as hardly conceivable that

Democrats Demand 1 Coun- ,
ty Officer From South
Side of River
Mr. Editor: We want to ask the
Democratic voters of Beaufort county
whether or not our public officers
are fairly distributed over the coun- t
ty. We would answer Mr. Editor v
that they are not. Nature has very c
evenly divided Beaufort county with
Pamlico river and at present every a
Court House office in the county Is ?
filled by men from the north side of*a
the river, while the county is divld- v
ed by Pamlico river yet we don't |j
want the Democratic party of the ,,
county divided by anything. We. ft
want a strong aud united party in 0
the future as we have had in the |
past. <Yet we Teel that ths Demo- t
crato on the south side of the river ?
deserve some recognition. We are
loval to the oartv and work for the ?
party's success and we feel that it la K
the duty of the party to give us one f
Court House officer* on this side of
the rhrer, and we ask you to give us j
this officer In the person of W. W.
Hooker, for sherifT. We do not contend
that Mr. Hooker is a perfect
man, yet it is a fact recognized by g
all men who know him, that he is a 0
good man and a loyal Democrat, and 8
we believe would inake us as good a n
sheriff as we have ever had. Sheriff B
Ricks hald two years ago: "If you d
wljl give me the nomination this c
time I will not aak for it agatn." Tet 8
we find him begging as hard and i(
working as hard for it this time as Q
he ever did. There was no compul- H
sion for Sheriff Ricks to make aay h
such promise as he did, but after ?
making such a promise it baa his
duty as a man to abide by it, and if a
be yMI not. then 1t 1s the duty ofvlhe
Democratic party to make him abide
by It. We say again, give us out
Court House officer from the south a
side of the river and give us W. W. c
Hooker for sheriff. d

ticeable Feature c
Early In the senatorial campaign
le Interest of the farmers of North
arollna la the reflection of Sena>r
Simmons became a noticeable feaire
of the situation.
This fact le not difficult to exlain.
Oar North Carolina farmers
re qalet bat well informed citizens,
hey think to. 'hemselves, and they
>ake up their minds on the merits of i
matter. i
The farmers of North Carolina
now: i
First. That Senator Simmons was
tared on a farm and Is now a farmr?spending
as much time as his
IBclal duties will allow on his farm
i Jones county. He understands the
Lrmer*s point of view and sympa- <
tizes with the farmer's condition.
Second. That in the Senate Mr. 1
tmmons has always taken the Farm
r's part, not in a perfunctory way,
it earnestly, even when to do so
as likely .to bring criticism upon <
m, as shown by the following stateem
of some of his activities in the i
irmer's interest: i
1. Hit great work to get the Na- '
onal (Government to aid In tho I
uilding and maintenance ot the i
ural Poet Roads?a work that is \
ire to bear fruit shortly. 1
2. His advocacy of a Rural and i
eneral Parcels Post to enable the i
ERiex to get parcels and packages I
f man*on J^e Rural .Delivery Routes ?
id for tire reduction of the rate 1
id an increase in the weight-limit I
l all parcel post packages.
3. His powerful resistance of i
resident Taft's Reciprocity pact
;heme to put what the farmers prouce
and sell on the free-list with
anada while protecting with high
iriff rates the things that farmers[
iust consume and buy?such as i

4. His efforts in opposition to
gambling in farm products and bis
notable speech in the Senate in which t$j
he showed that fifteen cents per
pound was a fair price for cottsm.
This speech was made in his protest
against Attorney-General Wickersham's
plan to prosecute those who
were trying to raise the price of cotton.
He showed Wickersham up as
prosecuting the cotton "bulls," but
letting the cotton "hears" go free.
6. His amendment to our immigration
laws, designed to prevent the
farther immigration to our country
of Illiterate aliens of the lower class.
6. His signal leadership of the
Senate in passing the Iron and steel,
woolen and cotton tariff bills, reducing
the tariff on articles the farmer
must buy such as cutlery, clothing,

Third. The Farmers of North
L>aiu.iuii u??o not only taken note
>f these prominent features in Senator
Simmons record, but tbey bare
read the senator's speeches on rarldus
subjects of interest to the farmer
and the laboring man. and they
have been impressed with the eviJence
that he has a genuine and 3
iblding interest In their welfare and
that he does not have to be remind- *
;d or urged to be on the alert in their
dehalf. He does not make profeslions
or promises, he does things.
With such a record of service to
speak for him. it 1s no wonder that
the farmers of North Carolina are in
overwhelming numbers advocating
the re-election of Senator Simmons.
They are men of common sense. They
are moved by practical considerations,
not by political ambitions. And
their judgment is about as safe a
guide as can be found.
