ing for his return several hours they
became alarmed and a search was
instituted. About sundown he was
found dead swinging from a limb
near tho house.
Just why ho should have com
mitted this rash act is a mystery

RICH, RARE AND RACY.
The Joint Discusion by the County
Candidates Friday It Was Great.
On Thursday of last week the
county campaign opened at Brushy
Mountain. We learn that several
out to hear the candidates.
Friday afternoon they spoke in
North Wilkesboro and a large crowd
was out to hear them.
The Legislative candidates opened
the ball, Pegram leading. He only
referred to his :'burning midnight
oil" to ascertain that tho railroad
bonds were invalid, and devoted the
oaiance oi nis Lime to temnir wnat
he would do with the money if the
county gained the case he offered
no promise to the people, and did
even tell them what he was, politi
cally. He was followed by J. Gor
don Hackett, who made a clear-cut
and concise talk, showing what the
Democratic party had dono for
Wilkes, and told them what it would
do if the people were only repre
sented by some man with influence.
He backed his statements with
statistics, showing conclusively that
Wilkes had received more at the
hands of the Democratic adminis
tration during the past few months
than it had ever received.
J. Q. A. Bryan followed and it is
unnecessary to go into details he
has been beforo the peoplo of Wilkes
so often that nearly all "know him
by heart." He has been elected to
the Legislature eight times and has
succeeded in getting one bill through
that of getting a woman's hog out
which was in pond. It would have
cost her thirty cents to do thTs
while the bill cost the state ot North
Carolina about $20.00. At the close
of his speech the fun began, when
L. M. Lyon took tho platform and
announced himself as an indepen
dent Republican candidate for the
Legislature and replied to Bryan.
He heaped all manner of abuse on
the "Red Fox" and pretty thorough
ly punctured his hide. He also paid
his respects to Pegram in no un
certain terras.
Chas. Soraers and Olin Mastin do
not propose to be left, and when it
came to them tho fur literally flew.
It will bo remembered that both are
candidates for the offico of Clerk
Somers tho regular nominee of the
Republican party, while Mastin is
an independent Republican. They
accused each other of all kinds of;
things and if either is guilty of one;
Iinlf nf flmm voll
Morgan Bryan is running as an
independent Republican for sheriff j
and he and Sheriff Johnson are hav
ing a pretty warm time.
Tho other candidates are
laying
at home and not taking much inter
est in the campaign, though some of
them may be heard from later.
Altogether, it is rich, rare and
racy, and you will miss a treat if
you fail to hear them be on hand
when they strike your neighbor
hood. Moravian Falls.
