Senator Sim mons tonight sent a joint letter to Chief Justice Waiter Clark, Governor W.' W. Kitchin and former Governor Aycock, who are active candidates against the senior Senator for his seat in tbe United States Senate, suggest ing that an agreement be had between the four candidates as to the amount of money which bhall. be spent in the coming campaign. Mr. Simmons points out that the use of money in ramnaicrna fnr frho nnimnaUnn ot view readers whether The Weekly has ! . . -tt, , 7 candidates has become a great evil. as much as ONE-HALF the circula tion of The Review. It confirms the reports .which The Weekly's solicitor has been meeting with in his rounds, to-wit : that The Review claimed to have DOUBLE the circulation as The Weekly. We have not only challenged The Review's preposterous claims, but have asserted, what we have the best of reasons for believing, that The Weekly has a larger circulation than The Review. TheReview having so completely backed down and refused as fair a and has noted its every tof proposition as was ever put up to a EVERYTHING In Fine Coffees.

The letter in full follows: "Adverting to the recent corre spondence between , the senatorial candidates looking to securing a -joint request on their Dart to the Democratic State Committee to call a senatorial primary and fix the time, rules and regulations for holding it, I wish in this connection to call your attention to the question of the desirability of securing action on the part of the committee or convention, or by agree ment between the candidates, for lim iting the amount and use of money by the respective candidates. I am sure you will agree with me that the use of money in campaigns for the nomina tion of candidates has become a great evil and that it ought to be stopped. "Personally, on account of my lim ited means and the embarrassed con dition of my finances, even if I felt disposed to do so. I would.be unable to invest in this campaign more than is absolutely necessary to defray the admittedly legitimate expense thereof.

Editor Webster's Weekly : No item of news has reached m in along time more welcome than to learn that Reids ville .Baptist Chorch bad secured Brother C. J. D. Parker as pastor. I shall always love Rolidsvlle. Both the upa and downs of my experience there are treasured and helpful mem ories and are parts of my life. I often sit down and call to mind tbe dear familiar faces that used to surround me there and imagine myself again in the charming nomas that used to re ceive ma in the days of old. Loving the people of Reidsville so much, I of course covet for them the best gifts, and they have it in Parker. I knew bim in college, an ambitious student and orator, with a more than usual de gree of piety for a raw and unformed theologue as we all were. I remember running upon him in a wooded glen one afternoon and catching him treat- Capt. Johu M. Waddill. 'who was for many vearsa citizen of Reidsville, being engaged in the mercantile busi ness, and who removed from here to Greenville. S. C. died at Jits home in the latter city Tuesday night of pneu monia. Capt. Waddill is pleasantiv remembered by our older citizens, for during his residence here he took an active part in religions and education al work, being a deacon in the Baptist chuich and a member of the Graded School Cooimitte. He was a genial sentleman, whom to know was to es teem. His widow i9 a sister of Mrs. R. G. Gladstone, of Reidsvi'le. The Greenville Daily New3 gives the fol lowing account of his passing: "With the nrofoundest sorrow will the public learn of the death of Mr. John Minor Waddill, Sr. . one of Greenville's most sincerely loved and respected citizens, who succumbed to pneumonia at his home on-east Wash ing the rocks and trees to a choice iugton street last night at twenty min fligbt of oratory. utes after ten o'clock. Mr. Waddill I was not surprised to learn of him has been in declining health for sev- after that as a winner in society con tests for the honors of the forum. Parker is all right; he has made cood everywhere he has ever been tried and will.do thft work of his life in Reids ville. I envy him his dwelling place among those bracing hilis. It will make his body a3 strong as his stoat heart. Be good to him, O Reidsville, for he will give you freely all that he has to give in the way of patient and unremitting service. Of course he does not know that I am writing this. I believe I have never told hiin what I think of him. Sincerely. CHARLES L. GREAVES. Washington, Jan. !.
