All communioatioue must be signed by the real uume ol the writer, !ubscrioers wishing their address chanced must give the address to which the paper has Been going, as well as the new address. Correspondents should mall news letters in line lor them t reach this office by Tuesday morning, to ianre their appearance in the reek's iiifl Imnortaiit hanwnincs. such as ocnihi. fin's, accidents, etc., may be 'phoned at The Courier's expeuse The Democratic County Conven tion, recently in sesuiou, nominated Messrs. T. J. Finch and J. Rom Smith as their candidates for the Legislature. Mr. Finch was pres ent and a delegate to the Conventon and declared then that it seemed im possible for him to accept the nom ination, but he considered the mat ter, his final decision being based upon business matters which closely eBgaged his attention, and engage ments from which he could not re lease himself forced him to decline the nomination. Mr. Smith was not present at the convention whitih nominated him, and it was only'af. ter such nominations that the Ex?c utive Committee was advised of the illness of two members of his family, one of whom has been for some time in a hospital, which to gether with pressing business inter eats made it impossible for him to accept the nomination. A Bhort time ago Chairman Mil ler received as final the decisions of the gentlemen above named, and the Executive Committee being called togethei, (the County Con vention having relegated to the Ex ecutive Committee the power to fill any vacancy that might occur on the county ticket) and unanimously agreed to tender the nomination for the Legislature to Messrs. 0. R. Cox and H. B. Carter. These gentle men after carefully considering the matter have both agreed to accept the nominations, and we are pleased to call the readers' attention to their card appearing in this issue in an other column. Both Mr. Cos and Mr. Carter are making material sacrifices in thus becoming the Leg iblative candidates. While the nominees chosen by the county convention are loyal true Democrats and good men, yet Messrs. Cox and Carter are splendid types of men and Democrats who are unsurpassed in standing and character by any citizens of the State. The falsehoods circulated about the Democrats "hunting the woods for candidates" is of like character to the other false statements circu lated throughout the county, as no man other than the candidates nam ed above, have been approached by the Executive Committee.are solicit' ed in any way to accept the nomi, nation for the Legislature, We call attention to Chairman Miller's card, in this issue, referring to the matter.' BACK TO THE SCHOOL ROOM For the past two weeks back to the schoolroom has been the all-con Burning thought of thousands of the studious North Carolina children. Back to the pursnance of routine drudgery and the instructions of eookish professors will be their por tion for the many months that aie yt to come and truly a richly por tion it is. They have cast their long summer vacation in the back ground and for the next seven or eight months they will spend their precious time in an entirely a dif xerent field of endeavor, A field that opens np the avennes of oppor tunity in many directions and bids them travel while they may. Though seemingly long they are to the average youth, they soon speed by, and then yon must squarely face the so-called tough old world. And upon the issue of how well yon have played your part in the sohocl-room will much depend as to how adroit ly you can ward off the knocks that await yon when once yon step into thewhirl of the business world of this the 20th century. : It Is therefore incumbent upon every school boy to hew the mark of the old adage, "make bay while the snn shines", by taking advantage of CTryc-Ttrtanity that the school room offers and then some. Let not the '-unknown quantity" of the mathematical problems or the dry ness of po?trv or prose serve as i stumbling block in cheating you out of a thorough school training but meet the many apparently per plexing problems squarely and ferret out the solution in detail. By so do ing you are preparing a safe road to travel when once you are called upon to fight life's battles in earnest, aud in later year3 you'll fully realize the rich harvest that such a course reaps. WHAT THE PLATFORM MEANS Some Republicans in Randolph and elsewhere are troubled about the jargan of words about "local self government" in the State Republi can platform means. Mose liar shaw, the leader of the Republican party in the legislature says it means county local option and "likker." Tom Settle, who succeeds Judge Pritchard and Tom Rollins of the leader in charge of the Re publican party in Western North Carolina, says it means town option, township option, mint jalips and "liRker" everywhere, sone of the smaller potatoes say first one thing and then another. To be certain about some of the Republicans in this and other coun ties, have written Chairman More head to know what he and Butler meaat by the platform as it is un derstood that Butler wrote it. More- head did not know what to say and called the state committee together to tell him what to say. They did not know, so Dr. Mott, Tom Settle and Harry Skinner were appointed to tell him what to answer. They are now wrestling over the situation and an answer may be expected later on. The first article of a thick and thin Republican creed, that is, the bosses who control it, is a blind in veterate prejudice against the fel lows who belonged to some other party. According to. their views no Democrat can do a praiseworthy thing. Loyalty to party does not mean blind, bitter abuse or disie- gard for the opinions of others. Such fanatical devotion to party is the ideal manner of conduct neces sary to win the favor of those who are now going it wild and in charge of affairs of Republican policies in this bailiwick. If a Republican wears the label of fair dealing and takes off his hat to a good man elected to office. There are Republi cans, and good men, too, who render unto Caesar that which is due him. They honor a public official who manifests a genuine desire to serve the people honorably and .fearlessly, and any good citizen will respect such an official, and it makes little difference whether he be a Democrat, Republican or Missourian. The real people, not the two by four pol iticians, admire him and praise him, and take oil their hats to him. HOLTON AFRAID TO FACE THE MUSIC. Mr. Editor: While in Greensboro to attend Federal court I found that it was advertised that District Attorney A. E. Holton, who has been in office 15 years, was to speak at the court house with the county candidates, in a big blow off on Friday night, Sspt,9th. The wicked Democrats challenged the District Attorney to a joint dis cuisioo but District Attorney Hoi- ton was lite nis nephew down in Randolph, he didn't want to help furnish a crowd for Democrats to speak to. J udge Bynnm was to pre. side and chairman Morehead was there and bless yonr life, what bap. pened, the poorest speech anyone ever listened to. iiynum was there, Holton was there, Morehead was there and about half the candidates, and 95 other people, that was the fall crop, half of the 95 being Dem ocrats, ii unariie Holton, who thinks he is running for solicitor, draws crowds like Gene Holton drew here tonight in this great big city it will be gratifying to stand back.- I am an old-fashioned fellow and do nut believe in these new f angled methods introduced in Randolph by Holton from Yadkin and Lewis from Montgomery. But thev sav up here that Butler hss given cot orders not to permit joint discus sions, bat most of the people think it is because Holton is too weak to defend their side. ' - ... Republicans who are ashamed of it and tired of not being permitted to hear the other side, and of hay ing to sit silent when their candi dates are being accused of cowardice. It may that Republicans are more sore over being ordered by Butler not to permit any joint canvass, than they are over receiving invita Hons from Democrats. Reluctant acquiescence i3 anew if not a dangerous disease. Treat ment, bandages on the head and limbs, and a quiet retreat where farther acquiescence or embarrassing suggestions or propositions cannot be made. Day by day the number of Re publicans increase in this county who prefer to let the little boys tarry at Jeiicho to let their beards grow. An Announ?ement to the Public. To the people of Randolph County : After having been chosen by the Democratic county executive com mittee as the Democratic candidates for the Legislature, we desire, in thus accepting the nominations, to say that any reluctance we may have felt in standing for these hon ors has proceeded not from lack of deep interest in Democratic princi ples, and belief that the best inter ests of our country are best served by that party; not from concern or apprehension of defeat at the polls, as Democratic success in this county this fall is certain ; not because the foolishly false and wholly absurd statement and rumor has been circu lated that Randolph is boss lidden and ring luled, but from the fact that until very recently our private business affairs nave seemed to de mand our immediate and continuous personal attention, and that even now we are making sacrifices such as few men in the county under stand in thus responding to what comes to us as a surprisingly spon taneous call of our countrymen throughout the county. Wo ' have been - solicited - by all classes of our citizenship to make this race. Representative men of the county have urged us. We have been approached by men who are known as leaders of the Demo cratic party, but our duty was not made plain and imperative until all former arguments and represen tations had been reinforced and em phasized by the call of the brawn and sinew, that popular and most worthy body of citizen generally spoken of and known as the work ing class, and of the farmers of our county. The combined influences brought to bear upon us have con vinced us that no personal sacrifice on our part can stand in the way of the duty that has thus been made plain to us, the duty that we owe to our country and to our countrymen, and now that we have yielded we enter the race to W1JN, and we ap peal to our citizens, to aid us, not only by their votes, but that they use tneir influence in securing the attendance of their friends and neighbors at the polls. A ever in us history has the na tional Republican party been so fla grant in its abuse of power as now; never has it enacted more pernicious and injurious laws, resulting in the clogging of the wheels of industry, and; consequent suffering of the cruelly oppressed hordes of unem ployed, than at the recent sessions of Congress ; never has its very life oeen in sucn jejparay as now, brought about by internal warfare, dissensions and hatred. The people have awakened to the situation. Re cent elections show that the labor ing man of the North has aroused himself to the true situation, and is no longer the subservient pawn as in days gone by ; the men of wealth and importance and of great influ ence have deserted the Republican ranks, and these have stood together and have hurled the malefactors from office and from trusts which have been betrayed. The great West will return more Democrats to the next Congress than has before been known in its history, while the South will pre. sent the former solid Democratic front. Our own State will more sternly than ever rebuke that party which has chosen for one of its lead ers a man who has been of any party and of all parties, and whose history shows that his membership in each has ended sadly'. , Fellow citizens, our loins are girded for battle ! We expect to make this an interesting campaign, and with the co-operation of the democrats of the county we snail give the Radicals such a beating as they have not had in many years. We regret that our opponents nave refused a joint canvass. Xney confess, by that refusal, that they are unable to meet the array of in criminating charges that will be brought against their party, and seek by making reckless charges,and more reckless claims, atf places andl and at times of their own selection, refuting to divide., time, and free from the lar of question? and con- triidictioi s, in de.oue the people. Sui.ii bitoJn unfair, and fair men with thinking minds will repu diate the party that insists upon such methods. - Very respectfully yours, 0. R. Cox, H. B. Carter. September 14, 1910. . NEWS OF ALL SO RTS Items of Interest Picked Up Here and There and Condensed The contract has bee a given for the building of another cotton mill at High Point. James A. Trexler, a well known citizen of Salisbury, died in that town last week. S. W. Cooper, of Fayetteville, has been commissioned paymaster ge leral of the North Carolina National Guard. The Soihernal Traction Company have proposed plans on foot for building an electric road from Gastonia to Asheville. The bridge just finished for the South Bound Railroad over the Rocky River is 750 feet long, and cost about $110,000. Zeb Griffin, in Wilson superior court last week, was given 20 years in the penitentiary for killing of his neighbor with an axe. ' Contracts have been awarded to the Elliott Building Co., of Hick. ory by the Southbound Railway for depots on the line of the railvay from Winston-Salem to Wsdesbora at these stations: South Winston- Salem, Eller, Lexington, Fairmont, Tuckertown, Whitney, Albemarle, Norwood and Ansenville. Mr. S. R. Winters has resigned and A. L. Fletcher succeeds him as associate editor of the Lexington Dispatch. Mr. Winters bos accept ed a position with the Asheboro Con. rier. Both are young men of abili ty and character, and we wish them success. -r-Greensboro Daily News.- A Very Small Affair Work on the walls of the new pas senger Btation is being pushed and a few more weeks will see the build ing completed. We have heard ex pressions of disappointment on all sides at the size of the building. Many thought the plans of the station called for a much larger building tban the one that is beiasr erected. Should Sanford grow in the next few years to be a town of 10,000 or 15,000 and it no doubt will and should there be much in crease of passenger business at this place; this station will be entirely tio small to accommodate tbe pub lic Sanford Express. To the Public. In view of the misleading and false rumors which have gone forth throughout the county, to tbe effect that the Democrats have been bard pressed in pursuit of candidates for toe .Legislature, to take tbe place of Messrs. Finch and Smith, who were forced to decline the nominations made at the Democratic County Uonvention, l desire to say that the Executive Committee has approach ed no man in any way with any sug gestion or offer of the candidacy, for the Legislature, except Mr. O. R. Cox and Mr. H. B. Carter to whom the nominations were tendered by the Committee at their last meeting, which nominees, I am pleased to state, after some hesitancy on their part on account of large business af fairs, have accepted.
