If, by holding primaries on. the
day of election) the State ;of North
Carolina shouhl elect h benator by
popular .vote, be it Ransom or Jarvis
what would be the advantage to the
emoeratic party, if,' by the " experi
ence the legislature is lost? Wo have
enough upon us now to defend and
We believe it'is of moro importance
to as to'liold-hat which we. have
hati to win anything else. ;
Let' the Democratic party .seek to
distroy all questions that may canso
dissension within its ranks. If ,the
egislature remains Democratic, un
doubtedly a Democrat Senator v will
be elected, so let us discard' all ill
eelings upon such" questions and
trive to hold the State where she is,
that, as "East", puts. it:"The pure,
white folds of the democratic ban
ner may wave in triumph over North
Carolina.'' , ' ;
Is refering to the various conven
tions, from State to county, ; tne
North Carolinian, of Raleigh,, justly
and truthfully says ...
"The Stato Democratic Conven
tion will be held in Raleigh on Aug
ust 8th. That . body will represent,
or should represent the: Democracy
of North Carolina. -
In order that it may do . so the
delegatcs'shonld be chosen by all the
voters of the party, and iu tho fair
est manner possible. . Let , the mass
of the people speak ; as a rule they
are' right.
The best method of expressing the
will of the Democratic masses is the
primary, it is a. mass meeting oi
the people a place where they may
meet without fear or restraint, par
ticipate in the proceedings and have
a chance to register their will. Every
man should have the' fairest and
ullest opportunity to declaro hirf
choice of candidates fqrthe vaprous
offices ..in thegfUbf the people
There ought to be no snap judgment
and no smart tricks. If the, party.
machinery falls .into tho hands of
persons who resort to sharp practice
and trickery the masses of the peo
ple will lose respect for it and party
discipline will be at an end. The
candidate in whose interest such
tactics are employed-will eventually
lose more than. he' can possibly gain.
Democracy means fair play. The
people demand that and nothing
more.
The primary is tho political organ i
zation nearest the people and they
should take an interest in it. The
man who does not attend the prima
ry has no ' right to complain if his
candidate does not receive the nomi
nation, and the man who does attend
is in honor bound to stand by the
action of the maj'ority.
If the people will take a proper
interest in the primary and send
the right kind of 'men to the con
ventions the officers,, legislators anc"
congressmen who are elected wil
take an interest in the affairs of the
people." ;. -
FOR CLERK OF THE SUPERIOR
COURT. . .
At the earnest request of my
friends, and after due consideration,
I take this method of announcing
myself a candidate for tho office of
Superior Court Clerk of Washington
county.
I am aware that the offices of the
County, State and Nation belong to
the people and not to individuals,
and that I, as tin American citizen
have a right to ask for an office, but,
if for any reason the people' "of my
county think I am not entitled to
share the honors of office, and iu op
en convention a maj'ority say I am not
the preference, of . the people of my
party, I shall.humbly submit to the
decision of that convention, and re
main a Democrat still: If, however,
.should be honorfed with tho nomi
nafionthe .party may rest assured
that I shall endeavor to be elected,
and if elected, to faithfully discharge
all tho duties of. tho office. '

DOES NOT FAVOR. PRIMARIES
. V JVirMQCTfl, N. C, JniylO.
Beuator Jarvis getorally is ft safe aud
wist political leader, but ou the question
of Senatorial : primaries be tfts allowed
vaulling Ambition' to overleap itself
It in uo use to diHgulse the fact that the
Deinocratjo party will jbnve a severe etrug.
g!e to maintain Us supfemaoy iu this State,
and nothing which may cause -strife within
the party.ranks and necessarily endanger
its success . should be aoceplod,. though
coming from so emineut a source.
The recent excitiua primftriea in thw
States of Alabama and Georgia over 'the
grubernatorial coutest ' has caused much
bitter Dess and bad blood iu tie party iu
those States, aud I fear has1 imperiled Col.'
OateH." eluelion and-will cause Atkintoa to
lone thousand of Democrat io votea in
Georgia. - If such Las been the ' result of
primaries in those 6Utes we waut uo repeti
tion of them here to weaken and divide a
united Democracy..
The idea suggested that Senatorial pri
maries should be on election day will not
do, for reasons apparent to every practical
politician who wilt think lor a siouient,
Irjuch a course would be disastrous if it did
not end in the defeat of thi legislature and
State tickets. ' . ......
In tat opinion Senatorial primaries might
not decide the will of a inujarity of the
people, as one candidate might carry several
counties by a large m jority which would
seeui to him a majority of tne votes ot uie
State, while the other might carry a majori
ty of counties and secure the legislature,
and by that moans a minority candidate
would be elected to the benate.
'1 he true policy of the party is to delegate
everythina to the tear, which may bring
dissension until the - victory is won. We
say, chargo, Kansont, charge ; ou. Jarvis,
on and wneu ty your uuiisa en oris tue
Dure, white folds of the Democrat lo banner
shall wave in triumph over North Carolioa,
then let the legislature voice the will ot the
people, and say who shall he beuator,

Died in Darden's, N. C, July 5th 1894,
little Alwio Bertram Uoburu, aged 1. year
and 4l6mh9 ; Son of Willie and Nannie
Coburn,' .
Bertie, as he was called, had been suffer
mg for two montus. irom teeming, and
kept growing thinner and ..weaker every
day,' and on TbnrttUy morning wc saw
that bis little life was rapidly ebbing away,
aud he seemed to be suffering the most
excruciating pain. Still we hoped fur a
favorable change in the symptoms,' but our
hopes were torn aud scattered. The little
pulse were quick and hard, the lips parch
ed and dry, and the little fingers worked
convulsively, then we knew that Bertie
dear, would soon leave us to joiu the throng
of the heavenly band, and sing around tho
throne ol the Moet High.
At 11 o'clock the dark messenger of
death came aud spread its chilly mantle
around the form of their only child aed
bore his fluttering spirit home to Hiin who
gave it.
There was joy in heaven; harps were strung,
Aud raelodr rose harmonious free
Ah swiftly in chorus the Seraph sung,
Welcome sweet Bertie,, there's room for
thee.
But.
Sad were onr hearts and full of pain.
And tears fell from our eyes like rain,
"When iu a wliinper soft, they said,
"Alas, our Bertia dear, is dead
And gone to dwell above."
There was quite a concourse of people
assembled around the grave aud much
heartfelt sympathy extended to the be.
reaved parents. They must have comfort
in the thought "It is well with te child,"
and that it is a bright treasure laid up in a
better world, and tho gate through which
it has pa9ned lo peace Rnd joy unspeakable
