Mr. J. C, Buxton Thinks the District
Will Go Democratic This Fall.
Charlotte Chronicle.
The Fifth district is solid for a
Democratic Representative in the next
Congress; so says Hon. J. C. Buxton,
of Winston. '
'Mr. Buxton was in Charlotte a few
days ago, and was interviewed by a
Chronicle representative u,x)n the
political situation in the Fifth district.
Mr. Buxton said that who the Demo
cratic nominee will be cannot yet be
predicted with any degree of certain
ty. He mentioned Baldy Williams,
of Granville; J. A. Long, of Person;
and Dave Settle, of Rockingham, as
strong candidates; and he said that
Guilfurd has promised to bring out a
man, and she says he will be a strong
.one when she names him.
"There will be no lack for plenty of
timber," said Mr. Buxton.
"But I see favorable mention fre
quently made ot the name of J. C.
Buxton in this connection," said the
reporter.
"Yes," said Mr. Buxton, "Butl am
not seeking the nomination. I have
told my friends that if I am the choice
of a majority of the Democrats, that
I am willing to undertake the task of
redeeming the district."
Mr. Buxton said that while there is
likely to be a number of candidates
before the convention, there will be
no strife; that it will be a good-naturedly
contest, and that the party will
be united on the nominee.
Mr. Buxton says that the Dem
ocrats of the Fifth are aroused and will
go in to win. He is confident that
the district will be redeemed.
When asked about the probable re
sults of the recent negro revolting
mass meeting held at Greensboro, Mr.
Buxton said that it will amount to
nothing, so far as the success of the
Democrats is concerned. He regards it
as f he result ofan effort to cripple Brow
er's chances for nomination, in favor
of some other candidate, possible Tom
Settle, of Guilford. He thinks that if
Brower is again nominated the mutiny
in the camp will subside before the
election. The Democrats are not
gathering hope or consolation from this
seeming reolt of the negroes, but
hope to win the victory by honest hard
work, and on the merits of the princi
ples of the party.
Canning Fruit.
Winston Sentinel.
The demand for canned fruit is prac
tically unlimited. It is growing every
year, and the time will never come
when canning will not be a profitable
industry to the people in the central
and western part of North Carolina.
