she hoped he would be shot before they
got him across the river. Mary was
SO excited that II was necessary to take
her out Of the house IN order that she
might get some fresh air"
The witness said that this conversation
was held about O'Clock In the morn
ing. The news OF Solomon's arrest
reached witnesses house about O'Clock.
"What was that report?" asked Judge
F1ouruoy OF the witness.
at was that Solomon had been arrest
ed at Chase City, and some OF the money
had been found on him." replied Mrs.

phil Watson (colored) testified that
on the day OF the murder he was at work
for Mr.. Herbert Spencer, In Lunenburg
county. He went with the prisoners from
Mr. Gregorys TO the constable's house.
and he walked along with Mary Aberna-
thv "After," continued the witness.
1--WE started toward the Constable's
house. I axed her did she ever hear OF
such a thing as the murder? She said
she did not know nothin' tail about the
killing. or oder death OF dat poor
creature. Mary said that she remained at
the house ontill Miss Lucy said she would
20 out to set some hens. Mary said she
then went out OF de house with Mrs.
pollard who had a basket Of eggs on her
arm. Mary added that as she was leav-
ing the Pollard yard she saw tall man,
and said that she believed that devil
was the one who got Mr.. Pollard's
money, and believed that he caught Mrs.
Pollard before she Mary got outside the
yard. Mary Barnes stated to me dat
she believed IL she had looked aroun'

mad senatorIaI convention.

AS will be seen by an article upon
the first page Of this paper, W. B.
Rogers has declined the nomination
rendered HIM by the democratic (9)
convention purported to have been
held on OCT, 2,
Ia our article of last week We stated
that the convention" was held at
Norton. This statement is wrong, as
certified copy Of the nomination pa
per fails to disclose the point at
which the convention" was held.
In an article in the Capital Mr..
Rogers claims that he was nominated
by a convention regularly called by
the democratic senatorial committee.
This the committee denies and utter
ly repudiatea the convention" and
it's nominee.
SO far as We can learn no repub-
lican or democrat or populist in this
town is willing to acknowledge con-
nection with the convention" It
was held with but three in attend
ance, and those three claim to be
democrats.
1t is very unjust to connect Mr.. O.
A. Lewis with this transaction, as he
only acted in the official character Of
a notary and certified to the sigma
lures and not to the contracts Of the
paper. The matter seems to be pref.
tV we'll understood, and Mr.. Rogers
will get but few votes.

A Last Word.

With this issue Of the HERALD the
campaign so far as this paper is con-
cerned closes. During the many
weehs that have passed since the
nominations were made, we have en-
deaVored to give to our readers, mat
ters Of practical information. We
have printed the sayings of many
prominent men, vast majority Of
them republicans, upon the all inn
portant question of money, its kind
and the relation it bears to the peo-
pie From these sayings our readers
have been informed that at a time
when the question was not party
one, all the prominent men, or a great
majority Of them, were opposed to a
single gold standard, and most Of
them favored the use OF gold and sill
YER as money, The question is mar
rowed down now to one Of two things,
either our money must be based on
gold alone or upon a gold or silver
basis. Upon the official ballot will
be found eight tickets The voter
should bear in mind that the money
question ls the all-important one.
Then, il the voter favors single gold
standard he should vote for the re.
publican electors; if he favors
standard Of gold and silver, he should
vote either the democratic or the peo-
PIES party ticket Votes for any Of
the other tickets are practically
thrown away. The campaign in many
ways has been very pleasant. Per-
sonalities have been kept out, and an
effort has been made to educate the
people.
