Shifting Wilkes Into the

There are some thing which
happen "in the course of human
v vents,"' that call for much talk;
other things' seemingly less pre
tentious, ar sometimes facetious
ly declared to demand ' 'more
talk." But there is one thing of
rather recent occurance which
cannot properly be put in either
of these classes, for very little
has been said about it. We have
reference to the gerrymander
which lifted Wilkes county out of
the Eighth congressional district
and set it down, with bag and
baggage and its assured 1500
Republican majority, into the!

that it will surely be delightfuly

found that a change of 120 votes
would make the Eight district
Republican and a change of 579
in the Seventh district would put
it in the same class ; provided,
always, of course, the Republi
cans can be accorded anything
like a square deal, a presumption,
howeve, more possible than prob
able. Taking the presidential
vote in the Eighth, as we have in
the Seventh, it is now already
Republican by a majority of 301.
Before any gerrymandering was
done, the Eighth district contain
ed a population of 220,000,
its right proportion. The Sev
enth district had 224,000 people.
Shifting Wilkes, with its 30,000
people, gives the Seventh a pop
ulation of 254,000, while the
Eighth drops back to less than
190,000. The law contemplates
that the various districts shall
be equal; but these figures show
how carefully the opposition
cares to carry out that provision.
The Republicans of either dis
trict need not feel discouraged
at the shift, for the Democrats
will have no walkover, two years
from now; and the Bobbies
Fage and Doughton will not
slide into Congress on political
sleds equipped with greased
runners. Wilkes Patriot.

The exceeding large number
of prisoners.stored in the jails
over the district mean a large
number of courts to be held in
Asheville, Stateville, Wilkesboro,
Charlotte and Greensboro, and
mean that many of the terms will
be long, considering the fact that
many more arrests will probably
be made during the spring.
Greensboro and Wilkesboro will
probably witness courts of the
longest terms, as most of the
