How The Democratic Sheriff of Granville Pulled

How The Democratic Sheriff of Granville Pulled
through. Big Gains Everywhere.
A letter from Macon county, says the
wires have been cut since the lynchina
ON Monday night, and that has delayed
election returns. j. Frank Ray was re-
elected to the House by 81 majority;
j. Ii. billiard, Democrat, was given 81
majority for the Senate; for solicitor,
Ferguson gets 101 majority; for Con
Sress, Crawford received 1,066, Pear
son 964; for Democratic judges, 1,051;
Republican judges, 971.
An Allegheny correspondent writes:
Allegheny has gone Democratic from
200 to 400 Gambill, Democrat, defeats
Higgins, Independent, for the House by
100 majority. Fields, for the Senate,
carries the county by about $50, and is
elected in the district. After the hard
est fight ever known the entire Demo
cratic ticket is elected over the Repub-
licans and Independents of this county
by good majorities."
One of the best of the fights that did
not win was made by Mr.. st. Leon Scull,
nominee for the Senate in Northampton
and BERTHE. Two years ago Early, Rep
Pop. was elected by 1900, and Mr..
Soul reduced the majority by LOO.
He carried his home precinct by 200,
and lacked only 26 votes of carrying
BERTHE county. That is Il record for
Mr.. Scull to be proud of and his people
will remember his great work for De
nlocracy.
The North Carolina preachers did
more to win the campaign than the poll
ticians. Those at home worked and
prayed, and those abroad prayed and
sent word of cheer. Rev. DR.. T.. Ed
mondson, member of the North Carolina
Conference chaplain in the Navy now
stationed at the United States Naval
Home. at Philadelphia, writes:
To the News and Observer:
Congratulations on your splendid sue
cess, Congratulations to the white peo-
pie of North Cardinal The negro shall
never again rule in the good Old North
State / rejoice with the Anglo-Saxon
fathers. mothers. brothers and sisters of
North Carolina.
Faithfully,
wv. e. EDMONDSON"
The dispersed abroad are happy over
the result. The native North Caro-
linians who are living elsewhere send
greetings to their friends. Mr.. Geo. ID.
Roberts, formerly the Newbern CORE
spondent of the News and Observer, now
residing at Philadelphia, writes:
ITO the News and Observer:
Congratulations on your victory! No
more cheerful news to me was flashed
on the canvas in this city last night,
than when it read: North Carolina
strongly Democratic, ETC.
When | read this | knew that the
white men of honor, who loved their
State had rallied to the call Of Simmons
and the Democratic press to vote the
White Mans ticket. and forever put an
end TO ignorant negro rule. Again ac-
cept my congratulations.
GEO. ID. ROBERTS,
The Winston Journal dominates Hon.
+. M. Simmons to succeed Butler III the
Senate, and says this shows what the
Journal thinks of Chairman Simmons
and his magnificent leadership
Yesterdays Goldsboro Argus says:
ION Sunday before the election, after
making a splendid fight over his big
district our esteemed townsman Hon.
/. A. Daniels, was taken sick, and has
been confined to his bed for several
days, but is now able to sit up. The
next Senate of North Carolina will have
no better man in it than +. A. Daniels.
An able lawyer, and Il man of the high
est character, no Senatorial district in
the whole State will be better represent
ed. Hurry up, Senator, get well and
come out and rejoice with u.s.
The Durham Herald tells how close
the vote for Sheriff was in Granville:
1T is learned that the Democratic can
didate for sheriff of Granville county
was elected by majority of five votes.
He can thank Colonel j. s. Carr for the
fact that he was elected at all for he
made it possible. There We're six men
in this city who were entitled to vote
in Granville, who did not feel able to
spend the money to go home to vote and
would not have done so, but for the fact
that Colonel Carr heard that they did
not intend to vote and furnished them
money to go home. They went and
voted the Democratic ticket, thus elect
ing the sheriff"
