Letter from Ex-Lieutenant Gov

n. Armiicld, or IredeII.

Sparta. n. c.. May 80.
Editor Messenger:
1t is conceded that one of the candI-
dates of the democratic party for asso-
siate justice of the supreme court
should be and will be selected from
Western North Carolina. That candi-
date must present the mental. moral
and legal qualifications necessary to an
able and faithful discharge of the i'm
portant duties of the office of judge of
the supreme court. OF the many gen.
tlemen who have been named for this
place L know of no one who combines
all the requisite and necessary qualifi-
eations for this position better than
Charles H. Armfield, of Iredell county.
For twenty years he has devoted him
self to his profession with an applica-
tion rarely to be found. He inheritS
the great legal mind, judicial tempera-
ment and common sense methods of in
vestigation Of his distinguished father.
He has enjoyed an excellent practice
from the time he entered upon his pro-
fession to the present, which has beer
made up, not from any particular
branch of the law, but from all brancn-
es. and he is considered by the profess
sion an exceptionally able lawyer
in all branches of the profession
known to the practitioner in West
ern North Carolina. He is physically
strong, and capable of doing a great
amount of labor; enjoys a liberal liter
ary education, which he has constantly
added to. and his private life and moral
character are Of the highest and best
type.
From a political standpoint no better
nomination could be made, because his
party record is so clear and consistent
as to inspire the confidence of the whole
people. He belongs to no faction of the
party, and 1 assure the people Of the
state that his nomination would be
thoroughly satisfactory to all demo-
Gratis. He possesses the confidence Of
all the people. The most powerful cor
poration and the most humble individ
ual could safely trust the business OF
his cause to the legal learning and in
nate fairness of Charles H. Armfield

Rules for Capitals.

The late William NJ. SingerIy took a
deep personal interest in the workings
of the mechanical department of the
Record, knew nearly all his typesetters,
pressmen and stereotyperS by name,
and frequently spent an hour or two in
chatting with the mon in one or an
other of the departments, says the Phil
adelphia Times. The tpyesetters lit
was in the eante-MergenthaleI days. Of
ten referred questions Of style to him
in John W. Bailey'S absence, and on one
occasion asked him if he couldn't do or
say something that should put an end
to arbitrary capitalization of words
What they wanted was a set rule as to
what words should be capitalized. Sing
erly, knowing that the typesetters were
not fond of reaching into the upper-case
more frequently than was absolutely
necessary, and holding that paper was
printed for a day and not for all time,
and, that therefore, syntactical exact
ness in such matters was not vital,
went UP to the composing room, mount
ed the steps leading TO the locker gal
lery, and announced:
ssGentlemeni ! wish to state for the
benefit of concpositors and prCofreaders
that the only words demanding caps
i'm this paper are God Almighty. vii
