ing what they considered a menace
TO the peace and welfare of their
section. We learn that these Sancti-
ned preachers were quietly told to
leave and never attempt to build an
other church in that section.
Clinton Democrat: The canvass
ing board of this, the Fourteenth
Senatorial district, met at Roseboro
Saturday and awarded certificates of
election to George FL. Currie, Demo
crat, of Bladen, and Evander Robe
son, Populist, of Bladen. The names
of j. w. S. Robinson, Democrat, and
j. L. Kennedy, bopulist, both of
Sampson, were not correctly printed
on the tickets used in Bladen and
were not counted. Thus Bladen gets
both the Senators this time.
Senator Marion Butler, National
Populist Chairman, seen in reference
to the published report that he would
support Mckinley, said: 1.-The re-
port is unqualifiedly false. I am for
Bryan and the Peoples party nomi-
nee for Vice President. I am in
favor of the National committee
nominating a candidate for Vice
President, August 27th. I I'm not a
Democrat I am not a Republican I
am a POpulist. I was not for Steven
son in '92 and am not for him
now"
Winston Sentinel: A young lady
from Greensboro was sent to the
hospital at Morganton last night.
Her story is a sad one. She had a
lover and it is said that he had APP
parently been a devoted one for
more than a year. They were to
have been married two weeks ago
last Tuesday, but as the hour arrived
a note was handed her which a
thus: 81 am gone. I love another.
Good bye" All efforts of her father
and mother and of loving friends to
draw her mind from the faithless
lover were in vain and from hours
and days of brooding, reason was
Overthrown.
Mr.. J. P. Sossoman, Chairman of
the Populist State Committee, writes
to the Philadelphia American, whose
editor, Wharton Barker, is the Popu-
list nominee for president, of the
situation in North Carolina. He
says every Bryan Populist is wv in
the middle of the road, for Barker
we take it. He is hopeful to this
| extent: Il am satisfied if we go
work and get good men in the field
as electors and a wide awake man
who will work in each Senatorial
and Congressional district, that we
can roll up so, 900 votes in this State
at the November election for the
mid-road presidential ticket. X X Our
State is rather peculiarly situated.
We are stained all owe with fusion.
Our leaders have fused with every
body and everything that could not
outrun them, or climb a creased
pole, and it has put our people in
such shape that it will take some
trouble to get them in line."-Ex.
Watauga Democrat: Miss Lucky,
from Rowan county, is in our midst
as a missionary. She is looking up
the benighted and ~illiterate COM
munities with the hope of doing them
good. No doubt this lady came here
with the purest and best of motives,
but we must say-and are proud that
we IAN say it-that if she is looking
for a destitute community in Wa
tauga county she will never find it.
Our people, in some parts of the
county, are deficient, educatiOnally,
but they are in touch with gospel.
We don't think that there is a single
person in Watauga county, but
could, with little effort, attend Sab
bath school every Sunday-and most
of them do it. The Sunday School
literature of the different churches
is use all owe the county, and we
must think that Watauga, according
to it's size, has as many churches as
any other county, and Is rule, they
are so well attended.
