To our great surprise we learn
that in many sections of this county
almost an average crop of cotton
has been made this year. We have
been told by a number of very con-
sentative farmers that the farming
classes are in a great deal better con-
dition than they have been since

in the next Congress the sable figure
of George H. White, the only negro,

Winston Republican: A report
reaches here that the apple crop in
the mountain section is badly dam
aged by the sudden cold snap last
week having frozen much of the fruit
on the trees before it could be gath
cred. Very few apples are being
offered in the WinstOn-Salem mar
ket in comparison with other years.
Another reason is that while the
crop is short, a large quantity is be-
ing shipped by rail from Mt. Airy
and other places to foreign markets.
The Democratic vote on the 9Th
was. for Mr.. Bryan 157, 900 in round
numbers, and the Democratic vote as

would not equal that cast for the
Senatorial candidates. In 1896 Mr..
Watson received 145, 900. Governor
Russell 155, 900 and Major Guthrie
1000. Total 331, 900. In 1900 Mr..
Aycock received 1876, 900, Mr.. Adams
l26, 900. Total, 312, 600.
