Double the Number of Paid Subscribers in R.aleigK of any Other Newspaper PS - m SENATE RAGE? Believed That These Political Antago nists Will Head Ticket In Primary This Spring BOTH ARE FIGHTERS Friends of Mr. Arinlstentl Jones Think His Turning Over Actual Leadership to Less Kxperienced Heads Itcspoiisihle for Keverscs Sostaincl by Kurt ion in Itecent Years Mr. J. W. I Jul ley to Knter Contest if Kitlier Mr. Aiioislend Or V. IJ. Jones Makes Kace Would lie Spirited Contest. Decidedly the most interesting po litical gossip goili,"; the rounds these days is the talk of Mr. Arinistead Jones and Mr. .1, W. I1 ii Icy as op ponents lo the slate senate. This is; not merely gossip Wilier, hut is based on declarations made by these gentlenien to their friends. As was stated yesterday, Mr. Jones may decide to head the ticket of his 'faction-in the cotinly. Some of bis friends say that as long as he maintained 'the- actual leadership of his faction he always won, but that In 'recent years he turned the man agement over to less experienced heads with results not altogether satisfactory to enthusiastic Jones men. With Mr. Jones aggressively in the fight, they think, he will win a great victory for his faction. And that Is tlie phase of the.. matter that he is said to have under considera tion. Should Mr. Jones become a candi date in tlie primary which is to be held the first Saturday in June lie will surely be opposed by Mr. Bailey. This gentleman has told some of his j friends that if either .Mr. Armistead Jones or Mr. V. B. Jones aspires to tlie nomination, he will find Mr. Bailey opposing him. Mr. Bailey led the good government faction two yearn ago and, like Mr. Jones, can put up a good tight. 1'olitlcul Kneniies. With these men opposing cadi other, all former campaigns in Wake, county would look like a debate be tween two Sunday school classes. It the truth must be said, Mr. Bailey does not love Mr. Jones, and Mr. Jones does not love Mr. Bailey. In tlie meantime both factions are said to be considering the best ma terial possible for the other legisla tive candidates. Big (.iins to l ight It Out. Men in both factions are hoping that compromise' candidates can be agreed upon so that the rounty will not experience another warm cam paign this political year, but it seems now that the people are to get the worth of their money and that tlie final battle will be fought by the big Kims. . . Mr, Bailey on Situation. When Mr. Bailey was seen this afternoon and asked with regard to the report, he said: "You can say 1'or ine that there is no authority for the statement that I am to run for the senuto." lie added that lit1 hoped there would be a harmony fins rib urn F, Washington, April '2. The house Interstate and foreign commerce committee reported favorably a S1I1I to amend the law giving the Inter state commerce commission author ity over express companies.'

Charles llrod and Henry Gross were killed by Deputy Marshal Wingler In a fight at Odin. The victims were creating a disturbance. . The officer oiiened, fire when they resisted or- ticket this spring and that the fac tional fight would not he renewed. The foregoing story is not in tended to be authoritative, but to reflect the views of men well posted on the local situation. As yet no body has denied that there is likely to be such a line-up as suggested in this article. si'icii)i: or . voith. Was in Love With a (iiil Who Dill Xot Iteturii His A Meet ion.
