POPULAR WINTER SPORT.

Large Crowds of Skaters Continue to
Throng the Many Lakes and Ponds.
Skating at all of the lakes and small
ponds in the near vicinity of the city
continues to be popular. Lake Whitney
is by far the favorite and crowds num-
bering into the hundreds have thronged
it for the past week. Yesterday after
noon at least five hundred persons were
out, many Of whom were of the fairer
sex. They seemed to enjoy the sport as
much as any one. The shore of the lake
and the several boat houses were filled
with spectators, who derived much
pleasure from watching the skaters.
The New Haven Street Railway COM
pany, because of this increased traffic,
are running more cars on the Whitney
avenue line. The ice is for the most
part smooth and clear, being rough only
in few places where the snow of Fri
day evening fell after the rain.
Dickerman's pond in Westville, Malt
by lake in Orange and Hemingway S
pond in Montowese have also been daily
crowded with skaters.

The Peoples Party Convention Of
the Sixth Congressional district met at
Wadesboro Wednesday, the % In ult.
TO nominate q candidate for Congress.
The ballotipg began about 1;3O and
continued about four hours. The IS b
ballot stood. Dockery 50 and Keith 81,
whereupon the chairman declared Col.
Dockery the nominee Of the conven
ton.
HON. OLIVER Il DoCKERY,
the nominee of the convention, had al
ready been nominated as q free silver
and anti-monopoIy Republican. His
record is well known. He is an old
time Lincoln Populist who believes
like Lincoln, that Greenback money is
better TO carry on war than bonds. He
is an ardent free silver advocate and is
opposed to National banks. When the
Republican party pledged itself to the
gold standard in the last National Con-
vention, Senator Teller, az leader of
the free silver Republicans, walked
out of the convention and afterwards
voted for the Populist nominees, Bryan
and Watson. Col. Oliver H. Dockery
stands as a hero with Senator Teller,
He, too, bolted the action of the con
vention and took the stump for Bryan
and Watson. To take this action,
against the party-a lifetime, required
courage and patriotism that many did
not possess, but the "Old War Horse
of the Pee Dee" was not the man to
leave the common people when the
lines were drawn. He stands to day
where he stood in 1895, an uncompro-
missing anti-monopolist and ardent ad
vocate OF the free and unlimited coin
age of silver 1t a ratio of 16 to 1 In
nominating him the Populists took the
high and patriotic stand that Butler,
Bryan and Towne say all reformers
must take before a victory over mo,
nopoly can be won. This action ia i'm
line with the recommendation Of not
only the official heads of the PopuIists
and free silver Republicans but of
Bryan and Jones, of the free silver De-
mocracy, and cannot fail to meet with
their approvak Col. Dockery is the
logical candidate of the situation in
this district and true free silver Demo.
