' Col. Short.
The Tarboro Guide pays a handsome
and a by no means undeserved compii
ment to a most excellent Igentleman,
Col. H. B. Short, of Columbus county,
when it nominates him for Lieutenant
Governorjof the State. The Cape Fear
section is entitled to some recognition
on the State ticket, and we know of no
one who will more worthily represent
us than that true, tried and patriotic
son of North Carolina'. " : The Guide
says: " ' - - r ' .y
1 We enjoyed a visit on Tuesday from
Col. H. B. Short, now ol Flemington,
on Waccamaw Lake. ' s
The Col. wa3 just returning from
Martin, 'the county of his nativity.
Down there Ihe i3 idolized ; in Nash,
where he lived during the war, the peo
ole mention his name in their prayers.
and in Columbus, they love him so well
that thev are always trying to shove
some office on him. - . -
Acrainst his wishes, he was the
strongest candidate for Qongress in his
District, and it was he who. at last,
nominated Col. Wharton J,! Green. We
rise tosav the State does need the ser
Vices ot such men, and we j don't want
to send them out of the btate to serve
u. I Let's make him Lieutenant) Gov
ernor. His knowledge of: parliamen
tary usaires would well become the pre
sidio r officer of the i Senate where he
has served his . constituents and State
so acceptably. . ' j
Col. Short is admired wherever he Is
known, and his circle of acquaintances
covers the greater portion ol the: State.
Amiable, polished, genial, witty, far
sighted and able, he stands in the full
stature, a well rounded man. i ' - ;
By his own industry he has carved a
large fortune out of the timber business,
which, with his triends, he enjoys to
the full. Charitable to a fault, his poor
neighbors and laborers daily bless his
bounty. He has converted Flemington
from the abode of bat and swain p owls
. , iii l : l : n
into a beautiful village, and since his
residence there of 14 years, Waccamaw
Lake has become historic. - H. B. Short
is the man for Lieutenant Governor.
