Con. Murphy, farmer of Marshall
township, Louisa county, who has al
ways been a democrat and the mem
bers of whose family have all been
democrats, has come out this year as
the supporter of Mckinley. He says
that the increased price which he re-
ceiVes for his cattle and hogs has con-
WINGED him that Bryan's statement,
that poverty would come to the farm
ers if Mckinley was elected in 1896,
was absolutely untrue. He is salts
fed with the present condition and
doesn't want it changed, and hence
will vote for Mckinley.

MR.. ATWATER COMMENDED.
He Has Acted With the Democrats Throughout
the Entire Session
Especial to News and Observer

Washington, d. c., June 9.-Now that
Congress has adjourned for the session
a great deal is being said here in regard
TO the composition of the House of Rep
resentatives TO be chosen at the NoYem-
Der election, the result of which it is con-
fidently predicted by many will be very
favorable to the Democratic party
throughout the country. l have noticed
several articles which have appeared in
the News and Observer recently advocat-
ing the denomination of Hon. Jno. w.
Atwater, as Representative in Congress
from the Fourth North Carolina Congress
sional district The writer, as native
of the Old North State and feeling deep
interest in the success of the Democratic
ticket, not only in August, but also in No
vember, takes this opportunity Of letting
the Democracy of the Fourth know just
how their Representative, Mr.. Atwater,
stands here and why it would be we'll to
give him a denomination.
Mr.. Atwater, though running as an in
dependent Populist in the last campaign,
received the votes of the great majority
of the Democrats of his district on ac-
count of the manly stand he took for
White Supremacy, and by his course IN
Congress he has not proved himself I'M
faithful to his constituency. At the first
he entered the House Democratic caucus
and throughout the session of Congress
just ended, he regularly attended the
party caucuses, always abiding by their
decisions and never failing to support any
work for the success of Democratic meas
ures. In a conversation recently with
one OF North Cardinals ablest represen-
tatives l was told that 1.-The soundness
Of Mr.. Atwater's Democracy in the party $
counsels here has never been questioned
in the slightest, and it is a we'll known
fact that John Atwater had more to do
in keeping Senator Allen, of Nebraska,
from attending the Populist State con-
vention at Raleigh last April than any
other man in Washington"
During his course in Congress Mr.. At
water has always been courteous, oblig-
ing and attentive to the numerous re-
quests made upon him by his constituents
as indeed he has been to all North Caro-
linians who have needed his aid in any
way No one will deny that representa-
tive who has served a term in Congress
has more influence and accordingly can
better represent the people of his district
by being thus better able to carry out
their expressed wishes, than represen-
tatiye elected for his first term.

COMPLIMENTS FOR MR.. BRUNER.
"A Cultured, Polished Gentleman, Well In
formed and Quiet hammered"

To the Editor:
Perhaps | will be pardoned for giving
to the public portion of private letter
received a few days ago from England,
from a gentleman of fine intelligence, as
it contains a compliment to one of our
citizens who has just returned from the
performance of a State mission in France.
1t refers to Mr. T. X. Bruner, the sec
rotary OF the State Board of Agriculture
and is as follows:
"Of course / realize that he (Mr. Bru-
ner) came to Paris as Commissioner to
the French Exposition, and that his hur-
red visit to London and Edinburg was
merely incidental to the trip. We were
all charmed with Mr.. Bruner. We found
him Gas you said we should) most Gull
tured polished gentleman, we'll informed
and quiet hammered, possessed of in
innate acquaintance with all the re-
sources of North Carolina, and / quite
believe better qualified to stimulate and
assist in their development than perhaps
any other citizen you have.
Next year the GLASGOW Exposition will
be held and I do not think a better OPP
portunity and place could be selected
where a repetition of the exhibit of North
Carolina would be of more advantage, and
where Mr. Bruner returning in charge OF
it would come more readily in contact
with commercial and agricultural parties
and places, visit to which, would be OF
incalculable benefit to him and through
him to the State Of North Carolina, which
| continue to believe possessed Of wonder
full resources"

portion Of letter he had just received
from Mr.. Bag,ey of Edinburg, to whom
he had given Mr.. Bruner letter of in

as to write as follows:

Gardens. Professor Balfour was at that
time engaged, but his head gardener TOOK
us round the houses, the professor join
ing us at the Palm House. Mr.. Bruner
was about as well up in this department
as the professor, SO they had congenial
conversation. After that the professor
took us up to Inverlieth and during the
afternoon refreshments on the lawn. (The

1t must heinteresting to the people OF
the State to know what impression any OF
its public spirited servants make when
sent on distant mission, hence | have
taken the liberty of giving extracts from
these letters to the public, as they fully
sustain the wisdom of the Board of Ag-
riculture both in the employment of Mr.
Bruner and in sending him as it's repre-
sentative on this important mission.
The magnificent hand book of the Re-
sources of North Carolina, while due tc
broad and intelligent public spirit of the
