the representative of the rising Ethiopian
race and demanded recognition on this
''iudicus" committee. He told them thai
he represented 1900 negro voters of
Granville county and that there was only
$50 white Republicans, and that IF you
do not mind us now you certainly will
need us in November" This was too
much for Waller, of Alamance, so he
went to the rescue and told him, l sup
pose it was all a mistake about the
poultry department of the Agricultural
Department being abolished and he
might get keepers place which was
more than any ordinary darkey could
stand, and of course he became recon
cied, for Mr.. j. NJ. Sykes to have this
honor for his county.
This is the status of this district at
this writing, but knowing ones tell me
this ticket is only temporary, for when
the Congressional convention meets the
nomination will be thrust upon Adams
and he will accept it, greatly to the de-
light of W. =. Bynum, who wants the
honor of being judge, although the So
icitorship is better paying position.
This is the anti-Settle version of the sit
uaton, but the Duke branch of the
American Tobacco Trust still demand
the nomination of Settle and ii seems
now this demand of the free contributors
to the campaign fund will be accepted.
