our people and inquire the cause of

first OF all, the minds of our people.
We think such a tendency is extreme
~ unfortunate at this juncture Of our
political life. If this be a fair sample
OF primary work, then we say let il
cease at once. and never be further
INFUSED into party experience.
We have four of North Cardinals
best citizens before us without q ques-
ton, each is qualified. from ability, Elk
perience and party affiliations; with
the high and noble traits of suitable
ness, to fill the exalted seat of United
States Senator, and we further be-
lieye that. with these facts before us,
their relative merits should quietly
rest with each intelligent Democratic
voter to east an unbiased vote for his
choice of these four equals.
But what do we see? A hOtly con-
tested discussion. as to each individual
mans preference and, unfortunately, If
possible, we find this contention di-
rected, not to the merits of each, but
to the dement's of each. Yes, every
little smirch of private life would be
used to stain the high and spotless
character of these champions of our
cause. if necessary, in order to gain
vote for a special favorite.
So far as we can see, Judging from
the warming up, contentious among
the friends of each, this wrangle bids
fair to result in almost as much bitter
ness and political strife, as though
they belonged to contending parties of
different political parties.
Gentlemen, stop, call a halt, and
count the result before we strike the
fatal blow. Let peace prevail.
We claim that either one of these
recognized leaders would adorn the
place: and defend the good name, hon
or and interest Of North Carolina.
Let us, therefore. not persist in this
fight, in trying to uphold our
personal preference to the INJURY, II
possible, of a worthy competitor.
There is much danger that our
wanted enthusiasm for Kitchin, of the
Second district, may weaken, in the
presence of this heated Senatorial
contest. We cannot afford at thls
iuncture to allow such an unfortunate
possibility.
We repeat, let this primary work

Carr For Senator.
Windsor, n. c

tn the Editor:-While / believe every
one of the excellent gentlemen who are
before us as candidates for United states
Senator are friends of the farming class,
I desire to call attention to the facts IN
favor of General Carr, It is well known
that the great enemies of the farmers are
the trusts. Every one of them is against
the interests of the farmer, but the to-
baeco trust has robbed him of hundreds
of millions and a few men are now luxu-
Rating in the spells of this trust. 1t IS
also we'll known that Gen. Carr would
not go into the tobacco trust. He knew
there were millions in it, but he also
knew that these millions had to be wrung
from the poor farmer. None of us viii
ever know the temptations that he had
TO resist. He was doubtless taken by
argument from gentlemen of high social
and political standing and made to view
from the mountain top the riches and
bonors of the world if he would bow down.
He would not do it. He believed that
the means to be used were wrong and he
refused and retired from the great bust
ness that he had built UP, and which
was the Pride Of his life He gave it up
rather than be a party to a system that
he felt would be ruinous to part of his
fellow countrymen In my humble o2in-
ion this noble self-sacrifcing act on the
part of Gen. Carr should bring to him the
support of every man who hates the trust
and loves honor. Especially does this
man stand out as the friend of the farm
err. not only the tobacco farmer, but all,
for the interest of one is the interest Of
all. / believe that the farmers will show
that they appreciate man who has thus
nroven himself to be their friend in the
face of great temptation.

JoHNSoN'S CASE HOPELESS.
Futile Efforts of the Police to Find
His AssniIant

His AssniIant.
Sheriff Williams, OF Montgomery County
Nd, appeared at Police Headquarters last
night and held a conference with Inspector
Boardman about the apprehension of the
assailant of Albert Johnson, the plumber
who was fatally wounded Sunday night
at Cabin John Bridge. Detectives Peck and
HernGon were later assigned to assist the
Maryland authorities. and late last night
a clew was being followed which promised
TO produce good results. 1t is thought the
name OF the probable murderer is known TO
the police, yet no arrests have been made
Several parties who witnessed the as
sault upon johnson were seen last night
The detectives took three men to the First
precinct station during the evening. but
those who were present when the crime
was committed were unable to identify
either of them as the assailant They were
then released. and their names were with
held. Deputy Sheriff Embrey is at work
upon the case at Cabin John Bridge. He
has learned little of value.
At the Georgetown Hospital last night
the condition of johnson WIS reported crit
ical. His death is hourly expected. No
hope for his recovery is held out by the
physicians. who claim that an operation
upon the fractured skull would be useless.
