whent he has been lawfully wedded,
and one of whom is divorced and em
ployfl liy him as a cook In the house
'wld of tho other,, 'u most astonishing
situation which has- been attracting
-Utich attention here.
W. V. Venable, a merchant -of Dan-
'Win, was a good many years neo mar-
I'led to Nannie Slzemore. ' Not. many
noiiths ago he tired of life with his
ipoiise and a divorce suit wa en
tered, the result being that a decree
was granted him. - He. however. Im
mediately employed hfe former wife

Venable met .Mrs. Samuel Skinwith, s
widow who is a teacher in one of thp
public schools, and becoming tnfal
latcd with this women he decided to
ngain become a benedict. Accordingly
1 proposal and acceptance followed.
Preparations were then begun for the

prospective bridegroom was required
to prepare the feast, attendant upon
the marriage of her former lord and

NEW YORK, Sept. 22. The antl-
Har&t contingent professes to feel
great confidence that they can "pre
vent the Buffalo Democratic Conven
tion from endorsing the New York ed
itor. . ' ; . .-. ; ... '., -. "
The chief hope is centered on"Bosst'
Murphy" of Tammany Hall. A week
ago Murphy was giving out interviews
about the amount of Hearst sentlmeut
there was Inside of Tammany. It is
said- now that he hag utilized this sen
timent to carry the primaries but he
will be willing to throw Hearst over
board If he can make a profitable deal
by so doing. He has ceased to give
out interviews about Hearst sentiment
an-d has turned sphinx. '.,
Hearst this mcynlng devotes an en
tire page in his New York American
o an onslaught on Ryan, Belmont and
Shehan. It is declared that the Demo
sratlc party caiinot survive- at the
polls unless Ryan, Belmont and Shoe-
bait are first expelled from the party
councils. X cartoon shows a proces
sion or the various trusts led : by
Ryan, Delancy Nlcoll, JudRe Parker,
Belmont and Sheehan, bearing "ap
propriate - motto."1 Hearst pays bis
compliments to Norman E. Mack, of
Buffalo, by representing his as a di
minutive figure in a shawl, the strap
being carried, by. the traction trust
with a tag on him, "Excess baggage
captured from .the enemy." This is
taken to mean that the breach ' be
tween Hearst and Mack is definite
and complete. -
The World this morning for the first
time in several days publishes no fun
eral oration on the Democratic party.
In its news columns the World makes
the statement . that Murphy is now
against Hearst and- plans to beat him
by submitting the name bf Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler, to the Buffalo
convention as a candidate for gov
ernor. Chanler la now on tbe Hearst
ticket for- lieutenant governor.

Winston-Salem people are very
much interested in the riot news from
Atlanta. Col. J. L. Ludlow, who
came in this morning from a trip
south, says be was in Atlanta during
the turbulent scenes- Saturday night
and1 Sunday an.l that the situation
was not overdrawn by the newspapers.
Colonel Ludlow thinks that the exact
number of people killed will never be
known.
Colonel Ludlow says that the value
of a state guard was- manifest on this
occasion. The police force was un
able to cope with the situation. The
soldiers conducted themselves with
becoming dignity and honor. They
were on duty for 30 hours without re
lief. .Colonel Ludlow entertains the
opinion that had the militia been
called out earlier the trouoie wouia
have been ended much earlier than it
was and the lives of many Innocent
people would have been saved.

Fl
. Winston-Salem has cause, to feel
very proud of this up-to-date estab

more artistic or beautifully arranged

by a real artist: On Liberty street,
the first window contained a large
arch draped in white, " dotted with
many bi ight; colored electric bulbs,
while a true autumn- touch was given
to- the nest window, the large arches
being profusely decorated with ears
of corn In the sheaf, while the back
ground was mphated with the same
suggestive grain, elegantly gowned
women In fine costumes giving the
touch necessary to th pretty scene.
The window on the left with its arcjj
f autumn leaves, and background- of
green was an effective' nlace for the
display. of the uobby tailor hate. On
entering the store from this street all
the uew fabrics in wash goods and
uoveltles were seen, the former in
many colorB ingeniously draped with
in the arches. A little fence with ani
artistic gatefgave a pretty touch to
the display on that side, in wnicn
were found house fttnwsiiing gxu
shoes, etc. ' '
The Fourth street aisle is ablaze
with one of the most authentic show-
ines of new fall drese fabrics, silks
and laces ever exhibited lt the I win
City, a display which shows that art
