To the Editor:-Being deeply interested
in the cause of education in the State,
actively and continuously in touch with
the schools Of my own county, I would
feel that l had disregarded a God-serv-
ing privilege and become neglectful of my
duty to the coming generation, were not
ia raise my voice in behalf Of the one
man of all others who has in that sub
stantial way become the greatest financial
friend to education that ever lived in
North Carolina. At this time, after
years of struggling and encouragement,
the forces that work for education in the
State are looking forward with confidence
to the future. it is fitting that the men
who have given their lives to it's interest
and the young men who have entered
strongly equipped into useful life by
reason of such efforts, should combine to
do honor to that noble man, who has done
more than any other towards accom-
plishing that intellectual uplifting of the
boys and girls of the State, and who has
ever sought to quicken and sustain the
work and progress of educa ton, that man
whose name is written in the history
of well-nigh every institution of learn
ing within our borders.

financial power, Julian S. Carr has pre-
served in every stage of a brilliantly su:-
cessful career the same warm hearted

same generous impulses to assist those
who labor under the handicaps of circum-

taneous, open handed and all-embracng
1t has been felt daily in individual in
stances, among all closes, in aid to all
kinds of enterprises in help Of all Chris

rior motives, SO buoyant so evidently from
the heart Of the man himself, that it has
become matter of course" in North
Carolina. Yes he has given because he
couldn't help it, his heart has beat and
his hand has opened, one as natural as
the other; it is the very nature Of the
man.
But more particularly has he looked
to the schools of the State with that
clear insight that has marked his life.
he has realized that the greatest oppor-

which to fashion for themselves a mate

Carr For Senator
Greensboro,

To the Editor: We have four
good Democrats who have de-
clared themselves candidates for the
United States Senate, and for the first
time we, the people, are to say who it
shall be. Let us consider them and their
claims Jarvis, Waddell, Simmons and
Carr. What a noble quartet! All have
done good work for the Democratic
party: Jarvis, one year Lieutenant Gov
ernor seven years Governor, for four
years sent to South America as Minister,
an unexpired term in the United States
Senate. and time and again has he rep
resented us in the Legislature; and he
served Us well. and the Democrats de-
lighted to heap all these honors and good
paying offices on him. The Hon. A. M.
Wadden the polished and scholarly gen.
tleman that he is, served us well when
we sent him to represent us in Congress;
and also as mayor of the largest city in
the State, and the Legislature, etc. And
the Hon. f. NJ Simmons reflected honor
on his position during the years he filled
a seat in the halls of Congress, and was
attentive to his business and served us
well during all those years that he held
one Of the highest and best paying places
in the revenue service. We thought so
paid him over thirty Shousand dollars for
padi him over thirty thousand dollars for
what he has done. We delighted to heap
these honors, and the money that these
offices brought upon these faithful men.
They did WELL and we rewarded them.
Gen. ]. S. Carr No one knows of the
unnumbered ways in which this man has
been a benefit to every interest of the
State and its people. He has done more
for the cause of education, helped more
people who needed it, and in the best
way helped people to help themselves.
Freely has he received and freely has he
given. And though he has never held an
office he has done as much for the DEM
ocratic party as any man in the State.
His check book has been almost entirely
at the disposal of the Democratic State
chairman, and he has pulled us over
many a rough place. And this was done
without the hope of personal reward, for
at that time he was president of the
Durham Bull Smoking Tobacco Company
and there was an agreement between him
and the directors that he was not to hold
any political office. But now he is under
no such obligation, and it is a pardonable
pride in him to wish to be our United
States Senator and of his fitness there
can be no question. There is no man in
the State who would reflect more honor
on us, and he is the man for the place.
And, with no disparagement of the others,
l do hope we will, on the 9Th of November,
give big majority to Gen. ]. S. Carr.
Respectfully yours,
F. N. EGERTON.

Carr For Senator.

To the Editor: Will you allow little
space in your paper to an old subscriber
who has known Julian S. Carr from his
youth up, and a better, truer, or more
noble hearted man never lived. l sin
cerely believe that the best interest of
our dear old State will be best served
by the election of him to the United
States Senate. He is one of the most
energetic and successful business men in
North Carolina.
What North Carolina needs more than
anything else is thorough business men
State and National, and then the people
may look for better times, and not until
then. He is with the people and is
directly interested in everything in the
State that is looking to the bettsAment
of her people. The people of North Car
Dina will make no mistake in electing
him 10 the United States Senate. Julian
S. Carr has for the last twenty years
worked for the interest Of the working
men of the State, and has always been
ready to lend helning hand to the poor
and needy. He is the best friend of the
poor man in the State. There is no man
in the State that has done more for the
Democratic party than Julian S. Carr.
Now let us show our appreciation of him
by sending him to the United States
Senate. D. M'CAULEY.

and recognized beyond the limits of the
State as our most representative bust
ness man. Our face is to the future AS
observed by Colonel Creecy, it is not
what these four men have done. it is
what they can do. 1t rises above the
question Of reward for past services.
Waddell was 66 years of age last week
0Gth p; Jarvis will be 65 in January
QSth; Carr will be So in October Q2th),
and Simmons is only 45. Thus it will be
seen that Waddell and Jarvis are rather.
old to begin Senatorial career of years,
for an election, by the unwritten laws of
the party, means more than one term.
Simmons is in vigorous health and is
young enough to wait. Carr alone is at
the ideal age for a Senator, and is in
the full zenith of all his matured powers.
Thus is he superbly quipped-superbly
fit and superbly worthy. These are at
least the considerations that appeal so
strongly to the manufacturer, the bankel
the merchant, the farmer, the mechanic,
the laborer, and all classes and conditions
of voters of this county, and which make
old Guilford absolutely certain for Carr
by an enthusiastic and overwhelming
majority. }. NJ. WOLFE.

To the Editor:-By common consent we
ell have the right to decide for ourselves.
Therefore no one should be offended if
we think and act different. With this
understanding l hope if some differ in
their choice for our next United States
Senator no one will act in bad taste to
find fault--hard sayings. We now have
four heightened, Christian gentlemen ask
ing Democrats to support them in the
coming Senatorial primary. Each one
would be an honor to our State, and we
only regret we cannot vote for each one
of them. AS we have to select one only
we should do so with great care, not by
some undue influence, but think for our
selves as to the right one and the most
deserving one. Let us reason: In the
first place no one will refuse to admit
that Mr.. Simmons managed the political
ship OF Democracy before the August
election, that he safely landed her where
there was no longer doubt but what the
next Senator would be a Democrat to
take the place of Mr.. Butler, and North
Carolina would again take her place
where she was in days gone by when
she was represented my brains, instead
OF sounding brass
And this is all. Where do you flnd Mr'
Simmons now; is he canvassing the State
as others are doing, in their own inter-
est? No. You find him at his post, the
same place he was before the August
election; again planning and arranging
for another Democratic victory in No
vember, as much to the interest OF MS
opponents as for himself.
Mr. Simmons has simply taken his claim
and interest and placed the same at the
feet Of the great Democratic party, say
ing, you know what | have done in the
past and what | am now doing for you;
Judge for yourselves, and do what you
think best with by claim, and l will will
lngly submit Believing this to be true,
the great host of the Democrats OF North
Carolina have decided that Hon. F. NJ.
Simmons should and will be our next
United States Senator.

cognized and sought to make available

best and most successful philanthropy.

be impossible to estimate the extent or
his influence upon education in the state.
Many institutions of learning and one OF
the States foremost colleges owe their ex-
istence to his generosity; there is not
school or church that has asked help
from him in vain.
Alike in the green campus OF the UNI
yersity and at Trinity College magnificent
buildings bear witness to his active love
and at the cross-r roads school house,
where education strikes perhaps, its best
blows. his name stands as synonym Tor
all that is generous and helpful. What
he has done for education has been sim
gularly unmixed with either self-interest
or craftsmanship; it has been from the
pure heart within him, he has sown
broad-cas asking nothing.
His gifts have included all denomina-
tions and all departments Of education.
Many poor boys and girls have known
and yet know his direct and personal
aid to their schools or colleges.
This man, whose patriotism and philan-
thropy have never been questioned, whose
pure and noble life in the main has been
an example and inspiration to the young,
who has stood for and been largely rep
resentative of our moral, intellectual ard
commercial progress, asks of the people
whose interest he has advanced in every
way-even at his own sacrifice 1.-The Sen
atorial toga." He should ask it in conf
dence, it is a proud honor, but not a dis
prorortionate one, it should come to him
not as the payment of a debt, but as a
grateful tribute.
General Carr has been most things in
active life except politician, in the tech
meal sense. The grand old Democratic
| orga nization is one of the institutions he
has so literally helped to live, because

not been campaign in years to which

Should it not be given him now? Ger

rise in behalf Of this pure, noble and gen.
erous man, and on the 9Th day of Novem-
| Der next let US march bravely to the
| field Of battle, and through the ballot box,
proclaim our gratitude for this God-serv-

Simmons For Senator.

To the Editor There is much being
said through the papers pressing the
claims Of the various candidates for the
Senate.
While it is true all the candidates
placed before the people are men of merit
It Is also true the people are weighing
the worth OF each and so should the votes
be cast in November.
We believe that when the people fully
consider the merits OF each in the light
OF truth and Justice they will not be
found turning a deaf ear to the brave and
wise general who was in command OF
the Democratic forces Of 1898 and 1900,
through whose wise leadership was
brought Democratic victory to State and
counties.
When our good old State was in the
clutches Of the Fusion gang, ruin and
trouble being wrought on every hand the
all-impcrtant question arose, to whom
ehall we look for deliverance. In quick
succession the response came from every
section in North Carolina, give us the
wise and fearless Hon. F. NJ Simmons,
and the victory is ours.
During the planning ard the off setting
OF Butler & Co., in the midst OF the bat
tie, on every hand could be heard: We will
give the Hon. f. NJ. Simmons whatsoever
he NAV ask at our hands, he having
brought peace and confidence throughout
the State.

liant leader and profound thinker. F. NJ.

has always done, and is now doing all in

fields. While they sleep uetly in the
Divoauc of the dead this noble man has,
and is still wiping the tears from the eyes
of more widows and orphanages with hog
and hominy than any other man in North

that the people make State, and that ed
ucation makes a people, he has gone
deeper in his bank deposit to foster edu-
cation than any score of men in the State,
with the exception of the generous bene-
factor of Trinity College. Lett the people

they may rest in the consciousness of
