MAN
Especial to virginian-Pllot.)


Tarboro. N. c., Sept. 1O.-It is with
great regret that your correspondent
learns of the resignation of Donnell
Gillian as chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee of Edgecombe
county; but that he has resigned is a
fact. Under his matchless leadership
Edgecomb has always been on the right
side, and his continued success as
chairman is due not only to his un-
| questioned ability, but to his almost
universal popularity. But while he has
resigned as chairman on account of
great pressure of private business
which was neglected during the August
campaign, he is by no means lost as
prominent figure in politics and will
always give his untiring efforts to the
success of Democracy and it's candi-
oates by his superb management of
the diiferent campaigns he has made
the State of North Carolina as we'll as
the county of Edgecombe his perma-
nent dobtor, and with so enviable a re-
cord one may well be satisfied. His
successor has been chosen in the per-
son of Mr.. ID. II. Bats, Il prominent
young Democrat of the county. and
your correspondent takes pleasure in
testifying to fitness of the choice.
THE SENATORIAL PRIMARY.
The Senatorial primary which has
been ordered is beginning to excite
some little interest and comment here
anu in the surrounding country. All
express satisfaction at the method of
determining who shall be the choice of
the Democrats. or the three known
candidates for the nomination, Hon. f.
M. Simmons is Al strong favorite. and,
were 1t left to ItdSecombc alone to de-
eide. he would receive the nomination
with very little. If any, opposition.
Surely MIR. Simmons deserves the honor
and Edgecombe, true to her past re-
NtstlI oil ~
give the honor where 1T is most justly
deserved
