GREENVILLE, PITT COUNTY. NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY. AUG. 1908
NUMBER
J A. GARDNER NOT A CANDIDATE.
He Heartily Endorses the Present
Board.
Editor
Some of m friends, without
my consent and approval, have
proposed my name as a candidate
for a member cf the board of
county commissioners, and while
I appreciate tho confidence thus
expressed by them in me, I can-
not, under any circumstances,
and would not under the present
circumstances, be a candidate.
It has always been customary
to re-nominate of com-
missioners for the second term,
and I think this board, equally
as much, if not more, entitled to
tho than any
board we have had for a long
time-
The present board of county
commissioners have made more
improvements and started mere
new permanent public improve-
that will be for the Rood
of the people of Pitt county, than
any hoard recollection, and
I understand that they have
ready made several contracts for
public improvements that cannot
be completed during term
of office, I think it would be
both and unwise not to
re-nominate the present board of
commissioners, although the
r men mentioned as
dates are good and competent
men.
It would appear to me to be
almost an impeachment and p.
reflection upon the good and
faithful representatives we now
upon the board of
not to re-nominate and
re elect them, and I hope that
my friends and the Democrats, of
the county think
about the matter and not do
these good men an apparent in-
justice.
Many dams, bridges and roads
in the county have already been
built, and many improved, and
if this board permitted an-
other i, I believe-the people
of the county will realize that
thy have taken good and rapid
for in the
direction. Nothing, in my
opinion, is more important today
to Pitt county than the improve-
along the lines already
begun by tho present board of
commissioners,
J. A. Gardner.

A Card.
Someone has been persistently
circulating a report to the effect
that I am a candidate for sheriff
in the interest of the present
incumbent, Sheriff L. W. Tucker,
under I have acted as a
deputy for four years. I wish
to just emphatically deny this
report, and to say t. the public
that there is not one atom of
truth in it; and to say that I am
a candidate in my own interest,
and not in the interest of any
other person. I have no
to make of the conduct of
the under the
of Sheriff Tucker, except to
say that the same has been clean
and capable so far as it was in
the power of both and
myself to make it, but I believe
in rotation in office, and in the
time honored custom of electing
a sheriff of this county for only
two terms, four years;
and as Sheriff Tucker has enjoy
ed and held this office for four
years, I feel as a life long Demo
that I have the to
aspire to this position, subject
always, of course, to the action
of the Democratic primary.
I desire to thank my friends
for their many offers of support
for this office, and will
the support any and all
my friends and fellow Democrats
of the county. If nominated
and elected to this office, I
promise the public a clean
administration of the same, and
as capable and efficient discharge
of the duties of the office as I
may be capable of.

Card From Mr. King.
Some person or persons, have
been ignorantly or otherwise per-
circulating a false state-
to the effect that I have
been receiving or charging the
county of Pitt the sum of five
dollars per day for my services
in supervising as best I can the
construction of the new bridge
across Tar river at Greenville.
There is not one word of truth in
I this report. I have never re-
or charged one cent, for
i any services I may have render-
ed the in any respect to
the supervision of the
of said bridge, never had
any idea of so doing and will not
receive one cent for said
I make this statement in
that all the people of the
county may know that the re-
port has not the slightest
in fact.

Democrats Lets Send J. F. Stokes to
Legislature.
We the undersigned citizens of
the county of Pitt respectfully
ask the Democratic party to
nominate for house of
Mr. J. F. Stokes, of
Greenville, and our reason for
doing same is that his standing,
character, fitness and ability is
second to none in the race for the
nomination. He is
alive to tho questions at issue,
and in touch with the needs of
the whole people besides being
able to cope with any problem
effecting county State. His ed-
qualifications
passed by few, if any, in the
county. As a tireless worker
and able debater he can hold his
own anywhere and everywhere
he meets the enemy. Moreover
there is in him those elements
that tend to constructive states-
thing to be anxious-
sought after at this time.
Standing squarely and firmly on
the true principles of Democracy,
and always with a keen
of eternal of things,
he will ever dare to stand for
right as against wrong, and, if
nominated, will carry in
a manner befitting a true
of the people of Pitt.
Where is the man more accept-
able at this time Gentlemen,
lets make his nomination
and a victory proper will
be ours in November.

Entered second matter Jan. 1907 at the at Greenville. N
C, Congress of March
in to
GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY AUG. 1908.
One thing Pitt county can con-
herself upon is the
cleanness of the county cam-
up to this time. Every
candidate is doing everything
he can honorably to advance his
own cause, but so far we do not
recall hearing one ill of
another.
FARMERS DO NOT RAISE
ENOUGH CORN.
The item in columns a
few days ago in effect that far-
were giving too much at-
to the so-called money
crops to the neglect of the more
important food crops, led one of
the urged supply merchant in
the county to remark that his
bills for purchases of Western
corn to sell again to the
of Pitt county had been much
larger this year that his bills for
purchases of meat. He said it
was a sad commentary on
farming that so much
money is sent out of the county
fur corn, and the farmers
never be prosperous so
long as they followed this con-
It impoverish any
county that continually buys its
food supplies instead of raising
them at home.
This is indeed true. If the
total amount of money annually
sent of Pitt county for corn
could be named the figures
would be amazing. And this,
too, in one of the beat corn pro-
counties in the Slate.
There are enough swamp lands
in Pitt county, if properly drain-
ed, to grow sufficient corn to
feed the people of North
Una. But instead of raising
corn to sell, the county is -pend-
a large part of what is made
on other crops for corn grown
elsewhere.
A- long as this continues our
farmers be poor, and they
should set about at once to
change this They
should begin now taking close
observation f fields

i till
; ; ;. And when liar-
v,. ; . . . i
be gathered to them-
wives put aside r planting
next spring. Let your motto
; r lie as much
com as Go about
this intelligently by -electing
the be.-i g ed, planting on your
best laud and cultivating the
crop thoroughly. The county
mu-t raise more corn.
In the State gubernatorial
campaign there were some who
charged that if one candidate
was nominated his
would be directed by
than himself. But what do
you think about the presidency
if Taft is elected He will not
know how to send a message to
congress or to sign a bill without
asking Roosevelt.
Mr. Bryan is sticking to

strongly emphasizes what he

also sticking his text,

There may be many things you
can with propriety do at the
primary, next Saturday, in work-
for your choice of the
dates. But one tiling we would
advise you not to do, is to lose
your head and say or do some
thing the aftereffects of which
will be injurious to the party.
There will be enough
dates left in the primary run-
to form a good sized cam-
club to work for the
winners. Of course they will
take defeat gracefully and go
to work for the nominees.
Rocking the boat or rocking
the train are two entirely differ-
things, but the fellow
guilty of doing either ought to
be sent to do duty on the rock
pile.
In the way of convenient ex-
and low priced trips the
railroads have this season been
doing the handsome thing by
the people of this section.
Bryan may not do much for
that trick mule, but what be
will do for the G. O. P. elephant
will be worth talking the
morning after the election.
The Republicans are now
toward their state con-
at to put up
a ticket for the Democrats to
knock down.
Some of them well make
up their mind not to take it too
hard if they are defeated. The
average to get there is only
about one in four.

the management of county

that Bryan's chances of
election grow brighter every
day.

pounds, while the same
date of last year there were
pounds.
So it will be seen that for the

the Bales have been over a
million pounds more than the

Editor
We, the undersigned Demo-
v and citizens of Pitt
county, request a small amount
of space in your paper, to call
the attention of the Democrats
of the to a few of the
many reasons why the present
board of county commissioners
should be re-nominated at the
Democratic primaries, to be held
on August 29th. 1908.
1st The present board of
county commissioners were
elected at the last general
in November, 1906, and con-
will have served the
county for only one term or two
years at the expiration
of their present term of office,
and as it has been the almost
broken custom of the Democratic
party to re-nominate and elect,
not only the of county
commissioners, but all other
public officers, tor at least two
terms, which custom is, in
our opinion, a wise and just one,
especially for county commission-
who serve th public
without pay, and generally
without the plaudits of the
of the county, regardless of
how well they may have served
them, and we can see no reason
now to break the custom of our
party, which is of such long
standing.
2nd. The present board has
inaugurated and begun the con-
of a great many new
and permanent public improve-
in the county, and several
contracts that cannot
possibly be completed during
their term of office, such as the
completion the steel bridges at
Greenville and Grifton. and it
would be, indeed, awkward to
put in a new board to see to the
carrying out of contracts made
by the present board, as well as
unjust, both to the present board
and to any new board. The pres
board should be allowed an-
other term at least, in which to
complete the improvements
ready begun, so that the same

thought he was joking.
Mr. spent Tues-

evening to his home. He board-
ed with Mack Davis and slept in
a one room house between the
homes of Mr. Davis and
Mr. He retired
between and o'clock

making certain that the young
man was dead, the coroner was

Report from Tarboro this

in the river reached a stand there
last night and would soon begin
falling. Ordinarily the water
stops rising at Greenville about
twenty-four hours after it
reaches a stand in Tarboro, but
with the continued rain of last
night and today it is hard to tell
when it will stop rising. The
rise here last night was inches,
putting the stage this morning
within two feet of the high water
record. Water has reached the
top of the dam beyond the bridge,
and it has been necessary to haul
dirt on it today to keep the dam
from washing in two. Much of
a rise tonight would be a disaster
