judge Rucker Home.

Hon. w. W. Rucker returned
from a visit to his mother and 9TH
er relatives in West Virginia, hav-
ing been with them since the ad-
journment of Congress.
The judge is looking well though
not so well as after completing his
campaign for re-nomination-the
judge really seemed to fatten on
Whitecotton's trail.
Judge Fucker is highly optimistic
concerning the outlook for the ma
tional Democracy. He says that
all over the east so far as he learn
ed, the Republicans are hopelessly
divided and the Democrats of al
ilks thoroughly harmonious.
The Judge will take the stump il
his district and make a thorough
campaign for everybody on tht
Democratic ticket from Wilson
down and also put in his best lick
against the adoption of the single
tax amendment Charlton Courie
