MINER, OWNER AND MANAGEB Tlf" A HOME PAFER FOR HOME PEOPLE-ALL HOME PRINT V lUME^XV BREVARD, NORTI CAROLINA, JUNE 24.1910. i NUMBER*26 r at the Primaries Tomorrow Wm. J- Cocke of Buncombe Is a Candidate for Congress He is an Able and Convincing Public Speaker and Debater His Campaign Has Been Clee^n and Honorajble , He is Ambitious, and a Tireless Work- er for Party Success HE IS THE MAN TO BEAT GRANT, and He Asks Yo«p Votes in the Primaries To morrow Within a few days now the pemocrats of the Tenth Congres sional district will, in primary elfiction ancL- precinct meetings, select delegates to the county conventions which in turn will select delegates to the Congres sional convention to nominate a candidate for Congress to defeet John G. Grant, the Republican nominee* This selection of a candidate by the Democrats to . represent this district in con sress is a most important mat- ter. The party must select the best man; the strongest man; a man v^ho can and will defeat the E,epublican nominee, it is evi dent that Hon. William J. Cocke ofBuncombe is that man.. Dem ocrats in every county in the dis trict realize that he is fired with enthusiasm and ambition; that it will be his first race and that the “first race’’ man is always strongest. His friends are con fident that he will be nominated and, when nominated, elected. In referring to the candidacy of Mr. Cocke the Marion Progress of McDowell county last week in an editorial expression with the caption “A Causeworthy Candi date,” has this to say: “The Marion Progress after careful consideration and inves tigation early espoused the cause of Hon Wm. J. Cocke for Con gress. “We are mindful of the fact that no longer do people turn out in vast numbers and concourses to attend political speakings— there is a two fold reason for their not doing so. First, the political speakings and gather ings are not so frequent as they once were, and the people are much busier than of yore be cause of increased business de mands and agricultural pursuits. It would, therefore, not be amiss to state that people look to their local papers for enlightenment in regard to both politics and candidates. Appreciating these conditions, with their consequent devolutions of highest duty to a democratic people, the Marion ^J'ogress selected William J. ^ocke as the most logical con- gi*essional candidate. He is a ^^mocrat tried and true and has battled nobly for democracy; he possessed of marked mental Q-bility; an excellent speaker and conceded to be a most excellent ^ganizer, having in the race for ayor redeemed the city of sheville, the same is true as re gards his successful Senatorial race of which Haywood and Mad ison were a part. With these things before us we think we haVe made no mistake and stiall go on reminding that Cocke is the man for the place—therein lies a highest award for democ racy. “We don’t care a continental for trapped political achievement and legislation biou^iht out by concession or uudu« subeniihsr; neither can a man in a race for an office make a cleaner cam paign than that of outspokenness, letting the entire people know where he stands. That has been, and will ever be, we think, the procedure of Mr. Cocke. Such conduct of a political campaign will avail good results, furnish ing a true index to the future career of the man who would represent them in the halls of Congress and people are not slow to see and appreciate the fact. “Here we are reminded of a lo cal contribution to the Progress June 2nd: ‘Cocke will defeat John Grant,’ the writer giving this reason for so raying, ‘Be cause the press of the district, both democratic and independ ent, with the exception of the An drews Sun, Cherokee county, which parenthetically we state, is for Mr. Gudger, is clamorous for Mr. Cocke.’ The writer of that article was a bit too enthusi astic for indeed two papers have seen fit to object to the ‘clamor ous proposition.’ The truth is however, that neither Mr. Gudg er nor his friends can take ex ceptions to that slight deviation for the spirit of the article is there withal, and if there is an other paper in the district other than the Andrews Sun that has commended Mr. Gudger we have failed to see it and should much praise be forthcoming gladly will this paper publish same. “Generally speaking we ap preciate that it is a mistake to send a new man to congress ev ery two years, however we opine that the people would forever re turn a satisfactory representa tive to Congress, for the people are generally connect in their views in that regard. We think that we are right in observing that the new man proposition will end, and suddenly, when the people recognize m their repre sentative capability—then, and not before then. Recognizing these prerequisite qualifications as inost conducive to wholesome political welfare and with an earnest hope for democratic supremacy at the coming election we endorse the cause of William* J. Qocke, and a winner we think he is.” GENERAL Ho^li Blandford Sim- NEW8 mons,_^reminent member NOTES of tlje^ Americiis bar and widely known thnJughout southwest ern Georgia, died of fever at his resi dence in Amerlcus. Mr> Simmons was in the prime of young manhood and universally esteemed. He was eldest son of Edgar G.

In recognition of his services to the Italian government as attorney for the general southern consulate at New Orleans and many deeds of char ity to needy Italian subjects, Ulysses Mariononi, Jr., of New Orleans, has received the decoration of the Order of the Crorwn of Italy, conferring the rank of knighthood.

Advices received by the German Cablegram ccrmpany from Rio de Ja neiro state that insurgents in the pr^ fecture of Jurua, in the Acre district of western Brazil, have <3xWen out the governor and declared their independ ence.

The wholesale price of beef has been advanced at Boston from 11 1-2 to 12 1-2 cents a pound. The propor tionate increase in the price of cut? is a cent or two more. Three cases of plague have been dis covered among the Russian immi grants who arrived at Honolulu on the Japanese liner Nippon Maru. The Russians were brought here from Siberia to work on the sugar planta tions. The discovery cf the plague cases, probably, will result in all the Russians who came on the Nippon Maru being quarantined. The Barkentine Good News, of Phil adelphia, has been lost at sea. Cap tain Eriksson and her crew of 12 men have been rescued and are now safe cm board the British steamer Metis, bound to Norfo’lk, which signaled this information to the Diamond Shoals light ship off Cape Hatteras.

Mars climbed out of the week unhurt. Mars attributed his fall to an air current cause'^ by a railroad train. — EUROPE IS SWEPT BY FEM FLOOD Towns inmdatiid, Proper^ Is Destriqieil, lives tost Stories of death and the sufferings of survivors are brought by refugee* from the flood valley of the Ahr. The waters are rapidly subsiding, but while at their height they wrought frightful damage. Several villages on the banks of the River Ahr were literally v/ashed away. Houses, collapsing, buried their occu pants beneath the flood. So strong was’ the current that ^ it swept away locomotives and steam road rollers as a child hiight scatter its toys. In some instances where the vil lagers, driven from their home by the waters, lacked time to reach the hill tops, they climbed into the branches of trees, cmly to be drowned as the rising waters tore the trees up by their roots and bore them away. Near the mouth of the Ahr river a rescuing party recovered the bodies of a woman and an infant. ’ The little one was tightly clasped in the moth er’s arms. ^ Buried Beneath Wst/ers.
