Sntered a* 8econd.cla«« raatter May to, 1908, at the poHt at Burling: kon, North Carolina, under tJie Act ot Joajrres* of March 3 187ft. Wejaesiay, Apr. 2, 1913, in last weeks issue we said through a typographical error ^ the editor of^ Appeal to^t Reas^ir gave a 4et^!e(i ?^count 0? the Hfeaatl-su^eidb of J, Ao Wayland, the editor of Appeal to Reas4/fi. It should have been the editor of the Remonsti’ator of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma who wrote the facts in regard to the low life of J. A, Wayland and his timely suicide. Te!! the Truth. The Buriington News in its issue of March 26ch under the headline, The Municipal Elec tion, made several statements that are very far from being cor rect. It says that two years ago one of the best business men in tVie city was defeated by a cit izens tick; t. The citizens had nr- candidate ior mayor, nor endors ed any one for mayor. The Democratic ticket for aldermen was elected in the first ward, the Deni.ocj-atic tickei was elect ed iii the second ward, one oi the I>emocratic nominees in the third ward was elected and the other '.vas defeated by Demo crat on the citizens ticket, in the fourrii ward there were only tvvo ea;-didates in ihe' field and they were cl-cted. There were two - 'andidates for iTiayor. ‘be Mi’si wa?a good busi ness man. Mr. W. K. Holt nomini;,ted h\ the Democratic ring and f rapent.td to the Demo crat vot-rs of Buriington as'their nominee a^rrd .a: the coventicn was introiiiceti b\’ the Chairman of the convention as Burlington's r.exz Mr.' J. H. Free land declared bimself as. an in- depende-u" Deniocrat candidate for mayor and was elected \i,ith- oi;t the e..iorsement or the sup port of any citizens convention or tickec, '*£:! d any man that charges the cefeat of Mr. W. K. Hoit to citizens ticket is steeped in tiie deepest of ingor- ance or a vv-iilfu! misrepresenter of tacts. Ihe News must re member that the present board is the real prodt-cr of the demo cratic parly ar5d it cannot be laid at the door of any one else. No neither Republican nor Prc- gressive. Therefore, honor to whom honor is due, disgrace to whom it justly belongs. Hence, you can and must add to your Demo cratic Honor Roll two more years of Democratic failure in administ ering the town government. We are m favor of a straight fight, w'e were in favor of it two years ago and we followed that course. And so were vou and every other hot headed Democmt. Year creed is and has always been the Demo cratic party first, and to the devil will! the people and the government. You and your party refuse to consider any sug gestions as to the handling of the j towns business. ^Ve tried to ofter a plan to a membir of tb.e former Water, Light & Power Gummission for getting a supply or water. We were very gently reminded that the commission did not need nor would they leceive any sugges tions. They siirely needed some thing, they did not use, if they had it. Eh! The Democratic ring tried to deceive the Republican party and procure an endorsement for Mr. J. H. Freeland an indepen dent democrat, as mayor under the title of a citizens ticket We were not deceived nor entrapped. We let mule kick mule, and the result was that the nominee of the democrat ring was kicked out of the ring. The Democratic pjirty in Burlington should be glad to hand over the adminis tration of th6 town to any party that is willing to receive it. If they were ia the least sincere this they wouid do, because they have made another failure under their administration. The town is running in debt from year at the rate of Three to Five Thou sand Dollar- andif ouroppcii r » statements are true , as to the conditions of our streets, when they are the worst there is in the state, the .town certainly must be in a devil of a fix. We are willing and anxious to leeeive ^fromour ^opi^nentSv 3;11 that is ours, biit we will not ac- cet)t those things .that our Voppo- nents will not even claim. They are none of ours. This is your administration, the conditions of the town are its harvest, there fore, bear your burdens to your own soul and do not cast them otf at our floor, and pray tx> us for mercy, “Go Thou Demo cracy to the Ant. consider her ways and be wise.’' Honor Roll for Spring Dale Colored School.

It is pointed out by the same officials that since the rebels con trol a large part of the frontier, this country is dependent abso iutely for the time being on the United States to prevent the re bels from obtaining supplies.
