tonight and to continue the performance
in Bayboro tomorrow. The Doctor IS
as sweet-scented an herb as ever grew
n the Pile and if he speaks English half
as we'll as he writes her his audiences
will be highly edited. Though this flu
sion missionary goes out on the campaign
for month, he will continue to draw his
salary from the taxpayers of North Car
DINA.
HARD ON THE VOTERS.
James Philips Henry Adams, of Cary,
announces that he will not this year
make his biennial run for sheriff. This
is disappointing and hard on the voters.
They will be deprived of the pleasure Of
giving him his biennial licking.
HAS NO LOVE FOR POPS.
Mr.. A. c. Sharpe, the clerk to the
Board of Equalization. is n candidate for
the Senate from Iredell county. Though
Mr.. Sharpe is running on the fusion
ticket he has no love for the Populists,
and il elected he promises to have some
pretty spicy remarks to make about
them in open meeting. For his reason
ii is Il pity that Mr., Sharpe will not he
able to get there. He will leave here on
the eth of October, begin his campaign
in Iredell on the 10th and keep it up Til
the Doth. "Thcn I'll go over into 1adkin
and Davie and raise all the devilment
can until the Sth of November" he said
yesterday.
JENKINS IS NOT HAPPY.
The silence of Gideon's Band is omi-
nous for Jenkins. but the entry of John
w. Atwater. of Chatham. as an nde-
pendent candidate is n positive disaster.
The prospects of very complicated
political situation in the Fourth district
are cutie promising.
IN THE RACE TO STAY
lanes r. Lloyd. the Populst candi-
cate for Congress in the Second district,
emphatically stamps upon yarns circu
lated by the friends of Congressman
W hite. the negro candidate of the Reprh
lichn party. to the effect that he lloyd
had hoisted tine flag of distress and
wo. Id retire from the field Replying to
this in this weeks Caucasian, Mr.. Lloyd
sa$s: 81 will remain in the fight and
male a CANVASS of the district so no
one need he misled or deceived hy any
such rumors."
HOLTON'S CIRCULAR HARlT
OF course it is pleasure to read Mr..
Holton's campaign circulars, but it is
hard to see for what purpose some of
them We're brought into existence. They
don't seem calculated to do his own par
ty much good and certainly they don't
do the other fellow any harm. But per-
haps these literary gems are tossed off
merely to keep the chairman's hand in,
or for his own amusement. If so we
have no more to say.
ON WHOM ARE YOU BETTING?
Loge Harris persists in his determine
ton to tackle legislative nomination
this fall. He will probably be allowed to
do so unless negro beats him to it.
The public watches with interest the
race. Tomorrow's convention will set
tie it.
HAM JONES' NEGRO DEPUTY.
That was the most unfortunate thing
for Ham LONESOME negro deputy getting
at large the other day and serving sub
poenas on Mayor Russ and other white
people in Raleigh. Somebody may be
foolish enough to refer to it on the cam
paign, in case Ham is renominated.
ATWATER FOR CONGRESS-.
The report comes here that Mr.. John
w Atwater, of Chatham, tired of Rus
sellism and negro rule. has left the Flu
sonists and become an Independent can
didate for Congress. 1t will be remem-
bered that he threatened to do so when
the convention met here and he found
that the Republicans were running it and
debating the nomination of Jenkins. AT
Durham later Mr.. Atwater did bolt the
judicial convention. The Fusionists
here say they know nothing of Mr.. At
waters coming out as an Independent.
but add that they would not bes~surprised
to hear that he had taken such a step.
DANIEL AND HIS GANG.
o Daniel dear, and did You hear
The news that's going round;
The opposition rooster bird
Shreks out an ominous sound.
From Hanging Dog to Kitty Hawk,
It's discord and dismay;
While all along the old Pee Dee
It's sickening to portray.
The sanctified old Father Worth
No potion can supply;
No antidote your Cyrus has
The Doctor says you'll die.
The fertile Hallelujah Aver
Has cheeks as pale as death.
For every breeze that shakes the leaves
Gives out deadly breath.
IF you advance it's certain death,
If You recede it's hell;
No matter how your footsteps tend,
Your end their echoes tell
BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.
The best salve in the world for cuts.
