KIT CHIN AND WHITAKER
Head Oat of the Populist Party by the
Caucasian.
The Caucasian reads Capt. Buck
Kitchen and Ex-Judge Spier Whita-
ker out of the Populist party this
- week in an editorial headed, "Jump,
Gentlemen, Jump." The paper says;
"Of course the motives for Capt
Kitchin's-course ia clear. Be has
one son nominated - by the Demo-
, cratt of Halifax county for the State
Senate. He has another Bon nomi
nated by the Democrats of the .Fifth
district for Congress. " His paternal
instincts and .natural family : pride
inspire him to appeal to all people
to stand by the. Democrats.; But
when he does this he ought to go
the "whole ho." He'ought to call
himself a Democrat : 5. "

posing as a Populist, -v He is a "new

Thirtv-two rears ago Mr, W. C
Stronach received a wound in his
shoulder while in the thickest of an
engagement during the recent diffi
culty with our - northern friends.
The wound was the result of a bul
let striking Mr. Stronach 'a shoulder
after 'rebounding from a musket
Ivintr on the ground close by, bince
that time the ball has caused Mr.
Stronach some inconveinnces at oc
casional periods. v" . ' .i.V. ik
When the cathode ravs came into
use in medical surgery and as a
moans of detecting bullets located
in the bod v. the idea struck Mr.
Stronach that he might ' have the
slug in his shoulder removed. While
in Baltimore : recently Mr. Stron
ach made a - visit to the famous
Johns Hopkins labratory for the
nuroose of locatinsr the ball in his
shoulder by ' application of, the X
ravs, but they were In use there.
Becentlr the departmentof physics
at Wake Forest has been equipped
witb X ray apparatus. Today Mr.
Stronach. went out to Wake Forest
upon an invitation from Prof. Laneau
of the Deoartment of Physics in or

has - been - in his 'shoulder for
more than 30 years. ' i

New York Cotton Letter.
By private wire to G. E. Leach.
Nbw York, Oct. 16, 1896.
The market today has .been verj
quiet, with the trading up on a
small scale. The same firm under
tone which characterized yester
day's market has again been in evi
denofe today,,, ; At the opening prices
were unfavorably affected by rates.
As the sentiment, locally, continued
rather bullish, operators took ad
vantage of the decline to buy cotton,
which, in conjunction with a small
demand from outside sources, start
ed the narrow market on the up
track till at 1 o'clock prices were
steady at from 3 to 4 points over last
evening's final figures. A decrease
in receipts of 2,000 bales at the four
teen interior towns which have thus
far been reported acted as a
stumbler to prices. Port receipts
were also relatively lighter, today 's
arrivals being estimated at 42,000
bales, against 63,197 last week and
34,586 last year. It begins to - look
as if we are about to experience the
decrease in the movement which is
generally expected. The effect of
lighter receipts has not as yet been
discounted. New Orleans has bought
quite freely here today, which is the
only feature worthy of mention. The
South is reported to be offering spots
quite freely here today, generally at
unchanged prices. However, this
ia doubtless due to the growing
nervousness as to the political out
come referred to in our letter of
yesterday. The near future of the
market will be largely dependent
upon receipts and now that fney give
evidence of decreasing tbe chanees
would appear to be in favor ot an
improvement.

bear in mind that tomorrow is tlje
last day.: The books show that about
one hundred white voters in the
first ward have not registered, about
sixty in the second, about eighty
five in the third and about seventy- '
five in the fourth. . . Among those'
who have 'no registered are many,
prominent citizens who should -not
neglect it longer. . k
- All good ; Democrats should turn
out tomorrow and make the registra
tion exceed that of 1895, which was
tbe heaviest ou record. The regis
