A Letter From Mr. Alex Wiggs. , fellow Democrats: For some months prior to the 3rd ii inst., the most of us have been won- a dering who would be nominated for f the various county offices, each work- s Ing for his man. That is all settle!. ?i Now it seems to me our thoughts t and efforts should be turned not on- a jv that we elect them but I to see how large we can ' make the majority. We should t not consider that they have held the J office for four or twenty years any t longer, but ask ourselves the question, f have they discharged their duty and t do we believe they will for the next ' two or four years? And again did ( not the majority say by their action ( they thought they would, and should 1 oot the majority rule? Again in 1 ihe convention we had to decide be- ' tween two or more Democrats. Now 1 we have to decide between a Demo- 1 crat and a Republican. Of course the ' decision is already made in favor of I the Democrats. Well, what about 1 Uncle Bill? Why he has held .the ' office twenty years. Yes, but had 1 j-ou npt rather risk him for four (' rrore years than to risk a Republi- 1 can you have not tried? So when ' you go in the clerk's office you can hear Uncle Bill say, (by the time I you enter the door) "Alex, Jim or i John, (as the case may be) howdy-, ( what can I do for you?" And when he has explained any part of law or giv en any advice and you ask his charge, hear him say, "nothing, you are perfectly welcome." As to Sam T? you all know he can be in more places, shake hands with more people,! and turn off more business in an hour than any Republican that will be nominated. Of course we will elect him. Nowell, what of him? Why he's such a Jovial, good-humor ed fellow, he is always smiling and ready to greet you with a hearty hand shake. As to Standi, no one that has seen him and heard the recommendation given him by the leading men of his neighborhood (?Quid turn him -down. Though I have never seen him but once to know' him, 1 could not think of | turning him down, but can assure him and his friends that I can and shall | vote and work for him with as much 1 or more freedom than any one that I is nominated and would ask the voters of the county to enable him ' find his friends to say at the close Of the election what myself and friends could say six years ago, that . Jie led the county ticket. As to the County Commissioners, any one that knows anything of the financial condition of the county. could not afford to turn them down. ' they must be elected. In conclusion I wish to say I entertain no unpleas ant feeling toward any one for vot-1 tig for Mr. Standi In the convention, I &nd would ask my friends to not be i satisfied with going to the election1 tind voting for him yourself but see I to it that your neighbor goes and I votes, not only for him, but for the ' pi hers also.

I desire to inform my friends and former customers that I am no long-1 er connected with any warehouse in ' Smithfield or any other market. Ear-1 ly in the season I thought that I saw that the present crop would be : short and that it was impractical for ' me to continue in the warehouse bu-! siness. Later developments have confirmed me in this opinion. But I cannot retire without thanking I my friends for past patronage and assuring them that I have fully ap preciated what they have done for me. I wish to say to my friends that Smithfield is the market, even i if I am not connected with it, and I that the interests of the farmers will be safe in the hands of its warehousemen. Let me say to you in conclusion, the smithfield market I is O. K.. its warehousemen are O. K., | and it is to your interest to give it j your trade. Let us have one market I only in the county and you will al ways have a good one. Very respectfully, J. W. JONES. Smithfield, N. C. ANTIOCH NEWS.

I A Plea For Education. i My purpose Is to try aud place 1 nore proof before undecided parents ' Uat the farm boy deserves ai d is eu :itled to a thorough education. Many fathers and mothers would ike to see their children educated jut will say: "I did not go to high schools or colleges and I have got j klong all right." Did you ever stop .0 think that your boy is going to live In a different age from what { rou have lived in? Did you have to compete with men of education | the way your son will? Are you get ting on as well now as you did when you first started out in life or have times got a little ahead of you? If the times have gotten ahead of you where will you son be when he is your age if you start him off In your track? When you were a boy there were no self-binders, mowers, rakes, culti- j vators, corn binders, corn planters,' mnaure spreaders, etc. Do you use any of these, or do you say that be-1 cause they were not used when you were a boy they are useless? I venture to say that this W not the case and that you have practi cally all tbi> machines In the above list, I? you use those you admit tljeir superiority over all methods. Thus you believe iu progress. If you believe in progress, then give your son a chance for an education, 1 for progress has also been made In1 this line. Your father did not need these modern machines to do his' work. You did Bdt heed such a thor ough education, for in your time the mass of the people was not highly educated. Your son requires a thor ough education just the same as you require modern machinery; for he will have educated people to deal with during his life time. You need not be discouraged for the leading men of our country were raised on j the farm. You give your boy a square deal and he will make a man ! in the days to come. Every boy is entitled to all the ! education possible; first, because he Is living in an educational age, | and again, because every farmer is , paying taxes to support large in- J stitutions of learning and he is, losing if he does not get some of this back by letting his son enjoy the privileges offered by these in stitutions. Therefore religion, morality and i knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encourag ed.'' JOSEPH E. McLAMB.
