He worked hard to obtain a public

SIMMONS FOR SENATOR.
Some Cogent Reasons Why He Ought
to be Elected.
(kin,tOn Free Press) }.

Mr. ID. p Earchern, of Red Springs.
writes in favor of Hon. F. NJ. Sim
mons for the L, S. Senate as follows:
What Gen. Lee was to the army
of Northern Virginia Simmons was to
the hosts that marched to the ballot
boxes last August. He had able lieu
tenants to assist him, SO had Gen.
Lee, but if Lee had succeeded no one
doubts that the highest honors of the
Confederacy would have been given
him. When Butler threatened to
have every registrar arrested so that
the election would fail by default,
every eye was turned on Simmons
for some recourse from such an issue.
If Simmons pulls us through the
amendment | am in favor of giving
him anything he wants. was COM
mon remark on every side. We owe
Simmons the senatorship, and let
us be honest and manly, and pay our
just debts"
Every word of the above is true.
If Simmons is defeated it will be a
Republican victory. The Republic

should be loved for the enemies he
has made. He has accomplished
great good for the State. 1t would
be ungrateful not to recognize his
services by electing him to the
United States Senate
When Simmons represented, and
with much ability, the second dis
trict in congress, he made great
fight againt cotton bagging trust and
helped to force that evil com bination
to let loose its hold for a time upon
the pockets of the cotton farmers SO
strong fight did he make on this
trust. that it and other trusts spent
extra money and efforts and defeated
him fer reelection.
Simmons is man of great ability.
His letter to Mckinley regarding in
reference in the election by federal
officials was one of the strongest
documents of the campaign and
showed Simmons to be a very bio
man He has always been able to
grasp the situation in North Carolina

and direct and make the fight sue
cessfully for good government. He
is fully equipped mentally to cope
with the enemies of good government
in North Carolina. He will be able
to successfully repel any attacks that
the enemies of the South NAV make
in the Senate on North Carolina and
the amend ment.
The Winston journal says:
The fact that the Republicans of
this State would do anything they
could to effect Mr.. Simmons defeat.
is proof that they regard him as an
able and dangerous foe, and if for no
other reason (but there are many,
this should be sufficient to stimulate
the Democracy of this State to more
determined effort to make him But

Promises a Bright Future.
fLumberton Robesonian)

The unusually large enrolment of
students at the various schools which
have opened Throughout, the State in
dictates a greater realization Of the
advantages and necessity of educa-
ton than heretofore. Whether this
movement has been stimulated by
the strong work Of, the amendment
campaign, or whether it is due to
other causes and considerations. it is
an unmistakable mark of progress,
which if persevered in will place North
Carolina in the front rank of those
States which stand highest in educa-
tional advancement.
Such manifestations of interest in
our schools promise bright future
for them and assures their greater
usefulness in the development of
the children of our State.

Good Reasons for Supporting Sim

(Ienoir Topic.)

Three able men have announced
themselves as candidates to succeed
Butler in the United States Senate.
They are all good men, but the Topic
will support Mr.. Simmons, because,
in the first place, it believes he is fully
as able as the others, and because it
believes that there would have been
no seat in the Senate in sight for
either Of them but for the able leader

and will wear it worthily.

sor. There are some persons who are

pointment, but under existing circum-
stances this appears 10 be very i'm
probable.
liz is evident that the members of
the board Will not confirm any other
person except Mr.. Smith, and the SEN
lIment was SO emphaticaIiy defined yes

tempts TO put another person in his
place would be loss Of time. Whether
--ayor Baker Will call a special meet
ing and nominate Mr.. Smith, or wheth-
er he will make no further nomination
at all is question. The law provides
that the commissioner OF public works
shall be nominated and confirmed in
the month OF February, and II certain
ly now looks as IL Mr.. Smith would
hold over for three years.
