A FATED BLOCK,
Twice Before has the National Bank
Block Burned.

Block Burned.
There seems to be fatality about
the handsome block west of the court
house just burned. Twice before has
the block of stores which stood there
been destroyed.
The first fire occurred on December
s, 1879. Among those who were,burned
out then were DR.. V. o. Thompson,
druggist; John Black, Grocery store;
p. H. Joyner, general merchandise;
A. M. Payne, harness shop; a Cheap
John store and M. Langffeld, clothier.
The fire originated from a defec5
tive flue in the Odd Fellows Hall
on the second story about nine o'clock
in the morning.
The second confiagratiOn occurred
about midnight on Demcember II,
1880, and started in the clothing store
of S. d. Franklin s. Co. Besides this
firm DR.. V. o. Thompson, p. III. JOY
ner, Langfield and John Black were
burned out.
On both occasions the losses were
quite heavy as very little insurance
was carried on either of the buildings
or stocks of goods.
One somewhat remarkable feature
about both fires was that the large
four story brick building on the cor
ner of Fourth and Liberty streets,
Messrs. Hodgin & Sullivan, escaped
damage.
In those days Winston had no fire
companies or water works. The only
means of extinguishing the flames was
by hauling the water in wagons from
Belo's pond and carrying it in buckets
from the wells about town.

FooTvILLE, Nov. 23.-Notwith-

it was by greatly decreased major

the victory. Before the election you
could hear nothing but the howls of
Republicans and the sing of their bug
gy wheels night and day as they were
They could not then help showing
they were defeated. But oh now
their situation is awful to behold.
They are worse looking than a chicken
with the cholrea.
These U. S. stOrekeepers and
guagers who went up and down the
roads before election like a posted
sentinel or an Indian on the war
path-now go creeping to and from
their work like they were coming
from burying and true it is bury
ing of the Radical party.
To know that when their books are
closed this time they are not to be
opened by them any more gives them,
eXcruciating agonies.
The protracted meeting at Sandy
Spring the past week has been one of
great interest and there have been a
number of Converts. The pastor, Rev.

THIRD PARTY TOPICS.
The Result of the Election Surprised
j. w. Miller.


J. W. Miller, the late Third party
candidate for Sheriff, was in Winston
Monday. When asked what he thought
of the recent election he replied that
it surprised him. 81 was of the opin-
ion toward the last of the campaign -
said Mr.. Miller, ''that league would
certainly be reelected. l based
my opinion on the belief that league
would manage the colored voters in
Winston-Salem and thereby receive
their united support"
III. A. Watkins, of ClemonSville
township, was in the city also and
said that he had not seen e. M. Fish
Ell, the Third party candidate for the
Legislature, since the election, not
withstanding he and Mr.. Fishel live
in sight of one another. Mr.. Watkins
says that he had a conversation with
Fishel short while before the cleo
tion and told him that he would not
receive 800 votes in the county. The
absurd and replied that he would get
2.000 Watkins backed up his judg-
ment by telling Fishel if he received
that many votes he would give him
the finest beaver he could find. In re-
turn Fishel told Watkins that he
would give him fine hat if he did
not get over 600 votes.
Mr.. Watkins is now awaiting to re-
ceive what is due him.
A story comes from Vienna town
ship that the Third party advocates
up there were so confident of victory
that they got cannon in readiness
for a celebration of victory. They
fred the old thing off on Thursday
night after the election anyhow, and
then set it aside. Hearing in the
next few days that the Democrats
were coming after the cannon for
their celebration the men who had it
in charge loaded it again and swore
vengeance against the party who I'M
dertook to take it from them.

CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE.
They are Bobbing up all Over the
Piedmont Section.

They are BObbing up all Over the
Piedmont Section.
Since the election Mr.. Cleveland the
probabilities as to who will succeed
present Republican office-holders are
being discussed.
Capt. r. B. Glenn, of this city, has
a strong following for District Attor-
ney for Western North Carolina and
it is the general opinion that he will
receive the appointment without any
difficulty whatever. His splendid
campaign work as Cleveland elector
entities him to rccognition-at least
that is the way 'Vinston-Salem looks
at it.
The Twin-City, through Congress
man Bower, will ask Congress for an
appropriation for Federal building.
The amount Winston pays to Uncle
Sam annually for tobacco stamps en-
titles her to recognition along this
line.
There is another bid Winston will
make after the new administration
assumes management of affairs. This
will be the appointment of a collector
for this district who will move the
chief internal revenue Office to this
city, the banner tobacco market of
North Carolina.
Regarding the postoffices in Wins
ton and Salem very little is being
said as yet. Maj. S. III. Smith had
charge of the Winston office during
Mr.. Cleveland's former term and he
will have strong endorsement for it
this time if he wants it.
T. B. Douthlt was postmaster in
Salem and it is understood that he
will be a candidate for it again. Sew
eral candidates are likely to be in the
field for both Offices before the ap-
pointments are made.
1t was learned here that the
friends of Frank A. Alspaugh would
work for his appointment to the posi-
tion of deputy collector for this inter-
nal revenue district. The position is
now held by Willard Masten.

The Sberin's Bond.

Forsyth stands second in the list of
wealthy counties in North Carolina.
She is not so large in size but when
it comes to wealth she is in it. The
amount OF her taxes is large and as
consequence the man who acts in the
capacity of Sheriff has to give large
bond Sheriff McArthur's bond for
the next two years will be 800, 900. He
will have no trouble in giving it.

The meeting at the First Baptist
church at $3.50 o'clock Sunday after
noon in the interest of the Winston
Salem Young Mems Christian Associ
alton, was attended by about one
hundred men.
The meeting was conducted by State
Secretary Coulter, who stated that
the object of the conference was 10
raise the necessary funds for re-estab-
fishing the Association. In his re
marks he said that WInston-Salem
was the largest and most progressive
city in the State, but that she gave
less to the support of her Association
than anv city of similar Importance
in North Carolina. He referred to
Asheyille and said that thirteen bust
ness men there gave 800 each for the
support of her Association: Charlotte
pays $500 annually.
Mr.. Coulter concluded by saying
that if the Association here was con-
tinued the money must be raised at
once.
Rev. S. B. Turrentine, Rev. ii. A.
Brown, Rev. III. @, Bowen, S. E. Allen
and Maj T. J. Brown, spoke in favor
of the Association being continued.
Mr.. Turrentine was in favor of put
ting up new building.
Mr.. Brown said that 1--WE need the
Association worse today than we did
FIVE or two years ago. Let US not, for
the sake of our town and young men,
let it 60 down."
Mai. Brown said: s'For the sake of
our young men and the reputation of
our city we cannot afford to let it go
down."
Capt. Allen said Winston-Salem's
business men were both progressive
and liberal-hearted. He added that
if the Y. NJ. G. A. would do its part
he had NO fears but what the business
men would do theirs sect your
committees to work." said Capt. AL
len, "and l feel no hesitancy in say
ing that you will meet with success
Mr.. Coulter announced that the
directors had secured an option on
rooms in TIE new Jacobs block.

From Mr.. Ramsey he learned that

The Next Question is, Who Will Sue

The Next Question is, Who Will Sue
coed Him as Solicitor?
Since it has been decided that Thos.
Settle has defeated A. III. A. Williams
for Congress in the Fifth district, the
question arises, who will succeed Set
tie as Solicitor for this district?
Mr.. Settle can hold over until next
March, and according to his way of
doing things, he will probably not re-
sign before that time.
His successor will be appointed by
the Governor. Of course there will be
plenty of candidates in the field for
the office: in fact the probable ones
are already being discussed Among
the names mentioned are James Lew
ellyn of Surry, w. w. Barber of
Wilkes, and w. w. King of Stokes.
Barber, it will be remembered. was
defeated by Settle for the solicitor
ship two years ago.
