POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

The News and Observers correspon-
dent at Newton relates the following
incident:
A Democrat from Conover told
your correspondent of novel eXpe-
1.ience that he had few days ago.
His wheat crop was small and he was
accustomed to haul it to the house
Of his next door neighbor, Republi-
can, to have it threshed. This year
his neighbor told him that No man
who votes for that id disfranchis-
ing Amendment can have his wheat
threshed on my land The owner
of the thresher kindly offered to go
to the Democrats house and thresh
the wheat for him. They charged
him no toll and the neighhors stacked
the straw and placed the wheat III
the granary without charging cent.
SO the Republican gained nothing but
the contempt of the men who were
present"
A gentleman who is usually very
careful and conservative in his estl-
mates and predictions writes to the
News and Observer as follows:
Northampton will go almost solid
for the Amendment and will give one
thousand majority for the Democratic
State ticket. There is much enthus-
iasm in all the precincts and we are
hard at work. The crops in this sec
ton are very fine indeed and the peo-
pie are in good spirits
The Republicans met at Lenoir
Tuesday and accepted the nomination
of J. A. Crisp, their nominee for the
Legislature, Mr.. Crisp having declar-
ed his intention of voting for the
Amendment. In his place they nomi-
mated an anti-AmenGment Radical
named John B. Isbell.
The Congressional convention for
the First district has been called at
Elizabeth City on july 10Th. non.
John III. Small will beyond question
be renominated in that district. Mr..
Charles l.. Alternately, of Carteret, has
been mentioned favorably through
the district as the elector, having been
endorsed by his county.

said the stock has not been sold ex-

this did not affect the condition or the

The American Woolen company has
brought suit for alleged libellous' ut
terances against the New York Press,
the ad damnum being placed at 100000.
The American Wooden company is a
combination OF WOODEN and worsted
mills in Olneyville. National-Provi-
dence. Riverside, Weybosset. Manton
and Valley worsted mills. the Inman
mills at Harrisville and Saranac mills
at Blackstone. the mammoth Wash
ington mills at Lawrence, the Phillips
and Beol mills at Fitchburg and
score of others in New England.
The suit is based upon a report in the
paper sued which declares that be-
cause the stock of the company offered
on the market has not met with a ready
sale the corporation has been handi-
capped. 1t is a well known fact that
the mills OF the combination have been
running at full capacity and so far az
such indications have been visible the
combination has had every appearance
OF being in a fiourishing condition.
