Fendrr County G. .. lbutmry for tlio
EniToit Daily Rkvikw: As time
rolls on we occasionally hear the ut-
erance of some disgruntled aspi
rant for office wondering or surmis-
ns who will be the candidates to
111 the various offices of the count
and though we have no such charac-
ers in our county to remind us of
these facts, when we remember how
fast time Hi as, its reallv getting
time for those who havethe interest
of their county at heart to begin to
make these pertinent enquiries and
select, if possible, those men who
are most suitable and will best pro
mote the interesfs of the people. Of
course the political caldron of Pen
Ur is not much agitated yet, but
her people, who are ever awake and
on the alert on subjects of vital im
portance to her interest, are begin
ning to teel somewhat restless, And
we hear good men, who are ik aspi
rants for oftlce, making the same en
quiry. The Democrats of Pender
county are huckling'on their armor
and afe determined upon ictory in
the coming campaign, and in our
opinion, it is nhohitely necessary,
t conqMiss this end, that we put
able and aggressive men upon our
ticket to represent Pender county
in the next General Assembl". . A
great many Democrats whom I have
heard express themselves with
nie that II r. George A. Ramsey, of
jsurgaw, is tne man who can bear
our standard to victory. We all
know that Mr. Ramsey is the happy
possessor of personal magnetism in
a large degree; that he is level-headed
upon all of the political issues of
the day, and that any man who
meets him in debate will find 'a foe
man worthy of his steel." iN'ow, Mr.
Editor, with the peerless S ted man
for Governor and Ramsey for the
Legislature, vou can open the doors
to receiver Pender back into the
.Democratic fold.

Dear Sin The management of the National
Life and Maturity Association of this city Is,
to my personal knowledge, In the hands of as
good business men as there are in any city In
the country, men whose names, with those
who know them, are the synonym of integrity,
business capacity and Intelligence! and you
can rest assured that they are not men who
would allow their names to be thus used un
less they had personal knowledge and super
vision of the management ol the ibuslness. Anv
company with which they connect their names
is wortny or connaence - and- oatronaee. and
this fact alone would convince me of the sound
ness of the National Lire and Maturity even If
I had not other facts to Justify my confidence
In it. Veiy truly yours, t
