The ticket selected by the Demo-
cratic State convention is a good one
as a whole. We suppose every other
man of intelligence would have made
it different here and there We would
have made few changes, and so
would most voters. But as an entire
ty it is a strong ticl1et-a winning
ticket
The ticket is a good one, as a whole,
we repeat. 1t is as good a ticket as we
have seen since the great war ended

Tt is a clear-cut and straight-for-
ward ticket, composed of able men, and
headed by Cyrus B. Watson, of For
syth. He is man of uncommon abil-
tiles and is powerful political fighter.
He is honest, frank, open-hearted, and
has no concealment of his opinions.
He will make a most telling and en-
thusiastic campaign. The entire ticket
is composed of gentlemen worthy of
the confidence and support of the peo-
pie of North Carolina.-Durham Sun.

WILL PAY OUT.
Last Of Mrs. g. F. Fishers Judgment
to Be Paid Soon.

Abilene will soon be free OF all
judgments against the city except
what may accrue from the Wright
case now in the appellate court. The
last Of the Cowperthwait judgment
was paid during the winter and the
amount still due on the old bridge
bond matter will be paid in June. 1t
was generally supposed that this was
liquadated. Mrs. G. +. Fisher, sister
OF DR.. J. M. Hodge, owned the judg-
ment which was secured by the late
G.. +. Fisher on Grant town
ship bonds held by him Of which
Abilene is paying her share
and about $4,000 was paid on it some
time ago. Through insufficient levy
there was not quite enough available
to pay all accrued interest, costs etc. ,
so that something like $500 is yet
due. In the treasury is now about
$3.50 and there will be enough cash in
the fund to pay the whole sum to
Mrs. Fisher when the June tax pay
ment comes.

FROM RAMONA TO JACOBS.
The Santa Fe Changes the Name Of q
South Dickinson Town.

The Santa Fe station OF Ramona In
south Dickinson will hereafter be
known as Jacobs The change Is
made in response to petition from
the citizens and businessmen Ct the
town Of Ramona.
AT that point the Santa Fe and
Rock Island roads run near together.
The Rock Island however is in the
town, while the Santa Fe station Is
about two miles distant.
Considerable confusion resulted, as
goods shipped to Ramona on the
Santa Fe would nearly always pass
that place and have to be hauled back
from Hope, the next station.
A large number Of the citizens Of
Ramona petitioned the board Of rail-
road commissioners to change the
name Of the Santa Fe stopping place.
The company had no objection and
the name Of Jacobs was substituted.
