not the people entitled to the privilege
of voting for that man? And with the
free, unfettered, lightly falling ballot, let
them elect their wisest and best citizen to
this high and dignified position.
| know a perfect candidate is an idle
dream, but we should have a man whose
patriotism glows with an ardor so intense
as to consume all selfish ambition; whose
craftsmanship can find a remedy for our
many wrongs, and that will shine UNI
dimmed in the presence of the world S
most learned representatives; whose
wisdom and virtue will command
the respect of courts and kings, and new
er bring shame to the good people OF
good old North Carolina; whose learn
ing and logic will illuminate and eluci-
date the complex problems of govern
ment that come under the concentrated
rays of their earnest Investigation;
whose purity of life is such that we
can point our sons and the young men
of the State to our beloved and distin-
guished Senator as an inspiration and
example of right living throughout the
coming years.
AS one who approaches as near to this
high standard as any man in the State,
/ want to name as a candidate lot UnlJeQ
States Senator Hon. H. g. Conner. our
present Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives.
He is young, yet experienced; able
and wise, yet pure; a North Carolinian
without guile a good lawyer and a
good man. He is familiar with our con-
stitutional amendment, having had much
to do with it's passage by the Legisla-
ture being Speaker Of the House, and
has the modest dignity and legal ability
to command the respect of any tribunal,
care not how august and learned, in its
defence.
He will be an honor to North Carolina,
and her people will delight to do him
honor. This is written without the knowl
edge or consent of Judge Conner, and
with the hope that he will put himself
in the hands of his friends, and not
forbid them to vote for him.
If he does not / for one, will vote
for him, and l know many others who
will do likewise with pleasure and pride.
Respectfully,

Hon. H. G. Conner For Senator.


To the Editor:-Why are SO many peo
pie in doubt as to whom they will vote
for as United States Senator, at the pri
mary in November?
And why do so many say, they may
not vote for any one yet named?
Does it not show that the peoples
ideal of United States Senator is not
met by any of the gentlemen who have
announced themselves?
And does not the necessity of these
formal announcements for so high and
dignified position, show the same thing?
This being true have not the Demo-
Gratis of North Carolina the right to vote
for whoever they think most highly quail
flied for Senator?
Does not every Democrat in the State
stand ready to serve his country in any
position to which the sovereign people
may elect him, whether he formally an
nounces himself or not?
Surely, there are not many who would
decline a seat in the United States Sen
ate.
None of the gentlemen mentioned for
Senator is without merit.
Each of them is possessed of certain
qualities of mind and character that en-
title them to favorable consideration at
the hands of their fellow citizens; and
should command recognition and recon-
pense.
But if they do not measure up in every
particular to that high standard of pa
triotism, craftsmanship, wisdom and vir-
tue which the people of our State have
fixed in their minds, as marking and
distinguishing a United States Senator,
then if there is such man, even though
he is too modest to announce himself
and proclaim his service to the party
and his people, or too. poor to canvass
the State and organize his friends to
battle for his success at the primary, are

THE ASsAssINs CAUGHT.
The Meu Who Attacked Registrar Carr Are to
be Punished.
(Kinston Free Press.)

Some time ago, just previous to the
election, it will be remembered that MIR.
r. r. Carr, of near Willow Green, Greene
county, was assaulted by two negroes.
He was struck several times over the
head with a chair by one of them and
was severely injured. The negroes es-
capped, and reward of 500 was offered
for their capture. We have heard it ru-
mored that one of the fellows was cap
tured in Greene county. All traces of the
other one, Albert Barrett, was lost until
last night, when Detective j. Geo. Wolfe
and officer f. NJ. Barham, of Norfolk,
Va, came to Kinston from that city,
bringing the negro to Kinston, and plac-
ing him in Jail. They left early this
morning for Snow Hill with their pris-
oner where they will claim the reward.
The negro has been Swallowed in Norfolk
for several days, and when his identity
was beyond question the arrest was
made. He was simply paralyzed with
fear.

Simmons For Senator.

To the Edito:-The time is draw
ing near when we must decide who will
succeed Butler as United States Senator,
and we have three men of the highest
type of Democracy who have announced
their candidacy for that place. We are
glad that we can point to one Of them
with pride, and say that it was by and
through his wise management in '9S that
the hordes of negro domination were
broken in North Carolina, and finally
buried on the I'd day of last August once
and for all time.
Now, we are glad that we have the OPP
portunity of honoring him by voting for
him on 9th day of November for United
States Senator. That man is Hon. F. NJ.
Simmons. A man that the people of any
State might well be proud Of He is to
the people of North Carolina what Moses
was to the children of Israel.
All that we might say would not add
to or detract from the strength of either
of the candidates, put well do we remem-
Der what the State endured from '94 to
'9S. We cannot forget who our general
was that conducted our great army of
white men that rolled the dark cloud of
negro domination from our good old
State, the I'd day of last August.
1t is impossible to estimate the value
of Mr. Simmons to this State, and we
believe that he justly deserves any office
within the gift of the people. We have
as yet to find a man in our section who
will not vote for Mr. Simmons that voted
the Democratic ticket last August. For
the Democrats we'll remember some
thing of his service to the party and
State, and will not forget it before the
9Th day of next November

AMI knowing that Mr.. Lincoln had

ONE WAY TO SPOIL A BOY.

No parent who has sincere regard
for the welfare of his son will permit
him to start out as an amateur printer.
Amateurs never amount to much In
anything, but owing to the peculiar
character Of the printing business, not
one in a hundred who begins as an
amateur ever becomes a first-class
-<-SslzzAaas.- n-Grst sight, printing
seems to be so easy that most every
boy imagines he can master the whole
art in few months. After he be-
gins and gets along to where he can
deliver work that is trife more read
able than copy" and is not at all
offset, his appetite is whetted by the
money he has received for it from
good-natured or charitably-d disposed
friends, and he imagines that all he
needs in order to make a large for
tune very quickly. is a larger and
more expensive outfit. So the kind
parent puts his hand into his pocket
or his name upon note, and young
America has his heart desire. What
then? Failure in almost every case
and not only failure, but very often a
life practically thrown away for he
who has never been taught, and has
prematurely been allowed to be his
own master, gets to be incapable of
learning or doing anything thorough
1y. You might just as well expect
an old dog to learn new tricks as an
amateur printer to learn to be first
class workman.
The moral of this is, that if a boy
desires to become printer, his pa
rents should put him into a printing
Office and have him taught the bust
ness regularly. There is just as much
aeed for him to study the art of print
ing as there is for a candidate for the
bar to study the principles of law.
Furthermore, amateur printers are an
unmitigated nuisance, as a general
thing. for they are not content to
print for their own edifcation, but in
sist upon forcing their meretricious
productions upon consumers who
would prefer, if left to themselves, to
pay fair price for decent work. -

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

He fell on his knees before her.
81 will do anything to prove my love
for you," he said. 81 will go to the
ends of the earth, if necessary. Nc
task that you may set me can be too
difficult, too hazardous. Only tell
me what can do to convince you-"
ooh, you might marry me-" she
suggested simply. Taking every
thing into consideration, it finally
occurred to him that possibly the idea
was a good one. After all, it is not
SO hard to prove ones love as it some
times seems.
