Rock Mount, N c., July 14.-In most
respects the political situation in Nash
county is gratifying to the friends OF the
amendment and the Democratic party
There is still, however, much work to De
done; for the Populists and Republicans
having fused on one or two of the cour-
tv offices and agreed practically on the
details for complete fusion, are bending
all their energies in campaign of mis-
renresentation to carry the county this

tended victims ears all sorts of wild
stories of dsfranchisement and political
outrages and wrongs.
But notwithstanding these untoward
conditions the black and tan this year
are hampered by a county ticket lacking
in both responsibility and intelligence
The Democrats never had a stronger or
more popular ticket in the field. Nor
over. and the retrospect is a pleasing one,
whenever for more than a decade past
the question of white supremacy has been
raised in Nash county the requisite DEM
ocratic majority has never been wanting.
First of all the white voters Of the coun-

are getting on the books this year.
The county canvass will begin Monday
The white faces in the ranks of the oppo-
