Noble for Clerk.
On August 3rd. the Democrats of
Johnston County will meet In Smith
Held to nominate candidates for
the Legislature and County offices.
For Clerk of the Court, Mr. A. M.
Noble, of Smlthfleld, has announced
himself as a candidate, and I believe
that the Democrats of Johnston Coun
ty cannot find a man better qualified
to fill this Important office than Mr
Noble.
It Is for the following reasons as
well as many others why I believe
that the Democrats should nominate
Mr. Noble to succeed Mr. Stevens as
Clerk of the Court.
Mr. Noble believes In rotation of
office and 1 believe that is one of
t ie sc.and principles upon which De
mocracy stands. If one man Is con
tinued In power, Interest In politics
is decreased and the influence and
strength of the party grows less
and less lach year and sooner or
later It will die. For success new
blood must be infused In the party.
Mr. Stevens has been in office twen
ty years. The Democrats of John
ston County have been good to him.
It is for the interest of the party
that we have a change. We need
new men in office. The success of
the party demands it. Give us No
ble.
Mr. Noble has also declared in fa
vor of salaries. Where this plan
has been followed a great amount of
money has been turned Into the coun
ty treasury. I believe that the of
ficers In Johnston County should be
placed on a salary equal to the work
and responsibility that devolves upon
them, and several hundreds of dollars
will each year go to the County treas
ury from the county offices.
The Democratic party in Johnston
County needs strong young men to
carry on the fight and keep the old
county in the Democratic column
where she belongs to always remain
Give us Noble for Clerk, and strong
men for the other offices and we
will carry Johnston County by the
largest Democratic majority of recent
years.
Everybody come to the Convention
and vote for Ntfble.

Ashley Home For the House.
To the Editors:
The nomination in Wake of that
noble and honorable gentleman of the
Did school, and in Durham of its
proud old war-horse of Democracy,'
both gentlemen and Democrats of
the highest type?men of affairs?
to represent their respective coun
ties in the next General Assembly,1
1 take the privilege of suggesting to
the voters of Johnston County a man
for one of our Legislators, a man
equally equipped and qualified as the
gentlemen above referred to. I have
in mind Hon. Ashley Home, of Clay
ton, a business man, a farmer, a bank
er, a mill man, a soldier in time of
war, a general in time of peace; a
man of mature years, broad and va
*ied experience, deep thought and
safer judgment ;a man whose coun-|
iel and judgment would be sought
iy the leaders in the Legislature, and
\ man wUo would co-operate with
Ftatile, Carr, and other Democratic
^aptains to keep the "old ship of
slate" in her true course. I think|
t would be specially fitting to send
3ol. Home to the Legislature of
191.1 to be In company with Battle,
3arr and others in making that ses
sion cf the legislature memorable in
listory.
Johnston ought to follow the lead
>f Wake and Durham, an^ by honor
ng one ot her most honorable and
vorthy so'.s, honor herself and our
jeloved state.

| Edmundson for Register of Deeds.
Mr: Editor:
Of all the gentlemen suggested for
Register of Deeds, all most excellent
; men. tills scribe Is fully convinced
from all the surroundings that Mr.
E. 8. Edmundson Is the surest and
safest to nominate. For with his
nomination victory Is assured from
the start. He Is sound to the core,
competent, courteous to the most
humble, and always has been. he
Is one of the most popular young
men in all this section; If he has
any enemy no whisper of it has ev-j
er come to the ears of the people.
H" will add more votes and add more
strength to the ticket than any oth
er man that has been suggested. The
lest Informed in Pleasant Grove
township, a Republican stronghold,
tell us he will surely, if nominated,
carry the township and add many
votes to the whole ticket; his nomi
nation will create enthusiasm and
bring out the full Democratic strength
in this neck of the county. He is
fully competent to conduct the busi
ness of the office satisfactorily to all.
Give us Mr. Edmundson for Register
of Deeds and there will be no such
word as failure in the coming
election. We believe he is the man
and ask the Democrats to nominate
him on August 3rd.
Respectfully,
F. T. BOOKER.
