Another Democrat Advocates and Calls on Voters to
Support Candidates Who are Pledged to Two
Term Policy in Coming Primaries.
1 ? ? ?
Mr. Editor: ?
X no tl cod an article In rour paper
sometime ago wrltteu by the R^v.
Mr. Oreen, of Pantego, on the ap
proaching campaign, but judging
from the many comment* I have
heard Mr. Oreen's article doea not ex
pirees the sentiments of the general
public. And while Mr. Oreen Is a
clever writer, yet all will reedlly uu
derstand the math purpose of his ar
ticle, for that is round tn its closing
words., But we always did admire a
man who, under all circumstances
proved true and loyal to his friends.
We at? understand that Mr. Gieen Is
for Mr. Ricks, but he does not clearly
define his position relative to the oth
er two candidates referred to In hie
article, and I krfbw there are many
Democratic voters In the county who
would be Interested in knowing
whether or no he is also a Rumley
aad Tayla* man. "Consistency, thou
tart 'ft Jewel." Mr. Oreen favors long
terms fpr county officero. And per
bapa it is a great pity but what be
could lnguoe all the Democratic vo
ters in th# eounty to think aa be doee
about it, tor then he oouid smash the
Democratic pl&u of orgahlxatioa as
pertains l<* the nomination and ctev
.jio * of couTrlv officer:-. Wi would
have no more need o? primaries or
convention' j that pm-4.tab, no more
rplrants for county offloors. We
vld do a#sy with all tlio confus
ion and excitement of these things
entirely, except in the case of daath
of one of the officeholders. Perhaps
?that would be best, but tin fortunately
a majority of Democratic votera do
hot think so, and the light Mr.
Oreen has turned on has failed to
convince them. The fact Is, the Dem
ocratic voters of the county do not
approve of such long ? almost life ?
terms, for our county officers. I have
l.always opposed It myself, and be
lieve that the best interest of our
party demands that the time of con
tinuous service 6e restricted to four
MAA. Then lot I'.ie i^a:? who bas'
IU m honored by ti e people, and who
has en)oyed the benefits of
step down and oat, thus making room!
for other geod men ol our party and
their sons.
Mr. Bdttor. I believe if this la un
derstood and practiced by our people
that our party would gain ?i&$S3fQ|
thereby, aud it would In a larife^F*,
ure be the means of re*toriiflPfnat
peace, and harmony In our party so
much desired by all good men. 1
?hall In accordance with what I con
clave to be the best for the party gen
erally. support the new candidates,
and do all I can to secure their nom
ination. Two of vthom I am person
ally acquainted with, Messrs. J. H.
Harris and E. it. Mixon. They are
both men of high moral and Christian
^character. fully competent and qual
ified to fill any office within the gift
of the people of this county. And
that, too la a way and manner that
would be highly pleasing to its citl
senshlp. And 1 am sure the party
would make no mistake In nominat
ing and electing these two men. They
would be an &onor to the office and
would add strength to the ticket I
am not acquainted with the candi
date from Aurora, but hear that he
la a Clever, competent gentleman, and
worthy of our support.
Now, Mr. Editor, 1 am not much of
a writer, but I have tried to write the
above in a spirit of fairness and Jus
tice to all. have always voted and
worked for the Democratic party,
and have supported the old candi
dates ever since I moved to Beaufort
county several years ago. And will
still do so, if they are the choice of
the people. But In the coming pri
maries 1 shall support the new can
didates because I believe the best in
terest of the people demands It and I
place party above man. They are all
out on the two-term proposition, and
have pledged themselves not to ask
for a third term. And I hope they
will receive the support they deserve
In the cpjplng irrlmarTes.

BENEFIT AT THE
ClAIETY TO SIGHT
The program at the Gaiety tonight
? which is an exceptionally gpod one,
includes a Olograph masterpiece:
"The Face at the Window" ? a story
of the result of filial disobedience,
i In this Olograph production Is shown
the contaminating Influence of reck
less associates. The young man hav
; ing graduated from college, goes in
to the world, meets and marries an
, artist's model, and Js discovered by
hiB father. Later, a victim of drink,
he deserts his wife and child, and
goes the usual road. The wife, at the
point of death, begs her husband's
father to care for the child, which
the old man does. The child grows
lltto manhood, and on the day of his
graduation, while celebrating the oc
casion.' the-, face of a tramp appears
at the window. In the dark they bring
the tramp In, add find him none other
than 4he boy's father. This is a fea
ture picture and should not be mined
by any lover, of the Blcfgraph. The
next ts one of the ihost intense dra
matlc pictures we have had the pleas
ure to offer. All the scenes laid in the
great Canadian woods, entitled "In
the Great Northwest." It Is a love
story laid la the great pine forests
and among the soowclad hiHs of the
Northwest. A poor little country girl
la deceived and married against her
will almgat, only to discover her mis
take nrlni !nnl interest
is In the sealery and. costuming
which depict phases of life In that
little-know a territory. It brings to
thOM who have never been in such s
country a reproduction of a strange
land a strange people. Then there la
a good comedy entitled 'Cyclone
Pete's Matrimony." This entire pro
gram' is a feature and you should
not miss It.
