JOB WORK A SPECIALITY

THE first primary is a thing OF
past, and the voters of the dis
trict by a majority of 2S6 express
ed a preference for Hon. A. M.
Stack for Judge. The friends of
Judge Walter E. Brock are natur-
ally disappointed that he failed
to secure the nomination; but
they have the satisfaction OF
knowing that a majority of the
voters in five out of six counties
OF the district were for MIR.
Brock. Mr.. Stacks majority in
the one county of Union was of
such size as to overbalance
Brooks majorities in the other
five counties.
Both Mr.. Brock and Mr.. Stack
are gentlemen of the highest type.
Both are able lawyers, fair and
just men. The Democracy is
splendidly represented in Mr..
Stack, even as it would have been
had Mr.. Brock been the success
full candidate. The people have
expressed themselves, and as is
the case with all true Democrats
the will of the majority rules and
should rule.
As the standard bearer of De.
mocracy in the November elect
ion, Judge-to-be Stack will reflect
honor upon the Party, and be a
worthy representative.

OUT of four candidates for Con-
gress in an Oregon primary, one
favored wine and beer, and the
other three were for making
stronger the prohibition law.
Who won? The Volsteaders re-
ceived 42,485 votes to only 2,214
for the wine and beer candidate.
The irreconcilables would make
us believe the people as a whole
are eager to get wine and beer
back again; but such is not the
case, unless it be in foreign-ele.

true in a native.born population
such as Richmond county and

Charlotte Follows
Lead of Rockingham.

An article in Wednesdays
Charlotte paper states that our
neighboring city has made new
street lighting contract that will
do away with the old arc lamps
and install in their stead 600
candle.power incandescents for
the business section, and smaller
lamps of the same type in the
residential section.
We think that this is a good
move. About two years ago we
made this same change, and it is
a known fact that we secured a
very much better lighting sys-
tenn, at almost no increased cost.
About six months after we made
our change the city of Pittsburg,
Pa, installed $500 lights of the
same type we use, and now
Charlotte has seen the light, and
wants it too. Better lighting is
/ of great value in decreasing crime
and lessening the number OF au.
tomobile accidents.
Rockingham is a good town fo1
others to pattern after, and the
Queen City is rejecting credit or
its judgment in following in this
towns footsteps.

THERE is no controversy over
woman suffrage; their voting is a
fact, and an accepted fact by al
most every man. And the most
of them view their voting with
approval.
But such bunk as a woman
pulled at Goldsboro primary day
doubtless causes a tinge of shame
to come to the cheeks of the more
ardent woman supporters. The
daily press states that a former
president of the League of Wom-
en- Voters last Saturday at Colds
boro visited the voting place at
the courthouse and purified"
politics when she grabbed a hun.
dred or more marked ballots and
tore them up. The man marking
the ballots was naturally dunn
founded and could say little ex-
cept to challenge her to bring a
man in the courthouse to try such
a stunt.
Any candidate has a perfect
right to have printed a bunch of
tickets at his own expense, SINH
lar in every detail to the regular
ballots furnished by the county.
And he can have his own name
marked on them if he chooses
and endeavor to have this ballot
voted. No voter is going to cast
a ballot blindly; he or she is 60
ing topersonally check the names
desired; and if the marked ballot
doesn't suit, then it can be dis
carded and another secured. 1t
is done at every voting place and
there is no trickery in it; but this
would-be purifier at Goldsboro
very likely thought she was max
ing a grand play, when as a mat
ter of fact it merely caused folks
to laugh.

PLANS for a memorial park on
the memorable fields of the
first and second Manassas have
taken definite shape, and the
whole South will be pleased and
readily respond financially. The
Manassas Battlefield Confederate
Park, to cost over a million dol
lars, will be established both as
"a memorial to valor and in the
interest of American history.
The campaign for funds will
doubtless be formally launched
at the approaching Reunion at
Richmond to be held June 2O-22.

CHARGED with numerically
beating his daughter, Walter
Stephens, colored, testified in city
court at Raleigh Monday that he
had "jes' breshed her off" with a
broom handle when she disobeyed
him. Judge Harris told him that
he thought a disobedient child
should be punished, but that a
broom handle was a trif1e over
doing the job. Stephens replied
that he raised ten children by
that method and had never killed
a one.

The action of the Commission
ers of Richmond county in de-
fraying the railroad fare of all
Confederate veterans of this
county to the Reunion that meets
in Richmond June 2O-22 will be
approved by the people. The
ranks of the vets are thinning
rapidly, and our county will not
have the privilege of doing this
much longer. It is expected that
fully 5000 of the surviving $4,000
Confederate veterans will attend
the Reunion, and this paper hopes
that every Confederate veteran
in Richmond county will make
the effort to go to Richmond.

that tackles have been, are, and
