Ives For Raster, To the Editor: Johnston County for the past quarter of a century has shown its ability to choose from her large population those men best suited to fill her public offices. Iler voters .will meet once again in a very short while and nomi nations will be in order for these respective offices. Though we have been choosing the most qual ified men for a number of years the supply of competent men has by no means exhausted. For Register of Deeds we have a man whom 1 know person ally and believe is as good a man for the place as old Johnston has ever honored with this parti cular office. The man whom I would place before the Demo cratic voters of Johnston County needs no introduction. He is known to be a man of excellent character. His ability to fill the position is unquestionable by those who know him. Mr. Walter M. Ives is known by almost every man in Johnston County. He has training that would especially fit him for the place, and we may rest assured lie would give it his best person al attention. Mr. Ives has for a Ion!: time been a persistent work er for the Democratic party. He has never before asked for an office, but has worked contented in the ranks and helped his party 011 t'i victory. Now the time has come when we can do 110 better than >0 honor our co-worker, and uphold the prestige of our Coun ty by nominating Walter M. Ives for Register of Deeds. * D. J. WELLOXS. Smithfield. N. C. July G, 1910. Senator Lodge announced Fri-j day night that Col. Roosevelt, would return to Massachusetts in| the fall and take part in the( Republican State campaign. Thej Senator said the Colonel was, interested in the success of him-j self and Gov. Draper. ! i Patten's Fortune. James A. Patten is reputed in j Chicago to have retired from bu-! sincss with between ten and fif-! teen million dollars. It is-true that he was successful in his wheat corner a year ago, and the first man to run a big corner in grain and come out with more than he took in. But gossip is very apt to exaggerate the pe- ' cuniary value of a success of ' this sort. A man has got to keep on buying even after the price is high in order to prevent slump, and it is almost impossible to turn the grain back into mon- , ey without breaking the market. ( Allowing that Patten was more i successful than any of his pre decessors. he may have made a few millions less than he seemed \ to. This year he did not suc ceed in cornering either wheat or cotton, and all the market gossip is to the effect that he drop ped considerable of his last year's profits in these two deals. It's possible that his fortune is less than ten millions.?Philadelphia i Record. Fifty-six per cent of the students at Dartmouth College wear glasses. Strike while the Iron is hot.? French Proverb.
