The Company only asks this Jtmall iftfliift nf hnnrin for tha purpose of obtaining the co operation of our people in 1 he enterprise, and to help fb.2m out in the way of taxes, 4tc. As you see the bonds - trill drnw nn intprasr until the road is completed through the county, and entering at at Cook's Gap, this means t hiit we will have from 35 to 40'niile8 of railroad within our 'borders. The assessed value of the road will be a bout 12,000 per mile, and yon can easily count the tax tle Company will annually pay in to our treasury. Stpdy fhev proposition well, from very standpoint: consider the influx of population and rapital into our county when j ij i me ruim ia compieren; me enormous amount of money paid out each rear in mar keting ourprodurtH, pikage etc., to say nothing ofv the Wear and tear of teams, wag ons, etc., and surely jou w ill be for the road. This ques tion is of more vital nnpqi t: jance to our people than local politics. We note with pleasure that our former countvman, J: E. Finley, is a candidate for commissioner in Wilkes coun tv, and if a clean record and . fine business qualifications are considered by the people there, he will be elected by a large majority. , JLfr. Finley was inducted into the office of county commissioner in Watauga county December 1, 1883, and was made chair .'man of the body. At that time the financial condition "of the county was in a des- ; perate condition; the county paper being far below par, , wpi ouuu uuuer uin wise man agement as chairman, the af fairs began to improve," and long before he resigned ; ( 7 jears later) a claim on Wat - anvk OinntW nrna na ri.A check on a National bank. 1'ou still often hear his offi cja! rf cord in Watauga rom merited upon, and it- is con ceded-by republicans as well an democrats that be was one of the best' commission r rs the comity ever had, and if VVilkea does her -duty she will elect him to this position that he is so eminently fitted to fill. What the RidlfUEIectloi Law Did. Ralefen Newt and Oh-erver, '' All oyer North (Carolina the radical gang of orators are going around denouncing the new election law and misrep resenting its provisions. On ly this week one of these hir ed hobo statesmen was in Raleigh telling that under the new election law no man could yote unless- he eould give the name of the former occupant ol the house in which he lived. Hewas"shut up" by being offered ten dol lars to point' out that re quirement in theelection law. hut so lew people ha ye read and studied the election law, that hus ridiculous assertion might deceive some people. 7 his a fair sample of the false hoods the,, .are telling about theelection law. Let us see what right the Radicals have to denounce election law or election methods. When the Republicans wrote an election law the Canby Constitution was declared a doptpd, they, not only ap pointed poll holders, but they had' the ballot-boxes sealed up and carried to Military Headquarters to be counted. Before doing that they dis franchised about twelve thou sand of the best men in North Carolina and permitted ma ny thousand newly emanci pated slaves to vote. Even then they did not permit the residents of the State to count the ballots, but sent them to Columbia, S. C, to be counted by soldiers. Of course the count was in favor of the Reconstruction and Negro party. To show the dishonesty and farce of the whole proceeding, we. may mention that the first return sent back to North Carolina showed the election of Mr. E. C. Bartlett, as member of the Legislature from Ashe coun ty.- When he reached Ral eigh, he acted with the Con servatives. That displeased the Radicals beyond measure and they thereupon sent word to Columbia and in a few days word was received that, there had been a mis take in the count and Mr. Burtlett had not been elected, but Mr. John G.- M.irler was the man elected. Whn Mr. Ma Hew got to Raleigh it was lound that he was even a bet t-r "Conservative Democrat" than Mr. Bat rlett. Then the Radiralb were a mad crowd, but thej never stopped at wholesale fraud to carry their point. They needed a better Radical from Ashe and so af ter Marler got to Raleigh, the leaders of the -'Hands" notified General Canb'yi and a pew, count was ordered'. Pretty soon word came from Columbia that Marler had not been elected, but that a man by the name of Marshall had beeii elected. And Mar shall,' who. tvas a true .mossy dread hot weather. They know how it weaker s and how this affects the taby. A All such mothers need yl Scott's Emulsion. Ifrlvc l,f' pi them strength and makes fa the baby's food richer and fa (A more abundant ;. A back Radical,T6ok the seat and held it. It took .three fraudulent counts tosive him the peat, but the "gang'' was equal to the emergency;, ; It took the United struggle of the best white tnen: in North Carolina to throw off the yoke of Militarism, Car petbagism and Negro "Rule which the Canby gang -out upon the people wheq they had an election law that was warrauted to count out a Re publican majority, no matter how the ballots went into the box, and a law that was po adjusted that they could "un-elect," so to speak, any person elected who did not do the bidding of the thieves and knaves who were in con trol of the State government. Ib the lace of this record, Radical orators are trying to inflame the people against the present election law. The real objection Radicals have to the new election law is that dead negroes, eighteen year old negroes, negro con victs aud imported negroes cannot vote under it. That's the secret of their hobtility I The consolidation of sec tions 4 and 5 of theconstitu- tional amendment havesome what trimmed the sails, of the anti-amendment - advo cates in Watauga They are simply at sea and are now making their last final ap peal to the voters to protect the interests of the poor twelve-year old boy, who, they say, will be disfranchis ed in 1908. provided the amend ment is adopted. These leaders, remember, have no children whom they fear will be disfranchised, and are sim ply playing on the prejudices of others for party gain, on-! ly. Their days are number-j ed,and they know it j" bat they are determined to fight to the last, despite the fact that the intelligence, man hood and the patriotism of the county is against them. The amendment is on Gain ing ground, notwithstanding the friet that every means, both fair and foul, are being brought to bear against it bj the revenue officers, and other officials of the G. 0, P.
