so far escaped arrest. They have
been constantly pursued for over $50
miles. The two robbers are James

entire country, so that they are now
being pursued by posses from several
counties in a manner similar to that

Ed Roberts, the deputy killed, was
a former resident of Emporia, and
connected with some of the most in
f1uential Welsh families. The sheriff
of Marshal county arrived here about
sundown, weary and worn out. He
has followed the outlaws from Mary

this evening. He was taken in hand
by the officers here, and placed in

Simons For Senator.

To the Editor: Please allow me space
in your valuable columns to express my
sentiments and the sentiments of many
of my fellow citizens, who very seldom
go to the public prints to inform the
world just how they are thinking. We
are soon to select a successor to Marion
Butler, in the Seante of the United
States.
Already there are many candidates in
the field, all of whom are gentlemen of
worth, patriotism and Intelligence and
while l recognize their merits and be-
lieve that any of the candidates now be-
fore the people, would fittingly represent
North Carolina in the greatest intellect
ual body assembled on earth, yet at
this time it is our duty to elect the
ablest and most deserving man that lives
in the State, as our next United States
Senator. Now if there ever was sin
gle individual living in North Carolina
most deserving of that high position it
is our present Chairman of the Demo-
cratic Executive committee, Hon r. M.
Simmons If the good people of the State
owe a debt Of gratitude to any of it's
citizens, Mr.. Simmons comes in for the
largest share, and how are we to show
our appreciation in better way than
by putting the Fright man in the right
place." His was the guiding spirit that
led us to victory; now let's have him
enjoy some of tire fruits. That's the
way North Carolinians generally do.
Yours respectfully,
w. G. cox.

Gen. Carr For Senator.

To the Editor:-Dear Sir-We make no
pretence as a politician, but are simply
a plain business man, but when the time
comes for holding an important election,
we feel it our duty to vote for good
men and good government, and in the
coming primary to decide who shall be
our next representative in the United
States Senate, we shall deem it not only
pleasure but a duty to vote for Gen. j. s.
Carr for this exalted position, for we
consider him one of the trueSt of North
Cardinals sons He has done more than
any other man in North Carolina for the
relief of our poor, the upbuilding of the
State institutions, the cause of educa-
ton, etc; is a Democrat, pure and true,
and a man whom the people would love
to honor While he has done much along
this line, he has done it from a generous
heart and not for fame, and we believe
that he will have more influence on the
Senate floor than any man that can be
sent North Carolina. He will be
an honor to our Stae, and we hope that
North Carolina will send him to the SEN
ate by handsome majority This is from
a common citizen-you who have the in
terests of his State at heart.
Yours for Democracy,

pie are now desired to impress with the
zeal of their favor and to thus perpet-
uate indefinitely.
"In the defeat of the Republican party
in the coming election lies the only hope
of the reversal of those policies and OF
the beginning of a return to more whole
some conditions. Such a defeat would be
all the more significant and emphatic
because obviously due to the cooperation
of citizens in many things quite at odds
with the Democratic party and its lead
ership. And it is a defeat that should
come now and not later because not to
reject McKinleyism at once tends 10
fasten it permanently upon the vitals OF
the country.
"For myself therefore, l find it toler-
ably clear that citizens duty in connec-
ton with the coming Presidential cleo
tion not only permits but requires him
to desire the success of the Democratic
party.

REPUBLICAN primaries were held in
five counties last Saturday for the pur-
pose Of nominating Legislative eandi-
dates, and in every instance the Stall
warts made a clean sweep. The only
issue was that of party regularity and
the right Of the msjority 10 rule, and
the result was reputation Of the bolt
ers and party disorganizers who refused
10 abide by the Legislative caucus. In
Ne Ger county three Of the four Mem
hers ofthe Legislature followed the lead
ership of the notorious ''oosses'' Of Phil
adelphia and Pittsbarg- Dave Martin
,lnd Bill Fiinn-and they have been
humiiiAted and turned down by the
voters, who have nominated solid
delegation of Stalwsrts, men who be-
lieve in party regularity, to represent
them at Harrisburg next winter. The
Republican sentiment of the State is
thoroughly aroused on this important
issue, and it is becoming evident that
the millionaire politicians who boasted
that they had raised a fand of $500 600
with which to corrup; the Republican
voters of the State, will be repudiated at
every election to be heid from now on.
