For some time there has been talk of
"hanessing the Yadkin," and it has been
known that this river could furnish
enough power to run every machine III
this part of the State if the Harvesting

nessers below the Fries power house at
Winston, has gotten 50 far as to start
the work.
1t seems now. however, that the Yad-
kin is to be harnesesed and that this fact
means much to Salisbury-one of the
benefits we are to derive is an electric

Work on the plant is to begin within
sixty days. and it is to be completed
within twelve months.

EVIL PRACTICES RESUMED.

change his spots.
Public decency was outraged the other

How was this man elected to the
United States Senate? When asked
that question in January 1897, Mr..
J. l.. Ramsey. editor of the Progressive
Farmer, said: "HANNA'S DOODLE
AND PROMISES OF PATRONAGE"
Il these were not the corrupting influ-
ences that secured Fritchard's election,
the editor of the Progressive Farmer
sandered the Senator. Ramsey made
his charge in the public prints twenty
months ago Did Senator Pritchard de
nounce Ramsey as a liar? No, but his
party thereafter gave Ramsey a $1,000
office. Whether that was to buy Ram
sey's silence, it is not for us to say.
What other evidence is there that
Senator Pritchard's election to the Sen
ate was procured or induced by corrup-
ton? Rev. Charles Ii. Utley, a Baptist
minister of Wake county, POpulist
State Senator in 1897, throws Il fiooC
of light upon the election of Pritchard.
In sworn testimony, taken in 1897, Sena-
tor Utley stated:
'On Saturday night after the bolt in
the POpulist caucus, while the minority
Populist were holding a meeting in the
Branson House. one of it's members said:
fill by voting for Jeter Pritchard, and
We will vote for Jeter Pritchard and fill
these Positions
at this time the minority POpulists
were discussing the advantage of voting
for Pritchard for United States Senator
and their opportunities of getting posi-
tons. One of the minority POpulists
said, just before the breaking up of the
meeting: IT WHAT WE HAVE
DONE TONIGHT Is EVER FOUND
OUT, WE ARE RUINED
Il was not in the minority caucus. but
occupied an adjoining room to them.
There was only a door between them
and me and their talk was so loud that
| could not help hearing them. At the
time / thought Representative Parker,
of Perquimans, was prominent in the dis
cussiOn."
There is more sworn evidence along
the same line given by DR.. Cyrus Thomp-
son and other Populist lights. Nearly
every Populist who voted for Pritchard
has got an office, and recently Pritchard
secured big place of Senator Wake
field, of Caldwell, who not only bolted
his caucus to vote for Pritchard' but
made a poor fellow who was appointed
laborer in the Senate divide his wages
with him, as a reward for securing the
place for him. The 200 Offices that
Senator Utley told about have been given
out to Republican POpulists.
The News and Observer has never
charged that Senator Pritchard's cleo
ton was procured ''by Hanna's Doodle
and promises of patronage" If that
charge offends the Senator he ought to
be denouncing Editor Ramsey, DR.. Cyrus
Thompson, Senator Utely, and all the

is SENATOR PRITCHARD CRAZY? HOW HE
WAS ELECTED 70 THE SENATE.


A few days ago in a speech at Green's
boro Senator Pritchard paid his respects
to the News and Observer, joining in the
yclp Of Blanche, Tray and Sweetheart.
The whole pack of Fusion orators, from
candidates for township constable to I'M
ted States Senators, are snarling AMI
barking at the News and Obesrevr. We
take their articles as the highest posi-
bic compliment for it shows that this
paper it getting in its good work. ut
is the hit dog that hollers."
1t is a duty we owe the public 10 show
why Senator Pritchard joins Adams and
Dockery and the negro White and their
paid little traitors in the FOpulist party
10 denounce the News and Observer. II
is because this paper has established
from his own statements that Senator
Pritchard ought to be sent to an insane
ASYLUM. and that he is the first Senator
elected in the history of the State by
corrupt methods, if Populist testimony
is worth anything.
Before he was elected to the Senate,
Jeter C. Pritchard made this declHrn.
ton in public speech:
Il consider that free trade and
gold monometalism are twin broth
ers. and he who courts gold mono
mptaliSm invites the disaster which
must follow in the wake of frea
trade
In a speech at HendersOnville, Senator
Pritchard went even further and de-
clared:
81 will say for the benefit of my
Republican friends that ! am free
silver man. Is to /, from the sole
of my feet to the crown of my head,
so help me God, and have been all
my life and always will be. If there
is any sin that | am afraid Of it is
the freeman's hate of Grover Cleye
land and ALL OTHER GOLD
BUGS, Wall street thrown in. If
the Good Lord will forgive me for
that if it be Il sin, then | am right
as Christian.
II any OF my IfleHuS uStF OL MY
advocating the gold standard | want
them to send me to the asylum he
fore | do any other crime, for there
is nothing in my Judgment that
would be greater crime than to adj
vocate the gold standard"
After the Republican National Con
yention had declared for the single god
standard, Senator pritchard pr0fesscd
as miraculous conversion as came 20 Paul
as he journeyed to Damascus. Here are
his own words:
Il went into the Republican Ma
tional Convention, and after care
fully studying the situation / became
convinced that free silver will not
give the country prosperity"
We submit that if Senator Pritchards
friends held his advice they will carry
him to an insane asylum, for he said
Il any of my friends hear of my advocat-
ing the gold standard ! want them
to send me to the asylum BEFORE !
DO ANY OTHER CRIME"
