early start, so that June 1 the plant averaged

presents striking contrast in having secured

start may be called a good one, ranking June /

Confessing his Guilt.
C~NIorganton Herald.}

Lackey, the man who was convicted Of
stealing a mule at Bridgewater a year CT
50 ago and was sentenced to four years
in the penitentiary, but who took an
appeal to the Supreme court and is still
in Jail here awaiting the decision of that
court, now has more trouble before him.
A post office inspector visited Lackey in
the Jail this morning and after close
questioning got from him a confession
that he is guilty of breaking into and
robbing various postoffces. It seems
that the Federal authorities have been
after Lackey for four or five years, trac-
ing him through sections of the West,
but failed to run across him until to-
day. When the State authorities get
through with Lackey he will be handed
over to the Federal authorities to re-
ceive the penalty for the post office

Mr. Waller is out of town. and your
correspondent could not get an inter-
view with him in regard to the case.
1t is said that money is TO be used
freely in this county to carry it for the
Republican ticket. AS much as $500 is
to be spent in Burlington township, and
no one knows the amount to be spent in
the county. They are making a des-
peratc effort to carry the county, and If
money will 90 it, they have plenty Of il.
The estimated Democratic majority is
between 500 and 600 in this county. and
the Republicans hope to get three hun
dred of this six hundred, and by this
means win out. The negro registration
IN the county is small, and there is no
hopes for the Republicans to carry this
county unless they do buy it. Every at
