Armfield for Associate Justice.

To the Editor: Though it is some time
before the democratic State Conven-
ton NETS at Greensboro, as the friends
of various candidates for Justices of the
Supreme Court are setting forth,
through the papers, their claims to the
offices named. it may not be amiss to
call attention to the wishes of many
Democrats in Surry, Wilkes and adjoin-
ing counties.
II is with much pleasure that one
who reads the State papers notes the
fact that mon of such high order of tai
ent and legal acumen are suggested in
connection with the office of Supreme
Court Justice, for that shows that the
party will, as in the past, select only
those lawyers who, by reason of their
ability, are entitled to g seat on the
Supreme Court bench. Fortunately in
this progressive age it is no longer con-
sidered crime for young man to
claim from his party such recognition
as his talent merits. Such being the
case, the many friends of Chas. Fl. Arm
field, of Statesville, will present his
name to the next Democratic convention
for the position OF Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court. Now in the prime
of life, inheriting from his distinguished
father, Judge Armfield, both legal and
judicial mind, by close application and
devotion to that most jealous mistress
the law-ke has established the repu-
taticn of one of the best lawyers in
Western North Carolina. Having for
some time enjoyed a large and varied
practice, Mr.. Armfield has had ample
opportunities to put to practical use
that knowledge Of law which he ac-
quired by the frequent use of the mid
night oil.
With Chas III. Armfield from the west
ard any one Of the DISTINGUISHED gen.
tlcmen who have been mentioned from
the east, the Democratic party can 90
to the people with the assurance of hGv-
ing selected men eminently suited for
the duties of the high offices of Justices
of the Supreme Court, and the vote
which these gentlemen will receive will
justify the wisdom of the action of the
convention. j. T.. HENDREN.

POPE AFFAIRS WILL BE AIRED WELL.
Friend Of Lewis Says They May Garry it to the
White House Yet
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Redsville, N. c., April ia friend of
Postmaster Lewis, of Madison, says the
action of Mr.. Pope in bringing suit
against the three gentlemen of Madison
for damage will result in most thor
cugh ventilation of the work Mr.. Pope
was doing in soliciting campaign funds
from the Republican ofticeholders
throughout the State. This gentleman
is confident that Mr.. Holton and Senator
Pritchard have violated the civil service
laws and the matter will, he says, be car
ried into the White House if necessary.
Chairman Watt has called the Demo-
cratic executive committee to meet in
Wentworth on April 25th, at noon, to de-
eide on date of calling the county conven-
tion and whether or not one or two con-
ventions will be held in the county this
year The candidates for the various
Offices are quite numerous
Six pupils of the graded schools will
graduate this session. Governor .Aycock
will be present to make an address.

Carnegie's Philosophy.

A basketful of bonds is the heaviest
basket a young man ever had to carry
l would almost as soon leave a young
man a curse as burden him with the
almighty dollar.
l attribute most OF my success in life
to the fact that trouble runs off my back
like water from a duck.
Men who in old age strive only to in
cIease their already great boards are
usually the slaves of the habit Of hoard
ing formed in their youth At first they
own the money; later in life the money
owns them.
College graduates will usually be found
under salaries, trusted subordinates.
1t is not from the sons of the million
aire or the noble that the world receives
its teachers, its martyrs, its inventors,
its statesmen, its poets or even its men
of affairs. 1t is from the cottages of the
poor that all these spring.
1t will be a great mistake for the
community to shoot the millionaires, 70:
they are the bees that make the most
honey, and contribute most to the hive
after they have gorged themselves full.
Money is left by millionaires to pub
lie institutions when they must relax
their grasp upon it, There is no grace,
and can be no blessing, in giving what
cannot be vithheld.

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee that has so much TO

From underneath thatch of tangled

Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers, folding yours
so tight;
You do not prize this blessing overmuch--
You almost are too tired to pray to-
night.
But it is blessedness. A year ago

We are so dull and thankless, and too
slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away
And now it seems surprising strange to

The little child chat brought me only
good.
And if some night, when you sit down
to rest
You miss this elbow from your tired
This restless curling head from off your
your breast,
This lisping tongue that chatters con-
stantly;
If from your own the dimpled hands had
slipped,
And ne'er would nestle in your palm
again;
If the white feet into their grave had
tripped,

ache then.

At little children clinging to their

Or that the footprints, when ae days are

Are ever black enough to make them
frown.

Or cap, or Jacket on my chamber floor;
If could kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And hear it patter in my house once

Tomorrow make a kite to reach the
sky.
