It is stated that Mr.. Bowden mas re-
Gently had an understanding with A''a a..
II. Martin county clerk at Norio1h,
which their differences have been setlieo,
hut outside of this Mr.. BoWden mas not

THE FIGHT ON GENERAL ALLAN.
The fight on General Allen for Cr;iteo
States attorney is taking on serious
fractional turn, and If General Allan is
defeated for the place it will not be until
hot fight has been made on the BOW
,7en element Rank ingratitude is charE-
ed against the Bowden ring In IT'S treat,
ment of General Allan. 1t is alleged tnat
when the two delegates In the fhl1aoei>
phia Republican National conventions
years ago, were threatened by contestihs
| delegates Of the Wise faction, the BOW
de,.jtes made a strcng appeal to General
Allan to save them brom defeat Ihey
sent for him to Atlantic City, where ne
was sick In bed, and against the adFlce
of his physicians he went to Philadelphia
and saved the day for the Rowdenites
| President Roosevelt is to be Informed
| that the fight on General Allan dates from
the race made by the district attorney
! against Congressman Lamb, OF fSlcn-
mopd The charge is made that the
Bowden faction had nothing against Cen
eral Allan until he opposed their wishes
| and made the race against MI. Lamp the
| organization Republicans not desiring to
| have a man in the field in that district.
| 1t is said that Judge Wadd1ll issued IN
| :;tructions that he didn't want opposition
to Mr.. Lamb, and that despite his wishes
! General Allan made the race. In this
| case, as in all others, the Virginia lead
! ers will be charged with not desiring Cen
| eral Allan or anyone else to secure any
!,ostion that would 6etract from their
own leadership.
AS to Hugh Gordon Miller's candidacy
for United States Attorney, the informa-
tin here is that Mr.. Miller is positively
not a candidate against. his chief,
General Allan, but he is cand1-
date if it is seen that General Allan can
not be appointed. In other Words the
Bowden faction has centered all its
strength for United States Attorney on ex~
| CongressmanR. T. Thorpe, u. Lawrence
Groner having withdrawn, while the OPP
! position faction is to have two candl-
| dates, one as a substitute for the other,
| in case the first man has no show for the
place The anti-Bowden faction declares
| that Mr.. Miller is stronger in Washington
than Thorpe, having defeated the latter
| in the race for Assistant United States
| Attorney of the Eastern District.
SOMEWHAT OF A JUMBLE.
| All in all, there is q. promise OF red
/ hot outbreak Of the old factiona dlfter-
! ences in Virginia, and the DETERMINATION
of one or the other of the factions II
the anti-Bowden element dominates q
man for Congress they are going to
1 charge to the President that the BoWden
people have made no effort to secure
| proper registration of the negro vote. 1t
is claimed that in Nansemond county the
Bowdenites made no honest effort TO
get out the negro vote, and that. as con-
sequence only about is per cent.
of that vote Is on the books. 1t is turther
charged that the Bowdenites have turned
away from the negro anyway, and really
do not want to have him registered. They
want to cut away from him for good.
| Whether this argument will help the
Wise people in the face of the President s
/ desire for a white party in the South is
not counted upon
| pOST-OFFICES AND PERSONALS.

bemarle county, has been chanseu' .i'e
