The bill transferring Wilkes coun-
ty from the Eleventh Judicial district
to the Thirteenth and Ashe from the
Thirteenth district TO the Eleventh
district was vigorously opposed by Mr..
Fcimstcr Of the Thirteenth, Who de-
clared the object Of tho bin was simply
to give the Eleventh district a Demo-
cratic solicitor without danger of cone
test. He said that when the Eleventh
| was made it was safely Democratic
and the Thirteenth was made Repub-
lican, and now a further special priv
ilege was being sought for one man.
If by the failure of the Democrats
of the safe Eleventh district TO stand
together for Democratic policies they
had placed the Democratic district in
jeopardy, they should not be allowed
now TO make the Thirteenth district
overwhelmingly Republican by tack
ing Wilkes on 1t. and take advantage
of their own wrong

earnest appeals to Democrats to stand
by them and pass the bin to prevent
having two Republican solicitors in
the future instead of one. DR.. Alex

as the lived, but he did not believe il
was right TO begin this work Of jerry
Wandering districts for no other rca-
son than purpose to make 1t easier
to carry one Democratic.
