Justice Campbell, OF Hanging Dog,
Chief of CherOkees and the Peedybees
and Who, If Each Drink is Worth One
Vote. viii, by Large Majority, be
Elected Governor, for Which Position
He is Prominent Candidate.
Here it was time for a preliminary
meeting; today, three witnesses are ex-
pected from Nash county, namely, Messrs.
W. FL. Arlington, Sorsby and G.
Smith; to morrow, two more are
expected the next day, three
more. 1t is probable the commit
tee will rest its case with the
examination of these eight. Counsel
Purnell said yesterday that the testimony
of Mr.. Arlington, alone, would probably
consume two days, and that the investi-
cation would be continued from day to
day. Mr.. Purnell said, moreover, that
they were fortified, as to pay, by the
opinions Of the Attorney General to the
Auditor and Treasurer, saying respect
lively that one must issue warrants, and
that the other must pay them. But for
all that, Treasurer Worth says he wont
pay out any more money to this Conun-
to do so.
Meanwhile, old Hoola Boom continued
to commune with himself in room 10; he
has been late at meetings before; he knows
he is a necessary link in the chain, and
besides that he is enjoying the credit of
that 500 40 he drew last time though
doubtless somebody else is enjoying the
cash of it.
He was reminded of the meeting when
he awoke. Was he bothered2 He cussed
crimson streak, paid his bill at the
Marlboro, and moved himself (about all
he had to mOve) TO the Branson House
where colleague Phillips is putting him
self up.
With his accustomed SaUiOr .faiTe and
knowledge Of himself, after his drinks
had been rudely broken into by his long
sleep, he stepped out for waister to
keep his belt in shape, but he was met
at the door of the bar by Counsellor Pur-
nell, and came out.
He said he guessed they'd meet this
morning You wait until all this thing
is over" said he land I'll do some fore
casting for you in politics, its queer
day when Att. Campbell gets behind !"
where did you get that name"
81 am always at it, | reckon that's the
reason" he replied with a sporty
chuckle. "My little girl Is named Attic,
after that Att; if it had been boy, it
would have been just plain Att Camp

The Chief Justice had no apologies to
offer; he was turfy in his manner and
right up to standard. "You can bet, "
he continued, chat
my name is Hoola, Hoola,
Hoola Boom! Hoola Boom
And, By Jucks! to day, I'm fuller
va as, fuller'n when | come!

| Pause for a moment upon the face of
the Governor |" Will there be a North
Carolinian whose pulse will not quicken
at the thought of getting candidate for
| Governor who can get all parties to-
gether, as easily as he can Fget himself
together. Potato Greek offers
him TO you Zeb Vance Walser,
he says, leaned upon him; true in every
walk of life, except his teeth, he comes
whooping from the heights of Hanging
Dog to the surf stunning shout of the
sea, the chief of the Peedybees- aye,
the livest issue the State contains to-
day--if he is an irredeemable issue.
