two nrticloa in your issua of Aug
19th, one over tho signature ot
Member, and one ov«r the signa
ture nf Votor, to which articles 1
ask spm e to reply. The writer in
tended no reflection ou any citizen
who participated in the conven
tion, tliat “nominated” It. A. Eakes
as a candidate for the Senate, but
reiterates was what stated in the
article signed “Forsyth."
I propose now to review tho
manner of getting up the primaries
Unit sent delegates to the conven
tion of August fust.
In the fiist place, a brother-in-
law ot Mr, Knifes was chairman of
the executive committee of Forsyth
county, and that chairman selected
a roan from the Camming district
as chairman of Big Greek district,
one of'.he most populous districts
in ihe county, and sent him down
to munipulato the prirnar/, who
went and was invited Irora the
chair by the citizens, 'they elec
ted their own chairman, and sent u
majority of nuti-Eakes delegates,
There were three other districts in
the county, to-wit: Barkers, dies-
tatee and Rolands, which wore rep
resented J>y self-constituted dele
gates. I was informed of this by
a reliable gentleman, and by some
of the delegates themselves. Tho
primary in Bells district was com
posed of eleven men and of a vo
ting population of over one hun
dred, which fuot I get from flic
chairman of -the, meirttag. The
Eakes men in the Gumming dis
trict selected a ticket for delegates
composed of men supposed to be
personally more pnpuliu’ than any
men in the district, and two of
that number wore one manager
and one teller in said election, in
which they were candidates, coil-
trul y to all law and precideut, and
the great astonishment of the oi i-
/.ons And when tho convention
of August tlm first, assembled,
there were thirty-six delegates
present, instead of‘‘forty-five,” and
twenty-seven participated in the
“nomination” of R. A. Hakes. Now
I leave it to a candid public to
judge, whether tliero were mani
pulation er not, or whether out of
a voting population of nearly t" F o
thousand, the voico of Forsyth
county was fairly represented in
that convention. In tho former
article, the writer did not propose
to antagonise Mr. Eakes, but since
his anonymous defenders have
seen fit to indulge in personalities,
I propose to eulighteu those un
acquainted. For whom are they
asked to cast their sulfrago? Since
Mr. Eakes first became ambitious

Would bleak like a nubble,

Did not we rulieiii's i it,
And tenderly nurse it,
And give it a pc-ninneni place in the hart.

Were we not unwilling to lurnisli tho

So radly intruding
And quietly brooding,

Of look* that are beaming.
Whether one's wealthy or whether one's,

Eyes bright ns a berry,
Cheek* red us a cherry,
The groan and ihe curse of the heartache
can euro.
Resolved, to be merry,
And worry to ferry
Acros3 the fumed waters that bid us lor-

And no longer te uful,
But happy and cheerful,
We feel life has much that’s worth living
for yet.
