THE Smithfeld Herald, published
III Mr. Horne's home county, says
this of his candidacy:
The strength Mr.. Horne has devel-
oped in many counties is very encOur
aging to him and his campaign
managers He is making Il fine race
and will 90 into the Charlotte Con
ventiOn holding the balance OF power.
His friends are in earnest and will
fight for their favOrite to the end.
OF unusual interest to manufac-
turers is the June number of the
american Industries. New York.
This is souvenir numi,er of the 18th
annual convention of the National
Association of Manufact urers, held at
the Waldorf-Astoria, on May 18th
to Goth. In addition to the details
OF the meeting and the speeches in
full there are n number OF illustra-
trations which give increased inter
est and value and make it u number
TO be priced and preserved.
MIR. Bennett III. Perry announces
himself a candidate for the Legisla-
ture subject to the action of the
Democratic primaries. This he does
ut the solicitation of numerous
friends who have pledged him their
support. Mr. Perry is n bright
young man, Il lawyer by profession,
and those who have urged him to
become Il candidate do so believing
he would make good representa-
tue, laboring at all times with an
eye single to the best interests of all
the people of the county.
As II sample of the choice language
used by politicians toward each other
in the recent campaign in Georgia,
take this from Judge Twiggs, who
was paying his respects to Rev. Leon
q. Broughton of Atlanta:
''lle is nothing but fonl-mouthed
scavenger OF the tilthiest falsehoOd,
lantern-iawed political pole-cat."
Commenting on this the Columbia
Record says DR.. Broughton has kept
everything i'll Il turmoil that he has
had anything to do with ever since
he has been in Georgia, and it is
reasonable to presume that he gave
the Judge as good as he sent

GOVERNOR Glenn of North Carolina
follows closely in the footsteps of
Governor Swanson of Virginia. After
occupying the anxious bench, and
observing n wise reticence in regard
to Presidential candidates until the
result was no longer i'll doubt, both
OF these wary politicians come boldly
forward advocating the support of
Bryan by the conventions of their
respective States Such rashness
might also deserve to- be-ealied te-
merity.-Norfolk Tirginian-Pilot.
1t is to be hoped that such patri-
otic sacrifice and surrender of per-
sonal ambition will not result in re-
firing either of these heroic gentle
men to private life ard the obscurity
OF the little farm whence they came.

The Charlotte Observer of Sunday
has cuts of the young men and they,
are a handsome, manly looking,
Justly set of fellows who will doubt
less be heard from in future.
While they are fussing over the
