Mr.. Gray's Generalship.

Gen. Carr ought to feel highly gratified
at the handsome vote received in Raleigh
and Wake county. 1t is complimentary
enough to compensate for many disap-
pointments. Two months ago his init
mate friends told him that he could not
expect a big vote, but that he would get
a respectable vote in Wake. The returns
show that he came near carrying the
county.
Mr.. Carr was fortunate in that his
campaign in Wake was conducted by his
warm friend, Mr.. r. T. Gray, to whose
wise planning and successful execution is
chiefly due the organization of the large
Carr vote. Mr.. Gray had against him
nearly every politician in the county and
precincts and nearly every official in the
city, county and township. He has not
been active in political management and
did not know the ropes" SO to speak
But, with all these odds, he rolled ur
for Mr.. Carr, 2,2S7 votes in Mr.. Simmons
home county. 1t shows political general
ship of high order. In no county in the
State has Mr.. Carr more loyal and de-
voted friends than in the capital county
of the State, and they gave evidence of ii
that must be gratifying to him.

said vegetable, and that the defendant
has refused to take the vegetables
bargained and contracted for, and
to pay for the same; that the
plaintiff was at great trouble and ex-
pense to raise the fruit above re-
ferred to, and by reason of the de-

these there would be blocks of great

ranches, factory buildings and thou
sands of acres of valuable land in all
parts OF the country. Several years
ago she made a tour of inspection OF all
the property on which she held mort

and stayed at forty hotels in as many
