Mr.. EDIToR:-As the time is
near at hand when nominations

the interest of the people to bring
forward our best men to fill all

cal time when we have a crisis to
meet md an enemy to good govs
eminent to fight and overcome in
order to give to the State and
counties, wise efficient, honest and
economic government, that the
people may be benefited. (that Is
Democracy We put forward a
man who has worked hard and
given literally of his g for
the best interest of the people and
the glory of the State. Born and
reared by Democratic parents,
used to work, Injured to the hard
ships of the farm, himself largely
a farmer, yet the lawyers say he
knows more about legislation and
the needs of the people than they
do and that he is fit and compe-
tent and ought to represent his
people, and we believe the people
want and will readily vote for him;
they are very much attached to
Mr.. Aycock because he is the
peoples man His name is a power
of strength, and he would add a
great deal toward bringing out
the full vote and carrying the
Amendment, which is very i'm
portant. Mr.. Aycock is certainly
the strongest man in the county
for the Senate, and the very man
to succeed Frank A. Daniels. Let

me space in your widely read pa
per to say, that while I appreciate
fully the honor my fellow Dem
ocrats conferred upon me in nom
mating and electing me to the
Legislature, two years ago, and
am deeply gratiied at the many
overtures made to me to run

simply impossible for mo to per-
NIT my name to be considered in
the coming county convention of
my party.
hope my friends will consider
this-avowal as absolute on my
part, and not embarrass me or
jeopardize the interests of other
deserving aspirants by urging my
name upon my friends or the
convention.
Respectfully,

The railroad accident here IN
which Capt. WiIliford lost his
foot was quite accurately reports
ed in your paper. Mrs, Wllliford
is quarantined in Portsmouth
with her little son, who has scar
let fever. She said to Capt. Will.
liford only Sunday last that she
wished he would give up his ob,
she was so much afraid of acct
dents. Fate seems hard on them
| to send him back to her from his
very next run manned for life.
Capt. Williford took his misfor-
tune philosophically, and wen
home remarkably cheerful. He
certainly has the hearty sym
pathy of this entire town. We
trust that he may speedily re
cover and be enabled to turn his
misfortune to a blessing.

Fremont, N. G.
May BIB, 1900.

Mr.. Editor
Rotation in Office is Democ-
racy. The coming young men be-
lieve in Democratic principles,
for it was taught them by their
fathers, and they drank from
their mothers breast the purest
and most uncompromising prin-
ciples Of the faith which has
given to the country it's best and
greatest men. The young men of
to-day should be encouraged in
their laudable ambition to rise,
and work out for themselves a
name honorable for them and
the State they love- SO we'll, Those
young men who have culled the
sweetest flowers, inhaled the
aroma of the silvery spring Of
knowledge, drank deep from the
fountain of inspiration, desire
that their names shall be carved
on history's fairest page. Sach
a one desires his name put be-
fore the convention for Register
Of Deeds. Honest. upright in all
his dealings with his fellowmen,
amiable. kind and courteous to
all, no unkind word ever falling
from his lips. of pure Demo-
cratic stock, he would make an
official the people would love to
honor and the county would be
proud to own as her rising son.
This young man is Jno. B.. Hooks
of our town. We hope the peo-
pie Of good old Wayne will look
upon MIN with favor and nomi-
nate HIM for the Office he desires,
andif SO they will never have
cause to regret it.
Very Resp.

A ChrOnicling OF a Weeks Events
I'm That ThrivingNeigh-
horhOod.

DOTHUOUs
Mr.. Will Smith and daughter,
Johnston county, were yisa
iting in our community last week.
We are 50 busy marking peas
=and lodging agents that we have
not had much time for news this
week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Howell
and Mrs. Amanda Mitchell spent
Saturday night and Sunday with
Mr.. and Mrs. J. c. Howell.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Sasser,
from near Smithield, returned
home Sunday, from a visit to MIR.
Sasser's mother, Mrs. Kizzy Sas-
ser.
Her many friends will regret to
learn of the illness of Miss Sarah
Rose, al her brothers,, Mr.. j..
W. Rose, and wish for her an
early recovery.
Our little village is steadily
taking on growth and presents
rather an active appearance now
every morning, due to the i'm
mense amount of peas shipped
from this section.
The new depot here is now an
assured fact, as the lumber is on
the side track, and DON we will
be ahead of your city, in that we
will have what you need more
than any town IF city in the State,
a nice depot, where we can catch
the vestibule, rain or shine.
Our truckers are very busy
now, shipping peas, and while
there is not a young fortune in
them, still, it is the means of put~
ting more money in circulation,
at a time when the farmers bank
account is as near balanced as at
any season of the year.
Our community was visited by
"a hail storm last Thursday after
noon, which no doubt would have
been destructive to everything in
its path, if it had been accompa-
MED by wind. The stones we're
almost as large as partridge eggs,
and covered the ground in some
places, but little damage was done,
only the chilly appearance given
to truck.
The Sunday School Conven-
ton which meets at Ebenezer
next Saturday. May IL, promises
to be an enjoyable occasion. The
programme is good, and no
doubt the exercises will be both
interesting and beneficial. A cor.
dial invitation is extended to the
public to come, and bring has
kets we'll filed, aud help enjoy
the occasion.
Last Tuesday, the first day of
May, was the time FOR looking in
the we'll with a mirror and seeing
a future husband or wife, and also
the time to wet your head in the
first May rain to prevent head
ache the rest of the year. If there
was any virtue in the latter we
would be willing to be wet all
over every three hours in every
rain this month.
Our neighbor Mr.. J. G. How
ell has the Oldest cat we ever
saw, a typical Tom cat, who has
been in his family over 20 years,
and while he has partially re.
tired to private life, having
given up entirely his nocturnal
-depredations he is still active,
though his voice has lost mach
of it's former sweetness (?) and
he has about given up business
entirely, Toby says he has eaten
enough rats to make five barrels

Big Words.

There Is no Weather tongue spoken
than the English language. and the per-
sons of thesmallsst vocabulary can make
himself understood. But some one has
said that language was Invented to con-
ceal thought. and this Is evidently true
Of many who write In grandiloquent
strains. Here. however. the suspicion
arises that they are maQucrading, using
rare and obsolete terms to conceal sha
naucity Of their Ideas. A recent publ
cation called The Esoterlc Art Of Liv-
Ing" has this ponderous paragraph:
Individual consciousness difrerenti-
ates the Universal, and evolves through
sense and psychic to the higher states
by means OF the life In which the ego
seeks to express IL ever-increaslng de-
gree OF perfection the sublltninal ma
ture and wisdom. The higher life Is n
constant relating OF consciousness to
the Exchanging and the Permanent.
and the emergence OF the subllmInnl
consciousness and Its synchronizins
with the supaliminal or objective con-
seriousness. The art Of living this life
Is first sought In the mastery of mind.
All OF which the reader Is glad to
know. but Is not quite certain just what
he does know. 1t Is the same nffec;n-
'tlon that turns the old saw OF "a rolling
stone gathers no moss'' Into the pedan-

presumed that he meant Stevenson had
been politically morIbund for some
years. yet from certain Democratic
SOURCES expressions OF pure delight are
coming over. his nomination. and they
are facilitating themselves. that there In
at least one sterling Democrat on the
ticket. These sluudatlons OF Stevenson
have moved Harper's Weekly to dissent
from any such premise. 1t says: "A1r.
Stevenson was never q representative
Of anything In Democracy which was
worthy OF admiration. In matters
where strength of purpose. conviction,
principle. were required. Mr.. Stevenson.
from first to last. has. been weak and
colorless, the tool OF others, a creature
so devoid Of positive conviction that his
personal influence In public life was
actually nil. On the other hand. as a
