WINSTON, n. c., Aug. 20.-Capt.
Badly Williams vent up the G, 7. 8, Y.
Y. road yesterday to be present this
week at Surry court. It is thought by
good many that when Brewer was re-
nominated, and the campaign committee
at Washington had handed him his cam
palgn check, that We would hear 10 more
OF the split in the party II the Ft:th
district; but such does not seem to be
the case. Far from it. The colored
votes are now under strict organization
and being urged on by their race organ
at Greensboro have planted their anti
Brewer banner deep in the soil and more
do they cherish the idea of teaching him
lesson that he will remember
1t is their intention as far as
| your writer can obtain inform
alton, of remaining in strict or
| ganization until election day, and then
| turn out in body, go to the polls and
| there work TO keep the colored voters
| from voting ticket for Congress. They
declare, in the words of one Of their
| leader, that the Republican party
must be purged Of this political parasite"
and it now seems as If it will be done
| One Of BroWers most intimate friends
| from Surry county was here three days
ago and declared that he had already
| given up Granville county to our glori
Gus uncle Badly. 'Rah for Democracy,
in the OLD Fifth. Let the grand ball
| roll on.
A prominent Rockingham man to day
said that there was a strong feeling IN the
county to re-elect Representative 7. w.
| Hopkins and G. [. Walker to the Legisla-
ture. Their vote in the last session for the
| railroad commission bill and their in
tense zeal in doing all they could for
their county is greatly appreciated in
old Rockingham, and / nope that this
effort Of their friends may result in send
ing them back again. They were both
Democrats Of the old school, tried and
true, and should have an endorsement
Of their course.
Right much interest was manifested
here the past week over the county
Democratic convention in Wake, more
il fact than over any county convention
that has yet been held. The nomina-
tions Of Mr.. John w. Thompson for
Clerk, and ''Buck" Jones, Esq, for the
House gave the greatest satisfaction, and
many were heard to say, ''Well, this is
Charles last lick at the Clerk salary"
Amen.
} To morrow the first excursion train
: that has ever run into Madison over the
4. & S. road will arrive there at ten
; o'clock in the morning from this place.
: Many of our people are jubilant over
the completion Of the road to that point
| and it is thought that a tremendous
L crowd will go to shake hands with the
t Madison people, and tell them that now
! that bands Of steel unite US together tt
!. let both our young places catch on tt
: the progressive spirit of the age, and sal
!, for the haven of commercial success.

s TIE baseball fever has certainly strucl
4 this place right, as evinced by the crowd
X that have been attending the recen
}, games between Charlotte and Winston
c their wild enthusiasm and heavy hur
: rahng capacity. Winston never get
y left whether it is on increase ofpopulatiol
4 tobacco shipments or baseball. Although
6 her people belong to the cool headed bu
k siness class, yet they can do more sole
b cheering for their boys than can be hear
y anywhere. Now that Winston has take
the two best games out of the thre
# from Charlotte, and stands good show
n ing for the third, the title as champio
e, Of the State truly belongs to her. If an
is one does contest it, let US hear
re Yesterday the land for the new 500, 90

ar- lands Of the Hotel Land and Improv
lp- ment company is going rapidly forwar
&c and, although it will press them close,
is expected that lots will be on sale

excellent work here for the upbuildi
OF our thriving young cities. He is
en- exceedingly clever gentleman, and 0
