JUDGE CAMPRELI.

Good for Judge Campwell, of Am
herst. He was game to the last and
always loyal to the core. This
weeks issue of the Amherst .New
Era, Of which Judge Campwell is
the editor aud owner, has an editorial
on the subject of the recent primary,
from which we take the following ex-
tract:
"The Democratic primary of Sep
TENDER ID, 1908, is a thing of the past.
Our hat to DIR. Don Scott, aud sue
cesful opponent. He is our nominee
and as soon as the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee recanyass the vote
and declare him the nominee his
name will 60 at the head of our ed
itoral columns as the Democratic
nominee. We are no kicker, no
sorehead and take our medicine like
q man. He who cannot stand defeat
does not deserve victory"
Judge Campbell made a game
fight, and as We said day or two
ago fought like q man who believed
in the righteousness of his cause.
He askad no mercy for himself
and he always hit above the belt.
He thought majority of the people
Of his county were with him. He
had some reason to think 80, but the
primary convinced him of his error
Now being convinced, he Loyalty
abides the decision, and there is nc
cry baby sentiment in his declaration
al extract from which we give above

A WISE BUSINESS DEAL.

Mr.. James Brinkley a prominent farmer
living near Drivers in Nanesmond county
died recently while in the prime OF life. and
his death illustrates forcibly the Importance
OF certain precautions in business matter
that men are often likely to overlook.
Nearly all business mon, and particularly
men in the BUSH ess of farming, have plans in
hand at all times that others cannot take up
on the instant and mature successfully. They
must have time to become familiar with
details, and have ready money TO cover delays
involved, as well as to continue operations.
Mr.. Brinkley could always command money
needed to tide him over emergencies; but for
his estate to do such a thing is entirely diff
ferent proposition.
Mr.. Brinkley was always active In business
and seldom had large balance in bank. He
kept his money at work. AS a consequence,
when stricken down by death, business losses
would almost certainly have ensued had he
not forseen such difficulties and as a prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking out a policy of life insurance In
the Phoenix Mutual of Hartford. The money
received from The Phoenix In payment OF this
policy was. as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw, worth
several times the amount to his family In the
protection which it afforded Its various
interests.
Upon receipt OF request we will serd pam
pilot describing Phoenix policies.

OF Delegates.


EDITOR CITIZEN
At the urgent solicitation of many
OF the Democratic voters of Fair.
fields, DIR. w. p. Sydnor has con.
sented to become a candidate for the
nomination of Delegate to the Gen.
ersl Assembly from Northumberland
and Westmoreland counties. To
those who know DR.. Sydnor, his fit-
ness for the position goes without
question. He is a man of fine edu-
cation and presence. He is endowed
naturally with good understanding.
and the experience of years has ma.
tured him into man of exception
ally good judgment and discretion.
DE is q man of positive onvictions.
and ne has what everybody admires,
backbone that enables him to have
the courage of those con yictions.
he stands for law and order, and
altogether is of the best type of
citizen. There is nothing wishy-
washy about him, that makes him
turn his sails to catch each passing
breeze. There is nothing of the
cemagogue about him that will cause
him to subvert his personality for
the moment to gain the adherence of
a transient admirer. What he says
he will do he does, or knows the
reason why. He is true to his con-
ception of duty, and does it regard
less of howls or jeers. Taking him
altogether he ia safe man. He will
do to cite to-" and the people of the
two counties can do no better than
to confer the nomination upon him.
Respectfully,
