Col. Robinson For Congress.

To the Editor:-A short time ago the
News and Observer published a communi-
cation from Col. A. c. Davis advocating
the nomination of Hon. jos. g. Robinson
OF Wayne. for Congress from the Third
district The communication of Col
Davis set forth so fully the qnaljica-
lions of Mr.. Robinson that | feel that
/ can add nothing to it, but 1 wish 10
call attention to the fact that Mr. Robin
son belongs to a profession which has
done more work for the Democratic par-
ty and has received less recognition al
the hands of the party than any pro-
fession or class of men which forms a
Tart OF that great organization.
He has been for many years the edi
or Of a Democratic newspaper, and. Ike
nearly all the gentlemen or his probes
sion, has given, year in and year out,
his constant and unremitting service 10
the advancement of Democratic policies
and the election Of Democratic candi-
dates.
This work mas not been confined merely
to the period covered by our active CAM
lagns, but like all the editors of our
State who love their party, there has
been no time when opportunity offered
whether the war was Waging or quies-
cent. when he has not endeavored to i'm
press upon the people The importance OF
standing by the principles of the Demo
cratic party.
In my opinion it has been this every day
constant iteration and reitcration ok the
necessity of adherence to those things
that would promote decent government
and the best interests of the people, en-
Loded as they are in the web and wool
Of Democracy even more than the great
speeches of our campaign orators, whose
effectiveness I do not underrate, which
has resulted in bringing back to North
Carolinians an era of peace, good order
and good government.
In this most effective every day-in-th
year campaign It may sbe safely said
that Mr.. Robinson has stood shoulder TO
shoulder with the other Democratic edi-
tors Of tho State, and borne his full share
in this great work.
No movement. having for its purpose
the uplifting of the people il their moral,
educational and political interests, has
found more ardent advocate than Mr..
Robinson and no man has presented the
great themes which have engaged the at
tention Of our people in recent years in
more graceful and attractive style than
the cultured and eloquent editor of the
Goldshoro Argos.
If the Democratic voters of the State
wish to honor and reward those VINO
have done The most effective party SER
vice. It occurs to me, that all things
being equal, about the best way to do 4
would be to pick out one of our best
! Democratic editors and nominate him fol
/ an office of such Importance as would
/ furnish ndisputable evidence of their APP
/ precia tion Of the great service rendered
/ by the press 20 the party.

At an early date the Southern Railway
will commence work on the double track

the Southern was compelled to pursue
this course.

r HERE are many sickly women be-

lays aside the active duties of womanhood
III health seldom fails to live on in happi-
ness, years after she has passed so. During
the change of life, the menstrual function
gradually disappears. This is truly a crit
ical time.
Mrs. Laura s. Webb, of Toledo, Ohio,
recognizes the change of life as danger

"As had always been troubled more or
