T. I Crawford. In him the elements of greatness and success are evenly distributed. In the past thegifted Vance and the lamented .las. L. Robinson of Macon were tall men, sun-crowned, who lived above thefog in ])ublic duty and in [)rivate thinking, men who were (,‘ver true to their people and who in turn v.'ere loved and their memories revered by the people they represented so faithfully and so long. In our judgment : no man since the days of Vance ! and Robinson has ever stood I closer to the people among whom I he lived than W. T. Crawford. c:andidate. We are anxious to see this district in tlie democratic column with a majority of iu)t less than 1.000. and we believe that Crawford’s nomination wo'd })ut it there. We are for the nominee of the congi’essional con vention whoever he may be but that convention should be an honest ex})ression of the majori ty of democrats in the district. To this end \ve urge every demo crat in this county to attend the township primaries and see that each candidate gets the propor tion of representation that is due him. In this lino the Waynesville Courier last Aveek contained the in with a ro(juest to i)ublis'ii-—it speaks for itself: '.vs: If there is a man in Transylva nia county in v>’iiom the e()Uiiii>>r, ])('ople havi; unl)ound(.Hl (•■».!*> di'iice. and in whom tin' eorii'ira- tions can llnd no fault, tha: maii is tiie Hon.
