One Of the strongest factors in North
Carolina politics is the ex-Confederate
soldier. In all political contests, he
must be reckoned with. They recognize
Gen. Carr as a private in the ranks, who
did not forget his comrades in the hour of
his good fortune.
In Rowan county l find that General
Carr has an earnest and enthusiastic sup
porter in Mr.. A. H. Boyden, a sincere per-
sonal and political friend. He is in close
touch with the situation.
l would not like to risk a prediction
as to the winner, in this fight, but the
politician is net as influential a power as
one would expect him to be. The in
dividual voter is the great factor.

Winston-Salem, n. c., Sept. Mrs.
Jarrett Patterson, wife of a prominent
residing near Prices Store, Rock
ingham county, was brutally and Grimm
yesterday by an unknown negro. The
brute drew a pistol on Mrs. Patterson and
dragged her out in the back yard, where
he committed the nameless crime.
The husband was in the field at work
at the time, and their son had gone to
Prices. The negro made his escape, but
the news spread rapidly and soon a large
crowd gathered with Winchesters and
went in search of him.
Two negroes were arrested this morn
ing, but both proved to be innocent and
they were released. One was shot before
he was captured. When called upon to
surrender he ran, whereupon he was fired
upon. His condition is not considered
serious.
The searching party were out all night,
and they caught a glimpse of the guilty
party just before noon today, but he ran
into the woods. He was being pursued
this afternoon between Walnut Cove and
Stokesdale, and there was every reason to
believe that he would be captured tonight.
Mrs. Patterson said the negro was Of
ginger cake color; wore a white hat and
carried "a grip. Mrs. Patterson's condition
is reported to be critical. 1T is thought
the negro will be lynched or shot to death
as soon as the men who are hunting him
are convinced that they have the right
man. 1t is understood that they will
