WANT TO GO TO CONGRESS.
Has Solicitor Mott Promised Wilkes
to Two Candidates?

Sam Marshall, of Surry, who was
here May II, went to Walnut Cove
next day. Sam wants to go Con-
gress and he is out interviewing the
politicians on the situation. He was
elector two years ago for Congress
man Linney and it is given out by one
of Sans friends that the "Bull of the
Brushes" promised to stand aside
this time in favor of Marshall. Lin
ney has forgotten that promise now
and announces that he wants the
nomination again. While here Sam
called on Chairman John Reynolds,
who is said to be a Linney man. 1t is
whispered that John told Sam that
Brother Charley" would not be a
candidate for Congress this time, un-
less it was seen that Linney could not
get the nomination.
A Surry man remarked to us that
Marshall did not have the ''ghost of
a chance for the nomination-and he
ought to know it.
w. A. Bailey, of Davie county, who
was in the city last week, is" another
candidate for Congress in this dis
trict. 1t is told that he and Solicitor
Mott have made a deal-Bailey to get
the Davie delegation in line favoring
the denomination of the present Solicit
| tor. while Mott has promised Wilkes
vote for Bailey for Congress.
1t is reported that Mott has beer
making other deals. They say that he
| promised Wilkes to Sam Marshall
with the understanding that San
would bring the Surry delegates to the
judicial convention in favor of tn,
Solicitor.
"It seems that MIR. Mott is to hav,
considerable opposition for the nomi
nation for Solicitor. Dee Davis an,
J. E. Alexander, both of Winston
each want the place. Davis says h
is sure to get the nomination. 1t i
very probable, however, that tn
present Solicitor will be renomi

VISIT OF OHIO VOLUNTEERS.
Salem's Tooth Anniversary-Smal
pox In Academy in 1866.

L
| The May number of the Wachovia
Moravian has some interesting 'sChips
from Historic Timber by Miss Ade-
laide Fries. The following extracts
are given from it:
On the 18th of May, 1865, the 10th
regiment of Ohio Volunteers began a
longer stay in Winston-Salem. Col.
| Saunders established his isheadquarters
| in the house of Mr.. Edward Hege (now
| DR.. Hunter). They left again on July
18th, and "although upon the whole
| they had conducted themselves tolera-
| bly, we'll as body still little regret
| was felt at their departure, inasmuch
as it had appeared very plainly that
| their presence was anything but neces-
sary or pleasant, and their moral in
| fuence was anything but beneficial. :"
On the 18th of May of the same year
w. w. Holden was appointed Pro-
visional Governor of North Carolina,
to hold Office until the ''loya1 people
of that State should be able to restore
it to its constitutional relations to the
Federal government, - which restora-
tiOn was not accomplished until June
10Th, 1868, when Congress passed an
act receiving the State once more into
the Union, the State Legislature hav-
ing ratified the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, whereby suffrage was extended
to the former slaves.
The year 1866 was made memorable
to the inhabitants of Winston and Sa-
lem, by the coming of the Tooth ami
versary of the founding of the latter
town, the day being appropriately eel
ebrated in the Moravian church by a
large company of people.
Shortly after this festival a strong
movement was inaugurated to stop the
sale of liquor in Salem, and an ap-
peal was made to the County Court to
refuse to grant any further license, if
by their votes the community declared
that to be their will. To this the court
agreed, and on the 18th of March ''Sl
votes were cast in favor of the prohi-
bition of the sale of Intoxicating
drinks" within the corporate limits,
and ''only Is persons could be pre-
vailed upon to vote the other way"
Prohibition was, therefore, establish
ed in Salem, and has been the rule
ever since.
Toward the close of the year the
community was startled by an out
break of smallpox in the Academy. A
piece of flannel cloth had been sent
from Richmond to one of the pupils;
few days later she was taken sick, and
before the disease was recognized it
had been communicated to number
of others. In those days the facilities
for complete quarantine were not
great, and quite number of the girls
were ill, as well as various people
living in the town, but throughout the
entire epidemic not a single death Oc-
