We wish to present to the State, and especially to the Democratic party, as a candidate on the State ticket, at the election to be held in November, 1912, for the office of Lieutenant Governor, a man whom vc esteem, and one whom we con sider admirably fitted for any office with'n the gift of the people of North Carolina In order that the people of the State, and especially those who by right of franchise given them, have it in their power to say who shall occupy these high places of trust r-md honor, we wish to write the?e fcts in reeard to this man, his lifV, his qualifications, and his fitness f.r the position within their gift. This h no stereotyped campaign matter sent out by an aspiring candidate to be paid for by the line or fpace. but the honest expression of respect and appreciation which we feel for a man whom we have known from childhood and whose life among us been an open book. Walter Eugfne Daniel was born in Weldon, N. C, August 14, 1859 Being for years the only living chi?d of parents of ample means, he was given every advantage nec ssary to develop an already bright mmd, we see him at an early age a studerit of Wake Forest College, from which institution he graduated at the age of eighteen yenrs with the degree of Master of Arts and also with the first honor of lus class. Upon his return from college he beiran the sudy of law in the office of Captain W. H. Day, one of the first lawyers of North Carolina He afterwards entered the law school of Judge Geo. V. Strong, of Raleigh, and after standing a successful exami nation before the Supreme Court in Jure 1880 bis license for the practice of law was withhe'd until he became twenty -one year s old in thefodow ing August. In January, 1S81. he began the practice of law in Halifax county, wirh hi- office in Weldon, and has lived a'l h slife among his own peo ple -n h's native town and county. slop.

AU, DRUGGISTS 11-19 At this time Halifax county was , overwhelmingly Republican, but knowing the peculiar endowments I of the young attorney, the leaders of the Democratic party in 1882 urged him to become their candi date for the Legislature, and so he entered po'itics as leader of the "forlorn hope," and although he was defeated he no doubt planted seed in that campaign which helped to redeem Ha'ifax county from the rule of ignorance ard corruption with which it was cursed for so many years. In spite of his defeat he was elect ed the next-year by the Board of Magistrates as solicitor of the Infe rior Court and held this office for two terms. In 1890 he was made attorney for the Board of County Commissioners and held this position until Janu ary, 1895. In the revolution in county and State politics which begun just pre vious to th?s he was elected Solicitor of the Second Judicial District in 1894, being one of the few Demo crats elected, was re-elected in 1898, and again in 1902, resigned the office just before the election in 1906, and at that elect i- n was elected to the State Senate from Halifax county. In that body he was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee and took a prominent part in the legislation concerning railroad rate regulation and was afterwards of the attorneys for the State in the litigation with the railroads which followed the re duction of passenger fares and freight rates. At the special session of 1908 he favored the compromise that had been agreed upon between Governor Glenn and the railroad companies and took part in the solution of this question. So much for the political career of our candidate from which we see that he is no novice in the political arena, but a man well armed and equipped, able to guide and direct, and as L-'eutenant Governor and President of the senate he could de cide all questions with cool judge ment and wise deliberation, no mat ter h w difficult the problem to be I considered. j As a man and citizen his life has ; been exmp'arv in the highest de ! gree. From oung manhood, a mem i ber of the Baptist Church, he has be I come a leader in its councils and a 'liberal supporter of its every enter ! prise, and, charitable and kind, he ! has always been ready to help every i wr-rthy cause, while a large hearted j hospitality Is dispensed with a lavish har d to all who enter his home. I Since the revolution hi polities heretofore referred to Halifax county has recovered her anti-bell urn prestige in many respects and is row one of the largest, wealthiest, mast progressive find most strongly Dem ocratic counties in the 'State, and while she has sons like Mr. Daniel worthy to become successors to the illustrious statesmen of the past, she has had no' representative on the State ticket since the war. In urging Mr. Daniel's name for the position of Lieutenant-Governor we feel that it would be only just to him, to the Democratic party of the I county of Willie Jones, of Governor Hutchings GBurton, of Governor Branch, of Justice J. 4; Daniel, of Andrew Joyner,'' tcd&'ot our many other eminent statemen that this long deferred honor should be ours. For: these and many? other reasons we respectfully urge bur claims upon the; Democratic primaries ana we hones4 ly feel that should the mantle of these men of the past fall upon our friend and fellow townsman he would wear the dignity as worthily as any who have preceded him in that office. Roanoke News. DON'T SPEXO H ALL Lay Aside Part of Your Earnings Regu . iarly and Watrn it Grow. The Robeson Plan. The farmers of Robeson county held a meeting Saturday, at which th-y agreed not to plant more than 60 per cent of their land in cotton. A feature of the meeting was a s ieech by Mr. A. W. McLean. As reported in The Robesonian, he de clared that "if a man could control the time merchants of the South he c uld control the cotton acreage." The landlord may tell his tenant that he wants him to plant so and so and everybody else may preach reduction of cotton acreage, but if the merchant to whom he looks for supplies tells him he must plant so much cotton or he gets nothing from him there you are; in the cotton goes, just as much as the merchant says. The lien law is re sponsible, too, for labor conditions, said Mr. McLean, and everybody knows he was right again. A negro with a house full of children and no land can get more credit than a man who owns a thousand acres of land, and as long as this condition stands you can't do anything with them. The matter having been put to the merchants, they agreed to organize the Cotton States Merchants and Business Men's Association, to be composed of all the merchants of Robeson county. This association wdl not sell credit supplies to farm ers who will not agree to plant 40 per cent of their land in crops other than cotton. If two things happen Robeson will have a smaller cotton crop t.ext year. These two things are: If the farmers will stick to their 60 per cent and the merchants to their 40 per cent. The plan may succeed in part, but we fear it will fail as a whole. Charlotte Chron ical. Put Tour Hooey In a Bank. It is good advice which a Colletan County, S. C, exchange gives in urging farmers to start bank ac counts this fall, no matter how small the amount left over after the year's debts are paid. We quote: "If one keeps money in his pocket, it is likely to go and he will never know how it goes; so though you have only ten dollars in your pocket, go to one of our banks and start a bank account. To have money in a bank will give one a feeling of inde pendence nothing else can give. Do not think that because you have only five or ten dollars to start an account the cashier will not want your de posit. Any cashier will gladly wel come you as a depositor if you have but one dollar. Wc hope thousands of our readers will follow this excellent counsel. Having a bank account . (1) encoura ges the saving habit, (2) dignifies the farmer by making him more of a "business man," (3) provides a better system of paying out money than specie payments, (4) helps the community in which one lives, and (5) makes it easier for the depositor to borrow in case borrowing in stead of depositing sometimes be comes advisable. Put your money in the bank. The Progressive Farmer. BEST FOR ASTHMA, CATRRH, BRONCHITIS. Why need anyone suffer Horn any throat or nose troubles when sooth ing, healing HYOMEI is guaranteed to banish all misery or money back. "Trie underpinned herewith re commends HYOMEI to all who are afflicied with asthma, catarrh, or bronchitis.

A complete outfit "including inhaler costs $1.00. Extra bottles if neeeed 50 cents. Just beeathe it. ,', ; When you see an advertisement of the savings department of a bank let it be a clarion call to you to start an account, if you have not already started one. No matter how small. Put something away for the "ndny day" that is surely coming. We no ticed such an advertisement, which says: "The hardest thing about saving is the start." And that is true, as all who have made -the start can testify. The proverbial attitude of youth toward the future is one of sublime confidence and optimism. The years seem long and the oppor tunities appear unlimited. It is easy to assume there is plenty of time to begin saving later in life. But some how the years slip by and two many people never make the start. Then comes the time of reckoning when the mature man realizes what a boon it would have been had he begun to save in the rosy, promising days of his youth. The way to do it is simple, and savings accounts nowadays are open to all. It is a universal opportunity to make money by the elemental process of not spending it. Too many young men commit the fatal mistake of considering tne advice to save as old-fashioned and out of date. They want to have their fling, and somehow the saving person as sumes some of the attributes of the "tight-wad." It is customary to hear young men say with a sneer that so-and-so "ought to have money because he never spends a cent." And this sort of false reasoning puts the wrong light upon the whole scheme of saving. A man can save without being stingy or mean. Look at it in a sensible light. The savings account is a strict business proposition and the sooner the young man learns this the better it will be for him. It is a form of insurance that he cannot afford to be without, and it is a form of investment that pays well in interest, lhe savings account is a barometer of self-respect. As the account grows there is a reflection of it in the bearing and character of its owner. A bank account, honestly acquired, has more than a money value, for it gives a man stability and confidence in the batt'e of life. The bank ac count asks no favors; it demands no sacrifices, and, in time of trouble, it is ever at hand a friend in time of need that can be depended upon. It should be taught the children early in life. Parents of young men should insist upon the savings ac count as an early step toward good citizenship and financial independ ence. Not only should parents see that their children who are ear ning make the start, but they should de mand an accounting once in every little while in order to keep the ac count growing. This would help the young man and the young woman over the first hard stait Saving is a habit, and one of the most useful habits that can be acquired early in life. Once firmly established, the habit will lead on ultimately to afflu ence Wu -LI:' ?.:-- ' r ' "' 'Absduicsiy Pa:-o The only Baking Porde? mud:- Trom Royal CrapeOrea WO ALUM, NO L!P5 PUOSP How to Punctuate.
