GREAT DAMAGE ON ROANOKE.
Bridges Washed Away and Thousands
of Acres of Corn Ruined.

Weldon, y. G., July 49, Special)-
The damage by the freshet in Roam
olle river is disastrous. Thousands of
acres of corn are washed away. The
river reached AIS yesterday morning
and broke over the dikes ait Captain
Rheims State farm, flooding the fields
At the Bradshaw farm one thousand
acres of corn are under water, and
about twenty acres of cotton. Capt.
Rheims farm will lose about the same.
1t is learned that no loss will be sus-
tanned by the Caledonia farm on ac-
count of the freshet as the water did
not get over the bikes there. The
State Will lose in the neighborhood OF
$4,000. 1t is impossible to estimate
the loss TO individual farmers. The
crops along the Roanoke low lands are
washed away from Clarksville, Va, to
as far as they reach in the east. The
freshet is within five feet of the geat
freshet of 1877.
The bridge over the river at Roam
oke Rapids, 277 feet long, recently
erected by the Roanoke Rapids Power
Company, has been washed away. The
lower rooms of the factories were
flooded but the damage was light. \
washout occurred in the canal of the
Roanoke Navigation and Water Power
Company a few miles above town.
Workmen will repair the damage at
once.
Evangelist Edmundson preached TO

the altar when the invitation was

WILL GOLD WIN AT ST. LOUIS?

The gold men from the East have
been iourneying to the West for several
weeks. They journeyed to st. Louis
in June, headed by Platt, Cabot Lodge
and others, and there and then they
were bold and arrogant. They dad
not plead nor petition, but they de-
manded, and the Republican party
needed, Mark Hanna and his candI-
date. Mckinley, surrendered and the
Republican platform declared for
gold.
They iourneyed then to Chicago,
headed 10y Whitney, McDermott and
others. Here they pleaded and begged
but they talked to deaf ears. The
people had sent men to Chicago with
a verdict to be registered, and when
the gold men approached them with
their arguments, they simply pointed
them to the little blue button worn
on each lapel, on which was printed
in white letters, Just tell them that
you saw me-"
VIII the gold men stop here? 1t is
not likely. Already, it is whispered,
that they are packing their grips for
another "trip to St. Louis on the 22d.
Not to ask for gold platform or a
gold candidate, of course.
Oh, no; not that. It's to divide the
silver forces; that's all. They know
that with two silver candidates for
President their gold candidates
chances for election would be greatly
improved. Every leading silver man
from one end of the country to the
other that has spoken has declared
with unusual emphasis that the Chi
cago platform and candidates are all
that any reasonble silver men could
wish, but yet few, very few, have de
clared that the ST. Louis convention
must insist on naming a different
ticket. 1t will be we'll for the silver
masses TO keep their eyes on St. Louis
for the next two weeks.

supporting the Democratic free silver
candidate, but is ready to fuse on
honorable terms" with the gold stan
dard Republicans. Since the Republi-
cans failed TO name candidate for
Secretary of State, Mr.. Mewborne has
been Waiting around their camp fires
in a manner most frisly. Of course
he prefers to fuse with the Republi-
cans
Editor Ramsey wants a middle-of-
the-road fight, or he will bolt and vote
the Prohibition ticket; Editor Aver
wants Bryan endorsed, but he is afraid
they won't do it.
Senator Butler thinks it is a good
ticket and platform and deserves the
support of silver men, but it mHst not
have it.
Three Vance county Populists de
clared in Henderson Saturday that
they were going to support Bryan
without reference to what the st. Louis
convention did.
A Swift Creek Populist declared that
the party was dead except himself and
that he had the Bryan fever.
Ohio Wilson insists that Guthrie will
be nominated for Governor, and beat
the field by $4,000, and further says
that the nominee of the st. Louis con-
vention, on the 22nd, viii carry North
Carolina by a like majority, whether
it be Bryan or not
J. J. Rogers and others declare that
fusion is certain with a Populist can
didate for Governor.
Russell declares that ice will be three
inches thick in sheol before he steps
down from the ticket.
Senator Butler says that the money
question is the paramount issue; Sena-
tor Pritchard says that it's no such
thing, that the tariff question is the
paramount issue.
Really there seems to be the least
bit of clashing among our friends on
the other side.

counties in Kansas yesterday delegates
were elected to the non-partisan silver
State convention to be held next We'd

gates were instructed to vote for men
who will indorse the nomination of

The platform adopted by the Ma
tional Democratic convention, and the
nomination of Bryan, of Nebraska,
for President, ought to be satisfactory
| to every friend of free silver, no matter
what his political predictions may
have been and there is no reason to
doubt that the ticket will poll the tull
! strength of that element throughout
the country Roanoke Times.
Democratic newspapers should not
be too swift to declare their opposition
to the edicts of the pecially
Democratic papers in the South They
must not give up the fight against Re
publican dominion, because they do
not agree with the platform adopted.
If they do not like it, stay by the
party and try conclusions in another
convention. Nashville American.
The National Democratic convention
on yesterday afternoon placed the
Democratic banner in the hands of the
most brilliant young man in America.
The hour and the man have met. When
the platform was adopted success was
made certain. When William Jennings
Bryan, of Nebraska, was named as
the party's standard bearer success
was made doubly sure.-Birmingham
State-Herald.
The joining of Messrs. Bryan and
Sewall on the same free silver ticket
is felcitious mating of West and
East, happy union of agriculture and
commerce, which viii certainly not
fail to commend itself heartily to the
American people. 1t is a strong ticket,
and will, unless all the indications fail,
march through popularity to a splendid
victory at the polls in November.-New
Orleans Times Democrat.
William ]. Bryan is the strongest
man the silver Democracy could have
chosen. He represents to the full the
silver idea. He is the embodiment of
all that is in the extraordinary plat
form just adopted at Chicago. He is a
silver man, first. last, and all the time,
and at the sacrifice of everything in
the way of principle heretofore Off
cialIy known as Democratic. He has
been ready at any time to give up
every thing 10 secure the success of
his pet scheme, the free silverizing of
our currency, and even TO go SO far as
to give up the Democratic party itself
Mobile Register (gold-Dem.)
The nomination of Bryan by the
great Democratic convention at Chi
cage was the result of one of the most
spontaneous and irresistible move
ments that has ever occurred in a
political gathering. The delegates
| from widely separted sections seemed
to be swayed by a common and an al
most uncomfortable impulse. All
seemed TO feel, and know, and
understand as if by intuition, that
the man and the hour had met; that
the crisis had produced a leader for
the people, leader, young brilliant
and devoted TO the cause which the
people have at heart.-Atlanta Con-
