LotIII for the Lffislttare, Mr. Editob: As the time approaches rapidly when a democratic ticket, Legisla five and county, are to be named In Watauga, is it not high time that we were cast ing about and trying to se lect from our large stock of good material the men who can lead the party to victory this fall? ' We have a number of men, .good men, too, who would makes valiantcampaign for the Legislature, but it is up to UH.asa party.to name the one of that number who can carry the most votes, for, while we arealmost confident that Dr. Pbipps will be elect ed to stay at home this fall, yet we are conscious of-the . flint ihnt it will nnt mo an on. f .. 1 V - I ' . W V v MM sy walk over by any means We have among us a young iman of which nny county in North Carolina might well be proud; one who has the abil ty to meet on the hustings of tb county any republican in the district and easily carry off the laurels in joint debate; one who ib known and respec ted by all parties for his many sterling traits of char acter and kindness of heart; one who has mixed and roin . gled with our people from his boyhood up: one who, when elected, will have thecourage of his convictions to stand by what he thinks is right, and one who can in our opin ion, carry more votes than nny man wecouldput injiom ination. Such a man is W.R, T Ml a - . lioym, 01 your town. He is young, full of energy, always successful in his undertakings and before he would suffer de feat, if nominated, he would almost make a house-to bouse canvass of the county. He is a Democrat pure and simple, and will always b; , found in the thickest of t ie fight to protect the party when her principles are being assailed by unscrupulous Re publicane who dare to cast a slur on her pure State admin iteration. Yes, give us Will Lovill for tb Legislature and then fill up the ticket for the various county offices with good men and if we don't land the whole push in November, we will have the pleasure of eeo- : i i . . itiK iuu wursiBrarea sec or re publicans that woe ever put in n ticket in Watauga coun ty. ' ( Voter, I , r Banner ikJLelter. Mr, Editoh: The national Democratic campaign seems to be opening most auspici ously, il one may judge by eignsand tokens. Tbe -fact that the almost entire inde pendent press of the country headed by the N. Y. Jiernld wiU Hupport Parker, means more than any one thing in thegeneralmixup. That class of newspapers have always in the past supported the sue cessfnl cadidate. iThen there is another thing going to be done by the National Com mitteennd that is todo their heavy work in the East and from one headquarter. The East is what the democracy must look to, anl let the re publican Wpst alone, It is almost solidly joined to the i lea of Rougliriderism and imperialism. The independ ent press is a unit againBt both. - leading republicans in the E a s t are deserting Teddy by the score and 37 leading republican lawyers of N Y. City formed a 4?Park er Constitutional ClnV the other day. Parker will evi dently have the lawyers, on his side, the whole country oyer. Roosevelt said of Dry an in 1900,.that "he appeal ed to the farmers, the basest set in the land." Will any far mer wbo has an ioto of self- respect for himself vote for him after that? Roosevelt has brought the country aown - trom miserable pros perity under McKinley to an awful state o f uneasiness coupled with labor strikes of the very worst kind, in which there is almost uncontroll able rioting and bloodshed in Chicago and other places. He is upholding the trusts re gardlesg of law, and trusts are doing the rest. But Ted dy is as dumb as an oyster, even when appealed to by delegations of these laboi a leaders. He wanted to fix up large sized busines fame to shove off on Mr. Parker, but the whole thing exploded prematurely hence the large Bized republican tears. That fellow Cortelyou endeavoring to fill the vacuum left by Mark Hanna is the most hid eonsand violent presumption that has ever presented it self in polities Jo my recollec tion, If you are a proud A raerican i-itiztai you will read ily see that this great cam' paign is narrowed down to constitutionalism on one side and imperialism on theother Parker stands for the form er, Roosevelt for the latter, The question is, are you an American; u- ho, you ure compelled in your own de fense to vo te for the man who will sustain the consti tution and existing laws at every banrd instead of the law-breaking, trust and nig ger loving, constitution-hat ing present incumbent at the White nouse.

"I am much impressed with the sobriety, morality and general trend of your .mountain people to abide by the laws of the State.". ."Nice compliment is this and is quite diff rent from the effusion: turned loose by the noted Miss Ab-. bott upon the people of the western part of the State. Two , negroes, Cuto and Reid, were. burned at the stake near. Statesboro (la., on the 16 for the murder of the Hodgos fomjly The ne groes were tried convicted and sentenced to hang, but despite this fact, .the infurN ated mob took them from the State Militia, dragged to the place of execution; the match was applied and in a short time nothing hut the charred forms of the murder ers remained-. Ofcouise the negtoes deserved death but after eentencebad been pass ed on them the taking of their lives by an infuriated mob was an outrage and a shame. r Sarirer In Orer.Confldtice. Democrats should not think that because we: have bad big majorities in our State in the past they will continue so without work on our part' Wilmington Mes senger. -Eternal vigilance is the price of political victories as well as of Liberty. With the possible exception of indiffer ence over-confidence is the worst evil that can befall a party, and therein lies the possible danger to the Dem ocratic party in N..C, The negro is out of politics, but the Democrats are to main tain the advantage thisgives them they must keep alive to the situation and at work even after victory is assured, To bewntehful is not easy; to spend one's time and de fense of principle is a burden. But somebody most attend to the public affairs of the community or nation, and if good men do not, bad men will. Tne party that sits down in indifference may not be defeated in the immediate future but the time will come when it will regret having permitted to slip from its grasp the majority it once enjoyed.

Democratic State Chairman Simmons recently wiote Re publican StateCbairman Rol lins proposing a joint can vass for the candidates on the Stote ticket. Mr. Rollins replied, proposing to leave it to the candidate to arrange such joint canvass or to leave alone as it seemed to Ihem best. Mr. Simmons tieats Mr. Rollins' letter as a declina tion of a joiot canvass. He points out; however, that the State committee has no con trol over Congr ssional can vasses that being in the hands of district committee, Mr, Glenn, Democratic can. didate for Governor had al ready challenged Mr. Harris the Republican candidate, for a joint canvass, and Mr. Harris declined. Mr. Meek ius the Republican candidate had challenged lodge H'ins tqn, the Democratic candi date for a joint canvass, and Winston referred the matter to the State committee. Now that Rollins has declined to agree to a joint canvass be tween all the candidates. Winston and Meekins will not discuss jointly and the only joint campaigns .prom ised this yeur will be between candidates for Congress and elector. Statesyille Landmark THE DEATH PENALTY, A little' thing sometimes results in death. Thus a mere sceatch, insig nificant cuts or puny boils have paid the death penalty. It is wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve over hanay. It's the best salve on earth and will prevent fatality, when burns, soi ts, ulcers and piles threaten. Only 25c. it M. B. Blackburn's.
