North Carolina Republicans Depend on
Democratic Dissension.

sTONEV1LLE, N. c., May 2O.-A meet
ing Of the creditors of Pegram and Penn,

The recent rains have enabled farmers
to plant tobacco, but much complaint is
made of the cut-worm. A large crop,
it is now evident, will be planted In this
section.
a prominent Republican told me to-
day that no candidate of his party would
likely be put in .ne field in Rocking
ham county, as so many of their fol-
lowers are disfranchised by the con-
stitutional amendment and so many neg
lected to pay pol-tax. They will rely
upon dissension In the ranks of the De-
mocracy to put UP an Independent Demo-
crat. This is likely to be the policy of
the Republicans in many counties.
The effort made to prevent the nomina-
ton of Judge Walter Clark for Supreme
Court Justice has had the opposite eff
feet from that intended. It seems to
have cemented the friends of Judge
Clark, and others, who were Indifferent,
have now warmly espoused his cause
