RALEIGH NJ c., June 14.--An inter
esting story comes from Wilson con-
corning an old Virginia negro, Charles
Barnes. who Is more than seyenty-fiye
years old. In slavery times he was
owned by Mr.. Riddick,. in Southampton,
Va, and was sold to Edwin Barnes, Of
Wilson. in 1S45. The old negro met
travelling man from Southampton a rev
weeks a go, and during tho conversation
remarked that when hefWas sold from
that place in 1915 he left little brother,
Louis Riddlck. OF whom he had never,
heard since, Its eveloped that the tray
cling man knew Louis Riddick well. he
being practicing physician who had
accumulated considerable property. The
old negro wrote to his brother. who came
to Wilson few days ago. and the two
brothers met again after flfty-nlne years.
The doctor settled an allowance on the
old man that will support him the re-
lmainder Of his life. s
CONTRADICTORY ESTIMATES.
John G. Drewry who is quite active in
the campaign for Charles NJ Stedmnn
for the Democratic nom ination for Gov
ernor,S has made careful estimate on
tho returns from the eighty-five coun-s
ties that have expressed their preference
for Governor and finds that Stednaan
has 465 votes; r. B. Glenn. 462; W. D.
Turner 119, and Theo. Davidson lo9
This Is total OF 1,145 votes out Of the
1.243 in the State Convention. The twelve
counties that have not yet held prima-
ries have ninety-eight votes In the con
ventton.
AS sort of contradiction for the esti-
mate made by Mr.. Drewry, George P.
Pell of Winston, issues q statement IN
the interest OF r. B, Glenn to the effect
that Of eighty-two counties heards from
Glenn will get 522 votes In the State Con-
vention, and stedman 3S7. He says
friends OF the other candidates-'Turnef
and payidson-need not expect Stedman
and Glenn to get into O. row; that they
ara good friends ana each has respec,
for the other and no dark horse need
hone to profit by fight between them.
