A Short Sketch of Our Candidate
for Judge.

Mr.. W. N. Mebane, who was nomi-
mated at the Democratic convention,
held at Wilkesboro July 25th, was
born In Rockingham county In 1874,
and is therefore so years of age. He
is the son of Presbyterian minister.
His father died in 1859, leaving a
wife and four small children to be sup
ported by the 15-year-old son.
Before Is years old young Mebane
joined the army in Virginia as a pri-
Vate and fought through the entire
war, being in every fight except the
Battle Of the Wilderness. He was
with Gen. Lee when the latter sur
rendered at AppOmatox.
school and thereby supported him
self, mother and other children. He
studied law at night.
In 1874 and 1876 Mr.. Mebane repre-
sented Rockingham county in the
Legislature, making splendid
reputation for himself in 1876 on the
interest question. He canvaSSed his
native county for the constitutional
question and has been actively engag-
ed IN politics ever since.
Mr.. Mebane is pronounced by such
men as Judge billiard, of Greensboro,
as being one of the best lawyers in the
State. A Winston lawyer tells TIE
SENTINEL that the Democratic can
didate for Judge has an excellent
practice.

Death of MIR. John King.

Mr.. John King, father OF Messrs.

John L. and r. r. King, of Green's
boro, passed away Tuesday at his res
ford county, at the age of 81 years.
Mr.. King had heen in feeble health
for some time, but his death was not
expected, though it was evident he
would never recover on account of his
extreme age. He was one OF the land
marks of Guilford, well known and
and fair dealing; loved as neighbor
for his social, kindly disposition, and
admired by all for his frankness. He
always called spade spade and
made no apologies for it. The writer
knew him well. He was a Democrat

An interesting story of battle be-
tween a rattlesnake and d rat CONES
from Kentucky. Says the Glasgow
Times: "a huge rattfesnake was i'm
prisoned in a box into which d large
rat was placed. Hostilities COM
menced at once. The snake, coillng
himself, struck yiciously at the rodent,
of the way. This was repeated until
the snake in condition of blind fury,
made tremendous lunge at the rat,
which again successfully executed its
tactics of jumping to one side. Then
almost quicker than the eye could fol-
low, the rat rushed directly at the
snake, as it lay extended on the floor.
| and fastened itself on the back of its
| neck, and never let go till it had bit
| ten the head nearly of the body
This ended the fight. The snake died
almost instantly, and the rat trotteo
off to the other side of the box un

not even a candidate for the Office.
The highest vote except the nomi-
mating one was for Judge Graves, of

son received 76.
There were three regular candidates
-Gravcs, of Surry; Gather, OF Dayie,
and Mebane, of Rockingham. The

Gather was 62. Mcbaue's highest
ballot before he received the nominal
tion was l02.

highest was 80 votes and that Of Nc
lntosh II.
When the balloting began Forsyth's
delegation divided its vote between
Graves, Gather and Mebane and as
the ball0tiag progressed Fields, of
Alleghany, received small portion of
her vote. At one time their ballot
was s0!idly for Patterson, OF Winston.
On the last ballot her vote was a

Wn0t was Done.
1t was not generally known-but 1T
came off just the same. At 1:15 p. m.
Saturday the Wheeler faction of the
Republican party in Forsyth county
met In convention at the courthouse
and elected delegates Of their own per-
suasion to the various conventions.
Timothy Booze called the conven-
tion to order. The attendance was
not 80 large az at the convention held
at the same place at IL o'clock by the
Reynolds faction. However, there
Eli Mullican was elected chairman
and John Eagleson and John S. Fits

lowing townships represented: Alb
bott's Creek, Belews Creek, Bethania,

man made a motion, which was

elected delegates by getting voters
from High Point and other parts OF
Guilford county. He also told why
he did not recognize Little Jodie"
Bodenhamer's call for township
meeting in Middle Fork. Mr.. Lehman
said he was chairman OF the township
committee and therefore called a
meeting himself-ignorfng "Jodie's"
call because he was not man in au-
thority. He said that a contest
would be made before the State con-
vention to see which faction tRey-
nolds or Wheelerl represented the
party in Forsyth.
The Convention adjourned without
giving any instructions to the dele
