date for Congress.
Kenly, N. c., June 23

Kenly, N. c., June %.
Mr.. Editor: l have read the let
ter from Nash county in your last
weeks paper, and write to approve
in part of the sentiments expressed
in it; but We folks in this part of
old Johnson are opposed to running
federal officers on the ticket unless
they resign their jobs, because folks
won't vote for them like other men,
If we have got to have a man like
that, what is the matter with John
Daniel Parker, postmaster at Smith
field? He is a graduate of the Uni
versity of the State of North Caro-
lima and came nearer carrying John
son county against Ed Pou by a big
majority than any other man in the
district. Besides, Johnson county is
entitled to name the man if it wants
to, for she is the banner county in
this district for local self-govern-
ment and Republican voters. Mr..
Parker is clean young man, and
an old Republican. But as l said
before, We are opposed to naming a
federal officeholder for Congress in
this district, and it looks like a trick
got up just to keep somebody else
from making the race and being
elected outside of an oficeholder.
He polled 1,700 majority against the
Democratic machine in the May cleo
ton, and it looks like to me we have
got a good chance to carry the dis
trict this time If we nominate a good
man who will try to be elected and
not one just to fill out the ticket, as
has been done by the federal Office
holders heretofore. I don't know
! many of the leading men in the dis
trict, but we have Mr.. Berry Goodwin
and j. G. Stancil in this county, both
good men, and neither of them hold
| any federal job.
We came near catching a big part
of the storm which passed down
through Wilson the other day, and
did so much damage. Our farmers
are in good spirits over 12-cent cot.

and want to let well enough alone

The Democrats had lively time
here Saturday. The fight seemed to
be on candidates for governor. The
leaders remained at the polls and
worked hard. They sent out and
hauled them in. The farmers never
came out much. They voted all the
Republicans they could. Men would
start to the polls for a certain can
didate, and in two minutes were en-
ticed to vote for the other fellow.
Primaries are all right IL every voter
could go and vote his own convic-
tions. But as it is, 1t is no improve
ment over the old way. A few men
run it any way. c. c. Moore ran
ahead. A few complimentary votes
were given Major w. A. Graham.
For Governor, the vote stood as fol-
lows: Craig, 254: Horne. 113:
Kitchin, 81. The vote was light. II
it had not been on Saturday, there
would have been no vote, hardly.
| They first decided to have their pri.
mary on June goth. Some of the
party managers decided to have II
four weeks earlier. The Horne and
Kitchin men claim 1t was done I'm the
| interest of Craig. The result doe:
seem to prove it.

sisted them ter the polls an actually
let them vote, pervided they voted fer
the pollytishuns. Sum ov the mem
bers ov the Allicance then began to
talk like they wuz free American sit

pollytishuns accused the Allianeemen
ov bein' in pollyticks. Sum ov them
did not mind that. fer they had a
sneakin' idea that one American sit

others got hit into their heads that
ter go into pollyticks wuz serious

Governor Glenn favors a legalized
primary system for the entire State
instead of the present primary sys-
tenn now used by the Democratic
party. He thinks the present sys-
TEN is corrupt. No one disputes that
fact. But the Democrats are the
ones that have made it corrupt, and
let them stop the primary system.
Why should the State be made to
pay the expense of holding their pri-
maries? If they are not satisfied

To the Voters I'm the Republican
Party of Johnston County.

We. the undersigned Republican
executive committee of Pleasant

OF endorsing Len. o. Ogburn. a man
of this precinct. for the Office of reg
lister of deed Of Johnson county. Hav-
ing known him all of his life we feel
that We can not too highly recon-
mend hinl to the voters Of Johnston
county, and could say much in his
behalf, but as a multiplicity OF
words are useless when speaking OF
a business man, and especially Just
now. However, we beg OF you 10
suffice us to say that we know SEN
ator Ogburn to be a man whose char
acter Is without a blemiah. gen
tleman OF the highest type. clean.
truthful and honest: a man who had
rather be than pretend TO be; q man
who believes in equal rights TO all
and special privileges to none: a man
who prefers TO add to instead OF
taking from-to build up rather than
tear down. And for these reasons,
together with others, we do most
heartily indorse him and ask the
voters OF the Republican party OF
Johnston county TO nominate him for
the Office of register OF deeds. He
is fully capable OF the duties of this
office. Nominate him and we prom
ise you now that he will make
| campaign as honest and gentlemanly
as he is himself and win victory for
the Republican party In Johnston
county.
Respectfully,

We have received letters from two

Mr.. Editor:--I see In your last
issue you invite the opinion of Re-
publicans throughout the State for
their choice as TO the most suitable
man for the party To name az the
standard-bearer for Governor. | am

my own special or personal prefer
ence, but based upon the idea as TO
who can break the ranks OF the Dem
ocratic party and get more votes than
any Republican in the State-for ar
tories II Is II We are TO succeed. We
have to get recruits from the enemy.
let every Republican in the State
who desires success, keep this In
mind and discard any personal feel
ing whatever and go into the fight
with a solid unbroken front. with
this sentiment that the pot Is gone
and forgotten. Let the dead put
away the dead Now with this idea
firmly fixed. and loyalty adhered TO
Marion Butler is the man who can
and will lead US to victory. Nomi-
nate him, he viii give ns a glorious
victory, the field will be strewn with
the crop OF the Bourbon Democrats.
and North Carolina will have the
greatest Republican party OF any
State in the Union. His administra-
ton will be honest and in full accord
with the best interest of all the peo-
pie of the State. Capital and labor
will be treated alike and confidence
est in the grand old State, and the
party under his administration will
become the dominant party in the
State for years to come. In them
ask with all sincerity, and without
any feelings or prejudice to any one.
Patriotism and unselfishness enough
amongst those who from jealousy or
any other motives will lay 1t aside
and give this man (that the Demo
Gratis hate and fear more than any
other man in the State) their loyal
support will bring US victory. Lei
the people have a chance and they
will do the right thing.

WOMAN ESCAPES LYNcHlNe.
French Mob Seeks Vengeance on Al
legged Stranger of Son.

Nancy, France, May ia woman
named Jeanne Weber narrowly es.
capped lynching here Saturday at the
hands of an Infatuated mob after 1t
had been learned that she was guilty
of brutally strangling a seven-years
old son to death.
Several months ago the Weber
woman was arrested in Paris charged
with the murder of over a score of
children. The affair created a great
sensation at the time. Doctors who
examined her expressed the belief
that she was victim of infanticidal
mania, and as no proof to secure a
conviction could be found she was al
lowed to go. The woman arrived
here, and under an assumed name she
secured lodgings in the home of a
Workingman. She was found asleep
with the dead body of the boy by her
side. The child had been strangled,
He was covered with blood and his
tongue had been cut out When the
identity of the murderess had become
known an immense crowd gathered
outside the house, shouting: Let us
get at the ogress," and tried to lynch
her.
