primary Democratic convention held
here yesterday, fourteen straightout
Democrats were chosen to the coun-
ty convention, which is to meet at

to soundly denounce the Wilmington
Messenger as ''dirty sheet" and
Grover Cleveland as a traitor
1.-THE Messenger has as much right
to it's opinions as Buck Kitchen, and
we assert the right to speak our cam
didate the same as he has to speak
for his candidate or oragainst ours.
No indifference or intemperance of
language from any narrow minded,
cross roads politician, special refer
ence being had to Buck Kitchen, will
have any effect, and he is welcome to
all the satisfaction he can get in Will

NORTH wILKEsBoRo LOT SALE

A Grand Success Seventy Lots Sold
The North Wilkesboro Land Com
pany had sale of lots yesterday
and despite the fact that the wealth
er was exceedingly disagreeable the
evening before and everything
looked discouraging it proved to be
a great success.
There were over seventy lots sold;
one half of these were bought for
business houses while the remainder
were bought for residence sites. The
price averaged from nine to ten
dollars per front foot, being about
three dollars per foot in excess of
what it sold for at the last sale.
Arrangements were made yester-
day for the location of large plain
ing mill in the town of Wilkesboro.
The mill will have sufficient capaci-
ty, supplying material for not only
Wilkesboro but other points.
We had talk with the president,
Col. George w. Hinshaw, this morn
ing in reference to the success his
company was achieving and asked
MIN TO WnaC Q1d ne attrlOuto III
cEiefiyf He replied that it was due
to judicious advertising in home pa
pers.
The company have a splendid pa
per at North Wilkesboro which is
doing them great deal of good,
and then the company have a two
years. contract with us for adverfis-
ing in THE DAILY and WEEKLY SEN
TINEL, which mas proven a splendid
investment. 1t pays much better to
depend upon home newspapers for
advertising than It does upon mouth
ing smart Alecks.
