Politics are getting ripe in this cor
ner of the State and it now looks as if
Watauga, Ashe and Allegheny will go
Democratic this year. The Democrats
of Ashe will probably nominate DR..
b. f. Reeves, a young physician of
splendid parts and good speaker,
for the legislature. Insurgents are
numerous up here, constituting at least
half, if not two-thirls, of the Republi-
can party of this county.

fore the clerk here this week to try and
probate it anew, but the clerk is not
yet satisfied with his testimony and re-
fused to probate. The case has gone
to the Supreme Court. 1t involves
real estate titles all over the county.
A white man named Combs was ar

EX-GOV. JARVIS TALKS.
He Urges Personal Work by Demo-
crats-POpulists Returning.

Hon. T. j. Jarvis, Ex-Governor and
Winston last Friday on the train
from Greensboro. He is doing some
telling work for the Democrats.
He speaks encouragingly of the poll
tical outlook. The Democrats are gail
ing new friends every day, he says.
He has been through most of the
east, as far as Rockingham county ON
the Virginia line, Richmond county
on the South Carolina line and as far
as Charlotte through the centre of the
State, and says with absolute certain
ty that in all the sections where he
has been Populists who voted against
us two and four years ago have re-
turned to the Democratic party and
will vote with us this year.
In many sections numbers of Popu-
lists have gone into the Democratic
primaries and conventions and others
have declared that they will vote with
the Democrats.
Gov. Jarvis says that in his travels
he finds the Republican party disorga-
nized and in poor condition to make
au active campaign. He adds:
81 believe if the Democratic people
in the State will be conservative but
earnest and active, making good
nominations, as they have done, we
can win back many of the Populists by
personal intercourse and earnest work,
and secure Legislature that will give
US good laws and be an honor to the
State.
ST have never seen a campaign in
which the individual efforts of the
Democratic people will tell as mucf
as in this. / would therefore earnest
| ly urge every man who loves his State
to become an earnest worker in tho

noon. He could not reach home until
