To the editor:—Will vou do me the courtesy and justice to print in tomorrow's issue of your paper the enclosed letter, which lam this day mailing to the Chairman of Wake County Demhcratic Ex ecutive Committee, giving the reasons for my not being in a position to be voted for in Satur day's primaries, and greatly oblige, T. G .COBB. Morganton, N. C., June 4. MR. COBB'S LETTER. Morganton, N. C., June 3. 1908 Hon. J, N. Holding, Chairman Wake County Democratic Execu tive Committee, Raleigh, N. C. Dear sir:—l have yours of re cent date in which you kindly in form me that your committee have ordered that primaries for all officers—State and Congress ional—be held in Wake county on Saturday, June 6th, and that I, as a candidate for Commissioner of Labor and Printing, have as sessed S2O to help defray the ex penses of said primaries, and that it is further ordered by the com mittee that no candidate shall be allowed to be voted for at the pri maries who fails to pay the as sessment fixed by the committee. Now realizing that there will necessarily be some expense at-1 tached to holding of primaries in j your county, (and I would gladly have paid a reasonable share), 1 fail to see why this expense should be four or five times as much as that of the other coun ties of the State—Guildford, for instance. lam judging, of course that all candidate have been as sessed alike, and those for th# more important offices more than! those for the office for which I am a candidate. I am free to say that with the other expenses necessary to my campaign, this order of your com mittee is little short of my "dis franchisement" in your own county—and I have a number of warm friends in Wake who have expressed their intention of vot ing for me. * I trust that this order of your committee was not made for the purpose of "freezing out" anv candidate, for that cannot be their idea of true Democracy. Feeling disappointed and sorry ! that my friends in Wake will not be allowed to vote for me on Sat urday, I am, Yours for Democracy' T. G: COBB. The 4th of July is a day set apart by an all-wise providence for those people who want the most excitment in the shortest time. % Ashley Home For Governor. 'To the Editor: In reference to the candidacy of the Hon. Ashley Horne for Governor of North Caiolina, it affords me great pleasure to say that, after an acquaintanse of forty-three years. I wish to give my unquali fied support to him as candidate for Governor of North Carolina. He returned from the war, lean in purse, but strong in hope and ambition, and determination to overcome the desolation created by the war.. So after the lapse 1 of the years that have passed— many of them years that tried men's souls—he comes before you with a character as pure and spot less as the driven snow. We see him filling places of trust in his own county, in our legislative halls, in our public institutions, always measuring up to the full requirements of the hour. Ever a lover of peace and amitv, within his own fold, reali zing that we are brethern, what ever of wrangling may have oc curred, can in no way be charge able to his account, but there was an eloquence in silence, which was his to command. Men of the Fouith Congression al District let us roll up a solid , delegation to the Charlotte con- I vention. What say you, men of thin grey line who stood with him on the firing line at Sharps burg, Chancellorsville. Freder icksburg, Gettysburg, in the trenches around Richmond, at Fort Steadman and Appomattox? What answer now that the bat tle of the ballot is on and Com rade Horne asks your support? I What say you, horny-handed sons of toil, vou who have borne i the burden and heat of the day in the regenerating and building up of this great commonwealth of North Carolina, bringing her |to the forefront as one of the great agricultural States of the Union? i For the choice of Citizen Horne for the office of chief magistrate »| of this great commonwealth, we • have one of the noblest North , Carolinians of them all, I will r not say Roman's of them all for • never in Rome's palmiest days i was there offered on their coun r ■ try's altar such self-sacrifice, : s ich devotion to duty, as no liv . ing'witnesses can testify to in ; the lives and services of such !men as Governors Vance Scales, Jarvis, Glenn and others. And may we not be permitted to say, t also in that of citizen Horne? 3 J. M. MONIE. i Raleigh, 1)1. C. June 4,1908. t ; Subscribe for the Democrat. TIE VERDICT OF THE PEOPLE. In tones and languap-° thst cannot be misunderstood, the i eo p.c of North Carolina have. yoken it the polls. From time to time ihe fear-has been expressed by certain Democratic papers that the legislature was running ahead of the people and that injury to the party would result. Those who expressed that fear and felt it, will be delighted to ftnci themselves mistaken, while tnose who merely used it for a pretext will be utterly confound ed by the overwhelming major ity rolled up for prohibition. The whiskey men set before them selves the task, not indeed, of defeating the measure but of cutting down the majority to a figure that would virtually mean defeat. It would have been far better for the cause of prohibition itself that it should have been defeat ed than that tbe majority in its favor should have been held to five or ten thousand. As it is, the measure starts out under cir cumstances such as will give it a fair trial and will enable us to determine with approximate de finiteness whether or not pro hibition does prohibit. That it will, its friends confidently pre dict and if it does, the boys of i the open saloon are gone for ever. I Young Lady Burned to Death Near Lenoir. Miss Jennie Deal, a young lady j who was so seriously burned last j Wednesday evening while pre-! paring supper at the home of her 1 father, one and a half miles south of Lenoir, died the same night from the effects of the accident. The young lady's clothing in some way became ignited from the cooking stove as she was making some coffee for the family and before she was able to ex tinguish the flames, her body was enveloped and she fled from the kitchen into the yard. There was no other member of the fami ly near when the accident occur red, and before aid could reach her, she was so seriously burned that she died about five hours later. The funeral was held Thursday morning from the home, and'the remains were interred in Belle view cemetery. Miss Deal was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs W. W. Deal, who live on their farm near Lenoir. "A man at twenty-five expects to set the world on fire," says the Montgomery Advertiser. True enough. Indeed, it never seems to draw upon him that the world is mostly asbestos untill he gets along about three times twenty-five. THE BEST PILLS EVER SOLD. "After doctoring 15 years for chronic indigestion, and spending over two hun dred dollars, nothing has done me as much good as Dr. King's New Life pills.

You won't tell your family doctor the whole story about your private illness you are too modest. You need not be afraid to tell Mrs. Pink ham, at Lynn, Mass., the things you could not explain to the doctor. Your letter will be held in the strictest con fidence, From her vast correspond' ence with sick women during the past thirty years she mav have gained the very knowledge that will help your case. Such letters as the fol lowing, from grateful women, es tablish beyond a doubt the power of LYDIA E.PiNKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND to conquer all female diseases. Mrs. Norman R. Barndt, of Allen town, Pa., writes: "Ever since I was sixteen years of age I had suffered from an organic de rangement and female weakness; in consequence I had dreadful headaches and was extremely nervous. My physi cian said I must go through an opera tion to get well. A friend told me about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I took it and wrote you for advice, following your directions carefully, and thanks to you I am to day a well woman, and I am telling all my friends of my experience." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bear ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges tion, dizziness,or nervous prostration. Mr. Home is Confident. Mr. Charles W. Home, of Clayton, son of Hon. Ashley Horne, candidate for Governor, in an interview with a reporter of the Wilson Times said: "My father is very much en couraged and his friends are con fident of his nomination. His delegation will stick like brothers and will stay in Charlotte till next January, if necessary. When they leave him, it will be after the convention doors are closed —after he is nominated.
