But the only excuse for a printer we have had was a noisy mmitbod citizen of the Palmetto state, whose chief cst and only ambition was to be something,s“ fort man.” We know you will be pa tient with us under the cir cumstances, and *re shall be careful in the future as to tht printers wo employ. TOMORROW’S VOTING. On tomorrow the die will !»e cast. The many can* diqrtes, for all of whom we cherish the very kindest of feelrngs will know their ree bective fates. Throughout the campaign,the Headlight’s policy has l»een this : To dc and say the right to eveiy one, as it saw the right to be. We have striveu to do this. And now a final word to the voters: Let each one care fully and seriously consider the issues, as they present themselves, and then vote ac cording to the better dictates of his own conscience.

AUGUST 4TH., HKW wear sir: In reminding yon of yoor appointmoifc atone of the poll bolder* to conduct the Democratic Primary, Saturday August 4tb, I desire to impress tbe importance of thia duty, and urge you to render this service to your party. It la very important to our party that only Democrats pertici pate in naming oar nominees. Thia is a Democratic Primary, and not a general election. None hot Democrats are invited or expected to participate, and as yoo and tbs other poll hohlers have been elect* ed by tbs party to bold it, so the party looks to yoo to preserve it from those who light It* nominees after they have been selected. It is dearly yoor duty to challenge any voter whom yon know, ordmvs reason to believe, is not a Democrat. To snob en one offer ing to sots you should first enquire if he is a Democrat. If he answers no, that ends tbs matter, end he cannot vote. In addition to satisfying ths poll holders that he is a Democrat, any vn(rr who is ShaJIdoged may be rsqsirsd to pledgs himself to abide l.y tbs Mdt ot said primary sod support the ticket nominated—end in cam of vofttosl to do as, should not be allowed to vote. This I state to yon to be tbs law of our party, and on it* strict nforsrmsnt dspsn ds the parity of the primary system. As hetwvsa ths various candidates for our party's nomination, ^ pollWnlt'srs should be Impartial, Thty should not work forauy of them while bolding tbe primary as represent*!irae of the party. A*ter the polls have dosed the result should to carefully ssesr titasd by ewnntof the votes,and return# duly mad* according to ths rsias of ths , rimary—which yon are urged to read carefully. The Ntarasshould be sent in {tomptly hy careful and trustworthy hi ads, so that ths rsselt may be desisted, as the law provides. PMraRegjlKl*.);; Years very truly, H‘- X. EVKlfcTT, rh. fmnfi.

Patriotic ladies by the score, and 'good citizens by the hundred, did come and did keep coming till standing room evon was appreciated. Entlmsiani from the start «as unbounded, and almost all of it good uatured. He who had any doubt or miagiving as to the future welfare of Richmond Coun ty’s Democracy needed hutj to observe the deep and abiding interest in each speak er's every word. Needed in1 ihort, to breathe the true atmosphere ol the assemblage a id to fed the spirit of las tiu lowship which throughout was maintained. rue, thoro cum« a lew minor rough places, a few jars and jolts; bnt who overheard ol :i missionary meeting ro pol itical gathering where there was not some dogree of ex* citemont. That’s the vorvsoul of the thing. Besides, this was all explained away by Hou. Walter I,. Parsons, a legislative candidate whom is all probability our county will present for congress ional honors two years hence. Mr. Parsons said : “We have come to where anordinary jolt s nothing. The Democratic party has grown able to stand them, Whichwas followed by a continued uproar of ap plause. When the Pee Dee band had played half a doz en patriotic airs, Mr. W. 0. Leak stepped to the rostrom and in a happy little speech announcedthat that he had been appointed to act os chairman. Mr. J/eak didn't as the news paper men usu ally say, “call tho house to order,."There was no occasion The first speaker was our present sheriff, Mr. M’ L. Hinson’ who announoed himself for reelection. The sheriff isn't a man to be knownforhig mnch speaking, lebelieves in actions. H.<res his speech Fellow Rt*ra« - ends, you know me, uim your candidate. 1,11 appre ciate your support. “ The next offic under consider ation was that of Register of Deed F<jr * this, there aro five candidates. Mr. Frank Roberts of Hamlet spoke lirst. Ho has set upon the courthouse rock, and he wauts to set some more. He was once a resident of Rock ingham. The tonter mem ories of “ auld lang syne*‘ are oft tunes touching his soul, and he hopes that oth ers may feel a like touch,aud extend a call to wend his foot steps again hitherward. Next caine Mr. Z. Hadley, one of tho best young men in the count.\ ; he reminded his fellow Democrats of his sacrifice and 103'alty in U8. And thanked them for their support Juow. Mr. J. C. Caudle, of Hamlet saya he,s been a clerkin in a store these nineteen years,and hasn,t saved a dollar yet. He needs the offico. he says. Mr. B. Furuian Reynold* a a* next speaker; and bit speech wu au able uno. lie made a gtxxi im pression here. Stated hi* t<>wn «tiip l)*d never bven represented on th* couuty ticket. He got off some rich jokea on hia com petitor*. William Lottie bteele laid : tien tlemeu, here’* your next Register, and I waut to iliaud you iu ad* vauca. The curtain folia here for a brief interlude, and rise on the oouteal for clerk of the Superior Court. Mr. T. L. Covington, who made an able campaign for the same position two years ago came first. He expressed his sincere apprecia tion for the kind iutereat hia friends had taken, and would thank everybody for their votea. Hon. Walter L. Parsons was the uext speaker. He defended himself by aay.ng ha bed nothing to do with Mr. Frecinan’a, candi dacy, it haviug been statek that Paraon’a friouda first brought out friendi. Mr, John L. Everett asked hie record. It was the custom to give au office the second time. Hu was willing fo» the good Democrats of the connty to handle his cate. Capt. A. T. Cole next announc ed himself for Treasurer in a few brief, words thanking his friends. Mr. D. M. Morrison told that since '08 none had been more loyal to Democracy’s banner. M. A. Jerome Williams merely announc es hie candidacy to the voters of the county, thinking alt for their kind support. Mr. W. D. McRae, who former ly filled the Register's office so sat isfactorily to all, and who was de feated at the hands of the fusion ista after only one term, thinks be is entitled to a second term, and believes the voters will be with him ou Aug. 4th. The curtain falls agaio for a very brief interlude. Thie time it rises ou tne fight for Reprerenta tive. Mr. Martin C. Freeman, of Hamlet, comes first. He hntid to call the word “trscnery”—but be thought the action of oertaia members of the party would Just ify him. His talk, like Mr. Fr emen’a, au able one. Both these gentlemen are dry, Mr. Freeman uaeerting tnat he is the driest man in North Carolina, and with ev*ry diopof hie Angle 8**00 blood, he would always be fighting the whiskey evil Mr. S. M. B license is a eontion to the liquor prom lent. He fa n a dry county f that were possible: but veya he hates to tee people totin' prohibit i « in one hood and a Jog io she other.
