Wemake the following extract from letter to the
Editor dated Rome, Georgia, and written by native
North Carclinian, formerly a resident of Granville

from it that you are in favor of the election OF Nc
Donald over Cobb. The Wings of Georgia, as they
saw are trying break down old party lines, and
running Mr.. Cobb their candidate but they are
doing this only for the purpose of taking in Demo-

This is good news.

dates for Congress in your State may succeed; and
hope, most especially that Stanly may be beaten.
