POLITICAL POT Gossip on the Streets From the Politicians. The question of interest among the Re publicans and Populists here now Is will J. J. Jenkins the Populist candidate for Congress remain in the race until the end and make it a three-cornered fight bci. ween Pou, Giles and Jenkins. The Republicans thought that Jenkins would como down and have uaed every effort to have him withdrawn but as yet be is still fn tb ring. He has mode no can vass of the district, and the Republicans hoped that he would send out no tickets but-in this also they were disappointed Mr. Jenkins has had his tickets printed, and sent ; them out to all the county chairmen arid written them a personal letter. This looks like Jenkins is run ning !n carnoBt. The Republicans had hoped for Jen kins' withdrawal so that they could get a basis for Giles to contest the seat when Mr. Poa is elected. The Republi cans claim that the negroes have been refused registration In Vance and Nash counties Just as they say was done in the August election. In Democratic circles the now absorb ing question is the Senatorial primary. The list of poll-holders for the Sena torial primary In this county is still in complete. Indeed, the list of poll-holders changes dally. "1 never saw so many undecided ' voters." said a close friend of one of -the candidates for the Senate. "I know one man who when he was ap pointed said that he would vote for Gen. Carr If not another man in the State 'did, yet two days laier he was for Mr. Simmons. Several who were for Mr. Sim mons when appointed have changed to Gen: Carr. Thus the constant shifting goes on up to the very eve of the elec tion, now only five days off." 'One of the most absturd rtports of th campaign wps brought to Itnleigh today by n man from t edar r ork, who saidi that the negro thought ttiat. if they could qualify to vote in the Sena torial primary that they would not be disfranchised. He wns informed that no negro could vote in the Sena torial pnmnry no matter if lie was a straight Democrat and had been all his life. The local Republicans do not. like the- report that there are 300 negroes in ItaJeigh who have made no attempt to reirister in the nationul election.

It is run entirely by negroes, excepting two white carpenters, one loom fixer, all the rest are negroes in every department. It is run- by a large Corlb-s engine, and the factory makes its own electric lights. The payroll is about $2,000 a month. It has 75 or 1 00 employes. The book keeper is a young woman, the daugh ter of Bishop Hood, the colored Metho dist bishop of the State. The silk manufactured is sold in the northern markets at 2 to 3 cents per yard cheaper than the same class of silks can be sold from north ern towns. , Specimens of the silk, raw and dyed in colors, will ue put on exhibition at the colored fair.

The census shows an increase of 274.045. which is a fine, showing for the "Old North State." Only Georgia nd Tennessee lead this State in the South, of course always excepting the empire of Texas, and the percentage of our increase has been larger than, either of the leaders.

It was predicted that s a. result of the Wilmington revolution:, ami the passage of the (VinstitutUmui -Amendment, .there wouUT be a, decrease in the colored population, and reports have been frequently sent out that there was an- exodus from the State. But the census figures show a large increase in the population. The basis of the present apportion ment of -'members of Congress is one member to every 171.000 inhabitants. This would give North Carolina eleven Congressmen instead of nine, as nt present. It would also make our electoral vote 13, instead of 11. MARRIAGE TONIGHT Miss Ruth Worth and Mr. C. W.
