' M , » ' £_ OV B CAItniDATBRi In that particular column of otrr paper sometimes designated the mast-head wo place the names of the candidates (or ■whom we shall vote. Without detracts irig from any man or men in the Slate, we can say that io our opinion no better selections could haye beon made for the Supreme Bench. They individually aid oeHcctively posses, in an eminent do ■repfe—" of bp** l dias ;l t pOSlh on to At them for the exalted and responsible positions tor which they are Mo named. They are all in. tho vigor of ma -1 f inro manhood. Their learning in the law p|.; ! * Is extonsivtrnnd profound,ripened by long practice. No higher standard of human integrity is evor reached than may justly be claimed for eaeh one of theui. It will ik not require' the promptings o party * fidelity to load men to tliek support. All men who favor an honest and able judiciary, will in those men find the I f highest claims for tlio»r support. Aside j~ from all fftrlgr considerations, and iu the iotarest of our whole people wo eould wish that theso gentlemen might be elected by the unanimous vote of the I JUDGE MKRBIMOSS CABD.—OJI tho out l. aide ot this issuo wo print what Judge Herrimon has to say to the peoplo of the State, in vindication of himself against Imputations ami charges which have from . time to time and in various ways boen *' oast upon and made against him. This I card willdoublleßß be read with Jntcrest I by all. Judge Merrimon's position is I such as to give interest to anything com iiig from him- The assaults made upon ~ him havo iu some instances been very groggy ami hi his opinion called for this ; defbuso. The Domooiatic party cannot fallow two men, though one may be a I Governor and the other a Senator, to di. Kiride it into factions; and Ejias that tendency, by whomsoever inau gurated is to be deprecated aud condemii |sd. That Judge Merrimon wouli de- against attacks upon his in | tegrity was to be expected,and'if harm l"!eome to tho party because of these attacks defence made against them, the HBjgi £nd newspapers Wlk> first began tho can lay very high claims to the Kijiatinction of bringing strife into tho H|ty. Wears of those who do not bes that tho party belongs to any one ■lwomen, rtnd we very much incline that there are Mher men Bpjbe State, besides Vanco and Morri m>U, who would not disgrace the place t>> the Senate.

The convention of the fifth judicial district assembled at Durham on Tuesday the llth district is composed of the foitowing counties: Alamance, Caswell, Chatham. Franklin, Granville. Guilford, Orangey Person, Randolph ami Rockingham. Tl»e attendance was quite targe, and e/ery county was represented but Randolph. At about two o'clock tho delegates res paired to Matthews Ilall, ami the con vention was coifed to order by Cull' .J. A. Gilmer, Chairman of the executive com mitteo for the district. Capt. Jaines A. Graham of our county was elected per manent chairman, and tho Democratic editors present were elected Secretaries. After some little debate it was-determin ed that each county bo cmitlod to o:;e vole for every hundred voles, and fraction ot a hundred over ilfty it polled for Vance in 187 C, and that a majority ot voles nom inate. " These preliminary questions being set tied nomihations'tor Solicitor were in or der. F. N. StriKrok'k, tho present in. cumbent, and \V. Jl. Jenkins of Gran ville were placed in nomination. For Strudwick, Alamance 14, Ctswcll 15, Guilford 23, Orange 24, P»rsoil 6 and Rockingham 21 votes, making 103. For Jenkins, Cltntlmm 21, Franklin 19, Granville 24 and Person 6 votes, making 70. Before the vote was announced Granville changed her vote to. Stiud wiek, Fraukliu followed, then Chatham, and then Person, so tho vote as announc ed made Strudwicks nomination un*ui» mous. There was no interruption of har mony and good feeling throughout. Most ot the delegates went on to Raleigh and we will in another place vive our readers the result ot tho Stato convention. STATE Dlcnot'K.lTlt' COWEN. TI»N. The State Democratic convention as | sembled iu Raleigh on last Thursday, and was called,to order by S. A. Ashe, Chair* man of the Democratic Execntive Corns mittee. Hon. John Ma»nnig of Chats ham was chaseii temporary chairman, and Charles R. Jones, cf the Charlotte Observer, as Secretary. The committee on permanent organization reported as permanent olficTn-s ot the convention the following; H B Short of Columbus, per-* manent President. J D Cameron, ct Or ange, Secretary, and It M Fur man of Buncombe and Seth M Carpenter, of Craven, Asslstan Secretaries. Every county in the State was represented save Dare and Ashe. The uouaiuations lor Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, then being hi order W N H Smith was placed before the convention. Upon a cull of the counties St was found that he receiv ed every vote cast. His nomination was declared unanimous. Nominations lor two Associate Justices then being in or dor, the following gentlemen were plac ed befoie the con ven lion; lion M EM.HU-> ley of Craven, Col G N Folk of Caldwell, Hon David Scheuck of Liucolu, Judge A A McKoy of Sampson, Hon George Howard of Edgecombe, Hon Thomas S Ashe of Anson,. Col John II Dillard of Guilford, Hon Thomas Rufßn of Orange, Ho* T N Hill of Halifax, Hon P Ii Win ston of Bertie, and Maicullus Lanier Esq. of Granville. In the voting each county cast one vote for each hundred votes,and one lor oacli fraction ot a hundred over fifty votes, cast for Gov, Vance, iu the election of 1876. There were cast 121G votes: necessary to a choice 609. Upon the first ballot Hon. Thos S Ashe recelv-. Ed 756 votes and was declared nominated, On this ballot Alamance cast her vote for Dillard and Winston. The convention then took a recess to eight and a half o'clock, when it again assembled, and up on tho first bailot after assembling Col John II Dillard was nominated for the othsr position o?\ the Supreme Bench. The gentlemen nominated aW received a compKmoi.tary, and some of them a very flattering vote. Judge Schenck, whose caudicacy for nomination to a place on the Supreme Bench, had probably been more talked about than anj one elses,re ceived 113 votes. Tho convention then endorsed as candidates for Superior Court Judges of their respective disti inta the following named gentlemen, who had : theretofore been nominated by their dis trict conventions: J F Graves, of the 7th, A C Avery of the Bth, and J CL (Jud ; ger, of the 9th judieial districts. The following were selected as the Executive Consmitteeof our Congression al District: Goo H Gregory, of Guilford, Jap. W Reid, of Rockingham, Janies Hoi man, of Por9on, James A Graham,ol Alamance. ; Tht nominations created great enthu siasm among the delegates, and all agreed that the selections were admirable. An overwhelming victory awaits the ticket in August;, if indeed.it has any opposi tion. in the field*. We condense the above from the full report in the Raleigh N«w» t of the 14th..

I Advertisement;} The future do|>ends on the energy of tiis-jwtg men .. Our young men must be educated to wh*twer profession, trad* or business in which they may engage, if they may reasonably hope for success, Oue pro fession, one trade or oue business, irasier that and stick to it, ami success will be the result. The many failures in busi ness is largely the result of inattention to, and incapacity .to perform what is un dertaken. As an example profitable to tboeo who are embarking in bu«iticßH r nnd. illustrative of what may be accomplished l>v patient industry mid strict attention to the business in which one may engage wti present a brief sketch of the career ot the gentleman whose name heads this ar ticle. In July 1865, when he had worn or washed the mud and smoke ot the march and battles of Virginia from his person, ho sought and -obtained em ployment in this town as clerk for Mr. G. VV. I'attcrson—(ho first young man to get a situation in the phice—ut a small sahiry. 118 wa» taithfnl and attentive, and soon obtained remunerative wages, lie aric dressed himself to learning and masters ing the Uvoness .details pertaiuing to merchandising. lie remained in this situation until! October 1860 when he cast about him for a location in whjoh to engage in business for himself and was not long in sclocling Ore llill, Chatham county, where he opened a store on the 15lh of November of the eanje yea*. Ilis marked success from that time proves his good judgment in both the selection of a place and the condrsct of his business, lie now as a merchant, docs tlte largest business ot any general store in his vicinity. In addition be runs a cotton gin which controlled by the same good iudgment is a convenience to his neighborhood and a profit to himself. lie deals in general merchandise, ftnd keeps coustautly 011 hand a well selected .stock of Dry Goods. Notions,lints, Boots, aud Shoes, Hardware Crockery. ware, Paint?, Oils, Drugs r Dyestufls, . Books aud Stationery, Groceries, and : hundreds of articles sncb as his trade demands. Wo are iuformed tjat his tratfs if good and that his business is steadily increasing, notwithstanding the hard times,which in fact rather seems to ; increase than to diminish bis trado. The secret of hta marked success is to bo found in the feet that he is unstei of hi) trade and attends to his own biuiness. Those persons who aro within convex nient distance, and have produce to sell, or want to buy gooda, will consult their own interests by going to Ore llill, and giving Mr. Cheek a trM» An experience of thirteen years, coup led with close observation and sound sense gives him a valuable knowledge of the goods he sells; and buying as he does from Manufacturers and importers he ean always give you the best articles at prices as low 01* lowor tbap. they can be bought elsewhere..
