C, Oct. l'J.-When Crawford dropped liim nt Waynesville yesterday, I'carson had about made up his mind to quit the race, but J. Wiley Shook und Hli Ferguson pursuaded him to continue the flht for a iew days at least, assurii'K him that he would meet with some of his own way of thinking at Crawford's old home, Fines Creek. Hut Kli failed to ct there, and the crowd proved to He agamst him again. Crawford was met by 150 wen on horseback and I'carson had only two diied up looking followers, and they flew the track before the school house was reached, and he was forced to plod his way nlonc. Uncle Thos. Ferguson of Sandy Mush was here, but he kept out of the way ol the Duke. Crawford opened the discussion and his friends say it is the best speech that was ever delivered on tines Creek. He showed I'carson up in a way that made Wiley Shook hang his head, irnwlord told the people that l'earscn had cerved notice on the country that if any voter present was not properly registered that he I I'carson) would contest the election on the smallest technicality and throw the box out, if every i was not dotted md t crossed as required lv la w. rear- son is the only man in North Carolina who has ever attempted to deprive a man of his vote on technicalities, lie thinks if the Republicans carry the house lie will con ti st Craw torus scat and be seated. If I'carson doesn't gttsomc encourage ment in Pritehardoin, Madison county, you may look for him any time, lie has run out of anything to say and is now charging his failarcin the Asheville boom to Crawford. II Ins hgiircs are true, his voting lor Crawford and Cleveland two years ago cost him thousands ol dollars. 1 look lor htm to nk Liawlord to repair his little summer house on Richmond Hill that decayed dining Cleveland's ad ministration. II the Democratic party- would restore his i)roierty, have his bob-tail horses' tails spliced so thev would look like other people's horses, he might be pert uaded to tctirc to private life alter the Gth of November. You can have this matter brought up b.lore the next meeting of the Democratic club and see what action thev will take on it. something can he done to restore con fidence 1 feci sure that I'carson will vote the 1) moeratic ticket again in lS'.Hi There have been some changes nlready in that direction and the Gth of Novem ber will bring ninny more. We have now spoken in Macon, Clay, Cherokee. Graham, Swain, Urckson und Haywood enuntiis, and I leel comment that Lraw ford will come to the trench llroud 500 to 1,000 stronger than he did two years ago. lie will make gains in every county west of Uuncombe. 1'eurson is always uoitic to carry the earth in the next county, lie said today that he would do big things in )im Morgan's niiuhborhond. ISig Ivy but a little proof would look better than a mere statement. Tin re nro about 3'2t voters nt this box and I am informed by reliable men that Crawford wid get -75 of that num ber. llavwood nillgivc him from 600 to "00 majority this year. The Democrats are wide awake and nt work, while the Republicans are sitting by watching the Crawford pn ci ssion anil saving "if Peai- sou is di -It atcd he is not our man. We wanted lint Moody, but the bosses sold us out, and now they ea.i go to thunder so far as we arcconcerucd. G. H. J. -AM) Illl.l. HUM OCHACY. Maior M imI man Arouses (irt'iit Kn- tliu-hi-ni lii't'il's Convincing Talk Sash lln.t., N. C, Oct. 20.-There was a large turn out of the voters here to day. About all the leading men of Lower Houiinv township were present. Mr HtirnhMin was called to the stand first of thcltgislativc candidates. He seemed to be conscious that he was looked upon with MiMiicion. He was bitter towards Tin; CrriKF.N, but said he loved Mr. Kied like u hro'hcr. He is evidently sick anil tired of the light. After liurnham closed Mr, M. L. Kecd took the floor. He ma kes no pretention to oratory, but makes a sensible and impressive speech lie showed up the records of the parties in a clear, concise and iltective way, and the logic ot Ins tacts elicited loud ap plause. The sincerity of his manner in spires coulidence and makes friends. He is an Honest man ana a strong man. The next sneaker, Miti. westall, is a man that many have always ndniiui., for his intellect, his boldness and inde pendence. Alter defining his position in this campaign, he scnthiugly denounced the pretended Prohibitionist who had acted the traitor to the cause of Prohibi tion and attempted to deliver hiB. the Ma jor's, party to the Republicans. With lire and vehemence nc tola liurnlinm that he was a Judus, who for the hope of getting to the legislature had be trayed Ins cause and proved laisc to every trust; that he was the adopted child of the Kcpublicon party and didn't have sense enough to know it. Major. Stcdman s speech was mag nificent for argument, humor, pa thos, sarcasm 'Hid eloquence. It could not be surpassed. lie ridiculed the position taken by Col. I.usk. He withered him with his sarcasm. He ex posed his sophistries, and inspired the crowd v. ith wild enthusiasm. He and the audience were in perfect sympathy. When Mu). Steodman closed there was long and continued cheering. This speech wns n vole winner, and nt the same time one that stirred nnd aroused every Democrat to greater energy and enthu siasm. Alter the chceiing for Mai Steadmnn hnd in port subsided. Col. Lusk spoke The Colonel is a strong man and n good speaker, but he was hacked, and failed to arouse any enthusiasm, cither in him self or his audience. The Colonel has been driven from the discussion of the issues between the two parties and now jumps iroin one nine iiung iu iiuumcr, One ot the issues with mm in me cam pnicn is, whether Frank Wells shall haul slop Irom the convict camp. He devotes all of his time to the discussion of such questions as this. Col. Lusk is whipped and he realizes it. This was a great victory for Demo crat as will be seen when the returns come in, in November. Letlc-i' to t;oo. s. l'tiut'll Fro llurt'Uou ol Niv .lT.ry , Chairman Geo. S. I'owcll of the Dun combe Good Roads cotnniilU'c has re ceived a letter from Postmaster E. G. Harrison of Asbury Park, N. ., with whom the delegation loimcd mi:1i a pleasant acquaintance on the New Ji rsiy trip. Mr. Harrison, who is the head ol the firm of 12. G. Harrison & Son. road engineers, writes Mr. Powell tr.it he rend the very interesting road report in Tim ClTlZKN, and continues: "1 imUe your soil is something like that in IVnn svlvani i, where I havecou tri'dcd roads IS fict wide and one foot thick lor from $2,000 to $.1,000 a mile. Here wc find foundation stone plenty in licit! j and farmers glad to get rid of ihini. II you construct your roads by labor furnished by the county, and competent superintendence, you can easily change the construction to meet the conditions. This is a great advantage, rip wc often times do not know the conditions until we make our cuts in grading. The sui lacc may look all riht, but the cut will develop springs and often a vcrv differ ent soil. Again, in passing over hills, as you mention, it may be found tbat dress ing and shaping the roads is all that is necessarv. "1 notice that in the report you ''o not sny anything about the crown ol the road and the grade Iroin trown to sides. rte have no hxed rule in regard to that. In no case should the grade be less than Ii to 1, that is, if the roadbed is level. Hut on the grailis the slope or grade should always be greater from center to side dilehes than the long itudinal grade of the road that is, if the latter should be 5 per cent, the former should be C to 8 per cent. If your road is not constructed in this way the water will follow the roadbed, und il there should be ruts, heavy rains will wash ou the small stones, and repairs will be con siderably increased. You sntak ol constructing n sample road. This is a good idea, and it might be that you could select a road where n vaticty of conditions could be met. It' I can be of miv service to von I would hi- pleased to do so, I would certainly like to seethe sample road 'agoodsamiilc' " Ol JI1ANK t()X II. Ho In Mt'iit loiii-il as u Senatorial l'OSll)IIII.V. An Asheville correspondent of the Washington Post mentioned Col. Frank Coxe as one of the possibilities in the selection of n United States Senator, The correspondent s iys: Col. Coxe is one ol the ablest and most popular men in the State, and he is regarded as excellent Senatorial timber. His only weakness appeal? to be that he not a practical politician, lie has been repeatedly urged to nn for Con gress from the Asheville district, but he is a succisslul husiiiiss man, who has amassed a large fortune in railroads, coul mines, and laud in various parts ol the State. He may be pressed into un contest us a dark horse incase of n dead lock. He is one of the most enterprising and aggressive men in the South today, and he was largely instrumental in building the Western North Carolina niilroad, which opened up Asheville and the splendid agricultural mid mineral districts of the State. At present Col. Coxe is interested in improving the facil ities in the South fur Northern travel and investment." TKADi-: t onmm:-.".. Anlirvllli! Invlli-il loi'inl llrliual .

Wai.oneh, I. T., Oct. 22. The Kansas City and Memphis express which left here at 0:30 o'clock Sunday night was wrecked and robbed by the Cook gang of dispcradoes at Correta, a blind siding five miles south ot here. As soon as the train stopped two rob bers commanded the engineerand fireman to come down, and marched them in front of them to the baggage and ex press cars. Here they forced Express Messenger ford to open the doors by pt rforuting the side of the car with bul lets. Meanwhile two more of the robbers had taken up a position at the rear end of the sleeper to prevent anyone from es caping, two others mounted the plat form between the first and second conches, all keeping up a continual firing. The robbers in the express car were meanwhile ransacking the express car, securing all the money in the local safe. The two men on the front platform then started through the coach, de manding money and valuables. As soon as they reached the rear end of the coach the two men on that platform started through the second coach. When they were on their way through a freight train following close behind whistled ami Hill Cook, the leader, who bad all the time remained outside issuing com mands, swearingat the passengers and shooting, called for the hands to come OMt. The men in the cars jumped out and when thev all were on the ground fired a last volley at the train and disappeared in the darkness. The engine cab was shot all to pieces, even the steam gauge and the gauge lamp biint: shot uwuy and the ground .".round the wreck covered with empty shells. It is a miracle that many lives weie not lost as lully 200 shots were lircd. Several pussengers were injured. i iiii.1)i;i:n hi i;i:iTeii:.vni. -niToiiiiili tl by Flro llooni-, ITie-v Could In Their Heel Not Kscapc. Nt:v York, Oct. 22.
