WHO CAAHOy BE CURED.

Backed up by over third of century
of remarkable and uniform cures, record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprletors and makers Of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering TO pay $500 in
legal money of the United States for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness,

cannot cure. All they ask is fair and

Him With Pistol.

c. NJ Jones, the husband of the
Mrs. Jones, of Fuquay Springs. con-
corning whom George T. Huff is now
under $500 bond TO appear at court,
charged with criminal assault, was
yesterday placed under a $25 bond
for his appearance at court.
Jones was charged by Huff with in
timidating him With a pistol on the
preliminary hearing of Huff before the
magistrate at Fuquay Springs, the
purpose being to prevent him, so
Huff alleges, from giving his teSti-
mony. Magistrate Reid reduced the
500 bond under which Jones had

Ward has had so much; and yet from
tbair own statements Mr.. Smith seems
to have been on the honor roll of the
Democratic party quite as long as
Mr. Ward. TO be a member of the
General Assembly is an honor that /
would hardly consider second to that
of solicitor.
for solicitor six years ago the nomi-
nation was. not wanted by any one,
for the reason that there seemed at
that time no chance of election: but
Mr. Ward submitted to the sacrifice,
not expecting to win. He went into
the campaign and did win, however,
he if said to his credit. He has been
in every campaign since, whether a
candidate or not. and no man has
struggled more faithfully for the sue
cess of the party
Referring to the statement that
there are other lawyers in the dis
trict who have stronger claims to the
iudgeship, / would like to ask them
what constitutes claim to a favor
of this character? In my mind no
man has a claim on the patronage of
the Democratic party, but / can think
of no man mentioned yet with whose
"claims." if such you prefer to call it,
Mr. Wards cannot measure up. If
a sufficient acquaintance with the law,
experience in its administration, a
ready Judgment, cool and determined
Temperament, and a lifetime of un-
impeachable personal conduct does
not qualify him, then what is your
definition of the qualification? And
if this unwavering loyalty to his par
ty. country, and its institutions fails
to furnish a claim at least equal to
that of any other then l will confess
that / do not know what you mean
by "claim."
/ agree with them in argument TO
the effect that the office of judge
should not be made the football of
self-seeking politicians and man,pu-
lators, and no man could be mora
firm in his advocacy of such princi-
pies than Mr.. Ward himself. The
great modesty with which he is al
lowing his name to be used in con-
nection with this office speaks louder
along this line than mere words He
has instituted no active candidacy
for himself but his friends have fer
him.
Mr. Ward is known not only in
this judicial district, but throughout
the State, to be an able lawyer and
pleasant Christian gentleman, and
when the time comes to nominate a
Judge for this district, Dare county
will be glad to support him.

For Judge of The First District.

To the Editor: The article appear
ing in The News and Observer June
Bird, and in the Tar Heel of the same
week relative to the judgeship and
solicitorship of this district, discovers
a new sentiment and new methods in
partisan politics.
While nothing is said directly re-
iecting upon Hon, George w. Ward
yet there is an Impotence or aggra-
walton permeating the whole article
which together with other acts and
deeds from the same source furnish
unmiStakable evidence that those men
do not propose to tolerate the candi-
dacy of any man save the man whose
claims they are pressing. 1t has al
ways been my understanding that
the wise and fair course is never to
raise yourself by the traduction of an
opponent and especially, when as in
this case, the opponents friends are
legion.
In their article from Gainesville they
start out by reminding us in no I'M
certain language that there is no va
cancy in the office of judge nor in
that of solicitor, and in the end they
commit the inconsistency of announc-
ing in thunder tones that Mr.. l.. l..
Smith is their candidate for this very
office in which there is no vacancy.
L
vacancy enough for Mr.. L. l.. Smith
to become judge, there ought to be
vacancy sufficient for Mr.. Ward, or
some other good man who has an
equal right to aspire with Mr. Smith.
If Mr.. Ward chooses to seek the
nomination for judge, is successful,
and thereby Vacates his office as So
licitor as far as he is concerned,
there would seem to be no objection
the argument about ''unmaking a So
licitor to make a judge" 1t is q.
custom as old as time itself that
when a man has been faithful over
a few things he is entitled to pc
made ruler of many, and the good
they SO truthfully say about his per-
Torrance of the duties of solicitor
should only tend to recommend him
as worthy man for greater trust. 1t
is the natural bent of every human
being to reach for higher things, and
indeed it is commendable one. They
say it is not wise to take him red
hot from the solieitorship with the
spirit of prosecution in his soul, and
make him Judge, lest he might be
wanting in that humanity and mercy
which should proceed from the
bench. These men must not know
George Ward. | would say that his
practice as solicitor forms COM
paratively small part of his practice
of the law. When you come to con-
slider that he has by sheer industry
and indomitable will, come to be one
of the busiest practitioners of the
civil as we'll as criminal law, alternat-
ing in his labors between plaintiffs
and defendants, you can begin to see
why his service as solicitor could not
materially warp his cool deliberation.
Besides George w. Ward is not made
of that stuff which even a longer
period of service as prosecuting at
torney could unfit for judge.
They go further and say that Mr..
Smith has had nothing, While Mr.,
