bound, Mr.. Walton, of Morganton, en-
gineer, about three miles from town.

injured and a third is in a dying con-
dition. Orders to No. IA were to pass
at Conover, but Mr.. Walton saw by his

Graham Gazette: Where else is
there a similarly glorious record? The
town of McAdenville voted solidly
democratic, casting 200 votes at Lowell

deputy collector of internal revenue
and Mr.. G. B. Armstrong, chairman
of the democratic orecinct committee,
which occurred las Friday night on
the sidewalk adjacent to the %latter's
place of business. We give the &C
count which appeared next morning
in the Charlotte Observer: THE en-
broilment was brought on by n L.
F. Englesby, a feather-weight Vermont
lawyer, who came or was sent or was
called here from Washington to stay
Over during the election. 1t is thought
he was called here to manage the
challenged cases of his party. but this
he has denied, since the trouble. He
was talking to Armstrong. As LOT
tin passed by Englesby called to him
to come. stand by me- or help me
OUT and repeated to him something
which Armstrong had said. Loftin
demanded to know if Armstrong
meant it to apply to him personally.
Armstrong promptly averred that he
did not, but if he. LOftin wished to
take it so it was his privilege. Loftin
let drive but missed. Both are power
full men. There was a terrific struggle
The fight ended when Armstrong was
pulled off of his antagonist.
