old-fashioned "horse laugh". The
management was under Harry M.

the interlocution of Harry Biggs,
bad a freshness and the local hits
made fun tor the appreciative audi

that ever went "down the pike".

occasjonly. Called upon to recite

s[.oo a Year in Advance
Robinson for Sheriff
The time is now at band when
the Democrats of Martin County
will meet in Williamston and in
convention assemble to name a man -
that will be our next sheriff. Allow
me space in your paper, Mr. Editor,
to ask the Democrats of Martin
County to support Mr. Harmon T.
Robinson, for our next sheriff of
Martin County. Why I ask the
people to support him is he is thor
oughly competent in every respect
to make Martin County a sheriff
she will be proud ot.
To nominate Mr. Robinson for
sheriff will place the morals of our
Politics on a higher level. We
have learned bv experience the
last few years that the long term of
office ba« brought the mora's in
Politics very low. In
pkisk under date of July 19th, I
see these words: "It is said that at
each man's birth there is a fairy
god who stands sponsor at his
christening and if this bo so the
god of Detectives stood spono-r at
Sheriff Crawford's birih."
I want to tell the people of Mar
tin County that Mr. Robinson is a
young man l orn tinker the new
covenant, believes not in fairy gods
but belitves in the one God the
true and living God of all the uni
verse and that all men are boru
equal before him. The same writer
said "that every mat) in America
could not be pies.dent" but he fail
ed to siy our platform as drafted in
Baltimore that no man should be
eligible 'o a secouu term and also
say? that every mun in North Caro
lina canoot be governor. He will
plca;e remember that the Statute
Law of North Carolina forbids a
man succeeding himself as Gover
nor. Our tadieis waen they wrote
the Constitution of this State for*
bade over one tetm for the Cbiel
Magistrate Now let us get back
borne in Martin C.unty and con
si ier tbe many inhabitants of our
old County. Are we going to give
one nfan a fat j>b al! lis life and
then to hi? sons. If tuch be the
cate there is 110 u>e in having a
convention and elections. I say no
we people of Martin County are
prog:e;sive people we do not put
ourselves below the representative
Democrats or the nation who have
declared against -long terms of
{office. We believe in a represent
ative government and that all men
should have an equal chance. We
don't believe that ooe man is horn
ed of Go;l to be a farmer and
another a merchant and another a
criminal Such an argument is a
travesty against gooJ government.
Let us awake and ame to progres
sive sentiments and nominate Mr.
Robinson for she: iff and at our
next county convention pass .1 re
solution that no man shall serve
more thau two terms in succession
for any office in ftiv ifouutj-. — 4 ~
Yours truly-
