WILL THEY FUSE7
A Republican Tells the Proposition
That Has Been Made.

That Has Been Made.
1t is said that the Republican and
Populist State Chairmen have sent
word to all of the counties, urging
fusion on Legislative and county
tickets. This is perhaps one of the
reasons for the report that the two
parties are arranging to fuse in For
syth.
It comes from good authority that
some of the Republicans and Populists
were closeted in one of the rooms at
the courthouse just before the Popu-
list Convention opened Saturday. A
Republican stated to the reporter a
few minutes after the Convention ad-
journed that "a deal is on" Another
said that the present plan is to nomi-
nate J.W. Speas for the Senate, and in
addition, the Republicans are to give
the Populists one County Commits
sioner for their votes.
"Watch future developments and
see if my statement is not true, " added
the Republican.

Holton Went to See an Insurgent.

Chairman Holton, who left Winston
Friday evening, went to Morganton
that night. A correspondent writing
the Charlotte Observer, says: "He
came, it is said, at the instance OF
Congressman Linney, to interview
Lawyer John M. Null, whose opposi-
ton to Linney came near defeating
him at Wilkesboro-in fact, did defeat
him, SO the insurgents claim. 1t is
not believed that Holton was success
full. Null is man of determination,
and his securing the Senatorial nomi-
nation in this district makes him for
midable.''

He Could Not Accept the Nomination
for Register of Deeds.
To the Editors of The Sentinel.
Having noticed my name mentioned
as a probable candidate for the Office
of Register of Deeds of this county on
the Democratic ticket, 1 take this
method of thanking the good people
for considering me capable of filling
so responsible a position, but owing
to my business arrangements, I find it
would be impossible for me to accept
the nomination should it be rendered
me.
Thanking the friends who have so
kindly thought and spoken of me in
the past, and assuring them that 1
appreciate their good wishes and
kind words from the bottom of my
heart. and that they will always find
me working for the success of the
Democratic party, I remain,
Yours very truly,

Gen. w. r. Cox, Secretary of the
United States Senate, in an interview
published in thew Washington Post, Sept.
End, 1898, gives away the secret of the
Democratic policy in North Carolina
in the following words:
with q return of he Democrats to
power in North Carolina | think it
safe to predict that measures will be
adopted as they have been in South
Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi
looking to the elimination of a large
per cent. of the ignorant and purchas-
able vote.''
Gen. Cox writes the Raleigh papers
as follows in regard to the interview
''The language employed and idea
conveyed is that of the interviewer and
not my own. | made no such state
ment as contained in the quoted ex
tract. In the hotel corridor the inter
viewer was stating to me the contents
of an article in the Atlanta Constitu-
tion in regard to the deplorable poll
teal condition in North Carolina. In
preparing the interview after leaving
me from which the above purports to
be an extract together with other in
terviews for the Post, the reporter

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
The Driver Thrown Out and Pain
fully Injured.


fully Injured.
There was serious runaway about
o'clock Monday afternoon. Mr..
Sam Rominger, driver for F. & II.
Fries, was hauling bailed cotton from
the depot to the factory with the firm 8
big gray horses. The animals took
fright on Bellows Creek street and ran
down to Main street. In turning the
corner at the big coffee pot, Mr..
Rominger was thrown out of the
wagon and painfully injured.
The horses ran down to the Salem
square before they were stopped.
Bales of cotton were scattered all
along the route. At the old Boys
School the wagon struck an electric
light pole, which which was broken in
two places, the top part being held up
by the wires. Strange to say the
horses and wagon were not hurt.
Mr.. Rominger's injuries consist OF
several scars on his head and his
right ankle, the latter being broken
and badly shattered. The brake to
the wagon broke. This is thought to
have been the cause of the runaway.

Rarnacles on Warships.

The experience of orr vessels in the
Caribbean sea has served to justify the
contention of Naval Constructor HIGH
born that every ship should have its
bottom sheathed with wood and copper.
Indeed things have come to such pass
that congress will take up the whole
subject, in all probability, at the COM
ing December session Sixteen knot ves-
sells are lucky If they can steam ahead
at the rate Of IL knots an hour as mat
tiers are now. The bottoms of many of
the vessels are in foul condition, with
barnacles and grass growing on them.
The result is that each vessel Is just
that much inefficient and consequently
must take SO much more coal to carry
her to her destination.-Armya and Navy
