A CARD.

To the delegates of the State Demo
cratic convention just ended. Gentle
men:
A sense of justice to myself prompts
the following:
Having been a candidate for dele
gate-at-large 10 the Chicago conven-
ton, with pledge of support as my
friends and self believed from a ma
jority of the State convention, the
sudden change in the closing hours
of our honorable body this morning
occasioned surprise to all. Investiga-
ton proved that it was due to covert
but widespread rumor that / had a.
vowed purpose to support two prom
inent gentlemen for high places, whose
views, avowed or unexpressed, on the
momentous question of finance are not
in accord with the Overwhelming sea-
timent of the State. The party or
parties who made and were instrument
tai in spreading this gratuitous and
groundless assertion were guilty of
a grievous wrong, unprecedented as it
was on an atom of truth. No, such
intimation has ever escaped me or
thought entertained, and they who said
it said it with sinister purpose and
intent regardless of fact.
Respectfully,
WHARTON J. GREEN,
Fayetteville, N. c., June &c.

Cleveland Says He Will Never Vote the

Cleveland yesterday to one of his Cab

for surmise. What then will Cleveland

VIII he head a bolt and vote for gol-

distance beyond GoldsbOro, a farmer
got aboard and took a seat with a fell
low farmer Just in front of the seat of
friend who told me the following in
cident.
They 'howdied. talked about the
crops, the weather and politics. and
then the latest addition to the com
pany said: What do you think of

nominated for Governor"
The other farmer said: Il never

Smelling the woods, l can tell you.
Every blow was io-darter and a
knock-down lick Most of the fellows
who were against Trusts were APP
plauding Cy. Watson, and most of
the fellows who wore silk hats were
very still and quiet when Cy would
pound the life out of the Trust. 1t
was a day never to be forgotten. and
/ made up my mind then and there
if ever | got chance ] would vote for
Cy. Watson for anything he wanted
from constable up to president"
This is the sentiment among farmers
and others in this section. The Re-
publicans, and those Populist Office
seekers who are virtually Republicans,
have made no Roadway in their SANDER
of Watson. The people in this coun-
try know him chiefly as a fighter of
trusts, and they know that all the
little whipper-snappers who are hired
by the Trusts will oppose him "They
love him for the enemies he has made"

It is thousand pities that Grover
Cleveland could not have been here
yesterday when Mr.. w L. Kennedy
and his associates returned from a
fishing trip where they were very sue
cessful in catching sheephead. One
of these succulent fish weighed nine
pounds, and the string was so heavy
that it required the combined strength
of two robust colored men to carry
them to the hotel. Mr.. Kennedy lead
the fishing procession last year, and
he starts out again this season at the
head of the van, and from to-day's
catch it is evident that the fish are here
in abundance-all that is needed is
skill, patience and good bait.
X r y
Senator and Mrs. Jarvis, and Mrs.
Monteiro. and Mr.. Ed. Chambers
Smith and family arrived last night
There is good company here, and the
fishing is fine.

About Sharks.
An examiner of lads under Il
for the Civil Service Commission
gave for a question, ''Describe th,
habits of fish" Here is a Iitera
transcript of one out Of a batcI
of some hundreds of answers:
''The shark is about twenty fee
long, and has five rows of teatl
when the shark is going to catch
its prey it turns on it's side. The
sharks are found ind India, where
they are very numerous in AT
RIGA, etc. The way they catch
sharks is lowering a piece of meat
on a sharp hook land sailors will
do it for amusement, and the
shark is very hungry always, that
he will grab at the meat and find
himself caught.
"On of his foes are the sord fish
it will go and run it's sord
through it's stummick.
"When the shark has been
floating about iOn the water for
some time he gets a lot of small
fish in his mouth and they will 90
and lay on the beach and let the
small birds come in their month
and pick them off and will not
hurt them. The shark can live in
water and ION land. Going from
England to India, you will see
sharks in the Nile, they will fol
low ships for many miles on pur-
pose to get some meat, and then
perhaps not get any. They are
different kinds of sharks. the Red
shark, Etc.
The shark is a very curious ami
NAL, it can lay its teeth down
when not catching any food.
'Once upon a time there was a
ship going to america, and on
board some slaves the slaves were
packed so close together that they
could not live, and the captin of
the ship yOu'st to let some come
upon deck, and many of the slaves

captain caught her, and had as
many slaves as he could upon
