"MORE THAN 4 MATCH"

The following editorial paragraph
from the Philadelphia Record shows
how our North Carolina interests are
regarded in the city OF "Brotherly
Love-"
"a Democratic appeal comes up
from North Carolina against fragrant
abuses of the Civil Service law by Fed
eral officials in that State. Chairman
Simmons, of the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee of North Carolina,
writes that since the opening OF the
campaign these officials have grossly
abused their power by attempting to
control both the Republican and Pop
ulist nominations and by exercising
constraint upon voters. It Is not like
ly that the chairman's appeal to the
Civil Service Commission will have
any affect In this Presidential cam
paign the CIVIL Service law is silent.
But we believe that the Democrats OF
North Carolina will be more than a
match for their Republican and Pop
ulist opponents, backed by the whole
power of the Federal administration"

Letter to Mr.. ]. R. Proctor.

Scotland Neck, n. G..
Dear Sir Why is it that people
continue to be mis-led by the cry, .Use
the lead your grandpa did,"
Oil is the life OF paint and not white
lead. Lead chalks and admits moisture
to the wood it is supposed to pro-
tect. l.. & NJ. Paint supplies elastic
and non-chalkable coatings that pre-
serve the wood. Most of your work ls
done by contract, and you can't afford
to pay man for the time he takes in
breaking up lead. When you use L.
& M. Paint on a contract job, the
house owner not only has your guaran-
tee and the agents guarantee, but our
own guarantee OF satisfaction. It is
backed by % years Of making the best
paint, and the sale Of four million

TOO FREQUENT ELECTIONS.

For six years THE COMMONWEALTH
has been convinced that our elections
In North Carolina are too frequent
And more than once on the very eve
of an important election we have writ
ten cur opinion on the subj ect.
Again we write on the eve of the
greatest and most significant contest
our people have engaged in for gen.
Grafton and we declare once more that
our elections are too frequent. There
are many good reasons for such q POSI-
ton, and any one can find them if he
will but think little.
Once in every two years we have the
renewal of strife, bitterness and ili-feel-
Ing, which are engendered by a hot
political contest; and before these feel
ings are forgotten and quiet is restored
another campaign opens and the strife
is all renewed.
The farmers OF the State, the bust
ness men and the professional men
scarcely have time to turn their minds
to their vocatlons before they are call
ed upon to take a stand again on this
side or that.
Besides the bad feeling that such
frequent contests engender, there is In
calcuable expense attached to 1t.
To be sure, no white man or patriot
In North Carolina can for a moment
begrude single day or hour or
week or month that has been spent
In this present campaign in the inter-
est Of the Amendment for the bless
lngs that will come to the State
through the Amendment will repay for
all the expenses Of time and money.
But we speak OF elections generally.
They are SO frequent that nothing
seems settled for even a years time.
Let us have our elections not oftsner
than once in four years. With such 4
change there would come a peaceful
result to the State that would greatly
aid the people In the pursuits which
make fortunes for some and bread for
all.
We write before we know the result
OF to-day's election; but we plead for
elections to be less frequent.

marched the five men ont through u

three horses waiting. The men were
kept covered with guns until the DIES.

capped. An alarm was quickly given
and several shots were fired at the
desperadoes as they sped through town,
but without effect. The robbers re-.
turned the shots, but no one was hit.
The officers and armed citizens have
started in pursuit and a posse has also
started from Golconda to head them

bers is in the neighborhood OF $l5, 600.
