Hamilton Barnett Suicides. Our people were both surprised and painedto learn yesterday morn that Hamilton Barnett, of Elk, town ship, had committed suicide. Sun day morning he walked out of his house and told his people he was going to a turnip patch. After wait 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 he was a consistent member of the Baptist church and had led a most exemplary life his neighbors were horrified at his last act. He was about fifty years old and leaves a wife and five children to mourn their loss. The remains will bo laid to rest today.

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.
