THE RIGHT MEN FOR THE RIGHT PLACES. Editor Times-Visitor: In your yesterday's edition I saw a comment under the heading of "A Sug gestion," in relation to "some one" sug gesting "Mr. B. R. Lacy for Mayor, and Mr. W. C. McMackin for superintend ent of county roads," and stating that "those gentlemen held posftions under the last Democrafic administration." etc. Mr. C. R. Lee. the author of the ar ticle states that "new men should be given a chance to hold the office," e:i?. That may be so in regard, to some of fices, but in the cases Of Messrs. Lacy and McMackin, the circumstances are of a different nature. Mr. Lacy has never been nominated to any elective office, nor has he been voted for by the people for any fcffice. He was appointed to the office of "Bu reau of Labor Statistics," and has held no other office; although, in the last presidential campaign the writer of this arti.de hear him make "the speech" at Wilmington to the largest assemblage of workingmen and others that was ad dressed in saiti city. Mr. La.cy represents the mechanics, and workingmen, and it would be a compliment to the mass of voters to nominate such a worthy and efficient gentleman for Mayor of the city of Ral eigh. Apprbpos the nomination of Mr. Mc Mackin there is no man in the State who is the superior, if the equal, of that gentleman as superintendent of roads, as he has proved in the past, and as he was turned out of office by the success of the Populist party, . he should be reinstated by the accession of the Democratic party to power. The ! county macadamized roads, are in a fearful condlt'ion, and his reinstatement to his former position cannot take place too soon. A MECHANIC TAX . PAYER. WILL RETURN HOME. It is learned that Lieutenant B. C. Woodall, of Company I, has resigned his commission and will return to Dur ham about the first of December and take charge of his harness hop.

She has an unusually rich alto. Misses Lizzie C. Hill and Mattie Por ter were charming "May Flower Buds." Mr. T. J. Anderson, general passen ger Agent of the S. A. L., acted the part of John Aldren. As the blushing bashful wooer of "Priscilla" Mr. An derson was a success, and received the hearty congratulations of his hosts of friends. Mr. Geo. McDermott made a splendid hit. He was repeatedly encored, and at each response the audience went wild with applause. Among the. good things he sang were the following: In the papers of late I read that the North State Was having a political fight. And that she was striving to free Herself from rulers not while. Now election is o'er and of course some feel sore. Rut the Old North State her honors e deemed, And though descendants of Ham Tried to rule the land. They will never do so now.

Chairman McDondla Makes a Timely Suggestion to the Public. Editor of the Times-Visitor I notice that citizens inform you that a certain light on a certain street has not been lighted for several days. This is to in form citizens that if they will inform me of such matters that they shall have prompt attention. I take it that you are too busy attending to your busi ness affairs to give it your personal attention. All lights not burning of which I have been informed, have been put in order and if not will be at once. All citizens are requested to light any gaslight (street light) that may not have been lighted by the boys who are employed by the Gas Company for this purpose. Don't wait for them to come around, if they are too late, as the city pays for every gas light from dusk to dawn. I am confident that all citizens who are interested in having light will turn on the light whenthey see it out, and will not consider it any trouble to strike a match and light the lamp. I will deem it a favor for any citizen to drop me a card as to any failure of any gas light to burn. Very respectfully, c. c. Mcdonald, Chairman Light Committee. , GOOD ROADS. r fr. Editor I see a "Suggestion" of fered in your issue of yesterday. Now let me suggest a thing or two. Every body knows that Raleigh township has paid for the education and experience of Mr. McMackin in road matters, and and every one knows how satisfactory to all he permanently improved the roads and bridges, and how he managed tl:u convicts, and we all know that he tan take right hold of the roads and again put them in proper Tix without a hitch. Ninety-live per cent of the voters ex pect him put hack, and that was one of the great issues ,n our recent com paign. I hear Republicans expressing their wishes in his behalf. ITe is the only man that will give universal satisfac tion. A LIFE LONG DEMOCRAT.
