JOHN Il. SUIT,

Register of Deeds of Durham County.
Prompt and faithful service is sure TO
bring its own reward, as amply demon
strated in the case of John e. SUIT,
Durham county's faithful and progress
sive register of deeds.
Mr. Suit is a North Carolinian by
birth. and first saw the light of day IN
that portion of Wake county which now
belongs to Durham county in 1887. HIS
youth was passed in securing an educa-
ton. obtained at the old field school
Subsequently he engaged in farming until
1889, when he engaged in the mercantile
business at his native home, Oak Grove
township.
Mr.. Suit has served his township as
constable and made an excellent record
in that position lie has also served
as a deputy sheriff under each of the
Democratic sherffs Durham county mas
had.
In 1898 Mr. Suit made the race for
the position of register of deeds, ana
was elected after hard fought cam
paign by majority of 541 votes. Inc
selection was wise one as time has
shown He deyotes his entire time ana
attention to the details of the position,
and is polite and courteous to one and
all
There is a complete absence of all red
tape about his office that is delightful to
see His work shows care, and taken
in all its phazes IS not only crtdlt
to Mr.. Suit nut likewise upon the
public who elected him to the position,
In politics Mr.. Suit is Democrat Of
answering principles and has always
fought for the advancement OF the party,
believing it TO be the only party of the
people. As citizen Mr. Suit is thor
oughy progressive. and believes in push
ing both Durham and Durham county to
the front, and is always ready and will
ing to aid any enterprise tending in that
direction. He is a member of the Bap-
list Church. In conclusion, let rs say
that to just such honorable and upright
men Durham county owes her present
high standing among the progressive
counties of the State.

department is given special attention
and is under the supervision of an eX-
pert who fills prescriptions and COM
pounds medicines with absolute accuracy
and dispatch. The neatness and taste
full appearance of the stock and the great
success attending the business is due
to the acumen and business ability of j.
A. Dodson, Phi. c., the hustling and wide
awake manager, who devotes his entire
time and attention to the conduct of
the business. He spent seven years in
the literary department and three years
in the pharmaceutical department Of

diploma from both departments.
In 1895 he made his advent into Dur
