Whittemore, Phone 203-M Graham, N. C. PETERSON FOR COMMISSIONER • OP LABOR AND PRINTING. O. J. Peterson, the old editor of the Sampson Democrat, who is responsible for the revelation of the pension graft* which, accord ing to the claims of State Auditor Durham, has resulted in a purg ing of the pension lists of the whole State which increases the individual pension of Confederate soldiers about 20 per cent, was in Graham Tuesday and expressed great gratification at the sweep his candidacy has made in the eastern counties, as far up as Chatham. x , The East Alfao»t Solid. In fact, the representative men of a score of eastern counties are, almost to a man, for Peterson, while only three men in the same 20 counties were found by him favoring the veteran office-holder Shipman. Of course, there may be others for him, but, emphati cally, the representauts of the east is overwhelmingly for Peter son. ' i An Impressive Llat. The list of Peterson's vouchers in the east not only attests the progress of his campaign and the worthiness of the candidate, bat would be a most impressive one, including, as it does, such men as Dr. Vance McGougan, John A. Oates, and Cape. Jas. S. McNeill of Fayetteville; J. 0. Carr. Judge Roundtree, Wilmington; > A. D. Ward, Judge Guion, ex-Congress man Thomas, and Editor Dawson of New Bern; Harding and Hoiton of Pitt; Howard and Allabrook, Tarboro; Battle, .Thorne, Gran tham, Rocky Mount; the Connors, Finch, and Lucas of Wilson—but to continue would be to call the roll, largely, of the more promi- I nent men of tbe tide-water belt. These people know Peterson— his ability and his services—and their hearty support gives every assurance to the people of Ala mance that they will make no mistake io voting for the veteran teachfer and editor of Clinton. Newspaper* For Peterson, In addition, quite a number of the central county paperq have come out editorially for him, among the latest tbe old Greens boro Patriot, whose editor, ex- Mayor Murphy of Greensboro, heartily endorses the Sampson mau. Also, Editor R. F. Beasley, in the Monroe Journal, says he "must vote for Peterson for the simple reason there is in tbe State no man better fitted for tbe office." This is enough, surely, to con vince the readers of The Gleaner that Peterson is the man. Vote for him and be assured he will, as always, give his very best to the office if elected, as he expeots to be. (Political Advertising.) Because of rain on die first sales day of the Sanford curb market, only eleven producers came. They sold 140.60 worth of produce. On the second sales day 22 came and sold 1122.80 worth of produce.
