and fast from candidates for the various
offices, we are glad to note that of Mr.
julius Lewis, for county commissioner.

man of good sound judgment. successful
in business with views broad enough to
take in the best interest of Wake coun-

Of the section of the county in which
he may live. We have had more than
enough of these narrow-minded fellows
who can see no further than his own
little home district, unless he is given a
tip by some one outside his kingIy
realm, when local interests melt as the
April snow and flow steadily into his
own private reservoir for his own private
use. We have also heard quite enough
of local representation, when the great
need is county and State representatives;
men qualified and willing to do the bid
ding of their masters-(not the heads

people of the entire county and State

Bernard Favored.

To the Editor:I notice that some@ of
our Raleigh friends are making claims
for the country people that we of the
country do not make. If there is a sec
ton in the country outside of Mr.. Rand s
neighborhood. and the section in which
reside his kinsmen that makes such a
demand I have not found it.
The country people want a good, COM
petent, courteous Democrat to serve
them. We have this in ]. j. Bernard.
Therefore, we of Buckhorn township and
of the country, ask that the people Of
Raleigh unite with us on the 25th of this
month and help us to nominate J. J.
Bernard, the country's choice for Regis
ter Of Deeds.
l want to say, too, that the country
people always roll up their sleeves and
work for the nominees of the party, it
matters not from where they are chosen.
Yours for Democratic success,

Honeycutt for County Commissioner.

To the Editor: Little River Town
ship always takes what is given her and
does her voting all right and says moth
ing. But this year she would like to be
represented on the very important Board
of County Commissioners.
We have a man to present for that po-
sition who, by his experience as farmer
and merchant is we'll fitted for that DO
sition. No man in the county knows the
needs of the farmers and the people of
the county better than he, and would
look more closely after their interest.
He is a staunch Democrat has always
voted the Democratic ticket and given
of his time and means for the success of
the party. That man is r. L. Honey
cult, of Wakefield.
Go to the primary on the 25th inst and
cast your vote for T. l.. Honeycutt and
you will make no mistake.

w. F. Utley for County Commissioner.

To the Editor: l was very much
gratified to see in the Raleigh Times Of
the 18th inst, a communication from my
esteemed friend Mr.. C. F. Cooke, recon-
mending the above named gentleman for
county commissioner from the western
portion of the county. ! most heartily
endorse what, Mr.. Cook said in regard
to the fitness of Mr.. Utley as one of the
commissioners. He is one among the
best business men in the county. and
one of the very best Democrats. He
has fought under the Democratic banner
ever since he has been voting. He is
certainly a self-made man in the true
sense of the word. He came out OF the
late war with only one leg, and began
business in the then small town of Apex,
with only a few dollars, and by strict
attention to business, hard work and
economy has succeeded in building up a
most lucrative business. He has reared
large and interesting family and gave
them a splendid education-one OF his
sons being a prominent physician.
He was a member of Company d.,
Twenty sixth North Carolina Regiment
Vance's old boys-and lost a leg in the
battle of Reams' Station on the 25th day
of August, 1864. AS a soldier, he per-
formed every duty devolving upon him
with fidelity and honor. Company ID was
organized at Holly Springs, in this
county, and was one among the first to
respond to the call for volunteers in the
late war.
AS citizen and business man, he has
few. equals, and the voters of Wake
county will never regret having bestowed
their suffrage upon him by electing him
one of their commissioners.
We might go on and recount much of
his life, which would be interesting read
ing, but we feel that it is entirely I'M
necessary. Give him your votes and you
will never have cause to regret it.

WAKE WAKING Up!
The Town Talk and Country
Talk all about Primaries
Only One Candidate for Senator, Clerk and
Treasurer. Lyeliest and Most Interesting
Contest is for Register Of Deeds
and County Commissioner.

All over Raleigh and all over the
county the question that has been dis
cussed mostly during the past few days
has been the Democratic primaries which
will be held at the various precincts on
Friday next. The candidates and their
friends are making the welkin ring, and
in every section of the county there is
great interest manifested. That the
ticket selected by the voters will be a
good one is of course assured by the
high character, capability and integrity
of all the gentlemen whose names are
mentioned for the different positions.
For the Senate it seems at this writ
inc that Mr.. Herbert Norris will have
the field to himself, as no other name
has been suggested.
For the House there are several cam
didates, all good and true men. From
Raleigh we hear only the name of Mr..
John c. Drewry mentioned. Mr. A. B.
Hunter, of Apex, is being pressed for
one position on the legislative ticket, as
is also Prof r. f. Sentelle, of Wake
field, Mr. Fab. A. Whitaker, of st.
Marys, and Mr.. r. d. Huneycutt, of
Barton's Creek, and there may be
others whose friends will urge them on
primary day.
For sheriff the present incumbent,
Capt. NJ. w. Page, is a candidate for
reelection He has one competitor al
ready announced, Mr. A. NJ. Sorrell, of
Oak Grove.
For Clerk of the Superior Court Mr.
w. NJ Russ will have no opposition.
Nor have we heard of any opposition to
Capt. b. T. Williamson for County
Treasurer.
For Register of Deeds there are three
strong men in the race, Capt j. ]. Ber-
nard. the present incumbent, Mr. Chance
p. Rand. of Panther Branch. and Mr..
Willard Mial, of Marks Creek, and the
fight for this position has already
warmed up almost to fever heat.
For the Board of County Commission
ers there are numerous candidates. 1t is
understood that with the exception of
Mr.. Willard Mial all the members of the
present board are candidates for re-
election, towit: Mr.. A. H. Green, Of
Raleigh, Mr.. w. c. Brewer, of Wake
Forest, Mr.. ]. e. Pegram, of Middle
Creek, and Mr.. w. A. Ellington, of
White Oak.
In addition to those we have mention
ed the names of Mr.. Julius Lewis and
Mr.. Bryant Smith, of Raleigh, Mr.. T. L.
Huneycutt, of Little River, Mr.. Erastus
Ballentine. of Middle Creek, Capt. w.
t. Utley, of Apex, Mr.. Eli Scarborough.
of Eagle Rock, Mr.. W. T. Smith. of
Houses Creek, Mr. H. d. Rand, of ST.
Mary's t. l.. Hunneycutt,s of Little.
River, and perhaps others.
AS to Coroner and Surveyor we have
heard but little said. The present in
cumbents will perhaps be candidates.
There will be a lively but good ma
tured contest for the House of Represen-
tatives for Register of Deeds and for
County Commissioners, but with these
lists of names to select from the Demo-
cratic voters cannot fail to name an
strong and winning ticket.

that they are all drying up
