The educated farmer (one who ' read* and put into practice what he learns) is the one whose crops ex cite the admiration of the passerby. I The letter reads: 1 Messrs. Editors: Returning last '■ Monday from my appointment at ' Hamilton, I noticed a field of excel- ' lent corn on Mr. J. A. Mizell's farm thfee mile« from Willlamston. It promises to make eight or ten bar ' rels per acre. 1 I knew Mr. Mizell to be a close 1 reader of The Progressive Farmer 1 and Gazette, and on reaching town ' I went to his store aud said to him, "You have a fine'field of corn out ( at the farm., Among the best corn I've seen." . * He said, "That corn was make ' by direction of The Progressive Farmer and Gazette; the prepara-. * tion of (he land, the planting and i cultivation, were all done according i to The Progressive Farmer and *] Gazette's formula."

Saunders, Secretary. 1 A Democrat's Endorsement Mr. Editor:— Please allow ipe space in your paper to express my gratitude at the announcement of the candidacy of Harmon T Roberson, Jr , for the office of Sheriff. He is com tnonlv known as Thad Roberson, and his friends have wanted to use bis name for the last Tour years but he has refused until this week. Mr. Roberson has always been a Democrat. He has served on the Board of Elections for his township for twelve' years, and ha* been a member of the County Committee for the same time. He loves the principles of Democracy and is regarded as one of tjre strong est advocates of the party. He has never been too busy to give his time to the cause of the party, neither has he been too stingy to open his purse, if conditions de manded tt. He was one of the principal factors in taking the county out of the hands of "the fusion party and has ever since been loyal to the cause, supporting the ticket nominated, and ha*.been without contradiction, the cause of township being the banner township of The county. Now Mr. Editor, through your medium I want to appeal to the voters of Martin County for their support. I have not a word to say against the present Incumbent: he has made a good sheriff, aud is courteous and clever, and will, if nominated and elected, remain the same. But the time has come and now is, when for the safety of the ]party and gentanl satisT^ction of the people, we should have a chauge in the office of sheriff. Have you ever thought how few sheriffs we have had since the Civil War? We following an antiquated cus tom, a custom that can be traced back to Pharoah of Egypt. In those days when a man got in office he remained there until death. And under our past custom, when we put a man in office he remains there until removed by death or is pulled out by the hair of the head v Wake up voter, wake up and re member that we are free-born and claim to be intelligent. We have civic virtue and we mean to shake off ancient customs; customs that debar overselves and our sons from aspiring to any office of trust. We have a mother who would be pleased to know that her infant son could have a chance of becom ing sheriff of his county, but, 10, under our present system she can not entertain that hope. Once in the history of our Nation George Washington could have been-dictator, but he said "No." He knew that for the safety of the Nation a change would be expedi ent, Therefore, I appeal to each and every voter of Martiu County to go to Williamston 011 the 15th of September and nominate Mr. Rob erson for sheriff; thereby they will shake off that foreign costoui that has debarred our sons from aspir ing to public office. Help its to nominate Mr. Rober son, a man who believes in the Democratic party aud that the peo ple of Martin County are, able to dictate for themselves. 1 Respectfully yours, A Democrat.
