The North Wilkesboro Hustler is advocating tho organization of a fair association for that thriving town. Nothing will be of more as sistance in tho development of the town or cultivate more intimately a profitable acquaintance with the rich agricultural districts adjacent. Winston Journal. Hon. S. Porter Graves, Democrat ic candidate for Solicitor, is cam paigning Wilkes this week. He spoke at Millers Creek yesterday and will speak in Wilkesboro this afternoon. He is a clean speaker and wo are pleased to note that his speeches are making a favorable im pression wherever he goes. Will he bo elected? Why certainly! Things Are Pretty Lively and the Woods Full of Candidates. The campaign in Wilkes this year is not lacking in interest, and the independent Republicans are mak ing it pretty warm. There are six candidates for the Legislature two straight Republicans and two in dependent Republicans, and tho reg ular Democratic nominees Hackett and York, tTt. latter having joined the boys at Millers Creek yesterday. Porter jyict Lyon the independents, are making it very interesting for Bryan and Pegram, the regular Re publican nominees, and all kinds of old charges are brought against them backed by affidavits. It has been said that Bryan is about as bad as they generally can get, but if half the charges preferred agaist Pegram are true, and he has not successfully controverted them, he is a meaner man than Bryan, and we do not believe the better class of Republicans of the county will vote foi him. This part of the campaign is devoted to personalities and abuse, but it is "dog eat dog" for it is Re publicans who are indulging in it To an uninterested outsider it clear ly evident that neither is fit to rep resent our people in. the General As sembly of North Carolina. They have nothing to promise, only that they are Republicans. It seems that they think this itSbeopen sesame all that is neccessiwry to secure their election. We are pleased to note that Gor don" Hackett is making a clean cam paign, and to use the words of one of the straight Republican nominees the only man in the w hole push who is making a decent speech and off ering the people anything in return for their votes. This is gratifying, and if the people want a Represen tative they will vote for him and York. They have tried both York and Bryan. The former has done them good, while the latter has done nothing but draw his pay. With Ptgram's record staring them in the face, we do not see how honest men can vote for him. Hack ett will be in a position to do for our people such things as will great ly benefit them. They are recog nizing this and he is gaining strength every day. And Mastin and Somers? Oh, well the fur continues to fly, and Mastin is clearly master of tho situa tion. It is thought that his majori ty will be safe, with several votes to spare. Altogether tho situation is in fine shapo and if the Democrats will on ly do their duty success is assured. He's One of the Best. A special from Mooresville Friday to the Charlotte Observer says: R. N. Hackett, of Wilkesboro, spoke to a good sized audience at the town hall last night. He discussed na tional and State issues and showed very clearly that he knew what he was talking about. His was a fine speech and was entirely freo from abuse. The comments upon the the streets to-day were many and all, regardless of party affiliations, spoke well of the talk. Beat It. Mr. W. A. Sydnor showed us a beat this morning that ho raised which beat any thing wo have ever seen in the way of a beat. It weighs 27 pounds, is 2 feet3 inches long and measures 2 feet 1 inch around.
