News and Observer.
Durham Democracy has done hon
or to itself and honor to the State, as
well as a real service to both. Nam
ing it's first citizen, General Julian S.
Carr as its candidate for the House
Of Representatives it has taken fully
paid up insurance that it will be most
ably represented, and that no interest
of the State will be neglected because
Of the member from Durham.
General Carr is not a man "discov
cred" by any one. He found" him
self and his deeds have been such that
he is not alone known closely and in
timately in every part of North Car
| DINA, but his reputation as man
who does things is not shut in by
State lines.
There is no question of his election
and that by a great majority, for he
| is Durham's best loved and most in
fuential citizen. He will bring to the
General Assembly the ripened expe-
rience of a man who knows life and
affairs, IL success in business, one
whose heart beats in unison with the
needs OF his fellow man. His expe-
rience has been such that all North
Carolina will have the benefit of a
matured Judgment, plus the greatest
of all things to be desired in a North
Carolina legislator, that being an In
tense and absorbing love for the State
1t is his heart that sings Carolina
Carolina, Heavens blessings attend
her." and "The Old North State for
ever is slogan that he wears side
by side with the other, '1'm Demo
GRAFT"
There is no need in North Caroline
to attempt to recapitulate the public
events of General Carr's life,-for al
the State knows them, and knows
that he has done many big things
but a man has to live close indeed tt
him to get even a hint of the many
kindly deeds, the acts of uplift, fol-
which there is credit due him. HI
just can't keep from helping others
for it is in the fibre OF the man. AnC
so when he comes TO act the legisla
tor his work will be for the betterine
of every interest where it is possible
1t is good thing for North Caroline
that the Democracy of Durham has
done.
The Democracy of the entire State
will applaud the action of the Democ
racy of Durham Especially will THU
be IL source of qualification to the vet
Grams Of the dwindling lines of grey
who love General Carr, the Comman
der-in-Chief of the North Carolina Di
vision OF United COnfederates Vetpr
ans, as few men are loved, and wht
have knowledge that he will pusl
"farthest to the front" every measur,
that will be of help to them, caus
for which Democracy stands ever il
arms.
The nomination came unsOught t
General Carr. 1t was forced on him
and the State is glad. He wanted t
decline the honor declaring that h.
was too old but he is not, for he ha
that virility and vigor that will Civ
years of service yet to his State. TIL
Democracy reioices that he is to be il
the House, the State feels its interest
will be safeguarded and promoted b.
him, and it can say amen an
Amen" to every word of Genera
Carr's remarks when he was seekin,
to avoid the nomination aud said t,
the Democratic County Conyentio
in Durham:
Gentlemen: | have been serving
the Democratic party all my life Be
fore many of you were born | wa
actively engaged in fighting the bat
ties OF Democracy l have never, i
all my life, turned back when my sci
vices were needed. Regardless ofpel
sonal feeling or personal interests
have obeyed the call OF Democrat
at all times"
"Jule" Carr, as his friends love I
call him, has aptly described himse
in these few words. The State
proud of him and will welcome hir
gladly to its legislative halls. Dul
ham Democracy has done well an
congratulations will go to it frOT
every part OF the State because OF til
honor it has paid to that splendi
citizen, Julian S. Carr. And beside
this the State applauds vigorousl
the patriotism which causes Generf
