It is quite evident that there will ibaf s,S
strong fight made In the Roanoke con-
vention for fusion with the Populists:2 :2
The Democrats Of NIeclelen burg and
charlotte already having taken stepas
IN this direction, several other count ties
arc expected to follow their example.
Talk Of fusion has been going on for
some time, but 1t was only In the lasts
day or two that the scheme took prac.s
tlcal shape. The Populists want thaa;
Lieutenant Governorship. Major Gaines.S
OF Charlotte, who is spoken Of for this;
position, Is regarded by many as too old
and feeble to make such a canvass astS
Is expected Of the nominee. EDemocratsN
and Populists about here, as q rule,8
lhlnk younger and more vigorous
man should be put UP. S$;{$3
The Populists will hold their cOnYerSss
tlon IN Roanoke two weeks before the
democrats meet. It Is expected that
they will appoint q committee tcSf ataass9
tend the Democratic conventions More
| than likely IL the Populist conventions
| decide that fusion is desirable and prans
| tlcable that body will suggest some
one for the second place on the ticket
Some OF the Populist leaders are known
to be opposed to fusion, and will fight;
the, scheme to the end. S. ;83 a
srfhe question of ofEexenapting new tfgfeSs .ss
ness enterprises from taxation Is being
| ar n note 49,
approval 1t is not generally known; 1;
| perhaps, that the Court of Appeals has
decided that the constitution prohibits
the exemption Of any enterprises from
taxation! and therefore nothing can be-
accomplished in this direction until ans
| amendment is secured 13fSSS
me Rev. DR.. Hoge has been pastors

this city nearly as long as Victoria has
rcisned over England. He Is servings

Is the only pastor the church has had.
During the long pastorate there has
never been the slightest trouble beteen@
pator and congregation, nor among the
members. 5fsJ5ii
