THE TOURNEY.
BY DON MARQUIS.

The victor comes with lowly bow
The garland on his lance;
She binds the wreath upon her brow,
She thanks him with her glance.
She is the Journeys queen. and well
She plays the queenly role.
Nor look nor changing color tell
The wounds that pierce her soul.
Erect and proud her stately head
She smiles-for smile she must;
Her heart is prone where Guy lies dead
Low in the bloody dust.

JUDGE RHEA'S SUCCESSOR.
Colonel SIcmp Once Ran for Licutcn-
ant-Govcrnor of the State.

Colonel Campbell Semp, the Successor
to Congressman William z Rhea Of the
Ninth District. and who is the only Repub-
lican member from this state, has long
been prominent in his section and in the
councils of the Republican party. He will
be rememered as the unsuccessful Re-
publican candidate for Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor on the Malone ticket in 1882 the
entire ticket, consisting Of General Will
liam Malone. Colonel Slcmp, and Cap
tain Warren S. Lurty, of Rockingham.
The defeat of Mr.. Rhea is attributable
chiefly to factional divisions among the
Democrats Of the district These have
cropped out from time to time, notably
in the General Assembly at the last reg
ular session in the selection of the cleo
toral boards for Scott and other counties
of the southwest. On the other hand the
Republicans were united. and won tc
their standard many former Democrats
who resented the action of the Consti-
tutional Convention in proclaiming the
Constitution. Many white Democrats. as
we'll as Republicans We're disfranchised
in the recent registration, and others OPP
posed to proclamation of the Constitution
We're apathetic, if they did not openly
oppose the Democratic nominee.
Colonel Slemp by reason of his position,
will have considerable influence with the
administration and in the dispensation of
Federal patronage not only in his dis
trict but in the State at large.

her suitably buried if she should die ana
not leave the means for that purpose

upon, according to her testimony, the
agent pulled out s160 and said he would
lend her the money ana take mortgage
on her household and kitchen furniture
She declined to give the mortgage. saying
that it was bought on the instalment plan
and hence already mortgaged. Later, she
says, her furniture was called tor
hauled away and sold on the strength OF
a mortgage which bore what appeared to
be, her signature but which she vows
she never made. 1t was in signing her
name to this mortgage that she claims
the defendant committed forgery. JUS
tfce Wolfe sent the case on the the Su-
perior Court.

He Was One of Wilmington's Best
IS Known Citizens.

WILMINGTON, N c.. November G.
(Special.)-Captain v. V. Richardson, a
well-known citizen of Whitehall, N. c.,
died suddenly at A. M. to-day. He was
three or four times sheriff of Columbus
and was one of the most influential men
in his county. He was several times in
the Legislature and once came within
a few votes of being chosen speaker of
the House. In 1874, without being a can
didate, he made close run for Con-
gressional honors. He was 63 years of
age. and leaves a wife and six children.
Only yesterday Captain Richardson
was on the streets of his town in a
rolling chair, rejoicing at the election
returns, and it i is thought the excite
ment thereto brought on recurrence
of heart trouble, of which he died.
