POLITICS IN DAVIDSON.
The Rep-Pop Fusion Ticket-Both
Parties Dissatisfied.
Correspondence of the sentinel.l


LEXINGTON, N. O., Oct. 13.-The
Republicans held their county conven-
tion here today. A large crowd was
present, though many attended
through curiosity more than anything
else. The convention was to have
been held here last Tuesday, but on
account of the Reps. and Pops. being
unable to agree on ticket, it was
postponed until today.
''Singing Jim" Leonard, who was
nominated by the Pops. two weeks ago
for the House Of Representatives, was
called down from that position, on
account of Zeb. V. Walser aspiring to
the honor, and nominated for sheriff.
Rev. Geo. E Hunt,o Populistic fame,
was nominated for Clerk of the Supe-
rior Court. Will Harris was nomi-
mated for Register of Deeds. J. W..
McCrary, the present incumb bent, was
nominated for County Treasurer, and
z. V. Walser for the House.
The ticket. on the whole, is the
weakest the Republicans have put out
in many years. Many former Demo
party two years ago say they will not
vote the Republican ticket and several
Republicans say they wouldn't vote
for Leonard and Hunt under any cir
cumstances. John Collett, a promi-
nent Republican, CT the county, said
this evening that Griffith, the Demo
cratic nominee for sheriff, would be
elected by 600 majority. 1t is said
that the colored people are very much
stirred up over the two Populists be-
ing on their ticket, and swear they
| won't support them.
On the other side, the Democrats
have got out an excellent county and
| legislative ticket. Phillips, Finch and
| Griffith, the present incumbents. who
were nominated last Saturday for
| Clerk, Register and Sheriff, are all
good officers, and have discharged
| their duties with ability. They will
| be reelected by large majorities
tom" Dale, the nominee for Treasur
er is very popular in the county, anG
| Mr.. McCrary will find that he has run
up against a bad snag in him for ar
| opponent, although he (McCrary
| boosted in the convention here today
| that he would beat Dale 800 votes.

nee for the House, is a most excellent
gentleman, and will win many vote.

REVIVAL OF BUSINESS
Republican Journals Now Admf
Marked Improvement in Trade

Republican Journals Now Admit
Marked Improvement in Trade.
Some Of the Protectionist journals
are wiser than some others, says the
Philadelphia Record. The New York
Tribune, the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser andthe Puplic
Ledger, of Philadelphia are too
old birds to longer stultify them
selves by shouting calamity when
the whole country is beginning to re-
sound with reawakened business &C
tivity- Read what the esteemed
Ledger has to say on the subject:
"The improvement of business con-
ditiOnS can be no longer successfully
disputed; it is so general and SO mani
fest as to render ridiculous those In
scrupulous partisan organs which,
closing their eyes to the truth. con-
tinue to ignore it as if it had no real
existence. The leading financial and
trade journals CT the country, those
the special mission Of which it is to
present for the information of their
readers the most accurate statements
with regard to the state of finance,
manufactures and commerce, give the
most gratifying reports of reviving
activity. Tue principal daily news
papers of the great cities and the cen
tres of trade, among Others the New
York Tribune, which has been per-
sistently employed latterly in efforts
| to roll back the advancing tide of con-
tinued depression, have recently de-
voted entire pages to the reports of
| the representatives of the chief bust
| ness interests of the country, which
clearly show that the improvement
| during the last month has been GER
| tain and material.
Dispatches and correspondence from
all parts of the country tell of the re-
yival,of industrial enterprises;of works
which have been shut down resuming
| operations; of others, which have been
operated on reduced time or with a
| lesser number of operatives running
upon full time and with an increased
force Of employees, and of capital pro-
| Siding new plants in all those indus
| tries which are as props and pillars of
mercantile success. The great trans
| pOrtation companies, which probably
suffered as much as, or more than, any
of the representatives of important
! business interests during the late pro-
| longed period OF depression, are daily
| showing the assured increase of the
volume of business. The statements
| of the banks in all the large financial
| centres are equally satisfactory as in
| diSputa5le testimony to the return of
prosperity"

MIR. TATUM's DEATH.
His Skull Was Crushed in Tire

His Skull Was Crushed in Three
PIaces-A Mystery.
1t was Mr.. Samuel Tatum, a broth
er Of Mr.. Ham G. Tatum, who died in
Greensboro Monday morning from
wounds received. The Record gives
the following particulars:
Saturday morning Mr.. Tatum was
found at the stable with his skull
crushed in three places. He sleeps
there and was on duty at II o'clock
Friday night, when the others left the
stable. He appeared to be conscious,
yet did not seem to know he was hurt.
When convinced of the fact he said
he must have fallen against desk in
the room. The doctors say he was
aSSaulted-that the wounds could not
possibly have been self inflicted He
fingered until o'clock Monday morn
ing, when he died without being able
to tell who inflicted the death wounds.
There is no clue, as far as we heard,
but beyond doubt it was a clear case
of murder.
Mr.. Tatum was young man, per-
haps % or 80 years old, unmarried, and
was of quiet nature, remaining most
of his time at the stables.

SERIES OF SERMONS.
Rev. Mr.. Albright on "What if Christ
Were to Come to Winston p

Rev. Mr.. Albright on "What if Christ
Were to Come to Winston p
Rev. L. L. Albright preached very
interesting sermon at the Methodist
Protestant church, Sunday night, it be-
ing the first of a series on, "What if
Christ were to come to Winston" He
said that it was his intention by i'm
agination to introduce Christ to vari-
GUS conditions in Winston. He said
that if He were to come many would
hesitate to go and hear Him preach
until they had satisfied themselves of
a few things, such as: Does He come
by order of the Bishop? Does He
come by Apostolic succession Was
He converted at a Methodist altar or
was He catechised and confirmed :?
Has he had a seven years course In
College? Does He command all the
women to keep silent ? Did He go
clear under the water in baptism, face
up or down? Does He eat with pub
licans and sinners or does He take his
crust and go off to himself to eat it ?
Does He ride or walk, and il he rides
how?
Mr.. Albright thought great indig-
nation would be felt if he rode a bicy.
Gle or an ass, for we are very exacting.

A SHARP BLADE.
A Colored Republican Editor Express
es His Views.


The Maxton Blade, a Republican
newspaper, edited by colored man,
thus scores the white leaders of his
party who are trying to drive the
colored Republicans into the Populist
camp:
Ever since colored men were clothed
with the robes of citizenship the white
Republicans have taught them that it
was crime to vote any other than a
straight Republican ticket, and now
because they persist in doing what
they have been taught to do, they are
called rebels. They refuse to be driv-
en- into the Populist camp, and for
this they are called all manner of hard
names. The fact is, the white Repub-
licans are the rebels; they are the
traitors, for they are seeking to sell
the colored vote to the Populist party.
They will not be able to deliver the
goods, however.

THE SALEM REGISTRAR
Exhonerated of the Charges Made by
Keynolds, Goshen & Co


Since the registration books were
opened in Salem, Reynolds, Goshen &
Co. have been crying fraud saying
that Republicans cold not register.
The statements of these so-called
leaders were believed by Mr.. H. e.
Fries and other good citizens of Salem
until the matter was thoroughly in
vestigated.
The investigation was made Monday
night by the executive committee. of
Salem's Democratic Club. They
called upon the men who were making
the charges against the Salem regis
trar to furnish the committee with
the names of the parties who had
been turned down. Only eight names
were sent in and after investigation it
was discovered that the proof of the
charge was not to be had; that the
'sgreat tO-dO' made by Reynolds,
Goslen & Co, was about on par with
the statement made by Reynolds in
last weeks Republican to the effect
that Mr. De Vane's name could not be
found on the tax books.
The committee issued the following
statement of their Investigation,
which explains itself:
To THE VOTERS OF FORSYTH COUNTY:
During the past several days much
has been said concerning the registra- I
tion of voters at this place. To date |
eight (8) names have been presented |
to us, as persons who have been re-
fused registration. Five ~ under |
oath, declare some other place as their |
home, one, ~ so far as we know, has |
not presented himself, and two ~ |
will be registered, if properly identi- |
fed.
We will examine the case of every |
name presented to US, and assure the |
public that every legal voter will be !
registered, and that the election will |;
be fair and just to all.

From the Danville Register

From the Danville Register.
Richmond's new city ordinance fin
ing young men and dudes for flirting
with school girls, has just cost So
ciety youth 81 80. When Adam was
called to account he said he was
tempted by woman. That was not
brave and chivalric in Adam, but he
told the truth, and the law under
which he was punished also provided
punishment for Eve Young men
can't fiirt with Richmond school girls
without assistance. Richmond's RI
diculous ordinance ought to be abol-
ished or enlarged.
