Ashley Homo, a promi nent candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, lias been in town a day or so this week shaking hands with his friends and making new acquaintances. He met many of our people and made a favorable impression on all he met. He is a man of plain practical business sense and makes no claims to being a brilliant poli tician. He is quiety going over the state and meeting the people and asking for the nomination for Governor, assuring all, that if he is the choice of his party, he will give the state a quiet business like administration of its affairs, as far as the duties of Governor are con cerned. Mr. Home came home from the war nearly barefooted and went to work cutting cord wood at 50 cents per day and now he is one of the largest taxpayers in the state. He farms extensive ly, running 60 to 70 plows and is largely interested in merchandising manufacturing and banking. In fact, he is one of the most success ful business men of the state. In addition to this, he is a man of un questioned character, being es teemed most by those who know him best. These things being true, the people of North Carolina have an opportunity of securing an excep tional executive at a timo when every one realizes the need of just such an administration as Mr. Home will give.

There are two widely differing offences against the law and society that ought to be hit with the full penalty of the law every time, but which the law, by a speak -easy course, is really helping to make more pernicious in this county. One is the habit of carrying con cealed weapons. Every time a court of justice lets off a pistol toter With less that the full penalty it encourages some other law-breaker to stick a weapon in his pocket, ready to shoot down somebody on the first excuse. The other offence is embezzle ment. When a man steals money that has been intrusted to him, it is too common in this section of the country to let him slip out of it if the amount of the defalcation can be squeezed out Of his relatives or friends. There are doubtless few iowns in this section of the South, And lor aught we know, slsewbere, fpac nave not naa one or more cases like this. If every embezzler And defaulter were made to suffer for bis misdeeds, instead of letting the thing be hushed up, there would soon be a slacking up in the painful frequency of such misdeeds, low many such cases does every body know that have never been carried to a court of jus tied ,Judgca and grand juries and so licitors need to look after these two daises."
