" - GUESS AT THE RESl'LT.
While the sporting world is busy
placing money on the chances of the fa
vorite candidates o its respective
: constituency, thePRras-VisiToR pro
poses to have a small trial at guess-
; ing among its readers.
' We, will give a year's subscrip
tion to the Press-Visitor to the one
who names the successful guberna
torial candidate in North Carolina
and who guesses nearest to his
plurality, and we will also give a
years subscription to the one who
names the Presidential candidate
who will carry North Carolina and
comes nearest tohis plurality.
The contest will be open for gues
ses to be sent to the Press-Visitor
up till the evening before election
day and will be decided by a com
mittee which will be announced be
fore that time.
Those who think that they hold
the key to the political situation will
now have an opportunity to display
their powers of calculation and
prophecy: Let them send in their
predictions. The successful contes
tants will be announced as soon after
election day as the results can be
obtained.
SAVE THE STATE.
One of the most prominent and
best informed Democrats in the
State, and one who has observed the
- political history of the State
closely as any man in it, expresses
the belief that if the full Democratic
, Strength comes out on election day
Mr. Watson w ill poll from 150,000 to
155,000 votes, Russell probably 125,
000 and Mr. Cuthrie the remainder.
He is confident that Mr. Watson
: will be elected if the white Demo
cracy of the State does its duty.
According to this figuring Mr. Wat
. ion ought to get a safe plurality,
and we would impress upon the
Democrats of .North Carolina tbe
-importance of mustering their
' strength on election day to preserve
l the interests 'of the State against
Russelism, whatever else tne day
may bring forth. It will be a sad
, day for North Carolina when Dan
iel L. Russell goes into the guberna
torial chair and the respectable
white people of this State should
line themselves up in an infrangible
phalanx against such a calamity.
' Albert Newson, an Englishman
by birth, and a resident of St. Louis,
has a most pronounced tendency to
enter the uncertain state of matri
mony.": Four times he has ventured
in the role of a husband and court
records show no divorce proceedings
against him.. 'All four of his various
wives are said to be alive. One of
them, who claims to oe Mrs. New
son the third, on Tuesday . applied
for a warrant against Newson, ehargj
ing him with bigamy,' and he was
arrested.; Newson does not deny
that he is much married. He said
that his various wives told him that
they would not agitate the matter of
Lis many marriages. -
Annie Weir, a former slae, who
,1 her old master at Louisville,
William Weir, for twenty-four
rs' i ny at 13 per week, has boen
given a verdict of $1,C50, which is
about half the amount she asked for.
She had worked for him ever since
her emancipation without wages on
his agreement to lodge,- .clothe and
feed her as long as she lived.
We deeply regret to 'note the
death of the mother of Mr. G. Sam
Bradshaw, : f Randolph.- He has
countless friends throughout North
Carolina whose most heart-felt sym
thy will go out to him in his greatest
of sorrows. . ' -
