FRANKLIN.
Our humorist received and &c
cepted an invitation to visit ooe
of our Simon pure, true blue
Democrats to discuss matters in
general and drink goo1 cider.
On leaving to go home our hu.
morist was presented with a
copy OF the Sampson Democrat
and three quart jug IF cider.
He had not gone far, however,
when the jug turned over, the
corn-cob stopper fell out, the
contents Of the jug poured out
and was soon drank by the De IL
ocrat. He doesn't grieve at the
loss of cider but regrets that it
was drank by that d--n thing.
we hope, Mr.. Editor, that the
Sampson Democrat will keep on
abusing Gen. Weaver and the p.
P. candidates, for surely it is
making votes for them every
day. Let the Sampson Demo
crat understand that the people
are studying vital and living
issues aud will not be cowed by
the Force Bill and negro rule
scare-crow. You may put Wea-
yer down one hundred in Frank

lor's Bridge will meet at Red

The political pot is still boil
ing over, the fire being kept up
by both sides. The straightouts
held their primary on the even
ing Of the 10th to send delegates
to the county convention. So
few we're their number that they
cast their votes for deleg ates by
ayes and noes, instead of by the
ballot. We heard that there be-
ing only four voters present be-
side the delegates, they did this
to keep the P. P. from knowing
Of their sma number. We
heard the straightouts defined
the other day by one of the so
called followers of Cleveland,
and here it is: "When the tick
ct don't suit them, they just bolt
straightout and vote for who
they please. Two years later
they come back calling them
selves straightout Democrats
andnominate candidates Of their
own stripe. One of whom was
the candidate of the Indepen-
dent Boilers two years ago, but
yet
THE CAUCASIAN is the leader,
The Democrat is but trash
Well all hurrah for Viewer,
While Cleveland goes to smash.
