Tho date for the primaries for both
parties having been fixed for August
zoth, the date agreed upon BY the
respective State Chairmen, Messrs.
Hanna and vandiver, as provided by
the new primary law. candidates are
already springing up for the nomination
for the various Offices. The nomination
for the office Of Sheriff seems to bs the
most attractive for those desiring to
enter the political arena this fall. Thus
far the following gentlemen have been
mentioned some Of whom have already
begun to make an active canvass for the
support Of the voters. Messrs. X. Lee
Tippett, benjamin B. Compton, John E.
Sray and Rudolph Burroughs. No
candidates for any other office have
been mentioned except the names Of
MeSsfs. John +. Mudd and George +.
Medley for the House Of Del'ga'es.
Both Of these gentlemen have been
spoken Of by their friends in highest
terms.
Under the new primary election law
all persons desiring to be candidates on
the ticket Of either party have right
to submit their candidacy for the
nomination desired to the voters Of the
respective parties. and they are vots d
for directly 10 the primaries as in
general election. The candidate for
any nomiration receiving the highest
number Of votes is declared the
nominee Of his party for the office to
which he aspises. All persons desiring
TO be candidates for any Office therefore
having a right to submit their candidacy
to the people there will be no more
boss made tickets in the r publican
party. Those who enter the primary
fight should go in and make the best
fight they can AID il defeats should
then put their shoulders to the Wheel
and work for their successful opponent
and the entire ticket. No candidate
will be able to blsme any arty leaders
for his failure TO land any NJ Mutation.
1t is up to the people aud il they do
not see fit 10 erdt rise him then it IS his
duty to submit to the will Of the people
We have heard Of no fort upon the
part of the party leaders of the Rerubli-
can party to name any man for any
office or tiv to force his nomination
and hence no blame can be attached to
any of them for the failure of any
candidate before the people. Will
bcssism a dead issue the Republican
party should and we confidently believe
will present united front at the c ming
ell ction aud elect good men to repre-
sent the people of the County peop'e
who feel deep interest in its welfare.
The people Of this County demand the
nomination and election Of men who
are solely devoted to the advancement
and pro gress OF our county along good
business lines and not along political
lines. Politics seem to be keynote of
the present administration of the
County affairs and this the people will
not stand and want to rid themselves of
befo. e any further danger Is done Wei
beiieye that the best men should be
nominst d fol the different Offices and
hence. we urge the voters to consider
this when casting their votes on
August 29th next.

MAN.

A bundle OF contradictions,
A package Of gruuts and groans,
With nothing to throw at his betters,
But suds and skillets and stones.
Amiable only when getting
His own way all the while
Till you wonder II he has feeling,
And you wonder if he can smile.
Sinister, saucy and stubborn,
Childish as child again
At a twinge Of the rheumatism,
Or any old kind Of pain
Thinking that people haven't
A thing TO do in this grim.
And toiling land of the living
But hurry and wait on him.
Touchy and vain and bilious,
Grouchy and like bear,
And wonders why people don't love
him,
And wonders why people DOM
care
This is his picture, ladies,
The others are like him. you'n see
Self h and weak and foolish
And they are all that way but me !

1t Takes Courage

To speak the truth when, by
a little prevarication, you can
get some great advantage.
To live according to your
convictions.
To be what you are, and not
pretend to be what you are not
To live honestly within your
means and not dishonesty up
on the means of others.
To refuse to knuckle and
bend the knee to the wealthy,
even though poor.
To refuse to make a living
in questionable vocation.
To refuse to do a thing which
you think is wrong, because it
is customary and done in trade.
To be talked about and yet
remain silent when a word
would justify you in the eyes
of others, but which you cannot
speak without injury to anoth-
er.
To face ISLANDERS and lies and
to carry yourself with cheer
fulness, grace and dignity for
years before the lie can, be cor
rected.
To stand firmly erect while
others are bowling and fawning
for praise and power.
To remain in honest poverty
while others grow rich by quest
ionable methods.
To say "No" squarelv when
those around you say Eyes"
To do your duty in silence,
obscurity and poverty, while
others about prosper through
neglecting or violating sacred
obligations.
Not to bend the knee to pop
ular prejudice. Success.
