DELEGATES ARE THIRSTY.
Clay Center Joints Closed to Sorrow Of
Visitors

Clay Center, April 25-This city does
not pretend to be a convention town,
but the citizens are doing everything
in their power to make the delegates
comfortable.
The candidates recently engaged the
rooms at the principal hotels, but the
citizens are coming forward with their
homes and the delegates will be taken
care of.
Some of the Populist brethren COM
plain because the town is dry. A re-
cent rain made mud enough to go
around with a little left for home use,
but a recent election was against the
joints and they have been compelled
to close up. The proprietors are now
demanding the return of their contri-
buttons of $25 each towards defraying
the expenses of the convention, but the
committees up to date have hardened
their hearts against all such appeals.
| However, the joints are closed. An
effort is being made to readjust matters
| so the joints may reap a harvest DUR
| ing the convention, but the sentiment
of the city officials is opposed to such
action and the thirsty visitors are
likely to procure no immediate relief
The delegates who are attending the
| powwow at Wichita are expected today
with a small supply.

THE POPULISTS AND THE AMEND
MENT.

Some days ago in speaking OF the
action of the leaders of the Populist
party in North Carolina in opposing
the proposed amendment to our Con-
stitution, we expressed the belief that
the best element OF the party would
not be duped as they have been in the
past into following their corrupt
leaders in course that is so mani
testify opposed to their own best in
terests. Later indications, at least
so far as this county is concerned
and this is the part Of the vineyard
that we are particularly interested
in-show that our hope in this regard
was not i'll founded. Within the last
week several of the most prominent
Of the heretofore local Populist poll
ticians have called at our office to
thank us for what we had to say Of
them and to assure us that they were
with US on the amendment and that
thew would turn from the errors of
their past and 90 into the Democratic
primaries if we would make the call
wide enough to admit them. These
men to whom we refer are men of
local influence and as good citizens
as are in the county, and while we
cannot speak with any authority we
have no doubt that the doors of the
Democratic party will be opened wide
to all white men who are willing to
join in the fight for white man S
government in North Carolina. There
is always ''place for repentance in
politics. -GastOnia Nctrs.

In Switzerland the price of farm
