that he had not attended any Of the
Gill-Amis caucuses, and didn't know
positively what had been done. He's

4 young man from Wilmington
named Sutton walked around the Var
borough yesterday afternoon. and
stated repeatedly that II. G.. Dockerv
had scratched the Republican ticket
and was an assistant Democrat In
few minutes he ran up against snag.
Settle Dockery, the young editor-son
of III. G. Doekery heard the remark Of
Sutton, and they clinched. Dockerv
mauied him in the nose. and then they
were separated. An old man standing
nearby facetiously remarked: That's
