SENATOR WAKEFIELD.
A most unusual ,unl unique eon
dition, in this year of strange
ixlitical conditions confronts the
people of this the 114 th senatori
al district. The democrats have
v i rt u a I 1 v nominated Mr.
Lawrence Wakefield of Lenoir j
for State Senator while the re-1
publicans last Saturday nominat
ed Ins brother. Mr E. F. Wake
field, as ln opponent for the
same Hsitun. This is a singular
condition, one that would not
occur once in a great number of
political campaigns. Some years
ago a similar thing happened m
Tennessee, when the Taylor

election In the present ease the
COIltest Will be close, as tile (lis
trict is very close, electing at
the last election a democrat and
a republican. It is entirely Kts
sible for both the Waketield men
to be elected and The News
would wish it so, for the writer
knows both these men to be
high toned gentlemen, honora
ble and upright in their dealings
with their fellow men and amply
able to represent the people of
this part of the state in the up
ht branch of the State Legisla
til re. Their differences are sim
ply those like other able men,
they do not see things politically
in the same light, from the same
viewpoint and they therefore
differ widely in their political
opinions, honestly and conscien
tiously. We predict that they
will make a high tone and dig

Mr. J. G. Hall, of Lenoir,
was here week before last, It
looked natural to bim, Ben
Seagle and A. Mcintosh stand
ing on the street talking togeth
er. For years they were neigh
bors and friends, always work
ing together for Hickory.
Mr. Hall did more for Hickory
than any other one man. In its
early history, he led in every
good word and work for Hickory.
He was liberal with his means.
The Piedmont sho4s stand as a
monument to him, more than to
any two men Lenoir College
had no better friend than he.
He put in that property at least
SoOOO cash.
So Mr. Hall will ever have a
warm place in the just hearts of
Hickory. We are always glad
to see him come and wish he
could tind it to his interest to
spoml i)ls last days where he
.spent his best days, not spend-
ing them for himself, but for all
who now enjoy and glory in
Hickorv. as an ideal Home ('it v.
