Moye, of this county, is reported among those who are working against Pritchard and try—- ing to deteat him for re-election to ihe United States Senate. The News and Observer refers to Mr. Moye as a true silver man and the. noblest among th Populists. Congressman Harry Sktnner is work- ing hard to carry out his part of the contract under which the Republican vote of this district was given him. Ta- stead of being in Washington attending to.his duties as Congressman te is in Raleizn doing all in his power to secure the return of Jeter Pritchard to the Senate. Heis going to car.y the day for, Pritchard, too. The Charlotte Observer looks very familiar since its disastrous fire of Sat- urday night, the only perceptible dif- terence being a little variation in the reading matter type. Getting out a paper atall immediately after. such a disaster sk:uws wonderful pluck and en- te prise, but ithas been noticeable all alovg that the Obseryer had much of these characieristies in its management, May it continue to flourish and always hold its well earned positiun as the best paper in the State.
