How a Yadkin County Farmer Killed
His Big Hog.

How Yadkin County Farmer Killed
His Big Hog.
A correspondent writing from Til
den, Yadkin county, to the Statesville
Landmark says very amusing incl
dent occurred in that community not
long since. The writer continues:
While our "wild bear" was roaming
over the forest ore of our most inf1u-
entail farmers had quite time with
him. at the silent hour Of midnight
he heard strange noise about his
house and got up Immediately to see
what was the trouble. He ran liam
up" on the so-called bear. In his
fright and terror he seized fence rail
and pounded the animal so severely
that he thought he had ''saved" MIN.
He ran to the house and walked up
the entire family to see the bear. All
rushed out pall NELL When 10! and
behold! the farmer had broken his fat
tening bog's backbone into atoms. He
was compelled to heat water and clean
his hog before day. Now when he
hears bear he closes up both eyes
and puts his fingers in his ears. The
farmers bear tipped the beam at 80
pounds"

ABOUT THE sENATORsHIP.
Senator Pritchard Admitted He CouIt

not Get Majority OF Senate.
From Daily Sentinel Jan. 18th
/ Alexander Ellington, of Yadkin
He is not a member of the Legisla-
ture, but hopes to get good job while
it is in session.
When asked what he thought of the
Senatorial fight, he replied that every
thing was in middle when he left
Raleigh Saturday afternoon. He had
hopes that Pritchard 0uld win but
said there was no telling what Butler
could do. He added that the Populist
Senator was the shrewdest politician
in North Carolina and could out gen.
eral any Republican or Democrat that
might be named. Mr.. Ellington was
of the opinion that if Pritchard does
not win on the first ballot there is lit
tie hope for him.
The Washington Post Of yesterday
prints special from Raleigh which
contains some new points in the SEN
atoridl fight. The correspondent says
the opponents of Senator Pritchard
are now doing all they can to unite
the boiling Populists against him be-
cause he is opposed to interfering with
the lease Of the North Carolina Rail-
IOou w bIS COuUIclu Cbupduy. UOF
Russell is strenuOuSly urging the Leg
islature to take Immediate steps to
have the lease annulled, and the enc
mics of Pritchard are declaring that
Pritchard's reelection means the de-
feat of Russell on this measure
through the influence OF Pritchard,
who is an attorney of the Southern
and known to be against the policy Of
Gov. Russell on this subject.
lLo II
plank in the State platform of the
Populist Party, and it is now asserted
by the opponents Of Pritchard that
several more Of the bolting Populists
will not vote for him. 1t is openly
charged that the Pritchard forces
have induced several of the Populist
men berS to go home with the promise
To remain there until Wednesday, and
thus permit the election of Pritchard
by reducing the number of votes so
that the Republican vote will conSti-
tute majority Of those voting. 1t
is admitted by Pritchard that he can
not be elected today, because he will
not get a majority OF the Senate
Senator Butler is making the fight
of his life, and says he has Pritchard
beaten. Butler has sent messengers
for all the absent Populist mem bers
On Wednesday, he says, they will all
be in their seats.
SITUATION LAST NIGHT
Col. Olds teiegraphed his papers af-
ter midnight: Two things seemed ap-
parent tonight at midnight: First,
that the Republicans had tried to
stampede the Populists; second, that
some Republicans are likely not to
support Pritchard. 1t is said the
boilers caucus decided that its mem
bers would make speeches tomorrow
when the vote was taken, saying they
liked Thompson and would like to
vote for him, but that he had excused
them or agreed to their taking such
action. Col. Dds saw Senator Butler
at 1890 "There will be no election
today No reason is in sight and none
can be brought in sight why we should
pct elect Senator Wednesday.
Pritchard is beaten "
