"Let the people decide" is the _ one strong principle of Democracy, itadwe feel that every one who attended the Convention in Louttbarg ^ on Monday went bone satisfied. Tim'ofaM meeting,held in Raleigh Satadjfay f^commended the names of ] some Vary prominent citizens as can- < didates to go before the regular , Democratic primary to be held in d Jane. ( ^7"~" w iiirk North Carolina site is the bead of the table. Norfolk Virginia- j Pilot says: "North Carolina last year built one hundred and ninety-one miles of macadam and two hundred and seventy-one miles of sandj clay and gravel roads. This is one respect in which the Old North Stat$. really i jp-7- . . leads her Southern staters, pointing _ the way which they all, including Virginia, would do wall and wiaely to follow." The primaries is over, (/on vention is over, and It only/ renins tbe duty of every De?o??t in Franklin countv to give bia /nil support to the ticket selected jMon- j day. In the words of Chairman ' "White lets not be satisfied with r Franklin comity giving the largest majority of sily county in th? State . bat "let beat the whole United J States.' This -toaads big, bnt if every democrat in Franklin ooanty will do his dutv to himself i-t ? ----- rrra party it wilt be a very evident truth. 1 * Speech or R. B. White With- 1 drawing the name of Sheriff H- C- Kearney.. Sixteen year* ego I came to jV .. Franklin., oonnty a great stranger and almost a boy. It was in the ' summer of 18M and we were jnrft entering into a bitter political atrngJii. ? gle that had m it the possibilities of \ f' 1 Mjf \ r ? contest. For twenty-two' years ha fought our hardest battles and was victor in all. And wa grew to put our faith in him and sleep wsseouudsr and property safer because wa knew that Kearney was Sheriff. But times have changed. The battle of todar is over before thr opening gun is tired. We no longer aee the wounds that were common in the old vesrs and it has become easy to jest over the scars that r?main to soius. The old order ehangeth and a new generation- eomes upon the scene. The arm that in days gone by was stronger to strike and surest to win is also old and must needs go and rest by the fireside and wait while new ones take up the burden that was onoe so heavy. And no one should wonder that some of us today mourn as wc stand helpless and see the passing. But Sherff Kearney, this moment is net altogether new. Onoe before be has known and witnessed the leaving of a broken field. As a soldier under Lee he fought with all of faithfulness and" Southern bravery. He followed the fortune of his flag and never wavered. But there same the day when the last word was spoke, the last command obeyed, and the- soldier came back home to rest from war. And there waa sorrow and grief and some of bitterness in all. But as we*stand here this day, we have come into the greater knowledge ihat appomattox has in it nothing of dishonor or of shame but is only an inoident in the ordred of the fidelity and irenuia of ?"JM i < - . ? I ,v c ' i , i feat dan gar tor our people. The i ght waa hard and long and oostly n that election waa eaat my first allot,? Out of all tha liat only two lemocrata were chosen but one of hera was Sheriff Henry C. KearIn there waa a bitter airug-i tie.?Then we had oeme to realize he greatness of the criaia that waa ipon us and the fight was ooslly ind long and hard. Again onty two Democratic officers were elected but >ne of them was Sheriff Henry C. iearDey. This waa my introdncipn to him as a fighting Democrat who accomplished things eTeh in he face of deapair. But liring in his home town, I same to know him as a man. Be was my friend. He has been my fiend in all the years that hare fob owed. You may nnderatand somethig of he deep regret and genuine grief hat is in me as it now falls to me o say that the name of Henry C. Cearney will not be presented to hia Conrentian. For thirty-two years?he has been hartff-ot Franklin county andna "Q" an be heard to say that he has ever ailed in the faithful discharge of the Iuties of that office. . No man can >e heard to say but that he rigidly icoounted for every dollar that cams oto his hands by virtne of his office. Sone cin aav but that he used the sowers of hia poeition with all >f thoughtful kindness and mach jf personal sacrifice. He could always hear the call of the weak and jive attention to the appeal of the poor, In this the hour of hia passing, [ know that all men will agree with me that the county is richer for his service and better by reason of hia manhood. . For thirty-two years be : has been your Sheriff and your servant. For twenty-two of those vears, from Lfiifi to 1900, Franklin County waa lebatable ground in every election. Mo accurate forecast of success for Democracy could be made in any rear. One and only one office was ilways filled by a democrat, and that was the. office of Sheriff and Uenrv C. Kearney was the man. Every election meant time, and work and money bat he gave cheerully and freely. In those days we sace to know and piize his strength ind The value of his name in every MAY \t I We wish to" inform our good friend Sorth where we have bought immense i late merchandise consisting of clothing, ne has been very successful.

Ami so totiav,. 1 can say with all 'd confidence that after thirtytwo years of an unsullied official carter, with honor unabated and honesty unquestioned, with nought to mar and much to commend, with the love of many and the respect of all, Sheriff Kearney may step down and out and leave to us and to his owiVe heritage of duty dor.e and of service rendered which shall be cherished long aftei the incidents of of this day are forgotten.
