STEDMAH CLUB ORGANIZED
Enthusiastic Supporters of Gullford's Gu-bernatorial
Candidate Plan an
Aggressive Fight.
An enthusiastic crowd of the friends
of Major Charles M. Stedmau, Guil-ford's
peerless gubernatorial candidate,
met in the court house last Thursday
evening and organized for the purpose
of lending their aid in the contest
which is to be pulled oft in the city
next week. The attendance, consider-ing
the brief preliminary notice of the
meeting, was indeed gratifying, a
number of ladies gracing the assembly
with their presence.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr. R. R. King, who called Judge R.
C. Strudwick to the chair. Judge
Strudwick made a few appropriate re-marks,
short and to the jioint, then
annouueed that the meeting was ready
for business.
Mr. A. L. Brooks then gave a brief
account of the canvass, stating that

The announcements of Messrs. John every way qualified for this exalted
W. McNairy, candidate for county position, Mr. Taylor offered these reso-treasurer,
and L. A. Carmon, candidate lutlons:
for Bberiff, appear in this issue. "Whereas, The
Miss Lake Brown is among the
together in sacred things and that he
has spoken to me upon the verities of
our holy Christianity with a reverence
almost too deep for words. Major
.Stedman has not been a model church-man
as regards attendance on the
stated ministry of the Word, and this
may have been used to his prejudice:
but I know (for he has spoken freely to
me on the subjebt) that bin high ideal
of what such a one ought to be, and
his modest estimate of his own spir-itual
attainments, have deterred him.
A mistake, it may have been, a mis-take,
I think it was, but the mistake
of a man who detests cant and abhors
hypocrisy. He a skeptic! It is not
true. As well might you attempt to
convince me that Charles M. Stedmau
is false to the memory of his mother as
that he does not, with every faculty of
his mind, aud I trust all the power of
his heart, adore the God of the Bible
and the Savior of tne race. I do not
theorize: I testify. Speak of character,
it is a melancholy commentary upon
the evil days on which we have fallen
in the Old North State when such ar-rows
of detraction can be shot at such
character without exciting an outburst
of public indignation. Why, sir, my
baby boy, who will deign to greet no
other stranger, watches for his coining,
as he daily passes by my home on his
way to his office, and runs to meet him
with an infant's unerring instinct for
the tender, the loving, the noble and
the true. His is a nature that might
'wear the shield of Bayard or Sidney's
plume of snow.'
"Mr. Chairman, I count it an honor
to call Charles M. Stedman my friend;
and whether, at tv e coming election,
his gray locks shall wear a chaplet
placed there by the suffrages of a
grateful people in appreciation of in-trinsic
manhood aud that historic he-roism
to which we of a younger gener-ation
can pay tribute but for a little
while longer, or, when nature's grest
deht is paid, wear only the ornament
of its unsullied whiteness, I shall ever
love and admire the character of
Charles Manly Stedman."
At the conclusion of Dr. Battle's re-marks,
Judge Strudwick asked if "any
one was brave enough to add anything
else?" The answer was applause aud
after the entire assemblage had pledged
itself to Major Stedman, a permanent

MARKET REPORT.
The receipts ou our market for the
pact week have not been as large as
they were the previous week: in fact,
sales are getting right light, due to the
fact that the farmers in this section are
pretty nearly all sold out, and those
few who have tobacco yet on hand are
so busy they are unable to handle it
aud get it ready for market. The prices
on all grades remain about the same
except ou good medium fillers, which
seems to be a shade lower on all the
markets. All other grades seem to be
holding up well and farmers are high-ly
pleased with their prices even with
this Change. It will soon be time for
new tobacco aud our buyers are straight-ening
up all their old tobacco and get-ting
ready for the new, so we would re-spectfully
urge all farmers having to-bacco
yet on hand to make an extra ef-fort
to put it on the market at an early
date. The market is active aud our
buyers seem to want the weed at good
prices.
Capt. J. W. Forbis, of this county,
made a fair sale on this market last
Friday.
Oscar Payne and John Mosely, of
Kockiugham's good farmers, were on
the market the past week with tobacco.
W. H. Brookbank, of Rockingham,

L. L. Sellers and J. M. Story, of Ala-mance
county, were on the market last

prices.
Geo. Oliver and James Dawson, from

were here last week and made a very
