For Solicitor General.

To the Citizens and Voters of the
Blue Ridge Circuit:
| respectfully announce myself
candidate for Solicitor General of the
Blue Ridge Circuit, subject to the
Democratic primary. will appreciate
the support and influence of all voters
and citizens OF the circuit. If elected,
l will to the utmost OF my ability dis
charge the duties of the Office fairly,
honestly and impartially.
l believe that the present cost sys-
tenn of the Solicitor Generals Office
has outgrown its usefulness, and as
result, too many trivial cases are
brought into the court house and
whether elected or not, will advocate
the placing of Solicitor Generals on
salary.
l will have associated with me as
assistants, il elected, JOHN COLLINS,
OF Cherokee county, and CHARLIE
HARRIS, of Forsyth county, and they
will appreciate any help given me.

HON. GORDON LEE FOR
BETTER PUBLIC HIGHWAYS

Hon. Gordon Lee in his recent speech
on the subject of good roads said:
eff / had the privilege of writing
upon our statute books law that had
more of the promise and potency for
immediate and lasting good to all the
people than any law that has been pro-
posed or discussed in this Hall, it would
be law creating a department of pub
lie highways, to act through and in con-
junction with State, county, and munic-
ipal authorities in redeeming our coun-
try from the throes and thraldom of its
miserable roads, and l would give the
department not less than fifty millions
year until the work had reached
satisfactory stage of advancement.
Surely if we can go on spending hun
dreds of millions of dollars every year
in preparation for wars that may never
come, we can spare a few millions to
defend ourselves from the ravages of
bad roads, which are always here. A
certain and ever-present evil should
certainly command as earnest attention
and effort for it's removal as the pre-
vention of possible one."

WITH OUR EXCHANGES
JOSIAH CARTER.

Bernice Bell, negro boy, was dis
charged from the Forsyth hotel last
Saturday morning and that night the
hotel was burned and Bell was arrested.
A dispatch to the Macon Telegraph
says: Mrs. T. S. Holland, wife of the
sheriff, on going out to the hen house
in the Jail yard discovered an egg on
which were written the words "Bernice
Bell burned the hotel" 1t is an ordi-
nary sized hen egg, but with the letters
slightly raised the inscription is easily
desciphered. Nearly all of the people
OF Forsyth have been to the Jail to see
this phenomenon. The strange appear
ance of the egg just at this time, with
its accusing inscription is creating con-
stemation among the negroes.

view the situation with deep concern.
The next month is going to be one of
suspense. There is no estimating the
consequences of a mistake by the
Democrats. The appeal of the New
York World is not an appeal for Wilson,
not an appeal for the Democratic party,
but an appeal for the Republic, to save
it from the greatest menace since the
war between the States.
The World shows that the natural
alliance is between the south and the
East, and the World is right. The
sympathy between the West and the
South is a myth. The people of the
Eastern States and the people of the
South have closer business relations and
know each other ten times better than
the people of the West and the South.
New York is not very different from a
Southern town except in size. The
World is the paper that made the fight
that put Cleveland in the White House,
the only Democrat who has been
inaugurated since Buchanan.
The convention is going to be dead
locked. With all the delegates elected
except 146, Clark lacks $50 of the nee
essary 729, Wilson 499, Underwood 644.
Harmon 678. The World says Under
wood is unknown to the voters, that
Champ Clark would be hopelessly
beaten, that Bryan would lose again,
that Harmon's nomination has been
rendered impossible and that Woodrow
Wilson alone has the record of continu-
ing victory in the section in which vic
tory is essential to Democratic success.
And that is what your uncle said even
before Georgia threw away its vote
on Underwood.

The New York World, by long odds
the greatest Democratic paper in the
United States, and to my mind the
greatest newspaper Rn the world, has
come out in ringing editorial declar-
ing that Woodrow Wilson is the man
for the Democrats to nominate. The
World did not take position until Will
son had swept New Jersey and shown
his power to whip the political ring in
that State.
The reasons that are given by the
World are the same that gave more
than month ago-that Wilson is the
man who can carry New York and New
Jersey and that he is the type of man
to steer the ship in the storm that has
been raised by Rooseveltism and other
wild ideas that have gotten such start
in the country as to be a menace to
the stability Of things.
