To be Held In Salem Next Monday to
Nominate Candidates.
The Republican chairman Of the diff
.forent counties composing this sena-
torial and legislative district have is
sued call for mass meeting to be
held in Salem Monday, October 10
court day., for the purpose of consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of nominating can
dldates for the senate and house. All
Republicans in the district are invited
to be present. The call is signed by
Chairman A. S. Asberry, of Roanoke
city; G. w. Wilson, chairman, of Mont
gomery county; w. Lee Brand, chair
man of Roanoke county and Chairman
Elmo, of Craig county.
This call was issued after a careful
canvass of the situation, majority of
the chairmen favor the nominating of
candidates for both senate and house,
and this will undoubtedly be done.
chairman Asberry, OF the Roanoke
city committee, is opposed to the plao-
ing OF candidates in the field, but il 1t
is decided to do this he will do all in
his power to help elect them.
1t is impossible to say who will be
nominated at the meeting, as there are
number of candidates in the field, but
1t seems to be the prevalence of opin-
ion that railroad or machine shops
man would be the strongest candidate.
Chairman Asberry returned yesterday
morning from Petersburg, whore he had
conference with Gen. Malone. He
says the Republicans in the eastern
portion of tho State are,.nominatipg can
didates in several places for both senate
and house. Thore is entire harmony
among them and they arc all working
for tho best interests OF the party. Mr..
Asberry says that, in his opinion, Gen.
Malone will not serve as chairman Of
the State executive committee again
after his present term expires.

A Long Drive.

Mr.. A. j. Evans, brother of Mayor
Evans, has arrived with his family
from Statesville, N. c. Mr.. Evans
drove TO the city in vehicle drawn by
two twin ponies, something that has
never been heard of by any one in this
section before. Both of the ponies arc
exactly alike, weigh the same and were
born from one foal. Tuesday night
they were placed in stable with par
tition between the stalls. This was
something they were unused to, and at
once they proceeded to kick the partition
down. They are very affectionate, and
will not suffer themselves to be parted.
