POLITICS AND BUSINESS.
Candidate for Sheriff .yithdraws and

Especial to the News and Observer
Hickory, n. c.. Aug. 1S.-The DEM
ocrats of Hickory have begun the
campaign by organizing a Parker,
Davis and Glenn Club. with large
and an enthusiastic membership. Mr..
L. l.. Shuford. a successful cotton
manufacturer and a leading Demo-
crat, has been chosen president.
Mr.. Shuford is an aggressive and a
skillful politician and the fact that he
is president of the club insures its sue
cess.
EX-Sheriff J. w. BIackWelder was
last night elected cashier of the Hick-
DRY Banking and Trust Company. Mr..
Blackwelder has withdrawn from the
race for sheriff, leaving the way open
for the denomination of Sheriff Kill
liam. This straightens out an ugly
tangle that threatened serious injury
to the county Democracy. AS Sheriff
Killian is serving his first term. his
friends felt that he was entitled to
q denomination. On the other hand,
many supporters of Mr.. BlackWelder,
who was Mr.. Killian's predecessor.
thought that the former was unjustly
treated by the convention two years
ago and demanded his nomination as
4 vindication.
The situation is now relieved of
and all is harmonius in the warning
ranks.

Political Leaders Should Not Domi-

MarShVille Home


A prominent citizen of Raleigh, who
knows perhaps as much about politi-
cal conditions all over the State as
any man in it. remarked to Our Home
man last week that Union and Robe
son counties were dominated less Dy
political leaders than any other cour-
ties in the State. This is a compl-
nent that our people should appre-
ciate. We like to see people think
and act for themselves, independent
of those who tell them who to vote
for. Every man who goes to the
primaries should study the candidates
before he goes. If he doesn't know as
much about them as he desires he
should enquire about them before the
day of the primaries. 1t is not best
to wait till he gets TO the polls TO get
the desired information for en-
thusiastic workers and heelers often
eXaggerate. Some folks would call
ii lying, but we say eXaggerate be-
cause it sounds milder. If you cant
back your own judgment and have to
get somebody to tell you who to vote
for in the primaries. you'd Just as
well let somebody else vote for you

HON. JOHN I'll. SMALL.

The unanimous denomination of
the First district was a deserved rec
ognition of an able and faithful off,
cial. In the years that have gone
that district has been represented by
not few men of the first order of
ability, but never by one who has in so
short a term Of service won more
reputation or done more for his con-
stituents. 40 member of the North
Carolina delegation has won higher
position. Mr.. Small belongs to that class
of public men who make things come to
pass. To ability and knowledge OF
the needs of his constituency he adds
zeal and industry. knowledge of men,
progressiveness and has the essential
of success-"keepfng everlastingly at
it," @sy
The First district is wise to keep Mr..
Small in Congress. He has done much
to advance its interests. he has gained
information-and made for himself q
position that will give him greater
power for usefulness.
Mr.. Small belongs to that class Of
statesmen who lead and who lead in
the right direction. He does not sit
down and wait to see which way the
tide is going so as to float with the
waters. He is no trimmer, but res
olute leader who stands strongly for
the measures that will best promote
the welfare of his people. NO man
i'm the State has made his influence
felt more strongly for educ1uonal
progress, has had larger vision OF
the commercial possibilities CT EAST
ern North Carolina. or has labored
more diligently since boyhood to pro-
mote the industrial awakening which
is making Eastern North Carolina
rich and prosperous. Nominated by
reclamation, 1t would be an honor to
the First district to also elect him by
reclamation.

TWO WARDS In THE FIRST DIS
TRICT.

In the selection of Mr.. George w.
Ward, of Elizabeth City, for Judge
and Mr.. Hallett S. Ward, of Plymouth
for solicitor, the Democracy has
named two men who have won pro-
motion by honorable and useful pub
lie service.
Six years ago, not many years af-
ter his graduation at Wake Forest
College, Mr.. George w. Ward was
elected solicitor of the First district
When he was nominated, the outlook
for success was anything but bSjght,
but he entered the campaign with de-
termination to win. He found favor
with the people, was elected, and so
we'll did he administer the duties of
his high office that in / 9O2 he was re-
elected by largely increased major
ity. This year, though there were 9TH
er candidates of ability and popular
ity Mr.. Ward was nominated to sue
coed the Hon. George H. Brown, who
will resign as Superior court judge
on the first of October. to enjoy a va
cation from judicial labors until he
takes the oath of office as Associate
Justice of the Supreme court on the
first of January. Mr.. Ward has made
a capable and popular solicitor. He
will make an able and honorable
Judge.
Mr.. Hallett S. Ward. who was nom
mated for solicitor. has twice repre-
sented his district in the state Sem
ate with conspicuous ability. He is
a brilliant debater and some of his
speeches in the Senate deserve to rank
with the best efforts in that body of
this decade. He has always been true
to his convictions and his convictions
have been right and for the just
rights of the masses of the people, He
was a leader in memorable struggles
for fair tax laws that would compel
tax-dodging corporations to pay their
proportion of the burdens of govern
ment.
He is an eloquent orator, a brilliant
advocate, and will make one of the
ablest solicitors in the State-and that
is saying much, for among the solici-
tors in North Carolina are embraced
some of the first lawyers of North
Carolina. Mr.. Ward will rank with
the best.

DEATH ON AN EDITOR.

Asheville, n. G., Aug. 18.-W. b.
Northup this morning received d tele-
gram from Detroit announcing the
death last night of his brother-in-laW,
Frank T.. Robinson formerly editor of
the Asheville Citizen. The news Will
be received by the people of this city
with sorrow He came to Asheville in
1889 in search of health and shortly
thereafter purchased an interest in the
Citizen and became its editor. The
able and brilliant manner in which
that paper was edited during the time
Mr.. Robinson held the chair attracted
the attention of the press of the State.
He was a clean writer. a fearless edi-
tor, a strong party man. and the bat
ties he fought in behalf of the De-
mocracy of North Carolina, and par
ticularly this section Of the State. are
fresh in the memory. He was editor
of the Citizen from 1889 until 1898.
According to the figures of Charles l..
Badger who is making up the tax
books for the city of Asheville, n c.,
the total valuation of real and per-
sonal property in the four wards of
the city as listed is $6,955,542. thus
making a total increase in valuation
as listed over 1903 of $574,777.

K/lston Free Press.

K/lston Free Press.
The Free Press is not in a position
to advise" the A. & n. c. authorities
on the lease question. We are quite
sure that a lease to certain interests
would be detrimental to the road as
a piece of public property and also to
this section as a part of our common
State, and therefore to the whole
State. While this is so a lease to other
interest might be as decidedly benefi-
cial to all concerned.
The whole State is interested from a
financial as we'll as from a patriotic
standpoint in the development, and
progress of any considerable portion
of the commonwealth The Atlantic
q North Carolina road might be leased
to a corporation that would cOnceiv-
ably pay high rental for it as a feed
er to its system. and al the same time
we might in this section suffer because
of the disposition. Then it is not be-
yond the bounds of reason that the
road might be leased to interests that
would do much more to develop this
section and thus the State while at
hte same time offering a somewhat
lower rental
If such an alternative were present
ed we do not think that the State
should hesitate as to the proper course
to pursue. An open door policy and
one that will keep our door open will
pay the State in the end. Give this
section, if possible, the benefit of COM
petition. Give us the benefit of some
interest that will go to work to de-
velop Beaufort harbor and help us get
that inland waterway so as to convert
Morehead and Beaufort into cities and
add thousands in taxable property to
| the State tax list.
1t is not inconCeivable that some
| interests would be willing to pay a
fair rental just to keep this sort of
thing from being done.
