The Democratic primaries for Randolph will be held at the various precinct8on Saturday afternoon July 30th at 3 o'clock. At these prima ries delegates are to be selected to attend the County Convention to be held in Asheboro on Saturday Au gust Gth. At this convention there will be nominations for the various county officers and for the general assembly. It is to be hoped that there will be a full attendance at the primaries and that there will be an expression of opinion for the candidates to fill the various offices. Tbe strongest and best men should be selected to fill the various offices. There will be tickets at the various precincts for the various candidates and every Democrat will have the right to vote for any one he pleases as a candidate. There are naturally differences sfs to the best men for some of the posi tions. Let Democrats consult to gether to thia b3t interests' 'of 'the party, but after consulting go to the primaries, vote aa they please, wear, ing no man's color, taking ' orders from no one, always remembering to lay aside personal choice if necessary for the best interest of the party. The Democrats of Randolph should go to the primaries and ex press their choice and should not and will not be controlled by any false cry. In some counties there are those who it is claimed try to control nominations. The people should be on the lookout for this class. Some of them may be abroad in this goed county. Sometimes a ringster will try to control and then again a wide mouthed fellow who baa no other war cry than to trump up some imaginary idea that there is some clique opposing him or his candidate. Sometimes it is true that there are slates made and office holding rings exist. The way to break up slates and rings is for each voter to investigate as best he can and learn who is the best man for each position and go to the primary and vote for his choice and see to it that men who will stand true are sent as delegates to the County Con vention. It is true that there are some men in the Democratic party who are more active before the primaries than afterwards. This class of men sometimes become so active that they imagine vain things and do moie harm than good. Let all good Democrats study well the best interest of the party and the people and do not forget the date of the primary July 30th, and be certain to attend and vote for the best, wisest and strongest men for each and every office and all will be well. The tide is turning toward Democracy. Never have prospects been brighter and better than now. The people will make no mistake. Let them go to the primaries and register their choice from the lowest to the- highest office and all will be well in November. A short while before going to press, the news was that there was and had been a dead-lock for two days in the Congressional convention at Greensboro with Major Stedman in the lead and Judge Jones second. The cards of the candidates, except the new ones, are omitted this week owing to the pressure and crowded condition of our columns. ' They will appear again next week. Blew Ads- This Week. Mr. J, L.

Mr. Editor: Will you be so kind as to allow me a few lines space in your moi-t valuable paper to expiess just a few thought to the Democratic voters of tundolpn county; knowing tnat Mif principles of our party (toe Demo cratic party) tr the principles of Uoa una feeling that tie is on our side. It behooves us to be very care ful iu our choice of men to fill the various offices of our county govern ment next term, laonus Jefferson said that before a man presents him self as a candidate for any public office he should be able to fully answer four qufstions. First, he must know tnat he has got thj breast plate of righteousness upoii his breast, second the helmet of truth upon his head, third the shining sword of justice in his good right hand tipped with the aiamonu of ,mercy, and fourth the swte: grace of hospitality in his heart. ultn of this type are the Kind ot men whom we need to nominate and by the nomination of such men Kandolpn will pull up the greatest Democratic mnjority she has in the past decade. The Democratic party has the best chance, for a glorious victory this fall it has ever had. There are todiy hundreds of busi ness plants closed down and thou sands of men, women and children who are hardly making a living, all on account of hard times, yet just as long as tainted millions will buy votes just as long as the voters of our nation will turn dowa a Chris tian man and vote for one who even repudiates the name of Jesus Christ, a matt who .advocates high otariff to protect the rich manufacturer and make the laborers; a man who pro tects the trust monopolies to make the cost of living higher ; just as long as this goes on we cannot, we need r.ot, expect prosperity again. EnowiBtr that these are true facte. let us fight on bravely, faithfully, and loyallytill at last we know that the doctrine of equal rights snail reign throughout our whole repub lic. Very truly yours, Demockat Bill. For Capt. Burns. Mr. Editor: Will you please al low me space in your paper to say a few words in behalf of one of the candidates seeking the nomination for sheriff? The man to whom I re fer is a gentleman that I have known for several years, and I have had considerable dealings with him and have always found him to be per fectly honest in his dealings, and in the performance of his duties he is very courteous, and I have often known of him working a hardship on himse!f to accommodate either a friend or stranger. Now, I appeal to all good Democrats who want a sheriff who will please the people and is qualified in every way to per form the duties of the office in a satisfactory maBner, and a man that will receive tbe support of every Democrat in the count.y and a great manv Republicans will support him who have known him from childhood, and say that he will make a sheriff that the conntv will be proud of. Nominate A. E. Burns and Back Creek township will give him the largest vote any candidate has received in many years. N. P. Nelson. Spero, N. 0., July 5, 1910. Died.

"We the Democrat of the seventh congress ional district, in convention assem bled reaffirm our alliance to ihe time honored princpals of the Dem acr..tio paity a3 expressed in State and National platforms. We con demn the notion of the R publican paity in their betrayal of the people in the enactment of the Payne Tar iff law, violating their promise to the American people to reduce the bur den of taxation by a reduction of the tariff. In the face of their plat form declaration to revise the tariff, they placed upon the ttatute bcoks a law greatly increasing the burdens of the masses aud increasing the eains of the favored classes. For their contiuued extravagance in gov ernmental expenditures. We con demn the czarism made possible by the rules of the House of Represen tatives thetffect of which has teen to destroy in large degree popular representative government. We pledge ourselves to the Democratic doctrine of a tariff for revenue, with the lightest tax upon the necessities of life to economical business like methods in the expenditures of gov ernment funds, and to such re vis sion of the rules of the House of Representatives as will restore rep resentative government. We have watched with rnde the course of senators F. M. Simmons and Lee S. Overman in the United States Senate; their growing influence has reflected credit upon their state and hone v upon thir-prtyvW-heartily endorse the course of our capital represent Hive in congress, Kobt N.

ALL TEACHERS MUST ATTEND. Biennial session ol the County Institute. The biennial teachers institute for Randolph county will be held here, beginning Monday Aug. 1, and continuing for two weeks. The school law- is very strict regarding the attendence of the teachers and I am sending notices to every white teachers in tbe county, emphasining the importance of their attending the institute. I am also sending to every teach er i card from State Superintendent J. Y. Joyner which reads as follows: Section 42 67 of the school laws says: "All public school teachers of any county of which such insti tute and school is conducted are hereby required to attend the same continuously during its session, un less providentially hindered, and failure to attend the biennial insti tute and schoel shall debar any teacher so failing to attend cen. tinuousty from teaching in any of the public schools of the state for a period of one year, or until such teacher shall have attended accord ing to law Borne county institute and school as here in provided for in some other county." Teachers are required to bring all of tho text-books used in the pub lic schools through the primary and intermediate grades, as the in stitute will partake largely of the character of a . school, For the primary! work bring, in addition tbe readers, some taoiets ana a pair of scissors.

I Victory For The Railroads. The Interstate Commerce Corr mission on June 30th announced that it would suspend classification number J6, involving 6,000 items which was filed to become effective, July 1st. This declination to act, is regarded as a victo.y for the rail roads. . The railroads operating out of Buffalo, New York, were granted permission to advance their rates on flour and ether wheat product! cne cent a hundred pounds to eastern destinations. There are only 58 changes in the 6,000 items and the ratings involved. Of these, 28 are reductions and 30 increases including- 13 advances in car load weights. In an official statement issued June 30, the com mission savf: x ne principal increases . are the carload minimum of horse vehicles from 10,000 to 11,000 pounds and an advance in the classification of automobiles, from fiiat elassr, ,to , one hundred and ten per cent, of first class, and the commission is not sat isfied that these items should be sus pended.
