admit certain symptoms that the doctor
will inevitably insist on an examination. -

After stormy session of three
days, replete with old time scenes
of '6S, Judge Russell comes to the
front as the Republican nominee
for Governor of this good old
State of North Carolina.
That he is formidable candi-
date cannot be denied, owing to the
fusion combination that is behind
the always formidable and now
re-solidifed Republican party in
the State.
That he is vulnerable, rep
reh.nsible, weak candidate is
known of all men acquainted
with the history and experiences
of our Common wealth and her
heroic citizens in those ''times
that tried true mems souls''-in
the vicissitudes of war and in

ment of the State will be the
measure of how far these quon
dam Democrats have fallen be-
low the level of patriotism and
in regard for the principles OF
Jetfersonian Democracy, to
which they still profess allegi>
ance.
That Russell is dangerous
man to elevate to the highest
executive Office within the gift OF
the people of our State his well
known vindicsive nature estab-
fishes at the outset. He is man OF
abiding resentfulness and, while
open in venting it upon those
against whom 1t is entertained,
even the members of his own
party will admit that herein lies
a great objection to his advance
ment to so high a prefermen5.
That such is the sentiment of the
majority Of his party-and al
most the entire intelligent iele-
ment thereof, was certainly es-
tablished at the convention by
the decided and unyieldlng op-
position to his nomination, an6

Trays of nire baked 'possom,
Banked high with roasted yams,
Back kbones, brains and sausage,
With onions on the sly:
But no one mentioned Sampson blues
For huckleberry pie.
They talked of pork and turnips,

And many other kinds of grub,
That makes a toothsone dish.
They naa cd so much hungered for,
