Reasons Why MIR. A. J. McKin-
non Favors the Old Board of
70 the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonan:
Dear Sir, Il had not intended
taking any active part in the ap-
preaching primary for two rea-
sons: First, 1 have strong per-
sonal friends in both the law
yers, the board of audit and fl
nance and the board of commits
sioners and want them all to con-
tinue to be my friends; second, l
understand the primary is for
the purpose of giving each indi-
vidual an opportunity to Sc
lect and decide for himself
whom he wants for the va
rious offices and l think said
individual should be permitted to
decide without outside influence.
However, l heard yesterday
that a report was being circulat-
ed that l was opposing the pres
ent board of commissioners. AT
ter hearing this report decided
to say that | expect to vote
for the present board Of commits
sioners when the primary comes.
| helped nominate them at our
convention two years ago; |
thought then, and it was the
general opinion, that we put out
a very strong set Of men for COM
missioners. 1t was even talked
that the ticket was the strongest
we had ever had. They are the
same men now that they were
two years ago. They are not
only, in my judgment, men of
, honor, integrity and capacity,
but the majority of them are my
personal friends. Aside from
that, it has always been my pol
? icy that where there was a home
man, and only one, applying
,, for a county Office, to support
MIN, or a county man applying
for a district or State office tt
l support him; and l see no reason
:, , for changing this policy.
| They admit they have made
r mistakes and if we were de
manding perfect men who die
, not make mistakes to fill our off
ces, the offices would be vacant
If on the day of the primar!
: the test of a mans right tt
vote should be He that i!
without mistakes cast the frs
ballot, " wouldn't all the ole
f officers remain in office for wan
:. of single vote to either elect O
t defeat them?
e Yours very truly,
: A. ]. MCKINNON.

Qualifications of Mr.. w. H. Nc
Lellan for Commissioner,

To the Editor of The Robesonian
Some of the Democrats of
Thompson's township have per-
suaded Mr.. w. H. Mcclellan, of
our township, to enter the race
for county commissioner. Mr.. Nc
Lellan did not seek the office but
only consented to run after a
large number of the best Demo-
Gratis of the township urged him
to do so. He has never been in
politics, but we can safely say
that there is not a better man in
the county. He is one of the best
farmers and has one of the best
cultivated farms in the county.
He is a man about IS years of age
who started as a young man with
practically nothing, and has made
all he has today.
He is not only one of the best
farmers in the county, but is an
all round good business man. He
is a director in the Bank of Row.
land, a large stockholder in sew
eral cotton mills near Rowland,
and also interested in a good many
other business enterprises.
We desire to say to the Demo
Gratis of Robson county that if
they will nominate Mr.. Mcclellan
for one of the county commits
sioners they will not only do g
great service to the county, but
they will also do a great service
to the Democratic party. This
is the time when the Democratic
party of Robson county needs
just such a man. He will hew tc
the line and run the county or
strictly business basis, what.
ever the particular interests il
may hurt or help. He will work
for the best interests of all the
people, and if he cannot save g
good many dollars for Robson

Big Delegation from That City Wear
ing the Red Arose Enthusiasm.

When a big delegation from Mt.
Pleasant arrived wearing the red
badges and displaying many appro-
pirate banners there was great enthu-
siasm among the Carmack people The
$50 o'clock train from that place
brought seventy-nine with Carmack
badges and twenty-three with the Pat
terson colors At about the same
hour the train from Lewisburg came
in with sixty-five for Carmack and
twenty-five for Patterson. This dele.
cation also awoke the echoes when 1t
marched up the main streets Of the
city. Many came from the Culleoka
section and almost to man wore the
red badges.

cARMAcK'c RECEPTION.
Senator Gets Rousing Welcome From
His Neighbors.

That this was Carmack day in Col
umbia no unbiased and informed mind
would for one moment question.
There is a decided preponderence of
the red colors Of the temperance cham
pion, while the colors of the machine
were displayed at few places. The
crowd in the city when Carmack ar
rived was, at a conservative estimate
three to one. This was about the
ratio at the depot and 1t was more
than maintained ON the streets. Both
sides displayed plenty Of enthusiasm,
but II was evident that the Patterson
people were disappointed that their
much Wanted superiority of numbers
had failed most signally to material
ice
Carmack received a reception that
must have been gratifying to him in
the extreme. From the moment that
he aliehted from the accommodation
train at 10 O'Clock until he closed his
two hours later. he was given one con-
tinuous ovation He was cheered all
along the line OF march from the sta !
tion to the court house. In fact both
sides were exhuberent and cheers
were frequent and prolonged from !
both OF the factions. The Patter-
son people apparently made every
effort to make up In cheering what I
they lacked in numerical strength.
When Senator Carmack stepped
from the train he was surrounded by
the members OF the reception COM
mittee and taken at once to a beau
tifully decorated carriage, perhaps one
OF the handsomest that has been seen
