Wrinkles
Around the Eyes
Are usually caused by defec
tive sight. Many women, and
likewise men, look prematurely
old from these wrinkles. The
wrinkles in many cases can be
removed by wearing correctly
fitted glasses. To fit glasses cor
rectly demands a thorough know
ledge of refraction and the nec
essary instruments. We have
both; hundreds of satisfied cus
tomers will say so.

Briefly Told.
Telegram Bureau.
High Point, N. C. Nov. 1
Claude Barbee, of the First regi
ment, who has been spending a sick
furlough at home and who was going
back to camp today, received a wire
from headquarters at Washington that
his furlough has been extended thirty
days. Of course he will shed no tears
over this.
Our Second regiment boys who are
spending furloughs at home have re
ceived a notice from Capt. Gray to
report at Greensboro on the 10th inst
to be mustered out.
The county candidates did not have
a very good hearing here yesterday
The crowd was in an uproar nrost all
of the time. After some of the first
ones had announced themselves as can
didates, G. Sam Bradshaw and John
J. Wilson, candidates for the senate,
opened up the fire works. The attend
ance got down to 50 when Mr. Doug
las spoke, and only in one instance
and by only one person wa9 he ap
plauded. They are all glad that they
will get through campaigning today
They make their last speechee at James
town this afternoon.
We were exceedingly glad to see
some of the ladies in the front seats
last night at the opera house reu.ove
their head eear and trust that next
time all ladies wearing large hats will
do likewise.
uaniel Darleign's exceedingly en
tertaining play. "Back on the Farm,"
was rendered here last night to a large
and appreciative audience. The play
though simple in its plot Is full of
merriment from beginning to end.
Mr. Darleigh as "Si Stebbins," Mr
Jackson the "acrobat" and Miss Ad
dison the "contVolto singer" were ex
ceedingly clever The war views and
singing of Mr. Lynn were splendid.
Three young men from Salisbury,
two of whom are of exceedingly good
families, and one of whom is a profes
sional ho-bo, were beating their way
through here on No. 36 when they
were ditched. They were immediately
arrested for being drunk and disord
erly arouna uie aepot. iney were
fined $7.50 which they could not pay,
and were sent to the county roads to
wont it out.
Ladies you will have a chance next
Monday night to see something you
have never seen before. The white
j .
aemocrats or tnis townsnip are going
to parade the streets with two cornet
bands, flags and lanterns. In the
Anchor Warehouse Charles M. Stead-
man, of Greensboro, and Hon. C. B.
Aatson, of Winston, two of North
Carolina's most able speakers, will
address the white people, and in the
Opera House Col. James E. Boyd, as
sistant attorney general will address
another crowd. Which will you do,
wnite people, will you follow in the
procession of white people, who are in
favor of white supremacy, or will you
follow the republicans and negroes,
the most of whom say by their actions
tnat thev are in favor of npcrrn mlos
High Point and Archdale are well

"Old bpence Adams" came up last
night from Greensboro and went out
to Poor's Schoolhouse, where he ad
dressed some voters. We noticed him
coming in about the time the moon be
gan to shine. Mr. Aycock, in his
Greensboro speech, was about right
about the moon.
Ed. Ragan witnessed "Back on the
Farm" last night. Some one said that
possibly "Ed" was thinking about go
ing "back on the farm."
The new dining room at Jarrell's
Hotel has been completed. Tt ia a

N. C, SITUATION CRITICAL.
So Regarded at Headquarters In
Washington
WHITE WILL BE DEFEATED.'
President and Cabinet Will Qo Home
to Vote Prominent i Railroad
Men In Washington.
Special to Thi Telegram.
Washington, D. C , November 3.
All of the members of the Cabinet
will follow the example of President
McKinley, and will go home to cast
their ballots in the election next week.
Most of the members of the Cabinet
will leave the city the latter part of
the week. Postmaster General Smith
leaves today for West Virginia where
he will address a political meeting to
night, and Saturday night he will
speak at Cincinnati, after which he
will go at once to Philadelphia. Sec
retary Alger will vote in $he Michigan
election, Secretary Long in Massachu
setts, Secretary Bliss in New York
State, Attorney General Griggs in
New Jersey, and Secretary Wilson, in
Iowa.
Indications point to a large exodus
of government clerks. Already sev
eral have left the city for the more dis
tant states, but the larger .number wil
leave here about Friday or Saturday
The heads of the Executive depart
ments have granted the privilege to
all voters in the departments, who are
under the protection of the Civil Ser
vice laws to exercise their rights of
citizenship, irrespective of their party
affiliations.
At b9th of the congressional head
quarters it is said that the number of
clerks to be sent home will be larger
than usual. Naturally the re - ubli
cans are doin&r the most work in this
line, as the efforts of the democrats
have been mostly directed to those who
are outside of the departments.
The work of both political headquar
ters is practically closed, thatfis so far
as the distributing of political docu
ments is concerned, but they will re
main open until Monday night.
Chairman Babcock, of the republi
can committee, is still in Washington.
He said to-night that he would leave
Washington for his home in Wiscon
sin Saturday or Sunday.
The North Carolina situation is still
regarded as critical among the lead
ers at both headquarters. The Demo
cratic Congressional Committee has
kept in close touch with the local cam
paign committees, and is kept fully ad
vised as to the situation and prospects.
At the headquarters it was stated that
all indications point to democratic
success in the Stete. It is now believed
that the legislature will be safely dem
ocratic in both branches, and that a
majority of the congressmen will bel
democrats.
Much interest is felt in Washington
in the result in the Second North Car
olina district, where Congressman
White, the negro representative is a
candidate for re-election. A nromi-
nent North Carolina gentleman, said
yesterday, that from his own observa
tions he believed that he would be de
feated. A large number of railroad men are
in the city pursuant to the invitation
of the quartermaster general. Among
the prominent officials are A. B. An
drews, of North Carolina, J. R. Ken-
ly, of North Carolina, J. M. Barr,
Roanoke, J. R. Parratt, Jacksonville,
J. P. Beckwith. Jacksonville, and D.
J. Anderson, of Norfolk.
The railway mail clerks of the third
division, comprising the states of
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
North Carolina and the District of
Columbia, have effected a permanent
organization to co-operate with the
National Association, and to ask Con
gress to provide for a reclassification
of the service, and to prescribe sala
ries of employes. It is said there has
not been any legislation by congress
in regard to the railway mail service
since the year 1882. The clerks have
elected Mr. John H. Grav. of North
Carolina, president, and Mr. I. Da
vidson, of this city, secretary and
treasurer. The vice-presidents will be
elected by the clerks in their respect
ive states, who will have the power to
call meetings in the cities of Washing
ton, Baltimore, Hagerstown, Grafton,
Martinsburg, Richmond, Lynchburg,
Greensboro, and Wilmington.
S. H. Wade, of Rockbridge county,
Virginia, was in the city yesterday
with his wife. Mr. Wade savs that
the contest in the Tenth districtjof the
state is a very close one, though there
has not been much excitement. He
says that the vote next Tuesday in the
district will, in his opinion, be one of
the closest in the state. Both parties
claim the district by a small majority

Hels still of the- opinion that the dem

gressional distritJts.
Senator Danied, of Virginia, will
speak throughout the entire week In
General Walker's district.
A distinguished party of Lexington,
Kentucky, visitors were in the city yes
terday for the purposer-of getting the
president to stop over on his way to
Canton, or else on his return. The
president will probably accept the in
vitation. Mr. and Mrs. Rowland Leigh, whose
wedding was a social event of the week
at Savannah, are in Washington as
the guests of Judge and Mrs. R. Wayne
Parker. They will remain here a few
days, after which they will visit New
York and Boston.
Mr. J. R. Smedley, of North Caro
lina, is in the city. He says that the
people of the state are determined to
down, the negro party, and that the fu
ture prosperity of the state depends
upon the results next week. In case
the legislature is democratic, Mr.
Smedley is of the opinion that an elec
tion law will be framed similar to that
in operation in South Carolina.

A SAMPLE
Of the Work Being Donr by the Fu
slonl8ts of Qullford County.
Mr. Charles' G. Sherwood, a white
man of this city, who runs a store on
toe, corner of McCulloch ajad South
LEIm streets, called at the Telegram
office this morning and handed us the
following letter which he received yes
kjerday :
HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN EXEC. COMMITTEE
OF GUILFORD COUNTY.
Greensboro, N. C, Nov. 1, '98.
Mr. Charley Sherwood :
Dear Sir Will you call at the head
quarters and see me, or see W. E.
Holley, as we want you to go out to
Ben Phillips' and work on election
day. Holley says he will send you
out. ResDactfullv.
G. Will Annfield.
Mr. Sherwood has been a republican
all his life, bnt says that in the present
fight he can not stand the mongrel
crew who are in power, and will vote
the democratic ticket. He says he is
wonting lor wnie supremacy every
1i .
day, and will close his place of busi
ness on election day and go in for all
he is worth.
W. E. Holley is a negro politician
one of the "bosses" alone with G.
Will Armfield, and Mr. Sherwood was
justly incensed at being referred to
such a source for. instructions.
Pickpocket at the Fair.
Mr. J. E. Hennessee, of Salisbury,
was "touched" for 60at the Winston
fair yesterday. Mr. J. Van Lindley
was also relieved of a small amount of
cash, But the strangest of all was
that one of our youne attorneys wae
about to be relieved of a pair of brass
knucks, when he caught his "friend's"
hand in his pocket. The thief was a
clever looking old duck, and made
apologies when caught, but, with all
his apologies the lawyer would have
smashed the old guy's face, had his
wife not caught his hand.
Greensboro Defeated.
Oak Ridge Defeated Greensboro
yesterday in a game of foot-ball at
Winston, by a score of 15 to 5. Oak

while Greensboro had the weight, the
superior training of the Ridge team
won the game. Bennett, their full
back, is a team in himself. For
Greensboro Billy Devin played the
game.

A LIVELY FIGHT
Between a Storekeeper and a Would-
Be Debtor.
A railroad man stepped into the
store of I. Isaacson yesterday after
noon to buy some goods on "tick,"
and when the Hebrew told him "ve
don't sell gudes dot vay," he thought
his honor had been questioned. Now,
this railroad man knew himself to be a
man of unquestionable honor and the
longer he thought over the proprietor's
words the madder he got. Finally his
wrath overcame him and he went for
the proprietor's collar." Immediately
the fur began to fly, and the combat
ants went around like a top. A by
stander looked on for about ten min
utes and thought it about time for hos
tilities to cease, but there was no sign
of stopping, and he went to summon a
policeman. He found one and hurried
back to the scene of action to find
things as lively as ever. The police
man gave orders to cease firing and
stack arms. The fight had been in
progress about twenty minutes when
the order w,s obeyed, and both com
batants. were blowing like wind-broken
horses. After allowing them a few
minutes to blow and cool off the officer
summoned them to the mayor's court
this afternoon.
THREE COONS BROUGHT TO GRIEF
Tried to Rule a White Boy, But Ne
Negro Rule Is Short.
xms morning three little coons
boarded the wagon of a young white
boy who had just come to town and
took possession. The white bOy was
overpowered and submitted to their
insults as best he could while they
plnndered and played and had a big
time generally as they all rode along
out tne omciai career 01 these coons
was short, for they did not rule the
white boy long. The Asheboro street
policeman took a hand, and with the
aid of a deputy, towed the boys to the
mayor's court, where they were tried
by Mayor Sergeant, pro tem., and the
mayor showed no mercy. He fined the
boys $4.30 each, to be paid or worked
ous on ine streets, in tne latter case
they will not be free for several weeks
And the coons wept as the jailer turned
th3 key to the lock-up.
