x- J. ff REPUBLICANS ARE WORKING FOR CARR Around Town. MR. K1SSICK TOUCHED. The following Is from the Raleigh News and Observer of Thursday: "The pickpockets are getting In their work at the fair grounds as Is usually the case.

Mr. Ed. McKlssick of Ashevllle has had his pocket picked by the A REMARKABLE IMAN. DR. J.

L. M. CURRY.AGENT OF THE FEABODY FUND. The following from the Greensboro Telegram, will Interest Dr. Curry's many friends in Ashevllle: "Dr.

day, la undoubtedly one of the most re markable men Jn the country. Few men have successfully filled as many posl tions in life as he. "He started In life as a teacher and was later a lawyer. Before the civil war he (was a member of congress and during the four year's struggle be tween the states served in the Confederate congress and as colonel of a regiment in the Confederate army. He was afterwards a Baptist minister and pfesldent of Richmond college.

During Cleveland's nrst administration he served as minister to Spain and wrott a history of that country. He Is atso the author of "The North Against the South," an argument of the constitutional question of secession. After re turning from Spain he was made general agent of the Peabody fund, in which work he has since been engaged. Whether as teacher, lawyer, preach i er, politician, author, diplomat or educational agent, Dr. Curry has alwa been signally successful.

Instances ar indeed rare where men have the power of so successfully diverting their lives from one channel to another. "Although 78 years old. Dr. Curry is still active and vigorous, both in mind and body. His work as general agent of the Peabody fund carries him all over the south, and he makes It a point to visit every Institution receiving aid from the' fund once a year.

He also Visits and addresses the legislatures of the southern states. He has appeared before each of them In behalf of education some of them as many as two or three timeB." SIMMONS' MAJORITY. THE MASCOT PREDICTS THAT IT WILL BE IMMENSE. From the Statesville Mascot. --Col.

Waddell has withdrawn from the race for senator. His card, printed else'where, Is what was to have been expected from him, great and patriotic Democrat that he is. Since Ms withdrawal the senatorial situation has cleared up, and It Is how evident to all except those who will not see that Mr. Simmons will defeat Geneial Carr by an immense majority. The entire east Is for Simmons Carr will not carry a single county east of Kalelgh while nearly every county of the west, is for Simmons also.

We know that Mr. Simmons expects majorities in at least 85 of the 97 counties In the state. When It comes to predicting political results In North Carolina we will risk F. M. SlmmTjns' judgment before that of any other man.

He will have at least majority. Watch prediction SO MUCH PER HEAD. RADICALS PAY COMMISSIONS FOR NEGROES REGISTERED. An amusing scene occurred at the Farmer warehouse last the registration for the fourth precinct Is going on, and which was a dead give away of the methods of the local Republicans. Two negroes got into a quarrel and it was developed that the cause -was a dispute over a (commission for bringing in another negro to register.

It appeared that the. Republicans were offering these commissions regularly. Each negro claimed the credit of registering a third one. One claimed that he had brought the man to the warehouse, while the other retorted that he had his name in his book, and he didn't see how he was to have a full dinner pall unless he got all that was coming to him. The matter -was finally amicably adjusted.

WEDDING ANNOUNCED. THE CEREMONY TOOK PLACE ON OCTOBER 17. The announcement of the marriage of Frank Frady and Miss Hannah Stamen on the evening of October 17 will be a surprise to both relatives and friends of the young couple. That evening Mr. Frady called on his fiancee and the two left the house, presumably for prayer-meeting.

Instead, however, they went to Dr. J. H. Woodcock's office on Pat-ton avenue, where Justice A. B.

War was waiting for them. The marriage took place there. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Frady returned to the young lady's home, where she has been until last evening, when she went to her husband.

The bride's father resides at Alexander but she has been staying with relatives on Merrlmun avenue. Mr. Frady Is In the employ of McKay Farr, the electricians. to C. B.

Deaver Figures in the General's Campaign. GETTING LIST OF VETERANS TO WHOM CARR LITERATURE IS TO GO. The following letter has been received by Charles A. Webb, of this city, and throws light upon one feature of the senatorial campaign in this part of Korth Carolina: "Brevard, N. C.

55. "Dear Sir: I want to show you what the senatorial contest Is causing in our county. Chas. B. Deaver, the erstwhile' defeated Republican candidate for city clerk of Ashevlllc, the present chairman of the Republican executive committee -of Transylvania county and the son of W.

H. Deaver, the great G. A. R. man, Is working for Col.

J. 8. Carr. "I heard him telephoning to find out the names of the most prominent Confederate veterans In our county and the next day I asked him If he was not wanting to find out something so as to use It for Colonel Carr. He said that he was sending a list of the Confeuerates to a friend of his In Ashevllle who wanted to send out Carr literature to the old veterans and to'do other work with them to' Influence them to vote for Carr, "It strikes me that If It were called to the attention of the old veterans that a Republican county chairman and the son of a G.

A. R. man was working for Carr, It would show what Carr men are doing and It will also' show to whom Carr will be under obligations for his position should he be elected S. senator. Deaver Is a very bitter Republican and is now storekeeper and gauger at Cooper's distillery.

"Our county Is solid for Simmons. With best regards, I am, yours heartily, W. E. BREESE, JR." OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. BOARD OF ALDERMEN SHOULD URANT ITS REQUEST.

Editor The Citizen Many good citizens are in anxious expectancy as to the action of the Board of Aldermen tonight, in reference to the request of the "fire laddies." But one opinion have I heard as to what they should do. It has been thought strange that there should ever have been any hesitancy in the board cheerfully granting the modest request made upon them. All know that It is not for any want of appreciation of the efficiency Of the companies. This is so patent to every man, woman and child in th city that It tannot be thought of as a reason. But It clearly resolved Itself Into a question of doubt upon the part of the board as to whether the finances of the city will allow sucn an expenditure.

'Tls to their credit that they should go slow in assuming new liabilities, this as a rule, but 'tis said "exceptions prove the rule" and there Is no kind of question but what this exception would meet with the hearty approval of nine-' tenths of the good citizens. Our fire department Is one of the institutions of the city of which we are all proud. Strangers can hardly be made believe, when witnessing the rapidity of movement when an alarm Is sounded, that we have a volunteer system. I heard a gentleman say only a day or two ago that he had rather see the fire teams dashing out to a call, than to witness the best show parade that comes to the town. 1 think I but reflect the sentiments of a vast number of citizens and taxpayers when I appeal to our honorable Board of Aldermen to give to these men, who have proven themselves heroes many occasions, all they ask.

M. RAT. A "SMART" YOUNG MAN. Kutherfordton cor. Charlotte Observer.

Moody brought a reporter of the Gazette along with him. This man is a very interesting individual, to say the least. He has been living in this state, 1 am told, about six months. He came liere from Ohio. Although he is a re-porter of the Gazette and lived In Ashe-ville, he seems to be ashamed of it, as he registered from Cincinnati, Ohio.

I a in told that he made a remark over the mountains last week, about. Chairman Simmons, which Is not at all creditable to the. "smart" young man from Ohio. He said that he would rather associate and sleep with the dirtiest negro in the 'state than with 'Simmons. That remark has practically ostracised him over the mountairis where lie Is working.
