No New Registration in Union and
Mulberry.
,Some are advocating the the-;
ory that there must be an en:
tirely new registration in Mul
berry and Union townships, by
reason of the new line estab
lished between Wilkes and
Ashe by the last Legislature.
This is not correct. No town
ship . boundery lines were
changed. It was simply the
county line." The township
line of these border townships
is simply the county line, and
a change of the county line,
does not come within the con
templation of the law. It is
only where lines between town
ships are changed that the
law applies.

The County Canvass.
' The county candidates are
around having their fun, and
they seem to be getting along
all right. Everything seems
to v getting along smoothly.
Hackett is managing the Red
Fox in a lively manner, and
keeps him in a.hole most of the
time. They say McGhinnis is
making good speeches. Brer
Somers doesn't say much. He
announces that he is a candi
date and is for the gold stand
ard, and sits down. The oth
candidates talk as much asx
they please, and though they
talk a little 4 'sassy" sometimes,
there's been no blood shed nor
any prospects of it. There are
plenty of candidates' in the
field, and they all seem to want
to be elected. Everybody a
grees that the last proposition
is strictly true.
McNeil and Barker, the Republican-Populist
candidates
for the Senate, are with the
county candidates this week.
They were in Lincoln last
week.
Everybody ought to hear the
county candidates.
They say Sheriff Call has
won the compliment of being
the most energetic and loudest
speaker in the crowd.
Later Mr Barker returned
to Lincoln the first of the week.
The Darkey Downed Tommy.
The Sentinel this on Tommy
Settle, which sizes up the 53
cent dollar business pretty
well:
"Republican speakers are
fond of talking about 9 .53 cent
dollar. You never hear a
speech without it is dwelt on
at length.
"It is told on Tom Settle that
he made a speech the other
day, devoting the ussual time
to - the subject. After the
speaking an old colored- man
hitched up his horse for him
and Mr. Settle asked him how
much he owed him.
"Ten cents", I recon,' aid
the darkey, whereupon Settle
handed him a silver dollar, tell
ing him to get it changed. The
old fellow went off and soon
came backwith 43 cents which
he tendered the nominee.
" 'How's this?' he inquired;
fyou charged me ten .cents; . I
gave you a dollar and you
hand me back 43 cents.' '
" 'Well, you see, boss, you
said as how de silver dollah is
only wuf 53 cents; if dats so
you has de right change seer'
"Mr. Settle 'saw' and had no
more argument." "' -

This is to certify that I have
been teaching in Traphill In
stitute since the opening Au

no loss by the change. I know
of no better school of its grade
