THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1904. JUDGE JUSTICE INDORSED. The Democratic convention here Monday, did well in indors ing our county man, Judge M. II. Justice as a candidate for Asso ciate Justice of the Supreme Court. Iti honoring him the county honors herself, lie has always been true to his people atid party, and Tin-: Tribi'xf. would rejoice at his promotion. The resolutions have not been over drawn. He has filled every trust honorably and with ability that has been committed to his hands, and would be an ornament to the highest tribunal in the State. THE COUNTY CONVENTION. The first county convention of the year has come and passed into history. Those who were ex pecting any dissent ions must have returned to their homes with a feeling of disappointment, for everything said or done was in the spirit of union and harmony in the Democratic ranks. The question of a primary had been submitted by the commit tee to the voters themselves on last Saturday. The attendance at the precinct primaries, as the returns show, was small all over the county; but of those who did express themselves, the question of a primary won by a handsome majority, and the convention on Monday made the call unani mous. The people w ill, there fore, for the first time in our his tory, nominate their candhlates for the county offices by a direct vote of the Democratic party at the polls. Now that this question has been passed upon let us divest ourselves of whatever prejudices t hat may have been engendered ; set our hands to the work of nom inating the very best men we have, and unitedly work to se cure their election in November. We can do this; we must do nothing less than this. Let the things that were be as though they were not. "We be brethren. If all were agreed, as we think they should be, we are simply invincible.

Mr, Morrow began the 1 1 THE COUNTY GANVASS. The question as to whether the candidates before the Democratic primaries will canvass the county or not is already being mentioned. It seems that some fear that an active canvass will result in bad feeling, and will furnish our common enemy, the Republican party with amunition with which to fu-e the Demr cratic nominees later on in the campaign. Oth ers think the only w ay by which the people can be informed rela tive to the merits of the several aspirants is by a direct appeal to Plenty of Fruit in Some Localities A Marriage Personals. Correspondent of The Tribune. Nanito, May 2. We are having some nice weather for farming now. It has been a cold backward spring and the peaches are about all killed except in a few favored localities that are above the frost belt. F. D. Koon and Copper Bill both have an orchard of that kind and they have a good crop of fruit. Farmers aie generally pretty well up with their work. Forward corn is coming up nicely. The wheat crop is a little backward this spring owing to the cold weather. People are becoming somewhat aroused politically. We met at our precinct Saturday and voted on pri mary. The vote stood thirteen to 3 in favor of primaries. Mr. C. F. Blanton, of Ellenboro, was here this week on business. Miss Suda Ledbetter, of Ayr, is spending this week here visiting rela tives.

Honorable J, F. Alexander is the most prominent man for the Senate and we would like to see him nomina ted. Give us Gudger or Crawford for congress. Both are worthy men and we don't care which one we have. W. N. S. Rollins, of Nanito, would make us a good sheriff. He has made wonderful improvements on his farm; it looks fifty per cent better and one who makes such a success as a farmer would make a good officer. Misses Daisy and Clara Nanney, of Darlington, and Miss Julia Wood, of this place, were welcome visitors to The Tribune office yesterday. Miss Clara will return to Marshall May 20th, to look after the literary societies con nected with the school there, until term time, while Miss Daisy will not resume her work until some time in August. It is a matter of regret that these accom plished teachers cannot be retained in the schools of this county. A LUCKY SUIT. fight for a primary two years ago, and has seen his cherished hope fulfilled. Now he submits his claims to the people and will loy ally abide their verdict at the polls. If not the choice of the people he is for the people's choice. He is no kicker. R. E. Flack makes his debut into political preferment by his announcement as a candidate for Register of Deeds. He conies of Democratic stock on both sides; is a graduate of one of the State's leading colleges; is a man whose christian character is well known, and who is in every way qualilied for the position to which he as pires. C. R. Simmous makes his an nouncement for Register of Deeds also in this issue, lie is a son of II. L. Simmons, deceased, of this county, and is a well-kuown bus iness man, having been, we be lieve, head salesman in both the Henrietta and Caroleen Mills Stores, and general manager of the Florence Mills Store at Forest City, embracing a period of ten or twelve years, lie is a yery pleasant gentleman socially and in every way worthy and compe tent. Charley has a host of friends who w ill work to secure his nomination and election to this ofiice. These views for and against an active canvass will adjust them selves later. After all the candi dates shall have announced them selves, they will determine among themselves the wisest course to pursue. Lattimore R. F. D. Notes. Correspondent of The Tribune. Latimoke, R.F.D. No. 1, May 3. The boys of this section have organized a base ball team and played their first game last Saturday afternoon. They did well for their first. The farmers of this section are getting along nicely with their work. They will soon all be through with their plant ing, and we are glad to see a more thorough preparation of the soil this year tlian usual. This means better results in the end, Miss Toncie Wa'ker returned home from Shelby last Saturday, where she has been spending a few weeks with her sister, Mrs. F. L. Hoyle. Rev. Martin Gold, a promising young minister, preached at Sandy Plains May 1st. J. P. Walker and family visited at J. D. Bridges. Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Green, of this place, visited at Mrs. J. F. Green's of Hollis, May 1st. Mrs. G. W. Whitaker and family and W. E. Walker and family, spent Sun day with Z. R. Walker. Mrs. R. H. Lewis of Raleigh, which was finally referred to Mrs. Gabbert, Altanta, Ga., Custodian for the crosses of honor, generally conferred ou the Confederate Veterans at their reunions, with the hope of having a supply of these May 10th. Her efforts thus far have servt d no valuable purpose. No crosses have been received. Is this be cause the North Carolina Daughters voted at the last reunion at Charlesion. S. C, against Mrs. Gabbert? We hope not. We wish the daughters here to make their annual visit Tuesday to the cemetery and decorate every Confeder ate grave with flowers ; and we to be lieve they will do so? Two Valuable Receipts. Our friend, J. H. Smith, of .Itom, gives us this valuable receipt to pre vent chicken hawks from depredating on young poultry. He has tried it; it will do the work : Whitewash all fruit and other trees about the yard with a solution of lime. Hawks wont go about them. Try it. For so-called hollow horn and hol low tail in cattle: When the cow refuses to eat or fur nish her accustomed amount of milk, fill the palm of your hand with spirits of turpentine and hold to the cow's navel. If the cow is sick it will be ab sorbed at once, and the cow will be well in a few days. Usually one appli cation will do the work. If it does not, repeat every third day. When the Sap Rises Weak lungs should be careful. Coughs and coldj are dangerous then. One Minute Cough Cure cures coughs and colds and gives strength to the lungs. Mrs. G. E. Fenuer, of Marion, Ind.. says, ''I suffered with a cough until I run down in weight from 148 to 92 pounds. I tried a number of reme dies to no avail until I used One Min ute Cough Cure. Four bottles of this wonderful remedy cured me entirely of my cough, strengthened my lungs and restored me to my normal weight, health and strength." Sold by Dr. T. B T.

Active op erations on the Yula river are go ing on. In a land engagement there last Sunday the. laps defeat ed the Russians with a loss of over 2000 men. A second attempt on the part of Japan to block the harbor at Port Arthur was unsuccessful, re sulting in a loss of several fire ships and two torpedo boats to the Japanise. The tide of war sweeps on with advantage on the side of the Is land Kingdom, but the Russian resources are such as not to be overcome by man7 such reverses. JUDGE ALTON B. PARKER. We present, on our first page, an etching of Judge Parker,whose star is in the ascendancy for President of the United States at the St. Louis convention. If nom inated, and it seems now that no contingent event could be more certain, Judge Parker stands an excellent chance to be elected in November. Subscribe for THE TRIBUNE.

McDowell and Polk counties have instructed for him and it is now conceded that this county is practically solid for him. At the primary on Saturday last some of the townships instructed for Mr Gudger and others would have done so, had the matter been called to their attention. Mr. Gudger was here Monday and it was a subject of remark that he was the choice of the people of this county. The Exposition.
