others, who helped put 1,000 negroes in oflice, voted against the suffrage

ALLEN VOTED TO RAISE TAXES.
Further, the legislature of 18117 increased the said taxes from SMi
cents to 22 tents, but did it. in such a way that their own Supreme
court declared it to be unconstitutional. Mr Allen wa a member of that
legislature, let it be remembered, and voteil to increase the taxes. Xo
Democrat, since the war, from Randolph county has ever voted to raise the
taxes in any way. Mr Alien and his associates in the gencril assembly in
1807 ure the only member? from this county in many years vho have voted
to increase the taxes of the people.
T ALLEY'S WILD, FALSE STATEMENTS.
A circular is being distributed in Randolph eountv, and a statement
has been made by ''Would-be Senator", Wilcv Tulley, that Gov Russell
paid for legal services and expenses tor the year ItfOS 5,2011.71, and that
Gov Aveoek expended during the tirst year of his administration for legal
services and expenses .fl7,it'3. 94. The figures are taken from the Audi-
toi e reports for tho respective vows. 1 he Auditor 8 icport and the re
cords for 1901 show that it is a fact that Gov Ayeoek's administration did
spend more money during that year, but the recoids further show that
every dollar ol the $17,fiu3. 94 expended, saving and except .ol7.S4 was
paid out on employment and litigation contracted for by Gov Russell.
1 he amount ot iM7,il,ro. 10 was paid in settlement of Gov Iiis?cll s eon-
tracts, litigations aud contentions. The comparisons made in this republi
can circular takes the year 1K98 and the second year of Gov Russell's ad
ministration ami compares it with the lirst year of uov Aycock s. Uov
Rutsell's administration paid out, neeording'to the Auditor's report, for
the year ending Nov 30, 1900, for legal expenses $9,159.33, and for the
yeai preceding that, 1899 $9,997.73, and for the year before that, ending
JNov JOth, 1898, 5,270.71 and not Sij.2tHj.71. as stated in the republican
circular. During the four years of Gov Rns-ieU's administration ex
pended $43,419.1 for legal services. Aycock expended during his first
year on bis own account, not including contracts for legal expenses which
were made by tov Uussell, the small sum of .$.)47.84; this amount liiclud-
e.l $298.11 in full payment for legal services and expenses for defending
the registrars who wete tried in the federal court, and tho whole power of
the machinery of the republican party in the state was directed against
them in an effort to send them to a federal penitentiary for doing enly
their duty.
With the increased appropriation for public 6chels, charitable and
other institutions, wisely, honestly and economically expended, the pretent
administration does not approach the enormous turns expended by the re
publican partv during its lease ot power from 1808 to 1871. In the year
18(13 the total disbursements were $2,055,755. 42. Iu 1869 tho total dis
bursements were $8,854,587.15; in ls7o the total disbursements were $3,-
657,025.11; the total disbn.seinentH in neither of tho years of Gov Ay
cock's administration has approached anything like near the neighbor
hood ol tne amount from any year of the lease of power from 1808 to 1871.
Mr Talley says in his speech to tho people, and he ought to know bet
ter and many people think he does know btvter, that something like .f 13
000 or more was expended to defend the registrars in the federal courts.
The truth is he has got the amount about twenty times too much. His
statements about that are no greater exaggeration than his statements
about many other matters that he makes in his speeches. He makes the
most reckless statements about county and Mate matters of any man who
ever addressed a Randolph county audience. He Is not the most intelli
gent man in the county by any means, but ha is too intelligent to make
the statement vhich he does make. Xo man who wants to be fair will
make such statements as be makes.
He tells that the county was in debt w hen the republicans look charge
in 1894, every w ird of which he ought to know and, no doubt, does know
is untrue. The recoids show that (he county hsd more than $5,000 to
its credit.
Since Mr Talley has seen lit to go ino these matters, we will have
something to say about it in another issue of the paper.
The republican party at its lecent convention did not see proper to re
nominate any of its ollicers except one, who cam.' so near bankiupting the
county during his administration that there never was a time when a
county order was worth par. We have neither timn nor space in this issue
of the Courier to go into this matter and give the facta and figures, taken
from the records of the county, but we will do so in a future issue.
WE CHALLENGE MR. TALLEY TO PROVE HIS STATE
MENTS TO BE TRUE. HE CANNOT DO IT, AND
KNOWS EE CANNOT.
In the meantime, we challenge Mr Talley, or any other man, to prove
one word of the correctness of the statement which he has made on the
stump, as relates to county matters. If Mr Talley will come to Asheboio,
he will find a clever set of public ollicials who will show him anything he
wants to see in the records and will assist him iu getting the truth about
these matters. Tbey ca.ii show h i hi that the present sheriff of the couuty
had something like 100 i'lsolveut poll taxes on his books last year, whereas,
uuder republican rule it was not unii'ual to allow luOO insolvents.
The State prison now pays a reveuue. Uuder Gov Russell's adminis

ALLEN'S RECORD INT E HOUSE.
Cnpt John 15 Kates, ei-C'hi.irmaii of the republican state committee,
and a republican cf prominence whos party loyalty was never questioned.
said, that the t to fu-ion legislature" of iJ- and 197 w.to a disgrace l
a heathen nation. Mr lintlor often s:ate-.l in the "Caut-lan" that the;
were a ''damnable disgrace to the staie." The Raleigh Tribune, a republi
can daily paper, published at l.'aleigh, deel.ireii time and again thai tin
laws enacted, the conduct and the scenes, public brawls and drunken rev-
elerr, of the legislature of 1897 was n disgrae- to our civilization. It is
true that the amendment has been settled in .North Carolina, it isalso true
that, no mm wl: . ever participated or took pan n enacting the laws of the
legislature of I s7 will ever again hold a public oflice by the votes of the
people of t hi- stale. The public acts and otVi ial conduct of Mr J M Al
len are public matters aad they are referred to in this connection without
any reference to his personal or private life. Those who desire to investi
gate for themselves are referred to the House Journal of 1897; it is not a
democratic docuineii, bnt a book provided under ami by the authority of
the legislature of which Mr Allen was a member, printed by appropriations
made by Ihe republicans and by republican printers and Mr Allen was a
member of the printing committee that authorized and caused this book to
bepiiiitcd. The records contained in it therefore cannot be disputed bv
him.
On pane 718 of said Honee Journal will be found where Mr Allen
voted to amend the charter of Xewbcrn which negroized that city. Under
that charter which he voted for, there were three negro alderman a num
ber of policemen, a necro citr at'orncr and other neero officers. On
page 490 will be found where Mr Allen together with his associates Tot
ed to remove Mr Swinson from the office of Enrolling Clerk, Mr Swinton
being pnpnbst an! harlaf th ppi-f roent of a n a raker ef clerks. Siak
Quick, a negro politician from Richmond county wanted a job; the ner ro
senator from Vance county wanted a negro bv the name of Young also
appointed to a position in the ollice cf Unrolling Clerk. Mr Swinson de
clined to do this saying that there were a number of white ladies employed
in ins oiiiee. t pun an iiiiesugauo.i, u was uiiegeii 1.11m Vinson was ex
travagant. The sworn testimony, however, being t at the only extrava
gance which could be proven against him was the purchase of three small
locks which were placed upon desks to make more secure his papers. The
records snow that Eniolling Clerk's ollice was costing $50 per day when
Mr swinson w.19 discharged. 1 lie next dav after he was turned out and
for several days threafter the expenses were $55 a day. On the Wednes
day folloiviiig tho negroes who refused were put in increasing the cost to
$05 a da w iu 1 few days the costs were increased to $70 a day.
VOTED TO NEGROIZE CITIES AND TOWNS.
Mr Allen also voted to ncgroize the town of Greenville, the legislature
of 1895 having divided that town into four wards, making two of the
wards a bite and two ot the wards bla?k, and give to the two white wards
one aldei man each and to the black wards two alderman each. The ma
jority of tho people of Greenville are white and there is not a finer citizen
ship iu the ttale. The House in 1897, not being content with the humili
ation and disgrace which they brought to this city voted to place it under a
police power consisting of an old, infirm and decrepit democrat, a negro
burlier, a man of bad charac'.er, and a negro who often bad long drunken
sprers. This bill was passed and Mr Allen Toted for it as recorded on
oage 874 of the House Journal. On two ballots of the Wilmington bill as
recorded on pages 703 and 805 of the House Journal Mr Allen did not
vole. He dodged. K will lie found on page 905 that he also d.idged the
bill to ncgroize ( 'harlotte. Xever at any time so fr as the iceords show,
did he stand up and vote against any of the infamous measures to uegroize
the cities and towns of North Carolina.

Th.- vole is recorded 1:1 the Journal of the House of Representatives of
197, page 90ii. It v ill be remembered that Jim Young is the notorious
Wake county negro who ,vas put, on the board of directors for the school
for the deaf, dumb an I blind white children at Raleigh by this same legis
lature of which Mr Allen was a member and carved his name on the cor
ner stone a? one of the directors of the institution. This fact was denied
by the revenue ollicers and others in this county, and the editor of the
Courier took a doubtii g republican to Raleigh and with Mr B R Lacy and
others took him to 1 In- institution and he saw for himself the name of Jim
Young carved on the corner stone of the building erected to ba used foe
the instruction of tho white deaf, dumb and blind children. The repak
lijan wrote a letter declaring his intention to Tote the democ ratio ticket.
We refer to this nutter becausa it is a part of Mr Allen's public fi
cial record, and the white voters of this county should know absit tats
matters bafore they cast their votes.
DID HE EXAMINE THIS MAN?
In tiie year 1898 there lived in Columbia township, Randolph
county, a tnan by the name of Enos L. York, who waa said to hay
been of an unbalanced mind. Some of his friends and neighbor!
decided to have him examined and placed in an asylum and accord
ingly went to Dr. S. W. Caddell to get him to examine the said
York according to Law. Dr. Caddell made an appointment with
tw magistral to meet him at the home of Mr. York on a certain
day in March, 1828, for the purpoie of making said examination;,
but in some way Mr York got word they were coming and left
home early in the morning on the day in question and remained
til! Ir.te in the afternoon. Dr. Caddell and the magistrates met at
the home r.f Mr. York and sat around a few hours waiting for Mr.
York to icturn, but as he did not return they left and Dr. Caddell
made out his report adjudging the said York insane without having
seen him and sent in his bill for said examination to the fusion
board of county commissioners duly sworn to before T. L. Chis
holm, Notary Public, and was allowed $5.00 for examining a man
he did not see, let alone examine.
Citizens of Randolph, this is the kind of man tne Republicans
ask you to support for the Legislature this year. What do you
think of him? Can you support him?
