doesn't look like we ate an
archists, does it? Auditor
Ayer in 1897."
" The above is a declaration
of Auditor Ayer after the tax
assessment had been sent
him Iron? the different coun
ties. A Board of Equaliza
tion was appointed and this
Board raised the assessment
as it suited them. In Wat
auga county ?attle was rais
ed 25 per cent; horses and
mules 20 per cent; sheep 25
per cent, and hogs 15 per
cent. Yes, we "one gallus fel
lows" had to pay this addb
tional tax over what w e
swoiv was a fair price for our
stock. This Board of Eoual-
t ization says by their acts
that we, Watauga people,
swore falsely in giving in our
tt:xes. Ttie railroads a li d
bonds of the rich only paid
10 cents extra. They come
nearer swearing true as to
the value than we. The ex
travagance of this Radical
legislature exceeded the old
regular tax of the Democrats
so. much that they raised
over a million dollars more
to meet the demands as a
basis of taxation. These fel
lows were great refornrers
end ask the sroOd nennlewhn
have been outraged to vote
again for them that they

Republican Argument in this Cam
pnl&n.
"Don't vote the Democrat
ic ticket, you poor men, for
these Democrats will disfran
chise you and the "nigger."
Don't vote for the Demo
crats for they will repeal our
glorious election law that the
Pops "and Reps established
where all can vote and have
his vote Counted. : 7
' "That' the ; hue nnd cry
about negroes holding office
in the eastern counties are
a 1 1 democratic lies. That
the Democrats are the negro
party. and not the Republi
can. That the negroes vote
the Democratic ticket and
not the Republican ticket;.
"That Auditor Ayer had to
have the tuxes of the several
counties raised so as to meet
the expenses of the State
government. That the two
last legislatures were reform
ones and it took more taxes
to run them owing to the in
creased number of office hold
ers and The incrense of salar
i"8 in order that the needed
reforms and retrenchments
should be carried out.
'That we thought it the
right thing to tax the "one
gallus fellows" on their bulls
and cows higher in propor
tion than the bond holders
and rich fellows for these
"one gallus fellows" make
the most complaint. We did
this to show that we were
not partial also."
We ,m a y haye forgotten
seme of the prominent teat
nres of the Republican argu
ment to convince the people
that they are the right sort
of stuff to vote for. H e have
not intentionally left out
anything, but if we have we
will produce it hereafter.
Bull calves and mica in the
west , are , the most catchy
things. . They are .not saying
a word about i cent cotton
nor 60 cent wheat. We bear
that Linney and Pritcbard
will come around and we will
then kuow more about mat

occurred with the Pillager In
dians Several white men
have been killed by the In
dians ana 30 of the Indians
have been slain by the troops.
The trouble is still going on
a rid reinforcements are being
sent to.belp put down the. up
rising of the Indians. Of
course.it will be a shot .time
before the " ludians are oyer
powered but ieports say that
they are well armed and fight
like demons.
Newspaper reports on Sen
ator PritchardV canvass in
the eastern part of the State
say that bull calves and mica
in the .western part of the
State are making the people
rich. So our eastern broth
ers are informed about our
great prosperity here in the
mountains under the McKin
ley wave of prosperity. We
admit that our condition is
better than theirs in the
east whero there are negro
officeholders and 4 cent cot
ton 25 corn and GO cent
w heat. We do not have any
mica to specula to upon lift
just think o f our lousey
calves that Gudger described
which were worth only two
dollars under Cleveland rd!e
but now are worth $15 to
$20 apiece. Don't thismake
your heads swim, yon eastern
men, with 4 centcotton and
niggers" too numerous to
count? Quit vour cotton
nd "nigger." Come up west
and raise bull calves and
mica. 3et rich at once.
The Mark Hannn crowd
have become greatly alarm
ed over the Congrensional
election in many or t h e
States. Hanna says it will
require f 2,000,000 to elect
a majority in Congress on
the 8th of November, and he
has made ah argent call on
his henchmen to plank up t he
boodle. The 8th and 9lh
dists., in North Carolina is
in peril. Linney and Pear
son will be beaten if money
is not put up at once. They
have sent money to the 9th
to nid Pearson; It will come
to this Dist., .if the Insurg
ents hold out. . The Radicals
are macb alarmed in North
Carolina. Our sister State
Georgia has hd its October
election for Governor and
State officers. The Popu
lists and Repulicans fuaed
against the Democrats and
the fight was hot hut the
Democrats were victorious
electing the Governor and
State officers with a major
ity of about 70,000. All the.
Southern States will go back
to the Democratic column,
by largd majorities. Hence
the alarm of "maikies."
New York will go Democrat
ic by n huge majority. Pen
nsylvania is in the balance
and will no doubt elect an
anti-Quay ticket.
' How it Hurts !
Rheumatism, with its sharp
twinges, achea and pains. Do
you know the caune? Acid in the
blood has accumulated iu your
joints. The cur is found in
Hood's Snrsapaiilla which neu
tralizes tins acid. Thousands
write that they have been com-
K'etely cured of rheumatism by
ood's Sarsaparilla.
flood's Pills cure nausea, sick
headache, bilioueneaa, indiges
tion, rnce 25 cents.
The news from Gov. Tay
lor, of Tenn., is more hope
ful. He was thought to be
better a few days ago. Hope
he may recover from his ex
treme illness.
, : Lite insurance is a good thing
but health insurance, ty( keeping
tne biooa pure witn Hood s Sar
tjoparilla, le etill better.

will carry the county for the
State Senate beyond all
doubt, and Reeves for the

will be almost certaiu to win.
You never saw Democrats as
unterritied in all your life.
The campaign in Pennsyl

nominated Mr. Jenks as their
candidate for Governor. Dem
