I am writing front the <wirw uon
rtrongbeld, thetfth district and the
- county of Kerayth. Seme o* the elaima
that are being made by the Uovemo r
and hla friends are rldieaieus enough
to aiaka a horse laugh if it was poeei

The Governor and hla friends are Ilka
the littlo boy going through the grave
yard. They are making all the noiae
they can trying to ecare the Simmons
goblins away. The goblins are juat aa
sure to get them the 6th 'day of Novem
ber as anything can be.
There never has been a eonteat con
ducted in North Carolina that hea
created more individual interact than
the aenatorship. The wiamiai of Sen
ator Simmeas have given eurreney to
more costemptibie, aaean insinuations
. and reports than ever before and moat
I of them came by the grape vine route.

and they are like aaeeqoitoe. No man

euppertets have them down pat.
If the old aayiag "a lie travels twice
aa bat aa the truth" ie correct, the
truth baa got to do aome tall running to
keep in hollering distance of aome of
the palpable falaehoede that are travel
ing around the atate about Senator
Simmons. I haye heard that Senator
Simmons had a million dollara to apend
, in the campaign and that Mr. Watte
and Mr. Bogota are la Kalelgh handing
It oat to those who ean ton the triek.
The writer haa been a frequent visitor
to the Simmoaa headquarters for aotoe
time and their ate Haa elgna of a mil

ever saw, ia fact I su sue Mr. Rogers
would be delighted to sell nfl of his ef
floe equipment for $500 and threw hs
his typewriters. -4 m?aely mention the
above to give mj readers aa idea of
the extreme methods that are being
used to prejudice the vatera against the
Senatar. Of coarse nothing but foola
will believe such aeporta and the only
effect they hare fa to "alia the Govern
