THE NEWS. OROWSON & COOK, Pbopbucrs. ,lOODN F. CROWSON, Editor. 1 JNO. M. COOK, Business Manager. ONK DOLLAR PER TEAR. Kntered in the Postotflce at Burling- '' ton. N . C, as second class matter Wednesday. April 4, 1900. MR. HOLT DECLINES. ?R. Robert L. Holt, notwith standing tbe pleading of his ionamerable host of triends, announ eesthat he wishes his name with drawn from the race for nomination as Lt. Governor. His reasons for this : are that bis business interests are each tEat in justice to himself no nther course is open for him. Mr, Bolt ia manager of four cotton Mill?, Is manager of his mother's and sis ter's estate and has other bueinf s Interests which wholly occupy his entire time, and under the circum stances, he considers it best to have his name withdrawn from the race. In faot he says it is impossible for him to spare the time that would be required of him, should he receive the nomination. This determination lie says, is final. To show the additional work that is put upon his shoulders by reason of his name having been tug gested, he showed us the pile of let ters received in one day which he was complied to answer. Letters from all over the State, urging hi in to accept the nomination and assur ing him of support. We are sorry that the conditions are such that Mr. Holt does not see bis way clear to become a candidiate . for this nomination. If he had only kept "mum" and stood back, hid friends would have done the rest But be positively refuses- We are Bare that Mr. Holt would have re celved tbe nomination and sure that if nominated be would have been elected. But, he won't let us, and we will have to give it up. But we are sorry I Mr. Robt . L. Holt, is received all over the State, in connection with the second place on pie State Demo cratic ticket; and are sure that if his name bad only been suggested a week or so sooner, bis nomination would now he assured. As it is, his chances .of rrcei vine the nomination are good.- In Mecklenburg county, on tbe day of holding the primaries, bis name was suggested for Lieut.1 Governor, and though tickets were not gotten to near all the precincts, yet (he drlegates were instructed for him. Wherever his name, all over the countre, is suggested, s strong feeling is at ouce manifested for his nomination, and we believe now, notwithstanding tbe . ' disadvan tages under which his friends labor on account of the late hour of pre senting his name, he will be nominated. A TCOCK AND SOL T. fliHE following- communication. t . signed "Democrats" appeared in the Charlotte Observer of last Sunday, and we reproduce it to show in what Spirit tbe name of Mr. R. L. Holt, as Lt Governor is reoieved by other counties. : 'Mr. Robert L. Holt received a majority of the popular vote, of : Mecklenburg county for the nom ination for Lieutenant Governor at the recent primary election. His . friends did not present his name to the people as a candidate until the day of the' primaries, and then they : were not able to get his tickets , to hall the precincts in tbe county. He, however, received almost the Unanimous vote in the precincts fn which his name was presented, . . His friends feel confident that had his tickets been placed at all the pre cincts his vote would have been almost unanimous all - over' the county. : The above faots demonstrate the great popularity of Mr. Holt among all classes of the people He is a yonng man of tbe people, and is as loyal totho Democratic "party as he s to his friends.. Tli manufacturing interests of Kr'h Cirolina e re not second to any other. 1 1 the advancement of the material prosperity: of the State no Hume stands higher than that of Bolt, and no name more prominent than that of Robert L. Holt. - M. Holt's friends feel that no name7 would add ' more strength to the Biate ticket -. The euphonious Combination of Aycock and Holt would be as invincible as pleasing. Mr. Holt's friends in Mecklenburg, therefore, ask the other counties in the State to second his nomination and make his election unanimous." Ttb ark gratified at the way in e r ime cf our towr-v We understand that Hon. W. S. Long, oi Elon College, will be a can didate lor State Superintendent of Publio Instruction, on the Demo cratic ticket. Mr Long has been connected with educational work for a long time, and is familiar with the work in all its branches. He now occupies the position of County Su perintendent of Publio Instruction, which position he has tilled -very ac ceptably to our people and wonld without doubt as honorably fill the place of Slate Superintendent.
