A FEW MORE PATRIOTS.
Many Democrats After Holton's and
Seawell's Jobs.

The Raleigh correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer has sent his paper
pie" story as follows:
Talk among members of the State
Democratic Executive Committee,
who were here for the meeting to
canvass the vote in the Senatorial
primary, brings to light a number of
reported aspirants for the two posi-
tiOns of United States District Attor-
ney in this State. For the western

held for twelve years By E. A. Holton,
OF Winston-Salem; w. E. Moore, of
Jackson County, former Lieutenant
Governor, is an avowed candidate,
and indications that W. c. Hammer,
Of AshebOro, for many years solicitor
of his district, and Charles A. Webb,
Chairman of the State Democratic
Executive Committee, are also being
spoken of in way that indicates
that they will be formidable POSSIBLE
tiles for the appointment.
