l'roiu the call elsewhere published it
will be seen that the several Democratic
township committees will meet at Halifax
on the 13th day of August for the pur
pose of electing a county Executive Com
mittee. Usually no thought is given to
this very important work. When it is
remembered that the whole campaign
and con erpiently the success of the party
rests largely upon the county committre
it will be at once seen that the utmost
care should he taken to select men as

doubly true now, when the party is as

Wesineerely hope that the members
of the several township committees will

The Democratic convention at Scotland
Neck last week selected as its standard
bearer in the Second Congressional dis
trict Mr. F. A. Woodard. of Wilson. Mr.
Woodard is not unknown to the people of
the district. He was the nominee of the
Democracy for Congress in 1SS4, and
became thoroughly and well known to
the people. Mr. Woodard is a native of
Wilson county and has there growu up
to successful manhood. lie is a lawyer
by profession, rauking among the best,
and he is a strong debater, a good speaker
and fearless in upholding the principles
which he advocates the principles of
true Democracy, Reared up ou a farm
he retains his love of the country and is
thoroughly in sympathy with the tillers
of the soil. Being himself a large aud
successful farmer he knows the needs of
the agricultural classes and appreciates
the causes which tend to render farming
so unprofitable under a system of legisla
tion enacted for the benefit of others than
the agricultural interests. If elected lie
will do all in his power to remove the
burdens and advance the prosperity of the
clpss upon which rests the success and
glory of this country the farmers.
Of Mr. Woodard's personal and moral
character nothing need be said. He is
without reproach, leading the life of a
refined Christian gentleman.
Let us all work shoulder to shoulder
to elect Mr. Woodard, knowing well that
his election means the election of a friend
of the people and such a friend as can
and will do much to improve the condi
tion of the people of the Second district
and the State.
The Republican State Committee met
at Raleigh last week to determine whether
a State ticket should be put in the field.
Dr. Mott, Judge Russell and others are
oppose d to putting up a ticket. They
say that the Republicans should fuse
with the People's party, supporting the
People's party candidates for Congtess
and in return ucttim; the aid of the
People's party toward the election of the
Republican electors. Chairman Eaves
and his followers are in favor of a straight
out Republiean State ticket. The meet
iug of the committee was therefore looked
upon with more than usual interest
There was much discussion upon the
ipieMiun of calling a convention, and
finally the committee pas-ed a resolution
to the effect "that the convention be
called to take such action as should be
deemed wise," and September "th was
fixed upon as the day.
It is reported that Mes.-rs. Russell,
Harris and Mott wrote to headquarters
at Washington sometime ano, advLiny
against a State ticker; that they were
sniffled iha' without a State ticket they
could carry the State for Harrison. In
response to this, it i said that Secretary
Fo.ter of the treasury wrote to Mr. Eaves
urging that he make a compromise with
tin Third patty State ticket thus reliev
ina the white people of any fear of negro
supremacy in local government by this
means expecting the Third party electoral
ticket to draw largely from the Democra
cy, thereby weakening it, while the Re
publiean party polls it full strength, and
powibly cive the State to Harrison. It
is thought in some quarters that this
advice will largely govern tho action
of the Republican eonvention, if the ac
tion of the people's party convention
this month affords an opportunity to
uicser.

the sores soon decreased, and I began to feel
