Why Vance County Urges the Nomi-
nation of w. B Shaw for Congress.

To the Editor: With an eye single
to seeing the State well served and the
fittest man nominated for Congress, |
would like to give the reason of Vance
countys preference of Major w. b. Shaw
for Congress. Whether viewed from the
standpoint of fitness or deserts he is alike
the most eligible man.
The campaign will be q strenuous one.
Major Shaw is by long odds the strongest
stump speaker in the district. Not in
years have national questions been as
pregnant. Few men in the State have
studied these questions as closely as he,
understand their practical bearings as
well, or can discuss them as clearly and
tellingly before the people and in the
halls Of Congress.
No man in North Carolina has q more
honorable or more consistent record
than this gentleman. Beginning while
yet a lad as Confederate soldier his
energies and talent have ever been at
the service of his State. For more than
a quarter of century the State, through
it's protector, the Democratic party, has
had the benefit of his splendid abilities
as political speaker The fact that the
services Of other men, though less than
his, were recognized while he was neg
lected never affected his fealty or wiz
ingness to labor for the public good. 9th
ers have swerved, his course has been that
of straightforward Democracy. His pri-
vate life is unsullied. His political life
has known no shadow of ndirection
Mr. Pou has withdrawn from the race.
Mr. Atwater in 1898 the nominee of an
other party, which could not unaided
have elected him, owed his term in
Congress to Democratic votes. Though
an upright and honorable gentleman
there is no valid reason for his renomi-
nation other than his services in the last
campaign. Major Shaw has borne the
brunt of many campaigns Indeed if this
is to be the measure of eligibility he
need fear few competitors in the whole
State.
Mr.. Spruill. though a brilliant man, is
younger and can better afford to wait.
While to Major Shaw now in the full
plenitude of his rpened powers the
years mean much more.
Finally If ability to conduct a trench
ant campaign and to fill the place when
elected, if answering fealty to the
highest principles of Democracy if TWEEN
ty-five years of unrewarded service in
behalf of those principles are duly COR
sidered he cannot fail to be nominated.

Gen. J. s. Carr For Senator.

To the Editor: The United States
Senatorship is considered the highest Of
flee within the gift of the people, and
we ought to consider carefully who is
the best man upon whom to confer it,
The names of several distinguished
sons of North Carolina have been sug-
geSted by their friends for this office,
and / do not mean to dispaRage the
claims OF any one, but do desire to lay
before your readers the claims of the
one whom l feel to be eminently fitted
for the office and deserving this great
honor at the hands of the Democratic
party of North Carolina. / refer to Gen
eral Julian S. Carr, Of Durham
General Carr needs no enconium at my
hands His record as soldier and citizeh
business man and manufacturer, his
charities and benefactions, his kindness
to the old soldier, are known to ALL His
deeds speak for him. But | desire here
to give some reasons why | think he
should be elected.
In selecting a candidate for office two
things are usually considered, fitness for
the office and party service.
While General Carr is a man Of wealth.
no one can deny that he acquired it
honestly, and it has not made him lose
touch with the people. A large manufac
turer, he has always stood out against
monopolies and trusts, and when a fac
tory of which he was president and of
which he owned q large amount of stock
was bought by trust, he refused to re-
ceive in compensation therefor the stock
of the trust, and took the money thus
received and invested it in various manu-
featuring enterprises in North Carolina
seeking always to build up his own State
and to be of service to his own people.
He has consistently opposed the gold
standard, because he believed it to be
inimcal to the interests of the great
mass of the people, and he has advoca
ted his belief in silver at times and in
places, where it required no small degree
of moral courage to take that stand.
His party services have not been
heralded from the house tops, because
they have not consisted in words, but
deeds. To run a campaign successfully
there is one thing absolutely necessary,
and that is money, and there has not
been a campaign in North Carolina in
years which he has not stood ready to
back up with his money to the utmost
limit of his means. Instead of going
around making stump speeches, he has
Embossed his purse strings to the cam
paign managers, and given his personal
efforts to the cause of the party. His
influence with the old soldiers is deserv-
edly great, and it has always been to
keep them in line for the old party. One
of the most effective campaign documents

Of the last campaign was General Carr's
Letter to ex-Confederates" published
in pamphlet form and sent out to his
former comrades
Certainly then, his Democracy has been
without flaw, and his party services have
been of great value.
man of vigorous intellect, his ability
to serve his State in the CAPACITY of
United States Senator is exceeded by
none. While there are some who coulo
make more brilliant speeches. than he
none could influence legislation in the
National Capital more effectively. He
is not a politician in the usual sense.
but man OF extraordinary business
ability, and the same careful attention to
detail which has made every manufac-
turing industry to which he has nut his
hand successful, would make him in
Washington quantity to be reckoned
with on every question manufacturer
himself, he would call attention to his
State as a fruitful field of industry.
man of the people, he would be sensitive
to the wishes Of his constituents
man of culture and refinement he would
reflect credit upon his State. A man of
patriotism and broad philanthropy he
could be counted on to advocate only
those measures which the interests of
his people demand. A business man
rather than politician, he would not
be at the beck and call of any political
ring, but we believe would take upon
himself the duties of the office, fully ap-
preciating the grave responsibilities at
tached and execute them faithfully and
honestly.
General Carr, if elected to this high
office, will reflect credit upon his State
and bring more real benefits to North
Carolina than any other man whom we
could send.

patriotic people kept chopping at the
trunk OF that royal prerogative whose
branches overshadowed with baleful
influence the whole land, until it
gave way and measured it's length
upon the earth; and let stream into
that beautiful land the gladstone
light of liberty.
There We're other grievances which
Scion redressed, rather summarily it
is true; but the conditions were ur-
gent. He had theory that the slavery
OF debt was as real as any other slav-
cry, and that a man in order to be a
good citizen should be free, else the
freedom of the ballot would be null
lily. So when he found the great
mass of the people with their lands
and persons mortgaged to their more
fortunate brethren absolutely beyond
the hope of redemption, he cancelled
these mortgages. Nor was he salts
fled with this. but went so far as to
depreciate the intrinsic value of the
coin.
When the bitterness of our cam
paign of 1896 is remembered, some
faint conception may be had OF the
storm that was raised over Scion S
head. when these measures were pass
ed. 1t was terrific. One would have
thought that the whole business
land. people. money and all was go
ing to gro to pieces at once and shrink
into the beautiful blue Of the Medit-
erranean. But Scion was not cam
didate for a second term, so he let
the storm howl while he proceeded
with his reforms.
He also had a theory that those
classes of citizens who enjoyed the
greatest privileges and had the great
est amount of property to be protect
ed in times of war and other dangers,
should likewise bear greater proper
ton of the burdens of taxation: so
he enacted an income tax. Our Con-
gress enacted a similar tax, but our
Supreme Court, by a majority of one,
and that one had changed his opinion,
declared it unconstitutional. Still, a
very respectable body of our citizens
vet think the law was wise, just and
constitutional, Mr.. Justice Shiras to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
The principles which animated the
breasts of these people and which
Scion put into laws were fraternity,
freedom and justice, protection OF the
weak against the strong, and recognl-
ton of the humblest cl,lZen as a part
of the State. Education of the peo-
pie became a national duty and ne
cessity, as it always is in free
country.
Thus were inaugurated those prin-
ciples of democratic government
which grew in strength and beauty
under the leadership of Clisthenes,
and made possible the age of Pericles,
when the human mind reached its
highest development;-wh were
produced those monuments of genius
in art and literature, which have ever
been and ever will be at once the
marvel and the admiration of man
kind.
And so it was that some 600 years
before ST. Paul stood on Mars Hill
and preached that beautiful altruism
of Jesus Christ, that the same I'm
known Gcd,' to whom he there found
an altar inscribed. had taught these
people the universal brotherhood of
man. ALEX. j. FIELD.

Officers e. T. Lea, was given a
claim and delivery paper to take some
household furniture from the home
of Lamar Mebane. Yesterday after
noon when he went to serve the pa

an attempt to strike him with a

him, the woman, furniture and all
were brought up town.

quoted down. She was then bound
over to court under a bond of $50 in

sentence taken off.
