NOT TRUE.
Some Of the Statements in Regard to
the Death Of F. c. Burdette, OF
Grafton.

1t is now denied by F. C. Bur
dette's relatives at Grafton that
there was any element to prove sui
eide in the death OF the man in ques-
ton. 1t is stated that the chemist
at Baltimore to whom the stomach
was sent for analysis has not yet re
ported the result of the investiga
tion.
We are sorry that This paper
stated that he had and that the re-
suit was the discovery Of enough
poison in the organ to kill several
men. The reports however had been
sent out from Grafton to all the city
papers and there was apparently no
reason for doubling them.

Vice President Hobart may again
be President McKinley's running
mate in 1900. 1t is understood that
this question will be determined
during MI. McKinley's stay at
Thomasville, Ga. The president is
in favor of such course and so is
Mr.. Hanna. The point to be dis
cussed and decided is whether it
will be polite to break the prece-
dent which displaces the vice presi-
dent at the close of the first term.
This unwritten rule has never been
broken up to date
