Beware of False Promises
*
The G. O. P. “Grand Old Pro
ves” party continues to make its
promises. It seeks to secure votes
for another election by false pre
tenses. The Republican party two
years ago PROMISED farm relief
and general prosperity. All these pro
jr; ,es have been broken. Now, they
promise that if elected that they
w it: reduce taxes in Chatham County.
That promise, like that for farm
relief and prosperity, would be
broken too.
The local Republican party is
seeking to secure offices of Chat
ham County this coming election by
false colors:
Te Republican politicana tell from
the stump, so it is reported, that the
financial condition of Chatham
County is in a terrifble condition.
They know this is not true.
The total bonded indebtedness of
Chatham County today is $1,069,-
000.00 of which $275,000.00 are
Township road bonds issued by a
vote of the citizens of the res
pective Townships for building roads;
.$50,000.00 for the building and
furnishing of the County Home, and
all of the balance for road con
struction throughout Chatham Coun
ty. It is reported that the Republi
can spellbinders are saying that
this bonded indebtedness is for cur
rent running expenses, which state
ments are false, and they know it
is false, or else by investigation they
expanded in the construction of
would know the same to be false.
Every penny of this money has been
permanent improvements in this
County, and today we have 1250
miles of improved County Highways,
not including the marvelous State
highway system of this County.
Chatham County maintains its high
way system better, and at less cost
per mile, than any county in North
arolina that is under a Republi
can administration. The Republican
Spellbinders are challenged to re
fute this statement.
A former Republican Sheriff of
Chatham County who is now on the
pay-roll of the Hoover Prosperity
Administration, is telling from the
stump that the total amount of
taxes collected in Chatham County
while he was in office in 1909 was
less than fifty thousand dollars—
admitted. But when he was sheriff
of Chatham County we did not have
a highway in the county, just mud
trails called roads. Surely the peo
ple remember those conditions. Then,
we did not have a “County Home”—
just a “Poor House”, which was
a disgrace upon the Christian mor
al citizenship of Chatham County.
Then, the people of Chatham County
knew nothing •of “Mothers Aid”.
Then, the selfsane Sheriff of Chat
ham County sat in his office with
his shoes shined while the liquor
dripped from the poisonous coils
of illicit distilleries in various sec
tions of Chatham County. Then,
Chatham County furnished four
month, one-teacher schools, today—
you know.
es, Chatham County has a bond
ed indebtedness of a million dol
ors- It has had value received. This
money has been spent for perman
ent improvements. Mr. Republican
Spellbinder, you know that not one
penny of this money has been used
for current running expenses. We
nave sinking fund in the treasurer
of $83,363.00. If the Republican
Spellbinder have been making these
statements which we hope that they
have not, but which they are re
ported to have made, they are not
only untrue, but they reflect upon
the personal integrity of the Com
missioners who have had charge of
the expenditure of these funds over
a period of the past ten years, to
wit: C. B. Fitts, W. H. Ferguson,
C. D. Moore, J. D. Willett, E. E.
Wilson, S. S. Edwards, A. T. Ward,
J. W. Griffin, R. J. Johnson and
W. T. Brooks.
Now about tax reduction: In
1928 the County tax rate was
$1.37 per hundred, in 1929 the
Democratic administration of Chat
ham County reduced same to $1.22.
Now, look at your tax receipts and
varify this statement. The Republi
can Spellbinders are as silent on this
as they are on Hoover Prosperity.
Eor this $1.22 levied by Chatham
County we have a good six month
school system, not perfect, but a
great improvement over former
years, and upon which we hope to
make further improvements with
out increasing taxation, a wonder
ful road system—think back to the
road system of ten years ago, a
modern “County Home” for the care
of our unfortunate for which the
Christian moral citizens of Chatham
County we -may take pride. (The
Republican Spellbinders know that
in these times of Hoover Prosperity
this County Home is needed, anc
s its inmates have increased 1 25%
i since Hoover made the statement
• that County Homes would be abolish
► ed under his administration—woe
; unto the hypocrites.) For this same
- tax we operate a County govern
r ment which not even the Republi
can Spellbinders in their despera
. tion dare criticize; “our court house
i records are clean; we maintain a
s system of courts for the trial and
punishment of our criminals and
• for the trial and adjustment of
. civil disputes. No one—officer,
r agent, or employee, of Chatham
County——draws an excessive salary.
Mr. Republican spellbinder, where
, will you cut the taxes? Will you
, stop maintaining roads? Will you
stop maintaining the school system,
and the maintaining of the County
. Home? Will you stop the inforce
ment of law and order? Will you
, cause such conditions in Chatham
County that every home should be
armed with shot guns and guarded
. with bull dogs? Please tell us when,
where, and how, any Republican ad
ministration in North Carolina ever
‘ reduced taxes. ANSWER THIS:
There are thirty-two Republican
Counties in North Carolina and the
average tax rate in those Republi
can Counties is 31c higher than
the average tax rate sixty-eight
Democratic Counties in North Caro
lina. How do you answer that?
Oh, you say that we are paying
high salaries. You state that the
Sheriff gets a salary of six thou
; sand dollars a year. This is false,
and you know it. Chatham County
pay the sum of only six thousand
■ dollars for the entire salaries and
. services of the combined Sheriff’s
. force, which includes the office
; of Tax Collector, Treasurer, and
special law inforcement officers.
. Sheriff Blair’s personal salary for
the past two years has been $185.00
. per month, and not $500.00 per
month. There is not but one County
in the State of North Carolina
that collects its taxes for less cost
. than Chatham County, and this ex
pense is included in the above six
, thousand dollars. You say that the
Register of Deeds draws a salary
, of five thousand dollars a year.
Like the Sheriff’s salary, this
is false, and without foundation,
and you know it. It is reiterated
that no large or excessive salary is
paid to any officer, servant, or
agent of Chatham County.
“Tell the foolish of their folly,
lest in their own concern they
think themselves wise.”
Has any Republican in Chatham
• County boasted of the record of the
Republican party in the State of
North Carolina? It is a fact, and we
challenge the Republican Spellbinders
to deny this fact, that the blackest
pages of the history of North Caro
, lina are those that were written
by the Republican party under the
administration of Holden and Rus
. sel. Every student of history knows
that this is true. Since 1900, when
the negro was driven from power
and the Democratic party secured
the reins of government, the State
of North Carolina has made such
wonderful progress that it excites the
admiration of the world.
BEWARE of false promises. BE
WARE of false statements.
The Democratic party of Chat
ham County has no apology to
make for the honesty, integrity, ef
ficiency, and personal character of
its candidates, all of whom are well
known in this County. The Demo
cratic party is asking the vote of
the citizens of Chatham County
upon its record; the Republican
party says, “listen to my promises,
forget my record, let bygones 'be
bygones.” The people of Chatham
County in cold sober thought are
willing to forgive, but they cannot
forget.
While a certain Republican can
didate for County Commissiomer
has never had the chance to de
monstrate his “superman” power as
County Commissioner, he is, and has
.been for years, a Town Commis
sioner of Siler City. When we re
duce the County rate from $1.37
in 1928 to $1.22 in 1929, this self
same promising candidate increases
the Town tax rate in Siler City
from $1.27 to $2.00. Yes, this self
same Republican Spellbinder is a
member of this Tax Increasing
Commission. Was it St. Paul of
old who said “by their fruits ye
shall know them.” ?
Tax in Chatham County, as every
where else, is hard to pay. The
same may be said of our doctor
bills, and our church dues, and
everything else. Most of this has
been brought about by this Hoover
Prosperity. Do not forget the
broken promises.
THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBQRO, N. C.
d Patriotic men and women of
Chatham County stand by your
; colors! Let’s not take a backward
step. Let’s all march on to victory
under the old Democratic baner. It
is not a sectional party, and was
not born in hatred to this fair
southland of ours. Be not deceived
by false prophets.

DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE of
CHATHAM COUNTY
Siler and Eringhaus
Walter D. iSiler and J. B. C.
Eringhaus, the latter of Elizabeth
City and a candidate for governor
two years hence, filled the appoint
ment of Clyde Hoey at Siler City
Saturday afternoon. Mr. Hoey had
been injured in a car accident,
though not seriously, but sufficient
ly to prevent his gratifying many
Chathamites who wished to hear
him.
However, Mr. Siler and Mr.
Eringhaus were fully competent to
take care of the situation. The form
er spoke comparatively briefly and
was followed by a long address 'by
Mr. Eringhaus, who reviewed the
Democratic administration of affairs
in this state and the failure of the
Hoover administration to deliver
the promised prosperity.
Both speeches were meaty and
held the interest of the large
audience.
