est in the coming election, they have
faith in God and believe that He will
direct all things.-Raleigh Blade (Ne-

All the same it will be well for the
advocates of White Supremacy to be
early at the polls, and to poll full
vote for the amendment. Out OF the
10000 negro voters, at least 119,949
viii be on hand to vote solid as their
bosses direct. Fifty may be sick and
one may not vote at all.
Whenever the negro leaders say that
the negro is taking little interest in
the election" look out for full solid
negro vote.

Hon. T. w. Mason For Corporation
Commissioner.

TO the Editor: In casting about Tor
suitable men for the Board of Corporation
Commissioners soCn to be elected, it has
occurred TO me that there is not one
more eminently fitted for the place than
Hon Thos. w. Mason, of Northampton
His loyalty and faithful services in the
past, his Willingness to serve the party
in whatever capacity he may be called
upon 10 do so, his sterling gifts of heart
and head, his known championship of the
rights Of the people, all entitle him to the
support of those who wish to see the
place OF Corporation Commissioners held
by true and trustworthy men. l do not
know that he desires the place, but / do
know that North Carolina has no wor-
thier son, nor one who at the call of duty
would make more willing sacrifices to
serve her. Then, whoever the others
may be, let Thos. W. Mason, of North
ampton. be nominated for the Chairman
Of the Board of Corporation Commission
ers.
Yours truly,
G. e. WEBB.

To the Editor: Believing as we DO
that the office of Labor Commissioner and

that it might show appreciation of their
loyalty in the past, and hold out an in
ducement in the future to the class pos
sessing a great majority of the citizens
Of the State we, as representatives Of
nearly all the trades, embracing ma
chinists. black smiths, bolermakers,
copper-smiths, carpenters, timers, pain
ters, brick masons, mill operators, farm
ers and laborers, do sincerely endorse tie
candidacy of Joseph H. James for the
position On the State ticket. He is we'll
equipped and competent to discharge the
duties of the office faithfully and to the
credit of the party he so well represents.
We further believe, by adding Mr..
James to the ticket, emerging as he did
from the rank and file of men engaged in
these trades, the mechanics OF the state
would feel that they are represented by
man who has their interest at heart.
It is an undisputed fact that this great
element has asked but little at the hands
of the party, and we see no good reason
why a representative from this branch
would not give general satisfaction. We
have confidence in his ability as speak,
