' Mr. Oliver Hendren's
marks in the Democratic
I- - 1 i "
vention Monday were to
point and in a few words.
; re
conn
Ithe
j He
is aid:
can.
"I was once a Republic
I can't tell you why;
i5ut I tell you now tnat l ant a
Democrat, and I can give' you
' the reason of the faith that is
in me. It is to my interest to
be a Democrat. Not only; to
my interest, but to the interest
of the masses of the people of
the South, and the upbuilding
of the country ." He struck
straight from the shoulder and
hit the mark.
Several very bright talks
were made at the convention:
Mr. Wright, the Alliance lec
turer, stated that his pemocra
cy was pure and true, and that
he went into the Democratic
convention with no other - pur
pose than to strictly abide its
decisions. All the remarks
were conservative and concilia
i i
torv. The prevailing: tenor of
the remarks was, that - right
and proper concessions should
be made to all shades of opin
ion within the Democracy, but
that under no circumstances
should the bed-rock principles
of pure Democracy be in any
way compromised, and 'if. she
fall, let her go down pure and
untarnished, sparkling: f as I a
diamond in the dust of defeat

Is He Miller's KnrdererJ
Quite an excitement was raised in
own Monday over the arrest of a man
( n the suspicion of being Miller's mur
derer. He came into; town and from
his appearance excited suspicion. He
noon caught on and attempted to slip
out of town by a back street. But his
movements were discovered and after
i lively race policeman Lewis captured
um and lodged hirnin jail.
j He gives hi3 name as Porter, and he
las been identified as jWill Porter, his
mother being Roberts jwho lives some
: our or five miles) from "Wilkesboro
: lis father he says lives about 15 miles
: rom Marion Va. Ilej has been gone
: or several years Upon his arrest he
iras identified by Ed. Hackett and oth
ers from Mt. Airy as tbe fellow recently
; ailed there on suspicion of being Mil
'. er's murderer. i I
i The evidence not being sufficient, he
1 yas let loose at Mt. Airy and a couple
of hours afterwards a telegram was re
ceived that he was waiited at Marion,
Va., for stealing a hbrse.
! Sheriff Greenwood tells us that Satur
day week ago this same fellow stayed
ill night at his housd and that next
morning, when he found out he was at
the sheriff's house, hq. slipped out of
the door when no one was watching
And left about as fast as his legs could
ake him. I r I
Porter says however that he is not the
man who was in Mt." Airy Jail, and says
he has never heard otMiller's murder.
But his statements are? very contradicto-
iy- '
He fills the description of Millers
iiurderer, very closely, except as to age.
He seems younger than is stated in the
description. He wears blue overalls
Over his pants which are striped. Tf hen
arrested he had on a light , coat and
dark jacket. When ksked about his
coat, said he never had a black coat,
i nd wore the light summer coat since
hristmas. ;lt was! found out a few
lainutes later that he :had swapped
oats Saturday before with Isaac Smith,
colored. Smith happening to be in
town, the coat was shown Porter and
he owned up to owning and wearing
the coat. Mr. .Finley German, . who
