""The date for the Democratic County Convention is getting very near at hand and we wish to ? fcrge upon Democrats the great I Importance of attending the pri maries. It is going to takeahard fight indeed'artd a solid front in : the party ranks to achieve a vie fcory in Watauga' in the Novem ber election, if such a thing is at- . all possible, and it is the duty, yes, the imperative duty, ol ev- pry man who claims to be a Pern .pcrat to attend the primaries and consult together thorough ly as to tho best men for the va- rious offices, and by all means pend delegates to the county con- -f ention who are ready to acqui esce to the action of a majority pf the. townships. This is not the year for party discords, ae victo- ? jy may ue uure u we wm umj agree, all together, what to do ' and work as we should until the election. We have had kickers in the past, and they invariably do pi harm. . Harmony and concert . pf action 1 the policy and with- nt It we will again be defeated. Again let us urge that the pri : xnaries be well attended, for ev ''ery Democrat in the county has ft right to a voice in this matter , and In the township primary is . $he place to be heard.

Uiat Cult Show? ; - .'Mr. Enrron: Just a word a bout thatcoltshowheld in Boone on the seventeenth of August'. It is a step in the right direction to eucourage us to raise more and hotter horses. ' There were fifteen colts enter ed in the contest; there were three men chosen -as judges, to whom all contestants submitted their claims. Upon close exami nation five of the best were selec ed by the judges." After closely examining the five, two, Mr. Charley Mast's and ray colt were selected by the. judgos, then we were asked by them to move our colts around .that they might judge of ttieir movement before rendering a decision. But just at this juncture a a fourth judge (?) in the person of Mr. John F. Har din, put in his appearance, and informed the judges that one of the colts that had been rejected by them should be re-entered and upon his 'suggestion the colt of Mr. Ben Eller was re entered, and from that time my colt was not considered, for the contest seemed to be between Charley Mast's and Ben Ellers colts. My judgment, from all the facts, is that Charley Mast should have been awarded the prize. J. II.

Judge Pritchard, whoie name has been mentioned In connf e ticn with the Republican .guber natorial nomination, announces thathe is not to be considered in that connection. He says that from a financial standpoint he is unable to make the "sacrifice which such candidacy would in volve; that his ambition is to ad minister the law faithfully, im partially and fearlessly; that he believes he can better serve the people in the position he now oc cupies than by again entering the arena of polities and that he is entirely content with the place he now occupies. - In other wods, Judge Pritch ard has a good job for life.
