HE'S NOT FOR HARRISON.
A Well-Known Virginia Republican
Repudiates His Party.

Mr.. James A. Pugh, of Roanoke, Va,
a well-known journalist and staunch
Republican, writes the following to
the Richmond Times:
''A paragraph has been going the
rounds of the Virginia press that
James A. Pugh, ex-president of the
Virginia Press Association and a Re
publ lean, will not vote for Harrison.
He is opposed to the force BILL This

Record of Industries Established Dur
ing the Past Three Months.
From the Manufacturers Record.]
During July, August and Septem-
Der there have been organized in the
South 564 new industrial enterprises,
the particulars of which have appear
ed in our weekly record of new indus
tries. During the corresponding por-
tion of last year the number of new
enterprises shown by our records was
720, or 164 more than this year. The
total for the first nine months of this
year is 2,066 new establishments, as
compared with 2, 472 for the same pc
riod of last year.
With the cheaper raw material
than they have ever known before,
the Southern cotton mills have been
doing a large and profitable business.
During the year ended September 1St
the consumption of cotton by South
ern mills was 321, ,032, ,088 pounds, as
compared with. 2S5, 654, 487 pounds dur
ing the previous twelve months, an
increase of 35, 81, ,601 pounds, or 81, ,419
bales. This is the largest increase
ever shown in any one year. The in
| fiuence of this prosperity is manifest
| in the large number of new mills that
have been or are being built and in
| the very general extension of existing
plants and the renewal of their
machinery. AS much may be said OF
| the great Industries that depend upon
| the vast timber resources of the South.
There is activity and good margin
| of profit in every industry.

WEAVER IN GREENSBORO.
The Atlanta Journal Man Present to
Show Up His Record.

The Weaver party were in Green's
boro last week. The General and Mrs.
Lease made speeches in the court
house to about 500 people. Both were
given respectful hearing.
DIR. Exum was also present and at
tempted to make speech. The crowd
was largely Democratic and a number
of voices went up for Thad Horton,
the representative of the Atlanta
Journal, who was in the house. He
mounted the table with the original
affidavit testifying to Weaver's war
record in Pulaski. Weaver and party
evidently caught on to the racket and
before the audience fully realized the
fact, amid the confusion, they were
out the door and boarding carriages
for the McAdoo. Horton, in spite of
the attempt of Prof. Woody and 9th
ers to drown his voice, read the an
nouncement in clear, ringing voice
and was literally carried out of the
building by enthusiastic Democrats,
while the air was rent with applause.

WEAVER ATROCKY MOUNT.
The General and Mrs. Lease Spoke to
Fair Crowd Yesterday.

ROCKY MOUNT, N. c., Oct. 1.-Gen.
Weaver and party arrived here yes
terday. He was escorted from the
hotel to the place of speaking by
about eighty mounted men. The
crowd which gathered to hear him
speak was about three thousand, one
third of whom were third partyites.
The third party leaders had prepared
for and expected a large crowd but
were sadly disappointed in the num-
Der that attended, it being far below
their anticipation,
Gen. Weaver addressed the crowd,
following the general line of argu-
ment as used in other parts of the
State. After he had concluded his
speech Mrs. Lease was introduced and
with her accustomed satire attacked
the Democratic administration. As
a political effort her speech fell flat.
Perfect order prevailed throughout
the entire day and there was no eX-
citement at all, the crowd being in Il

Nancy Hanks has again lowered her

Doble, the jockey, to the judges stand
and called for speech, he said: I'm

The mare had been worked two
miles in 2:36 and 2:25, respectively,
earlier in the afternoon. The runner,
Abe Lincoln, stood opposite the flag
while Nancy was taken well up the
stretch for the start. Coming like
whirlwind down the stretch, Abe was
at her wheel, and Doble nodded for

| and at the first quarter in 81 seconds.
| The second and ''up hill' quarter was

reached in 1:02f. The excited crowd
began to cheer, but at a word of ad-
monition from the judge, lapsed into
silence. This was only broken by

quarter was made in 294 seconds.
AS Doble gathered her for the final

ner-They Fought Near Winston.
1t is said that there was boxing
contest Wednesday night of last week.
1t is supposed tnat no Aldermen
were present and it is certain that the
sheriff was not there.
AT any rate it is known that Hill
met Early late at night and van-
quished him. Hill is said to have
been as scientific in boxing as Hill, of
New York, is in politics, while Early
in his frequent lapses to the ground
is supposed to have Frustrated him
self for purpose on the principle that
''the Early bird catches the worm. !"
Worms are usually on the ground and
so was Early.
The spot selected for the contest
was near the Boulevard back of the
ZinZendorf and not so very far from
the spot made both famous and infa-
nous by Peter DeGraff. 1t was light
ed partly by the moon and stars, part
ly by cigars and cigarettes, but main
ly by torches and dark lanterns.
If the account furnished by friend
of the Board of Aldermen be true,
there were some 80 men present and
no women, unless some were there in
able. 1t was announced that the
affair would be strictly scientific

Hill had the advantage over Early.
He was larger and weighed more by
twenty pounds. Besides, he was as
symmetrical as Jim COrbett, and he

but Hill, recovering, drove Early int

The fourth round was ready ent

Hill was declared the winner.
Good order was maintained; nobod
