Johnson i Attokmft-at Law i Ahoakir. North Carolina < Practice* wherever service* desired i as few men have known them. There is not a county in the State in which he has not spoken, whose people be does not know; He knows, there fore, how to fit his Court to the life of the people who have busi ness in it; and he knows what the people are thinking about, because he thinks with them. Fourth: His active membership in various societies that study mat ters that come before our courts, fits him to deal with the great problems arising out of the ad ministration of the crimnal law. He knows how to protect society without crushing the criminal and be knhws how to lift the crimnal to better citizenship without dis regarding the sacred rights of the other member* of society, their Demon or their property. A property owner Imrulf he protect* the property of other*. Fifth: He know* the legislation of our State for the past quarter of * century. He ha* participated in 'it* passage ang presided over it* enactment, thd therefore, know* the drift of our statute law and how to administer it in the spirit of the people, He has fav? red all the great constructive legislation of that time and therefore will administer the law both in letter and its spirit. His position on these mutters is well known and he take* a decided stand on all questions, which i* an essential quality :n a Judge. sixth: . He is deeply humanitarian in thought and practice, and no 1 injustice would be done by him. 1 He has studied our great chant- ' able and eleemosynary institutions 1 and knows them thoroughly. ' As grand Master of Masons the 1 Orphan Asylum was hia peculiar ' Study and he well knows how to lead the youthful offender away 1 from the jail to a life of purity ' and honesty. Seventh: He loves his State and section . and is willing to make sacrifices ^ for the people. When .appointed ( Judge he was United States At torney and engaged in a large j private practice, but it was not a | question of dollars and cents with him. It was simply a quae- ' tion of service to the people. _ No call has ever been too obscure for him. The small remote school 1 is as dear to him as the great col- J lege, and his speeches in each ' have been prepared with care and ' equally strong. He cheerfully 1 makes sacrifices for others. The ' high honor of the bench and a ' chance to render 'efficient and ac- ' ceptable service are the only ex- ' cuses he gives for accenting the Judgeship. - I p mwniN ? He ban had exi>erience on the bench. Some years ago -Govern or Aycock api/ointed him Judge, and be held regular and special terms all over the State. No Judge was in greater demand. When he received his present appointment hundreds of letters and telegrams came to him and to Governor Craig approving the appoiutment and congratulating both of them and also the State. No Judge on the bench stood higher than he. The newspapers all over the State say so. In my native county the Roanoke-Chow an Times said editorially a few days ago: "The next term of Northampton Superior Court begins at Jackson next Monday to be presided over by Judge Wins ton, one ?f the best Judges in the State. We may expect the ousi of the Court to be transacted with out undue delay, that the scales of justice will be held evenly and that justice will be tempered with mercy. This it the reputation Judge Winston made when on the bench 'before, and we have beard nothing to detract it." We know what kind of a Judge he makes. Ninth: ( He is * most agreeable and gen- i ial man. He loves his fellow men i and recognizes that they have < rights in the court, and goes about his work on the bench cheerfully and pleasantly. He recognizes that witnenses and jurors are hu man beings and he sees to it that their rights are not invaded. No man is stormed at in bis court, one hears no harsh judgements there, and tbe guiltiest defendant tried before him feels that the Judge is trying to do sight. He jfl<0. \ ' .

Tnrrn: Judge Winston has an honest nind and he is willing to hear be fore he decides. He is not onin lonated, but tins firm convictions >f what is right and lie is careful to see that the right prevails in bis court. He runs his own court, but with due regard for the lights >f all, litigants, iurors, witnesses, ipectators and attorneys, alike. Those in main are the reasons that decide me to support Judge Winston in the primary. It gives ne satisfaction to know that the ippointment of Judge Wioston by governor Craig has met with such inanimou* endorsement all over .he State. Under our system we n this district are selecting a Judge lor over half the State, and it is lome satifaction to have a worthy election appoved by the balance if the State and to find nearly ivery newspaper in the State ipeaking in the very highest terms if the appointment. I d<> not speak in disparagement if others, but we do know that fudge Winston in the past was an ixceilent ?udge and that he is now i most excellent officer. Why ibould we make a change without food cause shown? The selection of a Judge is a rery serious and important mat ter, and neither fear, favor, affec ,ion, reward or the hope of re ward should direct our vote. Hiese things may sometime enter nto the selection of purely admin strati ve officers, but they have no i>lace in selecting Judges. ? It would extend this article too much for me to discuss Judge Winston's public spirit. He is foremost in every good work and is known all bver the State for his deeo interest in schools, good roads, drainage and every public enterprise for tne betterment of oor citizenship. vor uie reasons given and Hav ing these views wuich I believe every fair minded man should con sider, and upon these facts which no one will question, I bave'dectd ed that the nomination of Judge Winston will promote the cause of justice in our District ana State, and 1 shall therefore take great pleasure in voting (of him in the primary, Meeting of Hertford County Commissioners The Board of County Comrnis sinner* of Hertford County met on the 7th, dav of August 1916, all member* of the Board being present; Proceedings of last meeting read and approved; Mr. E.
