Hon. VIM II. Carter, representative
FROM this county, was promptly at his
post at the opening of the session Of the
legislature. Mr.. Carter comes to his
duties in the present general assembly
peculiarly we'll fitted to benefit his con
stituents. Serving a third term as rep
resentative he is thoroughly informed
upon the modus Operandi of legislation.
In close accord with his constituents
upon all the points of their material
interests his every effort will be direct
ed toward securing measures that will
be beneficial TO them in that direction.
An educated man himself, for many
years principal of the Dover high
school, he is the friend of education for
the people, and while always exercis-
ing great care of the public treasul V,
he will prove liberal to schools. Mr..
Carter is a temperate man, personally,
and a temperance man in the general
acceptance of that term, but he is not
ldiatIC uPpH inc quSstion, anu hls
knowledge of the world and OF the prac.
tical results of such legislation prevents
him from being a prohibiiionist. SC
that the sober, thinking element of oul
people may depend upon him for con-
sentative, wise action upon this sub
ject Nr. Carter will probably have
to vote OIL more than one thousand
propositions during the session. 1t i;
evid mt, therefore, that 1t will be i'm.
possible for him 10 always agree with
auv man who thinks for himslf. Thai
hi- ain will be in every vote he cast:
to do good TO his constituents and tc
the state we have no doubt.
