STRONG IN CHARLOTTE.

STRONG IN CHARLOTTE
A gentleman of wide acquaintance III
Charlotte county, who was here yester-
day. said that county would give MIR.
Glass a rousng majority if there should
be no local candidate for the homer. He
said this was one thing the two factions
there would unite on. Mr.. Eggleston
Secretary of the Commonwealth, will be
for Mr. Glass if Charlotte has no caRdi-
date. as now seems certain, as will Mr..
II. C. Rice member of the House Of Dele
gates: Messrs. Lee w. Morton and e. r.
Monroe. prominent party managers; w.
C. Darlington, T. S. Jennings and others.
Mr. Glass stated to friends here yes
terdav that his assurances of support
from the western end Of the district were
especially gratifying, as there had been
some talk and effort to form a combina-
ton up there. On this point very prom'-
nent citizen Of Roanoke said at Mur-
phys last night that he had no idea the
Democrats of the western end Of the dis
trict would tolerate any sectional fight.
and that he believed the candidate who
should propose it would do himself more
harm than good.
ARE HAPPY AND ACTIVE
Senator Glass friends are jubilant over
his final determination to stand for Con-
gress, and are already at work for MN
from one end of the district to the other.

looked upon as his most formidable oppo-
nent 1t is expected that there will be
a rousing stump canvass of the entire dis
trict, though it is thought that much OF
the speaking for Mr.. Glass will be done
by his friends
Colonel a. NJ. Bowman, of Salem;
Senator Edward Lyle, of Roanoke city;
DR.. A S. Priddy and Judge Boylan Green,
of Charlotte. and Judge George q. Cas-
sell, of Radford have all been mentioned,
but since the withdrawal of Senator
Barksdale the only avowed candidates
are Senators Glass and Clayton and Colo
mel w. w Berkeley, Of Roanoke county.
From what can be learned other with
drawals and destinations would cause no
general surprise, and in the hnal heat
there may be but two CT three asprants.
In other districts, where there are con-
tests. all hands are active. Mr.. LaWless

GLASS is
OUT FOR CONGRESS

The Halifax Senator Withdraws and Will
Earnestly Support His Lynch

Clayton and Berkeley.
MR., BARKsDALE WILL NOT RUN

There were some very interesting de-
yelopmcnts in the Sixth District fight
To- Congress yesterday. One OF them was
the positive announcement or the cahoh-
dacy Of Senator Carter Glass, OIL eLynch-
burg. to succeed the late Major +. ).
O1ey. and the withdrawal Of Senator w.
?. Barksdale of Halifax, and the an
NOT ncement that he would give MI Glass
his earnest and active support
Unless there shall be some startling re-
ve.sais Of sentiment between now ana
the date of the primary, the TRENDS Oh
the Lynchburg Senator WILL in the 1udg-
nent Of his friends and supporters, win
the race for both the long and short
term. The special election will likely be
held on the regular election day IN NO
yen,ber, and both nominations Will take
riace on July 26th. The candidates nave
until May 9th to enter. So far Chair
man Eggleston has received no formal
announcements
Mr.. GLASS COMES OUT.
Mr.. Glass came to his decision to be-
come candidate yesterday, after con-
ferring with friends here and after re-
ceiving a number Of kilograms and let
ters from various parts Of the Sixth Dis
trict.
Perhaps the most significant Of these
vas letter from Senator w. +. Barks-
dale, of Halifax, telling Mr.. Glass that
he had determined not to be canulottle
and authorizing the public announcement
that he would support the Lyncnpurg
Senator for the honor. Senator Barks-
dale assured Senator Glass tirat he would
take the stump for him in that county,
and told him that he would have prac-
tically solid vote at the primary election
in Halifax.
A letter received here from MI. John
f. Edmunds, chairman Of the party In
Halifax, states that Senator Glass will
sweep that county as surely as the prl-
r;ary takes place. He says the with
drawal of Mr.. Barksdaie and his avowed
purpose to aid his Lynchburg colleague
insures the latter enthusiastic support.
Erem another source comes a veriflca-
ton of this view Of Mr.. Glass strength
in Halifax. A well known lawyer OF
Richmond yesterday received letter
from a prominent bank officer of South
Rcston, who has large influence In the
county, saying he had within the last
few days gagged public sentiment among
rcy resentative meI. and was quite sure
Halifax would be for Glass overwheln-

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on trade last
week says: Weather developments
have been largely favorable and. cou-
pied with the great ease Of money
makes an optimistic feeling in trade
and speculation. The future seems
more and more. secure, but the imme-
date present does not in all instances
present so satisfactory an appearance
Warmer weather has continued to help
retail distribution but has not in all
cases made up for the disadvantages
caused by the heretofore backward sea-
sons. With few exceptions summer re-
sort business has not equaled expecta-
tons. Railway earnings are really fat
tering. June returns on nearly 1000, 900
miles of road showing an aggregate
gain of per cent on this year. In the
matter of actual business improvement
is noted the demand for finished pro-
ducts Of iron and steel; and lumber
seems to be recovering from the tenn
porary depression noted at the begin
ming of July.
Iron and steel trade conditions are
surprisingly good but no more so than
the manufacturers themselves, who at
the middle of July find the output for
the last half year practically booked.
Wheat Gncluding -FOUR exports for
the week ended July II aggregate g.
755,222 bushels, against 4.404.115 last
week, and 5.225.820 in this week last
year. Wheat exports since July ag-
gregate 9,7S4,337 bushels, against H..
763, 121 last season. Business failures
in the United States for the week end
ed July II number TIA. as against 1876
last week, 208 in this week last year.
Failures in Canada number II.

Damage is also caused on the Him

hopes are entertained that they may
possibly hold.
The greatest damage Is on the Mis-

covering 300 square miles, and on
which the corn was estimated at so
bushels per acre four days ago. Hun.
dreds OF farmers are tenants who lost
crops by last years drouth In the up

Reports today are that in the terri

100000, chiefly in corn, in splendid
condition previous to the food.
The damage done up the Mississippi
is greater than expected or at first re-
ported. One township in this county.

Farmers families were driven out
