A DOL EFUL SENTENCE
BIaCkburn's Buttons tell a
Troublesome Tale.
Hurried Trip From Allegheny to Washington,
Another by Light of Moon Over Valleys
and Peaks.
HE does things for us

He does things for us
The above five words constitute one of
the inscriptions on the big and preten-
tious campaign buttons worn by the
heelers of Congressman Spencer Black
burn, of the Eighth District. He does
things for us" is just now said to be
rather a troublesome sentence, and when
uttered anywhere in the Eighth district
it throws more or less construction into
the ranks of the Blackburnites. One of
the things that the Congressman sue
ceeds IN doing, according to his own cam
paign declarations, was to largely in
crease the emolumentS of some fifty or
more Republican pOstmasters in his Sec
ton. The Congressman up to a week or
so ago, in his campaign speeches, dwelt
eloquently, vigorously and gloriously
upon the fact that he had brought much
additional postmasters emolument into
that section of the State, but in an evil
hour for the Congressman and his fol-
lowers a postoffice inspector passed
along over the mountain country on
tour of inspection. He some how or
other came across some Irregularities in
the shape of doctered postoftice reports
The matter came up at the last session
of the Federal Court at Greensboro A
bill of indictment was found against
Young Republican reliable, whose name
was Bryan, a nephew, it is said, OF the
old Republican Red Fox of Wilkes, and
the son or nephew of one of the Repub-
lfcan deputy marshals of the eastern dis
trict 1t seems that young Bryan had
been doing things" He had, so the
investigation revealed, been doctoring
the reports of the postmaster, thereby
increasing the pay and sharing in the
extra spells, a bond in the sum of one
thousand was fixed, but Bryan skipped
bv the light of the moon" Bryan lived
in Allegheny county. The postmaster
denied any knowledge of the crooked
work and claimed that reports made out
by them and furnished to Bryan We're
correct and must have been doctored
afterwards.
1t was said that Congressman Black
burn. who had been campaigning in Allie
ghany last week. was in Greensboro
Saturday night. where he took the fast
est train for Washington.
1t is said, too, that he has stopped
Dragging in his speeches of the enormous
additional emoluments that he had Sc
cured for postmasters of his district,
and that the big buttons containing the
inscription, "He does things for us are
not at all in demand in the mountain
country, but the postmasters are yearn-
ing for a button with the inscription HE

A. AND NJ. DEFEATED
ST, ALBANS.
Score Was 5 to @. Demon
stralion When News
Was Received.

Conflicting accounts were received last
night as to the victory of the A. and NJ
boys over the st. Adams football team
at Roanoke.
But all agreed that A. and NJ. won.
What makes the victory peculiarly sig
nificant is the fact that this same St
Adams team played the University OF
Virginia last week, and neither side was
able to score. A. and NJ. is to play the
University of Virginia this season. Here
is the special the News and Observer re-
ceived from Roanoke last night:
Roanoke, Va, Oct 2O.--A. and NJ won
by 10 to o. st. Adams heavier, but were
outplayed. Welch, Tucker, Robertson
played good ball.
BY the Associated Press came the fol-
lowing:
Roanoke, Va, Oct. 2O.-North Carolina
Agricultural and Mechanical College foot
ball team defeated the st. Adams eleven
here today by score of to 0. in one
of the hottest contested games ever seen
on Roanoke's field. In the last half there
were many choking matches and fist
fights among the players. The police
were called to the field. After the game
the INST nights were reviewed.
A query over the wire brought out the
explanation that the ball was on the line
when time was called, and the apparent
touch down did not count.
A message from the A. and M College
gave the score IL to 0.
When the joyous news reached here last
night. there was a Zig demonstration of
delight
a number of A. and NJ boys took a big
drum and headed for town, cheering, sing
ing and rub-a-dub-du They could
be heard all over the city.
One of the first places they made for
was the Governors Mansion. Here they
stopped and sarenaded long and loud and
Justify. They called for a speech, and
they kept on calling "Aycock, Aycock,
Aycock"
Finally Mr.. sid Kennedy the night
Waterman, appeared on the balcony and
said: Governor Aycock is rot here"
But fresh young voice piped up:
Here's Aycock.'
Then the boys yelled speech, speech"
And little COnnor Aycock, the six
year-old son of the Governor. proceeded
to make his maiden speech.
He came forward and bowed. Then he
said in a clear voice:
II had a little mule. and his name was
Jack. / put him in a stable and he
jumped through a crack
Then he bowed again, and the boys
simply went wild.
The procession then took in the whole
city. cheering and serenading as they
went. 1t was a great night for the A.
and VI. Boys.

Adams said that credit of getting rid of
the debt should not be given alone to
the members of the church. but to all
congregations in the city, which had as
sisted them and persons out of the church
who had taken interest in the work. =
Mr.. w. N. Smelling spoke in behalf of
the members of the church, thanking Mi.
Adams for the noble work he had accom-
plished. Mr.. j. G. Brown, of Edenton
Street church. was present and made a
few remarks, which showed how much in
terest the sister church had taken in the
work
The officers of the church then gath
cred around the altar, frakment or the
mortgage was given to each one, and
these fragments were burned.
Sunday morning the rally day exercises
of the Sunday school were held. Tnere
was very large attendance. The pro-
gramme was a beautifully appropriate
one, consisting of music by an orchestra,
song by the school. responsive readings
and Rotations by members of the
classes.

schools in the city and has an enrolment
of $50 schools with an average attend
ance of $50. Forty-one new scholars were

ted for commissioner; Mr.. A. NJ. Adams
nominated for the Legislature and Mr. l.
L. b. Penny, nominated for the Legisla-
ture.

that he declined the nomination for sher-
lift. He says that he proposes to devote
his time to private business, and is not

Mr. Elijah Perry, named for county
commissioner, having declined, the patch
work makers have put in his place Mr..
A. c. Ray, of Baritone Creek
What other charges will be made each

the Board of County Commissions for five
