THE HEROIsM or GERTRUDE K

THE HEROISM OF GERTRUDE KING.
Gen. Clinton stood as if stricken with
catalepsy, while | sp-ang to Mrs. Badely.

sling from me and, lifting the lady, bore her
to ;hc couch. As her aunt SAM, to the floor
the girl had given a violent start, and. as
though taxing for granted that the escaped

raised he- hands and exclaimed fervcntly:

emotion she had braveiy suppressed when
her misfortune seemed at its height over

she broke into a torrent of tears.

sunk into his chair, and was undergoing q
strong inward struggle, but the expression
OF his face bodied little good to the girl who
still stood before him. In a moment he
ssraiShtened himself, and pointing to the
weeping maiden, sternly said:

see that this woman is placed in confne-

COL. WiODELL'S CAMPAIGN.
Declares that There Are Other Con-
federate Veterans" i'm this Contest.

Col. 4. NJ Waddell. who is making
an active campaign for the Senator
ial nomination, spoke in Charlotte
Tuesday night Of last week.
The Charlotte Observer gives sy
nopsis of Col. Wsddel's speech. in
which he assaulted imperialism and
trusts with vigor and ability.
The money question in this section,
Col. Waddell said, is as dead as the
negro issue.
The ObSerrcr'$ account OF Col. Wad
dell's speech said further:
Coming to his personal canvass,
the speaker said it seemed that the
people of this country had been con
sidering that there were only two
candidates but there are others said
Col. Waddell, in 4 laughable way that
brought forth applause.
After giving brief outline OF the
primary system. Gel. Waddell said
that there are four candidates in the
race, and three of thesc-Jarvis, Sim
mons and CARRIE mentioned in eN-
ceedingly complimentary terms
''Touching his own candidacy
which he referred to modestly he
related the history OF his acceptance
of the nomination against Dockery for
Congress and how. after II days can
vass, he beat Dockcry by 351 votes.
Four times he was nominated and
elected. said the speaker. and he had
never attended convention that
nominated him or asked single in
dividual for his vote.
Col. Waddell spoke of his work as
elector and his canvass in the North
for Hancock, his other labor for the
Democratic party for which he had
received no compensation-and fin
ally, the little trouble in Whining
ton two Years ago (Cheers). He
had worn the Democratic harness for
80 wears, besides having served in
the Civil War He felt himself handi-
capped in his candidacy, because he
had not the money of Carr of the or
ganization of Simmons. Mt that he
made plea of his honesty, but he
mentioned it a. an incident of his
canvass.
That Gen. Carr should lay so
much emphasis on his being a Con-
federate veteran surprised him, said
Col. Waddell. True Carr was a Con-
Tolerate soldier-'but there are
others (Cheers). He, also, said the
speaker, had been veteran, and Tom
Jarvis had his arm nearly shot of.
In conclusion the speaker said he
realized that the sentiment in Meek
lenburg county is against him or at
least for two of the other candidates;
but there are 90 other counties in the
State and the election was far enough
off for a change of sentiment or for
many things to happen. II con
tingencv should arise that would
enable the men of this county to vote
for him be would appreciate their
votes. Following his invariable Gus
tom he made this statement. or re-
quest to his audience; he never asked
an individual for his vote.
Col. Waddell was heartily applaud
ed throughout his speech and made
an excellent impression on his
listeners"

the most loving care and thoughtful
attention, saw that she was sinking
rapidly. Her father. brothers and
