A Tip to Senator Butler,
We have been informed that Mr.
Frank Brown, member of the last
Legislature from Jones county, told
certain parties of prominence end
intelligence that Dr. Cy Thompson
secretly abetted the election of
Pritchard to the U. S. Seriate, to
the end that Pritchard; would do a
like favor for Thompson to succeed
Senator Marion Butler 'in 1900. We
get this pretty straight, and if it is
denied we will furnish proofs. Yet
Thompson pretended to be honest
and opposed to the eleotion of gold
bug Pritchard. All the big Pop,
ulists and Republican bosses in this
State are tarred with the same
stick. Kinston Free Press.
