has been printing weekly articles which
make claims of advantage for the
roundlap bale oyer the square bale.
These articles are purely advertisements

some question amongst some of our

Mr.. S. E. Watson, a merchant and

They are all fighting it. The bagging

MR.. SIMMONS MAJORITY.

The fine majority by which Hon. r.
M Simmons carried the vote in the
senatorial primary, shows clearly that
there was not 20 much objection to the
"machine" as many said. AS a fact
there was no "machlne' about it. 1t
was great demonstration by the
white people OF the State showing
their confidence in Mr.. Simmons and
their gratitude for his service to the
State.
It is quite gratifying to observe
that Gen. Carr and his supporters have
pleasantly and periodically accepted
the situation, and give expression OF
as much loyalty to the Democratic
party as ever. Thisis proper, and any
other course would have been calam-
ity to the party's interest in the State.
Gen. Cars letter to the party has
fine ring. and there is no indication
now that party harmony will not pre-
vail throughout the State.
What is ahead of the Democratic
party in national matters no living
man can tell but as for North Carroll.
