TARBoRo, N. c., Oct. 12.-Since cur
State committee has arranged fusion
with the Democrats, it is the plain
duty of every Populist to give loyal
support to the whole electoral ticket,
and thereby secure five Populist cleo
tors who will support Bryan and
Watson and eleven votes for Bryan,
who is our candidate as we'll as the
democrats. The silver question is one
CT the fundamental principles of our
party, and was forced to the front in
this campaign by the Populists. With
out cooperating with the silver ele-
ment of the Democratic party we can
not advance this principle, but would
probably cause the defeat of Bryan in
this State, and gain nothing for Wat
son. Let every Populist prove him
self true to principle and secure as
many votes as possible for our cleo
toral ticket, as the election of Bryan ii
paramount to every other considera.
ton. In SO doing we Go not comproni.
Use our party.
Very respectfully,
w. E. FOUNTAIN.

w. r. Hunt who lives some three
miles from Augusta, was not EARNING
when he related his blood curdling ex-
perience of few days ago in the vi
cinity of Cross Hill. For the sake of
sound sleep, the residents in that vi
cinity are cautioned against reading
the following: Mr. Hunt was out os-
tensibly to hunt" partridge. After
soaring up one bird, and concluded he
would try the still hunt on them. He
quietly secluded himself and for awhile
heard nothing. He was. fast losing con-
fidence in that being game region.
when he became aware of slight
movement of the leaves among the un-
dergrowth not far away. Nothing in
particular was visible, but the indica-
tions were that partridge was NOV
ing around there. At last Mr.. Hunt
concluded to try chance shot AS a
result you probably never saw more
surprised and startled man than this
same sportsman, as a doe deer jumped
up before his eyes shot through both
ears with the bird shot. This surprise
was immensely emphasized by seeing a
buck jump up at the same time on his
inc the mans aggravating situation
with only No. s shot in his gun and
these deer at close range. and worst
of all the law was on in this county, SO
altogether the fright, and the law sue
cecded in paralyzing his arm until the
startled beauties had fled. But all this
did not make the hair stand on his
head as did screech which immedi-
ately followed the disappearance of the
deer. when Il loupcervier made its APP
pearance. evidently attracted by the
scent of the deer's blood, for it was
acting as 4 hound would when tracing
game by the scent. 1t did not take
Mr.. Hunt long to relate these events
neither did he remain long silent
spectator of these thrilling scenes. Sc
Letting the largest shot he had, No. 8.
he replaced the exploded shell with
this and started in pursuit of the only
game the law would allow him to
shoot, but he did not come within
range. 50 he cannot show any trophy
If the most exciting chase of large
game Kennebec county has witnessed
for many a day. This is MIR. Hunts
statement and he is too well known to
have it doubted He states that some
thirty sheep have lately been killed in
the vicinity.
