A sad accident occurred at Kittrell about two weeks ago. Two colored boys were catting in an old field new ground, the smallest boy about 14 years old, cut a small pine tree and it lodged on another. He then cut the other tree about the size of a house pole, when the trees began to fall he ran to clear himself and in trying to get out of the way became entangled in brush and fell, the lodged tree turning, the other fell across the boy's breast and throat mashing his head into the ground. The tree was soon taken off of the boy by some men near by. He was at once taken to his home on a wagon and died about time they arrived with him.

A drummer had some fun at one of the depots here a few nights ago at the expense of some colored men. As soon as he got off the train he saw a crowd of darkies, and the traveling man proceeded at once to interview them on the controversy between the United States and Spain. He told the negroes that he had been sent down here by the government to take the names of volunteers for the war, adding that the President had requested him to take the names of his friends first. "Learning that all of you colored people voted for Mr. McKinley I have decided to take your name hrst," continued the drummer.

Taking out his book and pencil he asked the negro nearest to him to give his name and age. Stepping back the darkey exclaimed "I swar 'fore God boss, I voted for Mr. Bryan." "You are not wanted then," said the drummer who turned to his next man, but the response was along thej same line "I'se a Bryan man, too', exclaimed Sambo. The traveling man said he was unable to find a single McKinley man in t'he big crowd of darkies gathered at the depot. Winston Sentinel.

The history of the Populists leaders for the past four years is conclusive evidence to us a sv that they are in it tor ornce ana win fuse with anything to reach it. They have thrown principle aside, and are in for party pelf and plunder, and we think that the honest Populists in the party see it, too, and we believe that they will come back and vote with the party that has given, and will give North Carolina a government by white North Carolin -ians.

Southern Spindle and Loom. We can hardly see how the political campaign in North Carolina this fall is to be conducted exclusively on State issues. This State is overwhelmingly in fayor of silver, and the nine gentlemen nominated to represent the State, by the Democratic party, for instance, in the Congress of the United States, will present a spectacle to the eyes of men, when they talk to the people only on State issues. The logical conclusion is that the campaign in North Carolina will involve the discussion of both State and national issues. R.
