The Winston Seittinel,is still
dfter, Settle about that bogus

rjemains silent on. -the matter.
It seems that Settle's llrothern-4in-law,
Mr. Sha'rpe, "of Greens
boro did the distributing of the
iekets: And the evidence seems
o bo accumulating which
criminates some of the faithful
fight' here at home. The Sen-
inel says:
In the meantime, while Mr. Settle is
i-emaining silent under a chargo which j
fan innocent man would quickly deny ,
the evidence is accumulating. During
he campaign Mr. Settle wrote a letter
to Mr. J.Tluff Ilendsrson (postmaster at

It i appears that all the
promises of Revenue offices
have been filled in this county
by Mr. Mastiri, and that out
siders have to bo called in to
fill the demand for Storekeepers
places: Last week, Mr. Rollins
sent in anoutsider; whether by
consultation with Mr. Mast in
or not we; do not know, : to take
the place of storekeeper at Mr.
Dimmitt's . distillery. , v YYe
thought jsertainly that therex
could be found enough Repub
licans in Wilkes county to fill
the storekeepers places. When
tho;Dembcrats had charge, they
dld.noi haVe to call upon out
siders to fill these , places, but
give them" to our own county
men. AVd -judging from the
recent election in the county
it appears that the Republicans
have something like 700 more
in number than the Democrats
from which to select.
A Good
Chance for our Ko"jrs.
W. Jcnnincrs Demorest, of
New York, offers a Silver Med
al to the best declaimer of each
class of eight speakers that
may bo formed. The chahi
pions who recievo these Silver
Medals can then form - a" class
and speak for a Gold Medal.
Now. let the school teahers in
the bounty -form classes and
speak ..for, -the Silver- Medal.
Mr. P. S. Blair, ilenola, N.' C,
is agent for this State and he
willgivejtho classes such infor
mation as they may need if cal
led upon , It . will take little
trouble to get up these classes,
and it wiil. bo a benefit to our
boys. Iff as many as eight clas
ses are formed in the county,
it will enable the champions to
form a class and declaim for
tho'Gold Medal. As the classes
are formed, drop the Chronicle
a cara or letter.
