FOR COM. AGRICULTURE
The piimary is to be hold this
Saturday. There are a great
many candidates for the various
county and tate offices among
whom preference will be shown,
There are throe Democratic can',
didates for the nomination for
Commissioner of Agriculture.
They are nil good and competent
men. lint there is ono among
them who stands right next to
the folks win know him. He
stands next to them because they
do kuow him ami know of his
qualities and his qualifications.
He is strong. He is a splendid
physical figure. He ia strong in
intellect, lie. is strong in learn
ing. He is strong in moral stam
ina. He is strong in uctnat ex
perience. That's Mr. Sam H.
Hobbs of Clinton, N. C. We said
he was strong in experience. He
was raised on the farm. He has
aised a family on the farm.
Many the years ho his walked
in the fresh furrow watching the
fallow soil roll from the mold
boird, and as he wat'.hed he
studied. As the young Sam toil
ed in the heat of sun he studied
soil properties both from obse-
vation ant1 experimentation, be
sides ,uttirg iu extra moments
in the study of books and bulletin?.
As a reward Mr. Hobbs has
one of the best farms, onn of the
best families and probably thu
best practical ai'dcultur-aT edit
cation of any man i i his section.
Now, Mr. Hobbs aspires tothe
office of Commissioner of Agri
culture' He is well fitted for it
and we ho e to see him vet it.
He would adorn the office as well
as administer its affiirs. He ha:
a splendid mastery of the Eug
list) language and speaks like a
statesman. His gentle, gentle
manly manner is magnetic.
If the farmers want a brother
farmer with a head chuck full ol
common sense and . heart chuck
lull of iuterest they can t go
wrong in the selection of Mr.
Sain H. Hobbs. Remember that
Saturday is primary wheu the
choice l to be made. , adv

Part HI I
Tbe Tbysician and His Family
I will now attempt to mention
few things concerning a fami
ly who hud uiovod itito this sec
tion. The family consisted of the
father and mother and twj child-,
ren, a boy who died in young
manhood and a girl who will ap
pear i i this .story later. We are
not to suppose that this family
made a very pretentious begin
nig, because the father belonged
to a pioffession which we are
wont to neglect when health and
prosperity siinU; upon us. How
ever this i),iy have been, we
know that in this after lif'J this
family i-hiyed an iinpoiUnt part
n this community. The mother
was a woman of a very kin1' and
laritab'e disposition; and the
father's ability as a physican wa
recogniiod more and more as the
days went by-. Epidemics of ty
icid ever weie common in
those days, and this man went
day or night, -.am ot slime, trav
elling on horse back, carrying
his medicine with hun. Although
Iv: became a -very busy man this
did .lot keep him from baing a
zealous church worker.
In the mean time hi daughter
had grown to woman hood and
married a man of splendid quali
ties. In a few yens tho-igh sor
row entered this happy home for
the death angel claimed the hus
band. The young wife then look
her twolittb sons and went back
to live with her parents.
The Civil War
Wheu the war broke out be
tween the States, the people of
this section responded nobly to
.lybtfor what they thought was
right. Mauy brave soldiers left
their loved ones never to see
tbem again. One of these heroes
was killed at the battle of Malv
ern Hill. His son is now i man of
ialluenca in this communit.i . An
other man who died fo,- the South
was killed at Petersburg. His
son is living in another part of
the country now, but he is noted
tor those traits of industry and
hospitality which charac'er'ze
the people of this section,
If wu were to tell the lift his
tory ot all the brave men who to
turned to this section aftei the
war it would make this story
too long, so we will attempt to
mention one.
The Captain
Ho was a happy go luckv ycMi I
who was a great fivorite withi
r.is companions, He was promot-,
ed several times and while he
was captin of his company he
was very kind to his men. One
soldier remembers yet how on
a certain march when he was
sick and tird that the caplai'i
carried his gun for him.
This young captain seems to
have had alstrong desire to serve
bis fellovvmen, and 'iis great
versitility gave him splendid op
portunities for doing so. Soonaf
ter the war closed he became i.
minister of the gospel. His mes
sage was so impressive that poo
pie would go several miles to
hear him preach.
Like most men who achieve
success in life, he was aAected
by cupids'darts. He full in love
with a pretty young widow, who
has already been mentioned in
this story. After a short court
ship i-he became his wife. After
their marriage they continued to
live with her parents, who have
also been mentioned before in
this story.
About this time thncaplain took
up the study of medicine. He
was ably assisted by his father-in-law
whonu practio had grown
to soch dimensions tliet he need
ed he'p. When the young captain
and preacher hud finished his
medical studies, he practiced
medicine also in connection with
his lather-in-law. He continued
to ractice medicine, and to
prcuch occasionally urtil the
death ot his wife's parents, with
the exception of a few years
which he suent in educational
work in other localities.
A few years later the captain
was elected State Auditor of
North Carolina, which office he
held until his death. When he
war, elocteu totnis omce ne moveo
his family to Raleigh, but he
did not forget his old friends and
community. He would often
come back to attend the soldiers
reunions and be with the boys, as
lie called his comrades of the
Civil War, The news of his death
a few years ago brought sorrow
to tnn.y hearts.

KOIi THE HOUSE
Having been solicited by many
friends throughout the County, 1
have decided to become a candi
date for the House of Represen
tatives from Cleveland County,
subject to the action ol the Dem
ocratic Primary. If nominated
it shall be my purpose to repre
sent all the people of the county
and to advance their every inter
est, W, A. MAUNEY.
Sumpio Daincroa, an aged and
well known colon d man of Kings
Mountain died Thursday night
and was buriel Friday. Sutnpi
was one of the old ante-bellum
darkies who never forgot how to interests of my party, county and State
make his bow and scrape his I would appreciate your support.
FOR THE HOUSE
To (he Democratic Vot-rof Cleveland
County:
As your representative in the Legis
lature of ll13, 1 secured the psRe o
two bills in the Ho'.se, one requiring
State Treasurer and the other requiring
all Cleveland county oflk-isls having cus
tody of public funds to secure interest
on deposits in banks. The State ;id
County treasurers are now obtaining
interests on deposits in banks. The ofli
ce of Cleveland County Treasurer hav -ing
been abolished, against public sen
timent, I stand for it being restored by
the next Legislature. 1 now haveunmis
takable and convincing evidence that a
few stand-patters who favored the law
abolishing the office are planning and
striving for the law to remain in force.
I am convincod if the office is restored
by the next Legislature, a strong and
vigorous fight must be mads before pri
mary. I stand not only for restoration
of the office of county treasurer, but
for Legislative authority to obtain much
greater interests on all various public
funds and at the least equitable expen
se to th county for efficient service. In
obedience to the voice of a large elect
orate of my party, I offer myself a
candidate for the democratic nominat
ion before the primary, June 3rd for
membership of the next General Assem bly.
' I am too busv with mv farm to see
you all. My pastrecojis before you. If
you believe 1 will represent the best
foot.
