WINCHESTER MEMORIAL FUND.
a Northern Man Sends Liberal Con.
tribution.

Kittrell, n. c., July 18.-(SpeciaD-
The Vance county yice-President OF
the Winchester fund has just receiv-
ed from Mr.. George IL. Cloves, of
Waterbury, Conn, a check for $25.
Mr.. Cloves, though a Northern man,
married Southern woman miss
Blacllnall, of Raleigh and is too broad
to harbor sectional feeling as this lib
era1 contribution attests.
This increases the Vance county
fund to SIS, and it is hoped to raise it
to 500 before the money is needed. II
the very advantageous bid Of Mr.. Zim-
mer. of Richmond, Ga North Carolinlan)
can be accepted in time the graves
can not only be marked but there can
doubtless be enough money raised to
erect a shaft in addition, as the other
States have done. The headstones
that Mr.. thinner offers at $1.25 COM
pleted and put in place, are of native
marble, two feet high, eight inches
wide. and two inches thick. While
these are a little smaller than it was
at first proposed to use, they cost only
about a third as much, and are, be-
Iieve, of the regulation size.

A CLINCHER.

Senator Vance, of North Carolina,
knew how to use pungent anecdotes,
and like Mr. Lincoln, owed much OF
his oratorica1 success to apt stories.
lust now and during the campaign,
these bits of humor will be much IN
evidence. We advise Democratic ora
tors to paste the subjoined good anec-
date in their scrap books for future
use:
"The argument that the success of
free coinage would result in cutting
down the wages of workmen puts me
in mine of a little story" said John
C. Fay, the well known attorney, yes
terday "A wealthy gentleman or
dered his coachman to bring round
his carriage and take him to the poll
ing place.
"'By the way, Patrick said he,
who are you going to vote for"
"'Well, sorr; I think, SORT; I'll vote
the dimmycratic ticket, sorr.'
"'But if the Democrats are success
full, Patrick, I'll have to cut down your
wages one-half.'
=" BE CORA, SORT, if that's thrue, sorr,
veil be afther yotin' the dimmycratic
ticket yerself,' was Patrick's quick re-
tort"

REPUBLICANS FOR BRYAN.
The Free Silver Sentiment Sweeping
West Virginia.

A special from Grafton, w. Va, to
the Baltimore Sun gives a good ac-
count of the political situation in West
Virginia as follows:
Since the nomination of Bryan and
Sewan The sun correspondent has in
terviewed more than a hundred leading
Democrats from the half dozen coun-
ties about here and gotten their opin-
ions of the ticket. Out of this num-
Der there were forty-two gold men,
but not more than a half dozen of
them will bolt the ticket, the others
preferring free silver to the return to
a Mckinley tariff. 1t is predicted that
the ticket will sweep the State by 90
600 majority The agricultural classes
look upon the nomination as great
agrarian movement and are wildly
enthusiastic, without any seeming re-
gard to prior party attiliatiOn. Thus
far not a Democratic paper in the State
has bolted the nominees, and the lead
ers. even those inclined to the gold
standard are getting into line. Among
the more prominent Republicans who
have come out for Bryan are DR.. Holt,
of Weston, and j. b. Menarger' OF
Point Pleasant
mariner of Senator Faulkner, said in
passing through here from trip
through the Kanawha Valley: 81 have
never since I entered West Virginia
politics seen such unbounded enthu-
siasm as is being displayed by the vot-
/ ers of the Kanawha Valley over the
Chicago nominees. Free silver is being
hailed as the cure-all for all the ills
/ Of all classes, and is going to sweep
everything before it. Kanawha coun-
/ ty. heretofore Republican by 1890, is
debatable ground and is claimed by
the silver people In Mcdowell and
Fayette counties Republicans are sc
disheartened that they have nominated
negroes on the county ticket and fol-
the Legislature. We will surely elect
three and possibly all Of the Congress
men on the silver issue"
Senator Stephen B. Ekins has an
: nounced that he will decline all out
side invitations to speak during the
campaign and devote his attention t.
his own State"

THINK OVER IT.

Have you ever heard OF a medicine
with such a record of cures as Hoods
Sarsaparilla? Don't you know that
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the One True
Blood Purifier, has proved, over and
over again, that it has power to cure,
even after all other remedies fail? If
you have impure blood you may take
Hoods Sarsaparilla with the utmost
confidence that it will do you good.

a Post reporter. People in this part
of the country can scarcely appreciate
the intensity of this sentiment. The
Nesterners talk as though they had
been victims of systematic robbery by
the inhabitants of the East. They
think that Eastern people grow rich
without labor, while they labor hard
and remain poor The farmers OF the
West are almost a unit for free silver.
They are going to vote this year with
out regard to past party affiliations,
and this is where Bryan's great chance
of winning comes in. The free silver
idea is strong per Sc with the coun-
try people, but it is strong also be-
cause it is regarded as a protest against
existing conditions The argument is
that if Mckinley is elected he will per
petuate the same financial policy that
Mr.. Cleveland has followed, and that
under it there viii be no improvement
in the condition Of the agricultural
class That is why Bryan viii get the
solid rural vote"

plause.
When Father Yorke appeared on the

by the audience.
