COL. A. M. wADDELL's VIEWS.
Considers Predictions as to How Senatorial
Primary Will Go Utterly Idle.
(Wilmington Dispatch.l


Colonel and Mrs. A. M. WaGdell re-
turned to the city today, after az abb
sence of nearly a month. During the time
Colonel Waddell made a number OF
speeches in the interest Of his Senatorial
canvass, following his itinerary as origl-
nally prepared precisely, except at MUIR
ply, where a storm prevented his speak
ing.
When asked by a reporter for his opin-
ion on the Senatorial situation he sald
that he had little to add to what the
Charlotte Observer said of him SUNDAY.
He admits that in the towns Of the Pied
mont belt Simmons and Carr are talked
OF more than the other two candidates,
but in the rural districts the people are
not lined up for anybody. Many of them
do not even know that there is to be a
Senatorial primary. In view of this fact,
predictions as to who will win are per-
fectly idle. He considers that beyond rea-
sonable doubt a second primary will be
necessary. He is neither discouraged nor
over confident. He is in the race to stay
and will use every honorable means to
carry his election. His next speech will
be at Lumberton, October 18th, where
both he and General Carr are invited to
address the Confederate veterans He
will rest up between now and then. After
wards he will make a number of speeches,
but has not yet arranged his itinerary.

S. Christian, administrator of Marcellus
Hall, VS.. Southern Railway Company was
called in the Superior court today between
IL and II o'clock, and is now in progress.
Mr. Hall was killed by the 0. and G..

of the accident was at a crossing oppo-
site the residence of o. K. Proctor about
one and a half miles east of the East
Durham cotton mills, and the time was
on the 7th day of April, 1898. The amount
sued for is 81, 99999.
The plaintiff claimed that the deceased
came to his death through negligence on
the part of the defendant in not giving
signals for the crossing in time for the
deceased to get out of harms way, and
that the train was running at an excess
sive rate of speed at the time the acct
dent occurred. This the defendant denies
in it's answer to the allegations.

Favors Postponement.

To the Editor: ! agree with Ju lge A.
c.. Avery in his article of September 10Th.
SO far as he goes. | believe if it could
be done, it would be better to indefinitely
POSTPONE the Senatorial primary. l be-
lieve that if this policy be persisted in
that in few years the Democratic party
will become so disrupted and divided con-
trolled and used for the benefit of in
dividuals, that again the negro will hold
the balance of power in this great State
OF ours.
If the Legislature establishes legalized
primaries as declared for in the State
platform, it should also provide that
when an open fight begins for office
through the press or otherwise, by the
aspirant or his friends and endorsed by
the. aspirant, it shall disqualify said as
pirant and debar him from holding any
office within the gift of the people for a
term of two years or more
The Democrats of North Carolina are
wise and conservative as ever, and al
ways know what they want and who they
want to govern, and why kick up such a
stir over the Senatorship? We have 175,-
600 Democratic voters in North Carolina,
all of whom would like to go to the United
States Senate and with such big num-
Der to choose from the Legislature would
never be at a loss to find some one that
would fill the bill, possibly one could be
found from each county in the State and
a good one too, and in some counties you
might find two that think themselves
qualified for any position.
We Democrats down here in BERTHE have
been knowing whom we want to succeed
Butler for four years and we are going
to vote for him, too. Why can't other
counties decide for themselves? l be-
lieve they have, so let's let the quarrel
stop.
Respectfully,
J. B. Stokes.

to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the needy
and suffering. The proprietors of DR..

ten million trial bottles of this great
medicine; and have the satisfaction of
knowing it has absolutely cured thou
sands of hopeless cases. Asthma, Bron-

by it. Call ON all druggists, and get a

Simmons for Senator.

To the Editor:-I am an out and out
Prohibitionist of long standing. and l
have been watching the two or three
last campaigns in North Carolina, and
when l look back at the hard fought bat
ties between the Democrats and Republic
feans, and how the Democrats were under
for years and the Republicans on top,
and when l again look at how things
are now, just the reverse, the inquiry
naturally comes, how was the present
state of affairs brought about? The first
inquiry is who has been at the head work
in the State, and who has planned and
carried out and had carried out over the
State, the stupendous work that was nee
essary to overthrow the strongholds of
the Populists and Republicans. While I
am not taking any big part in this cam
paign, l am greatly surprised that Demo-
Gratis, any of them, should turn their
backs upon 'him," to whom they are so
greatly indebted, for his long, hard ana
faithful work, that has brought about a
better feeling and state of affairs in
North Carolina than has existed for
years. l refer to Mr.. F. NJ Simmons
whom l don't know personally; and l do
say, that Democrats, all of them, should
be willing and anxious to repay him to
the extent of rallying to his support and
election, if they count merit" anything
at all. Were he out of the way / would
go fully for Mr.. Carr, to whom | have no
objection whatever, and though | am a
Prohibitionist, above all other things, from
principle, l shall this time, if l live to
see the day, vote for F. NJ. Simmons. He
is worthy and surely should now have

FATAL SHOOTING ACCIDENT.

a A1AA< sTASS1DILlNl
Cando Herald: On last Friday one
of the most sad events in the history
Of the county happened in the house
hold of J. G. Siple, of Cecil. Z; It was
the accidental shooting of Mrs. Siple
by George Siple, one of her own sons,
a Lad Of but IA years of age The boys
older brother had been out hunting,
and on returning home had left his
loaded gun standing outside the door,
and, George coming in from the barn,
seeing the gun, picked it up as he went
into the house, and as boys often do,
held it to his shoulder, pointing the
muzzle at his own reflection in mir
sror on the wall opposite him and pulled
the trigger, not knowing the gun was
loaded. TO his great horror the re-
port was followed by a scream from
his mother, who was in the adjoining
room, and the sound of her falling
body. The charge had pierced the
partition and entered Mrs. Siple's back
near the shoulder. Death was almost
instantaneous. She lived but long
enough to take a few steps, when she
fell dead. I.
