This week the contract for grading I the Raleigh & Cape tfear ltailrdad will I be awarded. . The road goes to Lil'ing- ton, Harnett County, and even further. At L.iIiington it will croea the Cape Fear river. Next summer Raleigh jfolks can take a steamer trip there, for Assistant United States District Attor ney Odear Spears, who lives at Lilling ton, says the people there will provide a steamer and a barge and also buiid a 'big paviJlion, thus making ready for the coming of the excursionists, who will vvaka up the hamlet of Lillington. The latter is an interesting hamlet. kSome time ago wood-peckers destroyed tbe court house there ; fined it so full of holes thai it wa3 a mere shell and had to come down. Now there is a new court house and a tine bridge. A Raleigh man says Lillington is o! par ticular interest, as showing how small a place can b3. The above appsared in the Charlotte Observer a tew days ao from its Ral eigh correspondent. ! Now, the editor of The Common waelkh has a very tender feeling for Harnett, for it was his birth place and tbe home of his youth. We question the statement about the wood-peckers pecking the court house down ; and as to Lillington be ing such a "small place," we can only Bay if that Raleigh man will go down i there and oake the statement publicly he will be right apt to go away with i a case of the ' big head." That is to Bay, it will be so if certain quiet look- ing fellows of pugilistic ability guard the lienor of the Gear old precinct as they did in our school boy days. Lillington to us has ever been a big place, for th?re we learued many things at the feet of that prince of i quiet scholars, Rev. William Brunt ; ' and there we heard the classic conver sation of Dr. John McKay, R. C. Bel- ; din, Esq , and others. ; .We call down any R-sleigh man who "speaks saiali" of Lillington, or any f other place m Harnett county. THE STATE CONVENTION. Cor. to The Commonwealth. There is. no telling what will take place in the State Convention at Greens boro on July 17th. Under the gener al plan ol its organization all kinds of democrats regular and irregular, . the old guard and the bolting, the appoint ed delegate and the free-pass delegate will have equal volees under the provi sion that "all democrats who may at tend are to be regarded as delegates." The purpose of the free-pass delegate will be to overthrow the expressed will of the people as it already has been determined by a certain element that they will either dictate the actions cf that body or bring about confusion, dis- j order, ruin. It is necessary that the people at large be ready for any contingency that may arise, and in the very great concern we have as to the outcome of the fight for Chief Justice, we seem to lose sight o! an equally important mat ter the manner cf naming our U. S. Senator. In the name of the people I I ask that the Convention give us a primary in order that the people maj name the man. The people are the sovereign in this country -and to none ot her does kingly power belong. In matters which vitally concern the people their wishes should be expressed and then be car ried into effect. I believe in the doc trine of the "referendum," and our party is committed to this doctrine both by declaration and precedent. For tbe sake of the perpetuity of the Democratic party we carrot de- jtKotrfreia this doctrine, and I there fore ask the State Convention to give us a primary throughout the State, at which primary the people can say whom they will have the,. Legislature to elect as U. S.- heuator. We must have a primary for this purpose, and to this end I shall use my utmost endeavor. Will all who agree .with me join in with me in such a de mand? Let every man in iNorth Car- I? r . . 1 . " . . . who is m Iav:.r ot each a primary speak out, and there will be produced cueh a loud acclaim that our represen- rtativea will know we are in dead ear- l MMf ttnf wilt than' arranf. fha rennaat Respectfully, ROBERT A . FOARD. - " - Charlotte, N. C H1LI FAX COUN IY FI FANCIES. Editor of The Commonwealth : It seems that my modest suggestion In a late issue of your your paper has stirred up some of our county "officials." According to Mr. B. A. Pope, chairman, I ought to have informed myself as to the state of the county finances. He says that the county ex penses were actually reduced last year $100.00. That the levy this year is tiye cents in tbe $100.00 lower than last. Mr. J. P. Futrell, treasurer, says that I am off in my politics and financier, that the treasurer's books show no such condition as stated by me- I fear these gentlemen are in clined to tase a somewhat rosy view of tbe situation. Here re some of the reasons why I think a change ought to be made in the selection of- a board of commissioners : At the legislature of North Caralina 1899 an act was passed authorizing the commissioners of Halifax county to issue coupon bonds of said county to pay the Indebtedness thereof in an amount not to exceed $15,000. Cb ip. 535, Sec. 7, authorized them to levy annually a special tax of not more than five cent3 in the $100 00 worth of property and hi teen cents on tbe poll, to provide for the p-iyment of these bonds. In 1901 the commissioners ot Halifax count? were authorized to issue bonds to pay the indebtedness thereof, in an aufount not to exceed 110,000, bearing interest at six per cent , Acts 1901. Chap. 198. At the same legislature Chap. 69, the com-f missioners of Halifax county were authorized to use tbe surplus funds derived froaa the sale of bonds of 1899 issue, for the annual and current ex penses of the county. I am informed that these bonds were issued for nearly, if not all, of amount authorized, and that thov sold in the market at a premium. Hero we have in the last two legislatures Halifax county asking for $25,000, or authority to issue bonds to that amount, with which to pay debts and expenses of the county. What assurance have the taxpayers that the next legislature will not be asked for more? Is tbe county so rapidly deteriorating that she can not pay her debts and expenses without resort to issue of bonds? I think not. The assessed taxable property In Halifax county is greater now than in years past whenjho amount levied for taxes was sufficient to pay her debts and expenses. A few years since the ;ale Dr. W. R. Wood and his associates on the board, with W. A. Dunn as heir legal counsel, toojt charge ol the county fiaancies or board of com missioners, paid the county debt md expenses without resort to issuing bonds. Can it not be done again? I still think that there should be a change in the board of county com missioners, and as there seems to be objection to some of tbe names I men tioned, politically and personally, I will state that I am not wedded to any purticular men, just so that they be good business men that will administer the affairs of the county economically : nd I think the suggestion of "Tax L'ayer" in your last issue, that the number be increased to five men, from different parts of the county, a good ne. With such a board I will be wil ung to risk my reputation in being "off in politics and finance," Mr. Fut rell being the judge. S. OUR CLUBBING OFFER.

OF THE SECOND JUDICIAL DISTBICT. The Democrats of Bertie eounty ask you to nominate Judge Francis D. Winston to succeed himself. No good reasons appear to the party here why we should not ask, and yon should not make this nomination. It such reasons appeared bis name would not be presented. It may not be neo cessarv to state the grounds on which our people make this request with cons fidenee. We know there prom's in the district the same love ot fair play and justice which obtains with us. We are sure you would not knowingly do an up right, capable and honest officer an act of injustice. We feel that Judge Winston's defeat would be act of party injustice under all the circumstances. We have no criticism to make of the character or ability of those who aspire to the office which Judge Winston fills with signal ability. Some of these gentlemen we have vigorously supported in the past and under other circumstances we would now be found among their most loyal supporters. We do not hesitate to say tbat by every consideration ihat has heretofore obtained in Democratic conventions Judge Winston should be accorded an endorsement of his course. His record as a party worker and party leader entitles him to the nom ination. During the great campaigns ot 1803 and 1900, campaigns which developed into genuine revolutions, he was selected by tbe Democratic State Executive Committee to perform tbe mo6t trusted and most important work of tbe campaign. He did it thoroughly. No man contributed more to the over throw of Russell and Butler and their negro allies, and they hate him ior it, and great would be their joy at bis de feat. His work did not end in the campaigns. When funds were needed and badly needed, although a man of small means, Judge Winston furnieed considerable sums ot money to tbe committee. His party services were held in high esteem and but lor sec tional necessities he would have been nominated for Attorney General. Judge Winston's appointment by Governor Aycock was made alter tbe fullest deliberation ; after a most care ful survey of the field and upon the strongest possible endorsements of the bar and the people in all parts of the State. The Governor had no axe to grind, no personal debts to pay, no motive, nor purpose, except to promote the good of tbe party, tbe welfare of the publicxand the proper administration of justice. His appoint ment was made and there is nothing In the manner of its making that jus tifies opposition to bis nomination. What shall we say of his record on the bench ? Has it not been from first to last a most complete demonstration of the wisdom of his appointment? Is there a Judge on the bench to-day that stands higher? Is there one that com bines more happily pleasant manners, and generous sympathy, with judicial impartiality, firmness and dignity? Is he surpassed by any one in his ability to dispatch business? In his courts there has never been nor can there be any confusion, delay or miscarriage of justice. We will not lengthen this article with quotations from the press or with copies of the resolutions of tbe bar, Lwhere he has held Court. The press and bar and people have been loud in his praise. Has he failed in his duty? No. Has he met public expectations , and de mands? Most abundantly. How does he rank as a Judge? Among the best. What is his character? Strong and upright. Is he popular and agree able? No one more so. Has he rendendered sufficient ser vices to tbe party ? Ask tbe White Supremacy Clubs and the Democratic revolutionists of 1898 and 1900. Why then should he not be nomi nated? In behalf of the Democracy in Bertie county who have ever accorded due recognition of faithful party ser vice and official efficiency ; and who will be guided in the approaching Conventions by tbat spirit, we present to tbe fairminded Democrats of the 2nd Judicial District tbe name Of this faithful officer and ask thai he be given tbat which has ever been Demo cratic usage and custom, a fair and just custom, a nomination 'Where his character and official conduct merit it. We believe that tbe Democrats In this judicial district will accord to ns this nomination. We at least are con fident that we have good grounds for asking it. St. Leon Scull, Alexander Labbiteb, W.
