THE AMENDMENT GAINING.
(Elkin Times.l

AS the campaign wages hotter, and
speeches are multiplied, the amendment
grows in popular favor. Democratic en-
thusiasm was never more healthy, while
the Republicans all but concede the vic
tory. White Republicans are declaring in
favor of the amendment along with their
Populist friends all over the State.

1t is as much the duty of all decent,

crowd whose condemnation awaits them
at the polls in August.

In North Carolina they solicit money

THREATS AGAINST REGISTRARS

intend to do one of two things:
Make trouble, or put up an awful big
bluff.

Of silver money in the Philippines has
made an opportunity for counterfeiters
and there is evidence of one or more
gangs in Manila and the province who
manufacture spurious coins. The counter
feiters make Mexican dollars from a baser
and cheaper metal, the American nickel is
counterfeited and the brown s. bills have
been successfully initiated. But the clev-
crest and most successful scheme of all is
the coming of American silver dollars from
Mexican silver dollars. The silver I'm a
Mexican dollar, If stamped with the
facing of an American silver dollar,
Immediately doubles in value. for any
one will give you two Mexican dol
lars for one American dollar. The adj
vantage of this scheme is that a sufi-
cheney of good metal can be obtained by
melting up Mexican dollars, and when
stamped with the American facings the
new coins produce 100 per cent. profit.
Raids have resulted in finding several
baskets full of bad money In the rear of a
Chinaman's house, and a Filipino was dis
covered with a large sum in counterfeit IS
bills and a box of recoined American silver
dollars in his possession. The Chinaman
ami the Filipino have made partial confess
sions and have given damaging testimony.

of a gang operating on a large scale in
Luzon, and in which there are several
Americans and Europeans as leaders.

WORDS OF GOOD CHEER

Parts of the State.

Representative James E.. Watson. of

declared that If there is a ripple Of disaf-
lection among the Republicans in the Sixth
district he does not know of it. Mr.. Wat
son said he had been in every county in the
district except Shelby and knew what he
was talking about. Two years ago Mr..
Watson carried the district by 2.214 votes.
n he expects 10 do better this time, he
says.
Representative Watson's statement con-
corning the Sixth district was corroborated
by Miles K. Moffett. committeeman from
the district. Mr.. Monett said last night
that the district would give increased ma
jorities this year. Most of the free-silver
Republicans who voted for Bryan in 1876
will be with us this year" he said.
District Chirman Mccoy, of the Tenth,
comes from a district that rolls up a Re
publican majority of 5000. Il find in going
over the district said Mr.. Mccoy, that
there are many Democrats who will not
vote for Bryan. They are satisfied with
present conditions and do not care for a
change"
George A. Cunningham, committeeman
from the First district, says the campaign
will not really in his district un-
I'll the Democrats have nominated their
congressional candidate. Mr.. Cunningham
says they are having a rather difficult time
trying to find a man who Will make the
race.
Elmer Crockett, committeeman of the
Thirteenth district, said: I'VE gave Mr..
Brick such a big majority two years for
Congress that we can't hope to double IL
this year. but We certainly expect to elect
him."
Daniel ". Miller. of the Fifth district,
says that E. ;. Holiday, the Republican
candidate for Congress. will be elected by a
big majority. He is very popular with the
laboring men and especially with the
miners of the district. Mr.. Miller says
Holiday will receive a large Democratic
vote.
