HIS PATRIOTIC LETTER
''The Democratic Voters Looking Else
where For Candidate
NOW FREE TO WORK FOR PARTY SUCCESS
81 Wish it Distinctly Understood That 10 Not
Abate One Jos or Title Of Ny Deep
Interest in the Success Of the
Democratic Party"

To the Editor: When |
States senate | thought it likely that
a majority of the Democratic voters
might desire me to be their candidate
to represent the people Of North Caro-
lima in that great body. | have since
learned that many friends throughout
the State Who might, under other cir
cumstances, have supported me, nave
committed themselves to other gentle
large number of the Democratic voters
are looking elsewhere for their candi-
date. l nave no disposition to question
the wisdom of their course OF to con-
tend against it.
Under existing conditions it would
not be reasonable in me to ask further
support from friends to whom | am al
ready so largely indebted for their
your columns to to he pub
lie that | am no longer a candidate.
This leaves me absolutely free to work
for party success in November.
In thus eliminating my personal in
terest I wish it distinctly understood
that | do not abate one jot or little
of my deep interest in the success of
the Democratic party. h Democracy
of North Carolina ought to give Bryan
and Stevenson a rousing majority and
elect a solid Democratic delegation to
the House of Representatives. 1t can
be done if every Democrat viii do his
duty. | shall go forward to do mine,
and l appeal to every Democrat to be
at his post of duty until the closing
of the polls. The election Of a Demo-
cratic Senator is already assured. Now
let us send nine Democrats to the
House to cooperate with him.

COTTON RECEIPTS ARE LIGHT.
The Price is below 10 Cents and Farmers are
Holding Their Cotton

Cotton has gone below ten cents
again and as a result the farmers are
wisely keeping their cotton off
the market. The receipts from wag-
ons in Raleigh yesterday were only 90
bales and the best grade of cotton
brought only 9A cents.
That is not enough, under present
conditions and farmers know it. hence
they are waiting for that which they
know is sure to happen soon-an adj
in the price of the staple.
eve never before seen just such a
situation.' said a cotton buyer yester-
dav. 1.-The farmer is master Of the sit
uation. and he knows it; SO when cot
ton drops below 10 cents he shuts up
like a clam, and he stays shut till it
goes back to 10 cents and bow IT
you get his cotton this year you've got
to pay for it, and that's all there is
about it."

GETTING MARRIED.-AND WHEN.
Dorothy Dix Discusses the Question in a Most
Sensible Sort of Way.
(New York JOurnal.)

Do girls get married for lack Of other
employment? Professor Franklin Gid
dings says that the effect of factory work
on women is to put off marrying day. Miss
Smith, of Leland Stanford University.
finds that the higher education has a sim
liar effect on the sex. and that the col
lege bred woman enjoys a longer spar of
single blessedness than her non-college
bred sister. This plainly indicates that
Cupid, like Satan, finds work for idle
hands to do, and that if a girl is fully en-
ployed she is as little apt to fall in love
as she is to get into other kinds of mis-
CHIEF.
Whatever the reason, it is apparent
that the marrying age is growing later.
Every year we see fewer examples of
that always pitiful spectacle of a girl TAX
ing a flying leap from the cradle to the
altar, making vows she is too much a child
to understand, taking responsibilities she
is too young to fulfill, too often in her
ignorance fastening the milestone about
her neck that is to crush out all the

MIDDLE of ROAD
ELECTORS NAMED
A Small Convention Held in
Raleigh.
A Full BARKER TICKET
No Congressional Nomination Made
by the Convention.
. FULL BARKER TICKET

The Middle-of-the-Road PopuI;sts
met here yesterday and nominated a
full Barker and Donnelly electoral
ticket.
Only about a dozen 'delegates' at
tended, hence no convention was
held, but with true Populist instinct
the gathering resolved itself into a
caucus-two caucuses, in fact.
The first one wa held at II o'clock
in the office of the Secretary Of State
Thompson. The SECOND one met at l
O'Clock in room No. II at the Yarbor-
ough House.
AT the flrSt caucus names were Su0-
gested for the electoral ticket but, as
a numbe of "delegates' were expected
on a later train their final acceptance
was postponed till the latter caucus at
the Marlborough.
This last caucu made no change in
the names, however, and the list Of
electors as originally suggested and
finally nominated was as follows:
At l~arge-George f. Boggs, of Hay
wood county, and DR.. V. n. SeaweII,
of Duplin.
District Electors 4. j. Move, Pitt

THE SITUATION,

Union Republican efforts for a glor-

producing good fruit. II is probable
that the Republicans Of this State were
never 50 united upon ono idea than now,
and that IS that the party shall ~ a unit
at Thu polls to beat the Democrats. II is
tins sputmont that has forced

Committee to lcce}n from the position
taken hy ITS executive committee on
Tuesday last, and % nalne ticket
which had, in the main. heen proposed
for their approval by rhe Union Repiib-
licun State Committee. This result was
not easily achieved
The purpose Of the meeting II Dover
yesterday did not include the doing Of
anything definite toward uniting the
party. The "Regular Executive Com
mittee having lodged behind the old pre-
tense Of the "Regular" State Committee
in its dealings with tile Mon Republi-
can State Committee, viz. that it had no
authority to act in the acceptance or re-
lection Of proposals for harmony, wanted
and expected the State Committee to
