THRxAneus ,congratulates the
DenlecFzsie ass of North Carolina
upon tie osalNistion of DIR. W. p
Exum, Of this county, by the Third
Party State Convention in Raleigh
ras their candidate for Governor of
North Carolina. It is the suprem-
est burlesque in all the annals Of
history, and is peculiarly enjoyed by
the people of this county, who know
pr. Exum SO we'll. He was placed
IN nomination by Mr.. "Dal." Hardy
of this city. [Great applause and
prolonged laughter.]
1t is an old adage, we believe. and
/ is somewhere written,t that ga prophet
| is never without merit save in his
own county," which is generally
interpreted, that sometimes a man
stands a chance where he is not
known-.ana this is why DIR. Exum
succeeded in getting the Third
Party nomination for the first place
on their State ticket up at Raleigh.
But before the Ides of November
DIR. Exum will be known through
fout the length and breadth of North
Carolina-he will "teil it himself:
and then the people will not want
him for Governor and consequently
will not vote for him, He has gone

cording to his own statement he car
ries around often as much as six
thousand dollars on his person as
Imcre pocket change, not tc
lspeak of his resources in re-
serve-such as twelve hundred
bales of cotton brought oyer from
his crops of other years, twenty-five
hundred goats that he keeps purely
/. for fertilizing purposes on his farm
and among other things, too numer

on a wager.
VI DIR. Exum, himself, is man o5

! just little less strong than Samp
q son. He can lift a thousand pounds
with his own weight on top of it.
With so much wealth and so muc'
strength the Doctor can readily NEE
all the demands of his Third Part
