ROCKY MOUNT.
THE SENATORIAL QUESTION-TO-
BACCO MARKET-NEW SHOPS.

bkAOOO .MAfADl- w St1OIO.
Especial to Virginian- Pilot.)
Rocky Mount, N. c.. Oct. 3.-There
was a considerable gathering of Nash
county people at Nashville, the county
seat. yesterday, in expectation OF hear
ing Gen. ]. S. Carr, one OF the Sena-
torial candidates. General Carr, how
ever. was not able to come owing to
some pressing business engagements at
home.
The Senatorial question is exciting
dates. namely. Simmons. Carr, Waddell
and Jarvis. seem to have a following in
Nash county, but the first two are far
in the lead. Which one of them will
carry the county in the primaries is q
doubtful question.
THE TOBACCO MARKET.
The tobacco market here Is holding
it's own. Notwithstanding the very adj
verse conditions under which this
years crop was made. The grades
offered for sale are bringing prices. in
most cases, satisfactory to the sellers.
The cotton farmers (and there are
many in the section around) are rap
idly dsposing of their crops. The
whole cotton crop has just about been
gathered. This is something unprece-
dented in this county before.
NEW RAILROAD SHOPS.
The new railroad repair shops at
South Rocky Mount will soon be COM
pleted. The influx OF new operators
and machinists required by the dou-
bling OF the force hitherto employed
there has quickened the energies of the
house builders in town, who are adding
new houses to the pretty village sit :
uated at that place.

When this has been accomplished the dis
