A great many people through
out the State look upon Dr. W,
C. McDifiie, of this city, as
the man to succeed Dr. Grissom,
as superintendent of the Insane
Asylum. Dr. McDuffie is an ex
President of tho North Carolina
Medical Society, and is one of
the most highly cultured and
brainy physicians in the State.
He has a reputation, superior to
most any, for the treatment ot
insanity. Here inJiis own home
he is loved for his kindly and
sympathetic nature, his genial
manners and towering intellect,
and well-known ability as a phy
sician. His election would in

of John W. Thompson and his

and Governor Fowle. He refers
to the prosecutors as "wretched

part in the numerous indigna
