THE NASH COUNTY CONVEN
TON.

From the Winston Republican.
The misleading accounts as pub
lished of this Convention and my con
nection with it, demand an explana-
ton.
]. F. Dobson and myself, both mem
bers of the State Executive Committee
attended the Convention, not to advo
cate the claims of any candidate, but
to advise its adjournment until the
Committee bad decided upon a date for
the State Convention.
Upon our arrival at Nashville we
found that no notice had been given
publicly and only six of the thirteen
precincts had held any meeting, con-
sequently the others were not repre-
scented. Nash county is entitled to az
forty,two delegates, but We found only

A LECTURIEG PROPOSITION.

We learn that a New York man who
claims to represent a syndicate, has
written a letter to Mrs. Pattie AIRING
ton, of this city, relative to arranging
a lecturing tour for her, with Raleigh
for a starting point. No doubt Mrs.
Arlington has a great deal to tell about
her experience in the courts Of this
State. We, of course, know more
about the way justice is dispensed in
own State, and it is barely posi-
BILE that a similar state of affairs exists
in some other portions Of the country.
However, North Carolina Democratic
courts, picked juries, and election
ton methods are a very fruitful source
for material to interest the public, and
it often happens that widows and CT
phans come in for a full share of the
troubles arising from court injustice.
Mrs. Arlington say s she is consider
ing the plan, but is as yet undecided.
1t is likely that she can tell the North
ern people things that will place such
books as Uncle Toms Cabin" in the
shade.

An Echo from the Past


Some time ago postmaster John N.
Benson received letter from William
F. Myers, of Effingham, ILL.,, asking
for information that he (Mr. Benson)
could not supply. He thereupon
turned the letter over to DAVIDSON
Armstrong, agent of the Borden Min
ing company. whose reply established
a correspondence of great interest
certainly TO Mr.. Myers, as the follow
ing extract from his own report of his
early career here will attest

named James Warren, who taught in house
about one-fourth of q mile east of the town.

George HENDERSON, who had mill on a
little creek about three miles from Frostburg.

All OF the people mentioned have passed

The farm is what is known as '.the Nefl

still there.
