The senior editor of this de partment was with Bardensville Local Union Saturday afternoon at its meeting place in Britt's township. It was a most delight ful occasion, and we believe the members were very much en couraged and much enthusiasm was manifest. We were a little late arriving on the grounds and Mr. H. H. Bizzell, of Mt.

Af ter his address this writer was called on and responded in a and responded in a very appro priate talk, after which refresh ments were served and the entire audience engaged in social con verse and swapped jokes.

The Democrats of the sixth congressional district were wise in the selection of Mr. Oscar L. Clark, of Bladen county, as their candidate. He is not widely known in the State at large be cause his life has been devoted to farming and business, but he is well known in his district as a man of character, sound sense, and a leader in agricultural and industrial matters. He will make a useful Congressman and meas ure up to the high office. The truth is there is not a better man in North Carolina than Oscar Clark. He speaks well and clear ly, he has been a marked success m everything he has undertaken, Has Done Things Distinctly Worthy. Charlotte Observer. The anti-Godwin Democrats of the sixth district certainly did not hurt their cause when they chose their nominee. Born 45 years ago, State Senator 0. L. Clark has done things distinctly worth while since he graduated from Davidson College m 1886. He is a successful merchant, farmer and lumberman, charac terized also by knowledge and public spirit. The drainage bill of the last Legislature, a meas ure of demonstrated value to the State, and especially to the east ern counties, was put through by him. In Congress he would serve his constituents well. and is the best type of the patri- tistry, has located in Darlington, otic captains of industry whose success means the opening of new doors of opportunity to those ixbout them. Oscar L. Clark was born in Bladen county July 16th, 1865, and after preparation in the pub lic schools entered Davidson Col lege, from which institution he graduated in the class of 1886. In June of the same year he was married to Miss Cora Withers, of Davidson. He is a leader in the Presbyterian church. All his life Mr. Clark has devoted his energies to mercantile and farming interests and the lum ber business and has won the largest measure of success. He is a man of wide information, good scholarship, practical judg ment, common sense and has been the leader of his sectioD in the agricultural, commercial and lumber interests that have taken such rapid strides in his section in recent years. He has made money and has made it honestly and in a way that has helped in the development of his district Though he has always taken deep interest in politics and been a Democratic leader, Mr. Clark had never been a candidate for office until he was nominated for the State Senate two years ago, and the chief incentive then to a j. v t . . i accepx me nonor was to nave a hand in shaping a good drainage Jaw. His interest in that most important work for Eastern North Carolina was evidenced in the State Senate, for he had Built on Honor Sold on Merit There are no if s and and about our guarantee, and no rebate schemes about our sales. We prefer to believe that our cus tomers are sensible people in search of a square deal, and we make it our business to treat them as such. When you buy a Stief f Piano you get what you pay for, and pay for what you get. Ex perienced buyers know that this constitutes the only bar gain you can count on all oth er bargain forms are gambles, and the purchaser is usually the loser. Honesty may not be the best policy but years of practice convince us that It Is good enough. If you contemplate the purchase of a piano, don't fail to examine the Stieff. A showdown is our delight.
