The County Convention has been called to meet in Asheboro on Au gust 18, at 11 o'clock. The primar ies are to meet at the respective vot ing precincts on August 11 at 3 o'clock. The purpose of the conven tion is to nominate .candidates for the general assembly and county offices. The formal call is handed us as we go to press, and will appear next week. Building and Loan Associations have gro vn so popular that laws are made especially to favor them. Let democrats everywhere trust the masses. Let there be an honest right for the supremacy of the people in the selection of candidates. Building and Loan AtSJciation have grown eo in the United States that these institutions are second only in paid in capital of all the national banks of the United States. The success of the Democratic party does not depend on any one man or set of men, nor does" its suc cess depend upon any particular candidate or set of candidates. The fighting force is not made up of leaders but of the rank and file. Many people are living in com fortable homes in Asheboro, owing to the fact that they have taken ad vantage of opportunities offered by the Building and Loan Association. They are paying for these homes with what was formerly used as rent money. While many have been enabled to build homes by joiniug the local building and loan association, there are others who are regularly sav ing their weekly aud monthly sur plus funds at a good rate of inter est. Andrew Jackson said to Nicholas Biddle. the President of the United States Bank, when Biddle threatened him saying he had the power to re elect or defeat, 'Then you have a damn sight more power than any man ought to have in this country," and he proceeded to stiip the head of the bank of that power. "The contest for county offices in 'Guilford is waxing warmer as the county convention approaches, but the chief interest centers around the 'Commissioners' chairs. There are already twelve candidates for posi tions on the board composed of five citizens. This is an evidence of progress ivneess. All matters pertaining to the progress of the county, commer cially and in education, are first aid ed or discouraged by this body. It would te well for Randolph to wake up to the importance of its work. Those who believe that the party, Democratic party, should be 'a paity of the people, for the people, and by the people,' should organize to carry their ideas into effect and oppose by every means possible, boss rule and ea? rule.aid should, by every means within their power, oppose all efforts to corrupt the party in its meetings or at elections. Democratic voters in every precinct should attend the primaries ajid take charge of the party organization, think for themselves, vote for their choice, and Bee that a ballot is taken and certi fied to the county convention. County treasurer one of the most capable, efficient and popular county officials this or any other couty has had in a gener ation, has written a card declining to 6tand for renomiuatioa and gives his reasons therefor in a plain, di rect, and straight forward manner, like the man that he is. It is pretty generally conceded that Mr. Miller could be renoniinat ed if he were a ca&didate because of his great personal popularity, his mrpfnl attention to the duties of the office and his devotion and loy alty to party interests.
