no county in the state where the
county Democracy is so united on
oue man. His connection with
the annual Masonic picnic iu the
county for so many years has
made him a host of friends in this
and adjoiningcountiesj. Bailey
has beeu our friend and leader in
Davie for many years. He is "our
political idol. It matWs little
to him personally whether he gets
the nomination or not. He ex
actv no pledges. He makes no
promises. To each voter his
friends say, if you- like him, say
bo. If you like some one else bet
ter, siiy po. His friends will be
conteut. He knows 'no political
creed but that of Democracy, and
has given the best, efforts of his
life to its service.
The news form the district is
most encouraging to his friends.
He is likely to be nominated.
Let every Democrat in ( every pre
cinct in the district -go to their
procinct and township conven
tions and express themselves for
their choice and insist that their
strength, whoever it is, for, be
represented in their county con
vention and also in the conven
tion in Salisbury on 19th of June.
This is fair to everyone.' Thi is
Democracy. Let there be no
where the whnper of unfairness. ,
We be brethren. We are Demo
crats expressine our rhmVo nA
namirg our candidate.
Vx should be no strife among us aud
there shall be none by Bailey's
friends. He would scorn the
nomination if he is not the choice
of the entire dbtricti The con
vention will make no mistake if
it nominates him. He is equal in
ability to any one who can be
named. He will add new strength
to the ticket. Davie will elect a
Democratic member to the legis
lature this year and with Bailey
for judge, we will be happy.
Very truly,
C. C. Sanford.

Loudon, May 24. A wealthy
woman named Silva recently died
atTLisbou and left her entire pro
perty to a "rooster." She was a
fervid spiritualist, a believer in
the transmigration of soulsi and
imagined that the soul of her
dead husband had entered the
"rooster." She caused a special
fowl house to be built and orderer
her servants' to pay extra attention
to their "master's" wants. Th
disgust of her relatives over the
will caused the story to becdme
public, aud a law suit misht have
followed had not one of tEe heirs
adopted the simple expedient cf
