Col. William A. Johnston died at his
residence here last night n ? o'clock,
from stroke of paralysis. Ills death
was not unexpected. as he had been a
constant sufferer for several months
from the same cause which finally pro-
duced his death. He served with dis

company of this section. .'the Roanoke

at Charlottesville. where his right arm
was broken. In the latter fight he was
promoted for special gallantry to the

soldier than w. 4. Johnston.
For twenty-five years since the close
of the war he has lived among his peo-

Carolina Wins Football Game from
Virginia by a Score of % to 3.
Winston, n. c.. November 4.-(Spe-
cal. THE Piedmont Tobacco Fair
closed at twelve o'clock tonight. This
was one of the biggest days Of the
great exposition. The first thing on
the programme was a parade by the
graded school children. Nearly one
thousand were in line. Next came the
live stock parade in which were some
fine specimens of horse and mule flesh,
cows. etc. This afternoon the old-fash-
toned tournament came off. Eighteen
handsomely costumed knights took part.
Five thousand people We're present. w.

or big exposition will be given next

VIEWS OF THE STAR.

Wilmington. n. c.. Nov. 4th 1898.
All indications now point to Il peace
full election in Wilmington. and it is
highly probable that the Republican ma
jority of about 1000 in this county will
be overcome This may be explained as
follows:
There has been an increase of about
five hundred in the white registration.
the negro registration has fallen off
about two hundred, and it is estimated
that the failure of the Republicans to
nominate candidates for county offices
has so Disguised the negroes that sew
eral hundred of them will not go to the
polls. There will be no intimidation
here. Every negro can vote without
molestation. But great many of them
are determined to resent the action of
their white leaders by taking no part
in the election.
The general situation in the State is
unparalleled in its political history. There
is a genuine uprising of the whites.
brought about by the horrible conditions
existing in Eastern North Carolina. The
women are as deeply interested as the
men. and their activity and energy are
potent factors in the campaign. Sew
eral thousand white Republicans, too.
have come over to the Democrats and
there is little doubt that three-fifths of
the Populists will vote for what they
call the White Mans Ticket next Tues
day.
In this (the SIXTH Congressional dis
trict, Bellamy. Democrat, will be elect
ed, overcoming an adverse majority of
FIVE thousand. The Democrats are sure
of three congressman. with strong prob
ability that they will elect five.
Everything seems to be going the
Democratic way. and indications al
favor a political revolution. The Stars
forecast is that the Democrats will elect
their judicial ticket by not less than
5000 majority, will have a decided ma
jority in the lower house of the Legisla-
ture and at least 2S of the 80 members
Of the Senate.
The strong points of the Democratic
position are that there will be decrease
in the Republican and Fusion vote, and
a considerable increase in the straight
Democratic vote. This augmented by a
majority of the Populist vote, will un-
doubtedly give the Democrats the State.
(Signed.)
