Hon. John r. Webster persuaded
man to go to hear Tom Dixon lecture
in Reidsville promising to refund the
fifty cents if he did not like it. AT
forwards the man said he would not
take $3.50 for it. Those who deny
Tom Dixon great gifts are those who
do not hear him.
A Baltimore telegram, early We'd
nesday morning to the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, said: Late returns from the
wards of the city show that the regu-
lar Democratic ticket has been defeat
ed by $4,000" There may not be any
truth in that S mark, but it is an in
teresting typographical error.-Ashe-
vile Citizen.
Under the new constitution of Utah,
eight men instead of twelve make a
iury-women can vote and serve on
iuries. Polygamy is prohibited, but it
is not at all certain that the Mormans
will not control the politics. They
made trade with the Republicans at
the last election by which the Repub
Gcans succeeded on Tuesday.
A correspondent of the Statesville
Landmark says that Rev. G. c. Hay
more, a Baptist preacher of Mt. Airy,
is known as great dreamer. If,
while he is conducting a meeting, or
any time previous to its beginning, he
dreams of fishing and catches many
his success in the conversion of souls
will be great; but if on the contrary
he dreams Of catching none his sue
cess is little.
The people of this country never be-
fore had SO cheap, SO pure and so
abundant a supply of wooden clothing
as they now have on the approach of
the winter of 1695-'96. For this bless
ing they are indebted to free wool;
and there is not an economical house
wife who goes shopping these days
who is incapable of approaching the
boon. The barbarous threat of the
! Republican leaders to restore the wool
dI oies is enough to send chill down
the backs of millions OF American peo-
ple.-Philadelphia Record.
The Asheville Citizen says that at
the Republican ratification meeting in
Asheville which was addressed by
shining lights in the party, all the
speakers stood for McKinley's nomi-
nation. The significance of this is
seen when :. is announced that the
speakers were: u. S. Senator Pritch-
ard, State Senator Moody. Judge III.
G. Ewart, Eug. ID. Carter, w. w. Roll
Inns, Richmond Pearson, C. j. Edney,
of Henderson, John A. Hendricks, of
Madison, Il. p. Axley, of Cherokee, and
j. IT. Morphew, of Mcdowell. Senator
Moody predicted that North Carolina
would send solid delegation to the
National Convention for Mckinley.
Senator Pritchard did not announce
that Mckinley was for silver. The
Populists will make a note of this.
Good natured Senator Proctor, Of
Vermont, talks to Washington re-
porter about New Hampshire's Senate
rial warrior as follows Il see that

ton of his NeT England coadjutor in
