Returned from Cherokee county
where he spoke Saturday night, Cap
tain Robert It. Reynolds yesterday
supervised the departure of Troop
li for the Augusta encampment In
good order and then turned his un
divided attention to his congressional
campaign. He remarked that he had
taken off his cbat, rolled up his
sleeves and expected to smash rec
ords for strenuous campaigning be
tween now and the primary on the
fifteenth. (
"I shall spend 'this week in the
counties adjoining Buncombe," said
he, "and the next week In Ruther
ford and Polk. Was delighted at the
big audience the people of Cherokee
gave me at Peachtree where 1 spoke
Saturday night and the assurances
from them of the large majority
Cherokee would give me. Tonight I
speak at Haw Creek school house. I
met many people while on the train
on my hurried trip to Peachtree and
every one had a kind word and confident-
assurance that the western
counties were solidly for me."
"I need not say," continued Capt
Reynolds, "(hat X appreciate this sup
port more than words can express
and all I can say Is that I will do my
best to deserve the confidence of
these people and seek in my poor
way to serve them to my utmost.
Every reason points to a heavy gain
for me in these counties. It will be
remembered that In the May primar
ies Macon and Jackson both had fav
orite sons in the race In Mr. Harrison
and Mr. Moore and these gentlemen
received a heavy vote which It la ad
mltted would have ' come to me if
they had not been candidates, and the
seme may be said of the vote which
was cast for Judge Merrlmon.
