WILLIAM H. HOOD.
BAILEY p. WILLIAMSON.

Capt. Williamson is the Democratic can
didate for county treasurer. He has
served one term in that office and so emf
nently satisfactory was his administra-
ton that he had no opposition in the
primaries and his denomination was
unanimous. He is today perhaps the most
popular man in Wake county. His long
business training and fine executive abil-
ity make him a model official. He VIII
be reelected next Thursday, and by a
very large majority.

Captain Page is the only sheriff wake

big, broad mana leader in church
and State. A wise, deep, strong man.
Needham B. Broughton is one of the big
men of the State. A man without fear
and without reproach, he meets friend
and enemy with open frankness. He has
never turned his back on either and those
that he has helped in life might. for
their numbers, he gathered into brigade
Himself successful in life he is fond of
helping others to success. And now he
walks the paths of politics because he
believes his State and the white people
OF Wake county need his services. The
nomination came to him, not at his per-
sonal solicitation, but at that of his
friends. In the Senate he will be among
the leaders-a representative of which
the Metropolitan county will be proud
He will be elected and by such a majority
as no man, running for the same office
has ever received in Wake county His
career is an inspiration to every young
mechanic in the State. He went into a
printing office as boy and step by step
by his own industry and brains has risen
to his present position. He is today as

EUGENE c. BEDDINGFIELD.

Eugene c. Beddingfield has for ten years
been prominent in State politics. He
has taken part in. every campaign since
1890, and has held offices Of great trust
and honor. Once he has been in the Leg
islature and twice a member of the
Railroad and Corporation Commission.
To every public and private duty he has
been faithful He has the highest sense
of public duty and during his long ser
vice in office as Railroad Commissioner
no personal or political considerations in
fuenced his conduct. He is a modest
man-but in a political campaign he be-
comes fighter that few of his opponents
care to tackle. He is a farmer and
successful one, and he has always felt
terests, he was peculiarly the represen-
tative of the farmers and their interests.
JOHN P. PEARSON.
The life history of John p Pearson is
brief, but one to be proud of. His has,
been the uneventful career of a farmer
and school teacher. He has never sought
and never held any public position, but
he is man of such sterling qualities that
his neighbors have unbounded faith in
him, and believe him capable of filling
with ability and efficiency any office that
he would accept. Personally, John Pear
son is fine fellow-every inch of him.
He is strong, but lovable man, devoted
and constant in his friendships and
strong in his convictions. He reminds
one of nothing so much as of the tall
rugged pines of his native section of the
county. A clean, pure, honest mana
scholar and conference.-the will make
Wake county a splendid Representative.
ROBERT N. SIMMS.
Now, as in the past, Raleigh has some
brilliant young lawyers, but none that
have proved themselves the superior as
a campaigner to Mr.. Simms. His can
vass of the county has been the admira-
ton of his friends and the envy of po-
litical enemies. He is rarely good

ADMIRAL DEWEY IN COLUMBUS

COLUMBUS, O., June 6.-Promptly at
1 o'clock, Admiral Dewey's special train
rolled into the Union station over the
Burlington and Ohio road, and as he and
his party were escorted from the cars by
the special committee which met him at
Newark, an admiral's salute of seven
teen guns doomed out, inaugurating a
programme of entertainment which will
cover two days. The station was filled
with solid mass of cheering humanity,
all eyes eager for glimpse of the hero
of Manila bay
Headed by a platoon of police, the
party, accompanied by the Junia Hus-
sars, as a guard of honor, proceeded to
the Chittenden hotel, where quarters had
been reserved for the visitors After a
rest for two hours, the admiral was
driven to Columbus Driving park to
greet the old soldiers and sailors All
morning trains loaded with veterans of
three wars and sightseers from all sec
tons of the state arrived at theUnion
station, until at a conservative estimate
$4,000 strangers were present to join in
the welcome to the admiral During the
morning hours reunion of old soldires
and sailors was held at the driving park.

FLIGHTS MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE
~ 20 WASHINGTON ~. SOUTH

If the decision of Judge Pond Yesterday
Is sustained by the supreme court, then
chapters 8 and 10 of the city charter
under which the city has constructed
sewers for many years, is unconstitu-
tional. The decision of Judge Pond
is based on suit begun by the state
against former Gov John S. Pillsbury,
TO enforce payment of an assessment for
the constitution of a sewer on some prop
erty owned by him on Pleasant avenue.
Gov. -'illsbury refused to pay the as
sessment on the ground that it was ex-
cessive and unjust, and that the arbi-
trary rate of $3.50 a front foot levied
against all property for the construction
of sewers was, in many instances, far in
excess Of the cost of the Improvement
The governor claimed the cost was not
IN excess of SO cents a foot and Judge
Pond, in a decision and memorandum of
some forty-hve typewriter pages, sus-
tains his contentious. The amount levied
against the property was $715 90 a part
of which has been paid. Mr.. Pillsbury
rendered the county treasurer the amount
of his general taxes and sum equalng
the exact cost of the sewer in front of
his property. The treasurer refused to
accept it, and suit was brought The
result is that the special taxes are invali-
dated, and the governor is compelled to
pay but $3.50, the amount of the general
taxes assessed against the property.
The decision is far-rea cning, as it in
validates the methods employed in the
laying of water mains and sewers, prac-
tees which have been in vogue for many
years. The question that now arises is
whether those persons who have paid
their taxes in accordance with the regul-
lations Of the council can recover the diff
ference between their assessments and
the exact cost of the work in front of
their property.
This year the council ordered that all
water mains and sewers should be built
and the exact cost assessed against the
benefited property. The charter now be
fore the charter commission makes a
similar provision for the completion of
the work before assessments are made
Judge Ponds decision created conster-
nation in the city hall yesterday after
noon, and the estimates as to the amount
of money the city might have to re-
fund to those who have been overcharg-
ed for sewers ranged from the conserva-
tive estimate of Chief Clerk Cox, of the
engineering department, of $4,000 to a
half million by Aid. Powers.

Whereupon there was a contest with Mis-

There was considerable parliamentary
sparring throughout but Mrs Lowe, who
was n the chair, never lost control of
the convention for a minute. AS Is
known, Mrs. Lowe does not favor re-
organization, and she was therefore
pleased that most of the speakers were
against it. Mrs Brock, who was on the
other side, said that the discussio had
at least prepared the way for the reor-
gani"aion that must come sooner or
later
