THEY DODGE THE ISSUE. Republican Organ Refuse" to Present Facta to the People on the Eve of Election Letter from Messrs. Wal ker and Cox. The following letter has been dc nied publicity through the columns of the Bulletin, the editor of which last week published a statement basely misrepresenting conditions of the affairs of the county In the hand of Messrs. Walker, Cos and Steed. Fearing the result at this time, they agreed to use it next week fter election. Editor Bulletin: In a former is- sue of your paper you stated that you wanted the campairn coLdncted on a high plain of morals, and had Bodesire Jto stir up ill feeling or in flict a personal wrong to any one. With this assurance we desire through your columns to submit the following statement touching the financial condition of the countv during the sdministration of its af fairs by J. E. Walker, 0. R. Cox and B. W. Steed, in your issue of Uctober d. In the first place, we would refer to a statement made by Mr. J. T. Wiuslow, placing the coruty debt, as per a report of a committee composed of T. C. Millican, R. W. Frazier and J. T. Winslow, at $11,302.70. Now, this committee wa appoint ed at the instance of Mr. J. M. Millikan, who had been elected clerk of the Superior Court, who named the members of the committee him self, amd also bore the expense. It is therefore evident that the results of the labors of this committee was not a matter for record in our court and mattered not whether the work of that committee was correct, or far from it. Our board was only re sponsible for a small part of the amount claimed. Ai d t tat part was spent in the construction ot one of the best iron bridges in che State at Buffalo Ford and also aiding the people of Randleman and vicinity iu building another first-class iron bridge spanning Deep River at Naomi Falls. The orders for which Messrs Ra- gau and Millis obtained judgments were issued before we took charge of the affairs of the county; and as the county was in no condition to me t its obligation I can see no sin in the owners of those orders taking such steps as would be necessary to secure legal interest while thay were de barred the use of their money in regular and lucrative busiuess chan nels. The Bulletin claims that a Repub lican board of commissioners saved the county $4,900.27 iu four years; y t by comparison our board saved to the county $4,110.61 during the last two years we were in office. No man knows better thau Mr. Winslow who was clerk to the board, that not one cent of the County's money was diverted from its regular and proper channel, as it was our one desire to practice economy at all- times and under ail circumstances, and, resolving the whole matter into a question of conscience there is not a single item on the record made by us that we would change, though we had power to do so. J. E. Walker. 0. R. Cox. Later The Courier received the following: s Sir: In additiou to our letter sent ou this morning and denied publication in the Uulletiu until after election, we want to sv that at the close of our term of of fice as County Commissioners, Dec. 1895 assuming that the statement rendered by the Millikan Committee was correct (but which we do ;uot claim) if the County 'Taxes already assessed and levied for that year to gether with unsettled taxes in the hands of Sheriff Heiurcks could have been converted into cash, the debt would have been fully met and a ballance of mora than $3,000 left in the hands of the Treasurer. , J. E. Walker O. R. Cox. (irancl Dcinoaratic Kali)'. There will be a big Democratic Rally at Randlenian on Monday n'ght, November 5th, at which a number of distinguished speakers will address the people of Ran dlenian and surrounding commu nity.

Things Caught While Attending Canvass of Candidates. REPUBLICAN ROT BEING BANKED. Vttort Will Be Made to Drown the Voice of the People by a Flood of De ceiving Statements on Eve of Election. Be on your guard Mr. Voter. In 1900 the Argus was held back till Friday night and came forth brimfall of political rot and false hoods. We have heard it intimated that the same trick is to be played this fall. Look out for any old tale from our opponents right in the last days of the campaign. The Rads make a terrible howl for better wages, and say they are for paying public school teachers and other school officers better sala ries. They cut down the average salary of teachers in this county from $25.00 in 1896 to $23.25 iu 1899. Oh Consistency, the Repub lican party has never known thee! At their night speakings the Re publicans claim that the County Board of Education ought to be elected by the people, yet when they were in power tbey did no such thine. They also howl loudly about "keeping the schools out of politics. If school officers are to be elected just as other county of ficers, would that not put the schools deeply into politics? In their argument Republicans do not know the meaning of the word con sistency. Mr. Burrow attributes the panic during Grant's administration to the fact that the Republicans took a fool notion to make a ten per cent, reduction in the tanfl. Every panic since 1800 has oc curred while the nation was under a high protective tariff law. The Radicals claim that their big insolvent lists allowed the Sheriff were during the hard times which they claim were the result of Cleveland's administration. Let's see if they tell the truth. McKin- ley was inaugurated March 4th 1897. The number of poll taxes released by the Republicans is as follows: In 1897, 589; in 1898, 1004; in 1899, 901. As the Re publican administration progressed the insolvent lists grew larger. Once false, always false! 11". Burrow says he does not en dorse Marion Butler. However he is working hand in hand with Mary Ann to defeat the Watts and Ward laws and help recapture North Carolina for Butler, Adams and James Young. Last Saturday the Rads told you to vote for Republican candidates and better schools. That is abso lutely impossib'e! They went backwards 81,012.50 in three years, and then quit with $4S4.90 below zero. Mr. English thinks the Populists did a great deal of good in North Carolina. We think so too, but those who followed Butler into the Republican party lost all the good they had ever done, and Mary Ann has them safely bridled to do his will. , School order No. 26, made by The County Board of Education, Sept, "), 1898, was not jwid till Jan. 18, lilUO. See livasuiei's Book, Page 104. It the Republicans were not in debt, why was this order not paid piompth ? Ask Mr. Bunow where that le port of T. C. Millikan. R. W. Frszier and "the tother fellow'' is recorded. If it was a real thmg.it is recorded. If it was gotten up to scare men into votiug for the Re publican party, Air. Winslow was very c ireless abmt tuing his office to furnish Republic in ciinpiigu stories. A sworn oflicer should be careful about signing campngu stories unless he kuows them to be true, and records all reports as is hi-j sworn duty. L. D. Mendenhall, postmaster at Randlenian, while speaking on the Couuiy Canvass in English's place last week said at New Center, Mt. Olivet and Plensant Grove that the Couuty Superintendent of Schools and the public school teachers in this county did not receive suffici ent pay that he was in favor of paying more. While the Republi cans ran the public schools in this county they reduced the average monthly salary of white teachers from 25.00 in 1896 to $23.25 in 1899. English claims that he re ceived only $150.00 per year, so says Mr. Mendenhall, but the re cords show that he receixed $126. for six mouth's services, and he lived at Archdale and had a man to look after his business most of the time. The Register was also paid as clerk to the Board of Education. Eavesdroppers seldom hear any good spoken concerning themselves. It is a crime under the law to do such a thing. Would the people elect a man who does it to an im portant office? The Republicans talk long and loudly about fair elections. Ask them about the returns from East Columbia in 1898. Mr. Burrow says he does not criticise the Democrats for increas ing appropriations to the Insane and Deaf and Dumb and Blind Asylums. I guess not He knows better. The Democrats spent over $600,000.00 more for this purpose in four years than his party spent. Mr. Z. B. Saunders admits that the Democrats managed the Pene tentiary better than the Republicans managed it. Good for Zeb, but one of the convicts could have seen that long before he told it. Messrs. English, Borrow & Co. say that North Carolinians do not reverence the courts as they used to do. Why? Because the National Republican administration has put among us such narrow minded men as Judges. See? Judge Adams is a i ditributer abusing Democrats and creating false impressions. While he is slinging mud hn ought to remember how nice and decent it was for him toiuu on the ticket with Albert Bigelow, a negro, in Caswell county. Ask the man who certifies as to the report ofji committee which shows the county to be in debt when the Fusionists came into pow er, if he thinks offering "any amount of money he may name," to a regis trar, is a good plan to secure fair elections." The State providis for the payment of registrars. Struck the wrong man, didn't you, brother? Back at your old methods ! l!r. Winslow, where is that re" port? Mr. Burrow, where is that re port? Who made that report anyway? If Prof. English did not get but $125 a year as County Supervisor of Schools, tell him to look on page 321 of the minute book of the Board of Education, and see if he was allowed $155.85 for six months, from July 5, 1897, to January 7th, 1898. And the Register of Dt-eds was also paid "for clerk to the board." How much did it all amount to? Messrs Burrow, Mendenhall and Euglish say they caanot, and will not say a word against the adminis tration of Mr. Way, as county Su perintendent of Schools. If" there is anything against it, say it, gentle men, liut they are afraid of a com parison ! Prof English accounts foi his numerous changes in politics by saying that the Democratic party has been moying around so much that he could not keep up with it. Mr. Way told him in the joint dis cussion "at the County Home that his cage was a good deal like the little boy who turned round and round until his head got to swi-ii-uiing and then lying down with the belief that the world was turn ing around him, when in fact the trouble was till right in the boy's head. Prof. English has turned lound in polities so often that it is possible for his head to get to swimming and make him think the world is turning round him. Let lnmstop changing and the world will not seem to by ruuuing round him. DEATH OF MR. MCDANIEL. One of Itanilolpli's Mot Prosperous Citizens XiKTumhs to Attack of I'ncii nionla. Friday evening at 7 o'clock Mr. John 11. McDauiels. one of Cedar Grove's most prosperous citizens, died after a short iilnes with pneu monia. Mr. McDaniel was about 40 yeurs old aud leaves a wife and two children. Besides operating one of the best farms in the county he had other extensive business interests, in which he had been very successful. As a quiet citizen he pursued the even tenor of his way, numbering all whom he met as frieuds. He was highly esteemed in his commu nity. He never sought office in his county though at his death he was the Republican candidate for coun ty treasurer. He served his dis trict well for some time past as school committeeman. Mr. McDaniel was a consecrated member of the Friends Church. The funeral was conducted Sun day afternoon at the friends church in Back Creek. A large number of friends from Asheboro attended the funeral. Miss Ulan Hayes, of Randleman, spent Saturday in Asheboro a guest of Miss Louise Slack. s BIG OPENING-NEW STORE True economy is wiselv choosincr that which will civ perfect satisfaction at the least cost.

Elliot & Company, Randleman, N. C. THE BARBECUE. Crowd Attended Despite Inclement Weather--Mr. Overman strength ened The Cause. The big Democratic barbecue and picuic at Asbebcro last Thdrsday was significant of a great victory for the party in Randolph. For ten days previous there had beeu a steadv down pour of rai.i, but Thursday's sun was greeted by an immense throng of enthusiastic aud determined voters who bad come from every part of the county, de spite the bad condition of the roads. Many young ladies also bravrd the mud aud shared the great feast. The parade more tlnn a mile long traversed the toivn to the grounds where the rally was held. 8houti ng the g:eit victory foi Ran-1 dolph demociacy next Tuesday. Senator Overman was the speaker; and with tellinc elTejt he told of the! achievments of the Democratic party in the development of the na-' Hon from the foundation of the government. 'Svil lie made one challenge that lias not tieen accepted aud will not ln It was to this effect, that no Re publican could name the time when their party was in power, that it did not bring disgrace and scandal up on the State; that they cmild not name the tune when Democrats had control of the State government and all was not peace and harmony. During his speech he reviewed the State and county records under the two parties which served to strength en the cause of Democracy greatly in the county. Its effect will be far reaching. It was truly a great day for Ran dolph and those who heard the speakers both old and young will not soou forget the warning against the disastrous result of turning the State over to the enemy.
