Tha lieutenant Governor came here because this was a strong Gardner county, in the primary eon tests aad an altogether unorthodox suffrage cotfnty. He also came because Candidate Parker recently went te Shelby, his home town, to capitalise the wounds ef Osrdacr ' supporters who caw their favorite' beaten by Cameron Morrison. Parker aaid nice things at Shelby about Mr. Gardner and with fewer words and equal sin cerity the latter followed the McAdoo- Simmons precedent at New Bern a few days ago. ,- "I here and heartily endorse aad reciprocate his complimentary refer ences to me.'
