Accord- to the way we look at it. Judge Montgomery started the matter and got only what might have been expected when lie stirred Mr. Dixon. But it is not entirely a new thing for a man to get the worst end of a controversy and then try to even by bringing suit for slander. S. C, and Con- cord, N.

Each county's representation in conventions is based on the vote for governor in the county. Lets make the vote for Kitchin in Pitt county so large this as to increase our number of delegates in conventions for the next four years. We wonder where the Depart- of Justice was when one noted Federal criminal from Pitt county, after having been duly convicted, went to Wash- City accompanied by Candidate Taft, in his flying trip through some of the South- Slates last week, insinuated that the people of the South lack intelligence. They are in- enough not to vote for him. Instead of succeed- Taft after eight years of the latter, as suggested by Son-in- law there is more likelihood of Parker succeeding Bryan along about that time. There is no question of elect- the entire Democratic ticket in Pitt county by a handsome majority, but the thing to do is to make the majority a record breaker for the county. When the time comes to vote don't do any scratching. Walk up to the ballot box and put in whole Democratic ticket and show that you are in favor of good government. The Republicans are organ- dubs in different parts of Pitt county. The last one re- ported was organized at u few ago with members. There were several prominent speakers with the Republicans at Fountain Tuesday, the most prominent being W. J. Manning, and W. R. Dixon, postmaster of Farmville.

There is plenty of truth to talk about to make an interesting without either side resorting to falsehoods. No Roosevelt imitators are needed. There would not be so much lard times if people would just make an effort to pay their debts, instead Of seeing how they can put off doing so. You are going to hear thing like Pitt county giving a big Democratic majority on the 3rd of November. Chairman Mack the light is won, but we hope the boys will not put up their guns until the night of Nov. 3rd. A FEARFUL ARRAIGNMENT. Mr. Bryan and others have sought to set the President of the States in the proper light before the public in to his hypocrisy, double- and course violation of the proprieties of his great office, but this has not been done so as by the Republican New York Sun. A copy of this editorial from that paper, every word of it justified by the facts, should be in the hands of every voter in the country, and to give circulation and emphasis to it The Observer is printing it con- royal command that ex- gentleman and trust- worthy custodian. Mr. George R. Sheldon, the treasurer of the Republican national committee, has visited White House to sit as Saul at the feet of lie and learn from an eminently man how best to raise the sinews of war.

You must have forgotten that the good people of Pitt county are now, and have always been, opposed to such false re- ports as you are spreading over this good county. You must sit up and take notice that the Democrats are going to correct these falsehoods. We would pity you if we thought such re- ports were due to ignorance.

He got a cluck to and went home contented with the sale, though he did closely examine the sales statement given him with the check. On Monday Mr. Wingate brought more tobacco to the Star, and Mr. the auditor, asked if he had his sales statement of two weeks ago with him, as a mistake had been made la the settlement which the company wanted to Mr. Win- gate did not have the statement with him but said he had it among his papers at home and could bring it today.
