H'he galleries looked as though
there were as many people in them as
could be. in any sense, endurably
comfortable, when the temperature
of the hall is taken into considera-
ton
There was nobody in the galleries
but negroes, and they composed the
only enthusiastic portion of the aud
fence.

The caucasian" also an Asheville
paper takes issue with Inc Election
Board in Craven county for certain
appointments as Judges of election.
They especially mention one Sam Will
lis. of Nanceboro township.
The facts as stated by a member of
the board are these: THE day we APP
pointed Judges of election the Repub
Leans and Populists appeared before
us with list. We adjourned two
hours to consider their men, that we
might investigate the ones they rec
commended. Some of their recOmmen-
| dations we accepted. Others we did
not. In the Sam Willis case, Vance
| boro precinct, they recommended b..
| f. Dinkins, others recommended Sam
| Willis. We found that said Din<ins
was the only straight white Republi-
can in the precinct. We found that
Dinkins had been taken by the United
States court for Illicit distilling and
compromised the same by paying quite
\ sum of money. We found that Will
| lis had been up before State court for
selling whiskey without license, was
guilty, put in Jail in default OF pay
| ment of costs. We found that at
| about all elections there the Repub-
lican party had been represented by
a negro, therefore, taking all these
| matters into consideration we thought
Willis the man to appoint and as the
| law required us to put one OF the
| Judges, on belonging to the opposite
| party, we did the best we could, con-
sidering the material we had to pick
| from
