LIMINGTON.

Limington. September 14.-The power
full wind of last Wednesday was truly an
apple shaker in many localities doing
much damage to both trees and fruit. 1t
is estimated that on the farms Of MIR. u.
j. Strout, Charles Potter, Loren j. Dole
and Haley Brothers there were blown off
nearly or quite five hundred bushels to
each farm, and many other farms several
hundred bushels each. We noticed as
we passed Mr. Strout's farm and orchard
some of the largest and finest looking
apples we have seen, which in places
seemed to nearly cover the ground. On
many other farms we noticed similar
effects of the fury of the wind.

MR. TURNER'S VIEWS
Opposition to the Amendment
Disappears Before the
Truth.
Mr.. Turner is Graifed at the Support Given
to Him in His Candidacy For Lieu
ia,ar4 Covorncr
tenant Governor.

Hon w. d. Turner, of Iredell, candi-
date for nomination as Lieutenant Cover
nor, is in the city attending the Supreme
court. Mr.. Turner is not a stranger in
Raleigh. In addition to his frequent
visits here to attend the Supreme court,
Mr.. Turner served three terms as State
Senator, and it is not too much to say that
he is one of the ablest, most faithful
and capable legislators who has repre-
scented Piedmont North Carolina in the
Senate in the last quarter of a century.
He is fine pariamentarian.
81 have been very much gratified" said
Mr.. Turner last night, ito receive the as
surance of support of my candidacy from
so many Democrats in different sections
of the State. 1t is an honor that l would
esteem, and would be in line with my
former legislative experience"
Mr.. Turner is one of the leading lawyers
of his section of the State. He was a
delegate to the National convention in
1895 and was one of the first supporters
of William Jennings Bryan. He is large
~ interested also in the industrial life
OF his town and section. His father was
one of the pioneer cotton manufacturers
in the State and before the war operated
the Turnersburg cotton mills in Iredell
county. While Edwin M. Holt was making
plaids, Mr.. Turner was making yarns and
heavy sheetings. Mr.. Turner was born in
Turnersburg, and has always been in
terested in the cotton mill business. He
is now president of the Monbo Manufac-
turing Company, in Catawba county. His
brother, Mr.. C. l.. Turner is secretary
and treasurer. 1t is well managed and
prosperous mill.
Speaking OF the political situation and
outlook Mr.. Turner said:
"The people Of Western North Carolina
are manifesting much interest in the
success of the amendment.
1.-The opposition among Democrats
heretofore existing, is daily decreasing
and the more they study and are in
formed OF the object and purpose of the
Legislature in submitting the Constitu-
tional Amendment to the people, the
more enthusiastic they are for the
cause.
Our opponents are vigilant in telling
the people that if the amendment is
adopted. that no white man can vote UNI
less he can read and write and that the
grandfather clause is unconstitutional.
This has had its effect, but as the light
is turned on, by those whom they have
followed heretofore, and in whom they
have the utmost confidence all doubt is
removed from their minds and their
earnest efforts pledged to it's support.
When they learn that no white man will
be disfranchised on account of his in
ability to read and write, they are en-
tirely satisfied. Our people are determ-
ined that North Carolina shall be govern
ed by white men, and white men alone
with this in view, they desire the
party, in convention, to nominate men
who will bring success to the ticket
While they may have individual prefer
ences, they will subordinate their choice
for the good of the cause. In other words
We are united and will place party above
men,

THE AMENDMENT IN THE WEST
Hon. Locke Craig Thinks the Prospects For 1t
Are Very Bright.

"The West is in fine shape declared
Hon. Locke Craig, of Asheville, who was
here yesterday as an attorney in the
Baxter Shemwell eXtradition case. ''The
Democrats are for the amendment almost
to man, and good many influential Re-
publicans, to my knowledge, will vote
= sfoTv~it. For several months past they
have been making a vigorous campaign,
both by speeches and through the news
papers, and have said so many things
against the amendment and SO grossly
misrepresented it that for a while our
friends were uneasy and anxious. Since
our campaign has begun and the objects
and provisions of the measure are under
stood the Democrats unanimously and en-
Enthusiastically for it. They not only en-
dorse it, but feel that it is the very thing
they want, and that it's adoption is essen
tial to the welfare of all the people of
the State. Buncombe county will give
not less than thousand majority for the
amendment. The whole Ninth district
will in my opinion, give a much larger
Democratic majority this year than in
1898.
"All the fair minded people of our
county regardless of party, are opposed
to Pearson in his attempt to get seat
in Congress when he knows that he was
fairly beaten, and this outrage will make
us many votes Some of the Republicans,
l am sure, would like to see Pearson
nominated for Governor, as they know
that would be the end of him and they
would rejoice to see him slaughtered.
They are about as tired of him as the
Democrats are
''Is Col Davidson still in the race for
the nomination for Governor" | asked.
''Why yes. I know nothing to the con-
trary, and have seen nothing in the pa
pers. Whether he receives the nominal
ton or not there is no man in North
Carolina that will more earnestly and
Loyalty support the party 1t is, however
unnecessary for me to say this. Fps

ability always has been and always will
be at the command of the Democracy
"You will be here at the State conven-
ton, of course?"
Eyes 1 will be at the convention and
Buncombe will send down a good delega-
ton that will help to nominate a good
ticket. We ought this year to put on the
ticket, for all the places, the strongest
men we have"
