IS. W. Pou of Smithfleld, congressman from the Fourth district. None of the gentlemen have made any public an nouncement, but it is learned from various sources that the;' cr- giving the instier'' ''..careful eon; .'erol.iin which means that there will likely be "something doing" in the Fourth. Those mentioned as contestants are: Solicitor Herbert E. Norris, of Kalelgh, Mr. U. H. Hayes of Pitts .coro. Attorney General T. W. Bickett of Louisburg and Mr. A. C. Zolli C)r.er uf Henderson. Mr. T. T. Ti'orne of Tlocky Mount is reported i.s raying that "if they got too nrniy In tha race, I reckon I'll have to cu ter t00."V With such an array of candidates there would be a lively time In the Fourth district next summer. All of the gentlemen arc strong men in this district and all are reckoned as strong stump speakers. Solicitor Norris. Solicitor Norris, one of those men tioned", is serving his first term as solicitor of the Fourth district. Ho is well aud favorably known in every county, has made a vigorous and successful prosecutor and is justly popular throughout the district. He has served Wake county in the leg islature and has always been a strong factor In politics. He would undoubtedly have the united backing of Wake county that is, ; all the forces would more nearly lino up be hind his candidacy than they would behind that of any other man. That shows his strength here. His friends say Wake county Is entitled to the honor. Mr. Pou hak bad the job ten or twelve years and deserves a rest, they say. -Mr. Norris. in a strong speaker, able lawyer, and would take care of biniBcif in a con test between six candidates. MrHuyes. Mr. It, If. Hayes of Chatham county has long been prominent in politics. He has been the recognized leader of his county and is known to be a strong 'lawyer and able de bater. In a spirited : contest be would bo heard from. He would of course 'have Chatham county, as a nucleus. Attorney General Biekett. It was Mr. Blckett'a splendid nom inating address at Charlotte, when he presented the name of Col. Ashley Home to the democratic convention, that gave him the office of attorney general. Htftook the convention by storm. And he has held down the office of attorney general with abil ity for nearly four years. He-is one of tho1 best speakers in the stale . and, hailing from Franklin county, would have a strong following. - The Henderson Man. Mr. A. C. Zolllcoffer of . Vance county has been a member of the state senate. Like the other gentle men, he it a strong lawyer of recog nised ability and there la nothing against his entering with good chances ot vanning. Vance county would" do the handsome thing by him, but ha would- have to fight It cut with tho other men for the nom ination. ' Mr. Thome. ; hlt, T .T. Thorne of Rocky Mount may not be in tha race. He has not mentioned tbe subject much, so far as can be learned, but he has told soma friends,-' Jiel1a , sfttd, that he would. teero"n?&lled;$o help liven up '.lungs it all the oilier gentlemen nentioned got in the race. He is one of tho best men in the state and would surely make things lively. Congressman Pou. Congressman Edward W. I'ou has held the position for ten or twelve years. Before this he was solicitor for an equal number of years and he has, his opponents say, had office long enough. Mr. Pou is a-spleudid speaker -and has a strong bold on the people of his district. Efforts to break their hold huve boen made from time to time, but without suc cess. The task that the five other men will set themselves to will be the prizing loose of Mr. Pou from his job. They think they can do it. Friends of Solicitor Norris say he is the man to do the job. THHKK DEATHS FROM COM l'ytty Good Record for Atlanta Witji Only Three Deaths. Atlanta, Jan. 15.
