RESULT QT SURPRISING.
Soma emphasis is laid on the
, fact tht. the decision of the
quei ; " on in favor of Wake Forest
-oy :- i riaity in the public debate
in Raleigh on Thanksgiving
Day, was purely on the merits of
the debate and not on the merits
f the question. Debates often
-get their force from the topic de
bated. All things else being
equal, 15 is not surprising that
Wake Forest should win on the
"Re
negative of the query:
solved, that United States Sen
lU should be elected by direct
'vote of the people."
It jseems that the government
may yet come into -possession of
all the facts connected with the
V Ml
blow tig up of the Maine. It ' is
regarded as a fact that 4 cases of
gun cotton were shipped from
Spain each containing 350 pounds
and that two of them got out of
the magazine at Havana and
were used to destroy the , Maine.
As we did not spank Spain for
this crime, of which positive
proof of guilt was lacking, .why
-should not some body be roasted
for it vet?
"Miss Annie Louise, only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo,
W Watts of Durham was wedded
to Mir. John Sprunt Hill, of New
York, on .Wednesday, night, the
29th at the home of the bride's
p:ents in Durham; : The Sun in
nearly three columns gives
beautiiul account of the brilliant
: affair. " We doubt not the Sun's
excellent write up was properly
-appreciated. V - '
ss will' convene Mon-;
-S;.y and will , doubtless; adjourn
ouc oi respect to tne, vice JtorsH
- dent. It is said that President
McKinley will avail himself of
that one day to delay his m es
;sa.ge, hoping for a drop in Phil
ippine affairs, perhaps even the
capture of Aguinaldo. Burthen
the "vatched pot never boils. -
Since .the Supreme court
turned down Mr. Bedenfield and
".-set up. Dr; Abbott there's no
Taaiov?ing where cwe'ret. The
"tors are let down so low that S

- are preparing 'to jump back in. r
v It is said that' the apple crop
- of four counties in Virginia this

.left enough at home for pies and
for, every kid to take his pockets
full to school every day. ;

The Shelby . Aurora contains
the following very gratifying
item:
'It is very gratifying to note
the spirit of unity and cordial co
operatio'nthat is growing be
tween all classes, and especially
between the country- and town;
It is absolutely necessary for the
progress and growth of our com
mon country that the town anil
country must get tigetlier The
press, banks and ' merchants and
even . manufacturers recently
united their efforts to prevent the
f aCrmet's being iBctimized iri'i the
sale of their present crop.' While
the interest of the town and
country is not identical, it is mu
tual and interdependent; Let
peace, harmony, co-operation
and mutual helpfulness prevail;"

Criticism of Judge Rchinson.
From some attorneys and
other citizens we learn facts
which makes it'miJd to say. that
Judge Robinson is wholly unfit
for the position he holds. His
unjudicial temper, his low and
common, plain wit, his unjust
and prejudiced fiings at others,
his assuming the role of attorney
for one and against another, as
his prejudices dictate, are such
as to wholly disqualify him as a
judge, r ;
His action here, as far as mis
demeanors were concerned, was
the same as it was last August,
when he encouraged crime by
suspending judgment or fining
a penny upon payment of costs,
