spectfully suggest that, when this is
the case, you can secure a copy at
the executive office. If a copy is
sent me here, I will gladly forward
it to you. If not I will be glad to

- Raleigh, July 23, 1898.
F. M. Simmons, Esq., Chairman
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, Raleigh, N. C.
Sir Your various letters, writ
ten from Uie Democratic headquar
ters and signed by you as chairman
of the Democratic party, ask, or de
mand a large mass of figures and
schedules, all of which are usually
(bond in the printed reports of the
opermtendent of the State prison.
When the time comes for ma to
makemy report according to law, 1
will make it by direction of the law,
and not by the direction of the
chairman of the Democratic party ia
North Carolina. From that yon, or
any other individual, can get the
information that , you pretend 16
If lha prison" clerk had time to
rtiak out the statement 'od gather
up the figures I would be perfectly
willing that ho should ; do so now,
or at any other time, at the request
of any citizen of tho State, provided
that citizen possesses alio following
qualifications' .
First, he must bo a man of honor,
who makes the request in-good
faith for tho legitimate purpose- of
obtaining information, and not with
the intention of obtaining figures for
distortion, misrepresentation and
falsehood. . ' - ' .
Second, ho" must boa porson who,
when he comes to ask for 'returns' to
him will not be suspected on ac
count of his post conduct of having
the intention to falsify tho returns,
so as to make them tho reverse of
what they truly aro.
Third, I should prefer that the
person making the request, if he be a
politician, should be sincere in what
ho prol'esses to be. For example,
that he should not be standing on a
Populistic platform when every one
knows that he is a Clovelanditeand
a gold bug and a monopolist.
You are not the kind of 'man to
ask an honest man tor bona fide re
turns of facts and figures. It is
simply wonderful that you should
even dare to ak anybody to make
returns to you . In 1892 you as
chairman of the Democratic party
got returns of the votes of the free
men of North Carolina. These -re
turns of the Populist and Republi
can votes you had flung into tho
ditch and caused your robber re
turning boards to refuse to count the
votes that you did not like and to
count only those that wero cast for
you and your crowd. Yifu must
have some sort of notion that you
not only have tho right to question
me, but are still commander-in-chief
of the board of perjurers of tho
precincts and tho robbers of the re
turning boards. You seem to forgot
that tho people of North Carolina
roso in their honest indignation in
1894 and abolishod you and your
rascally returning boardsand ( gave
to you your final discharge from tho
manipulation ofvotes and voters.
But there is -some information
which you call for that I can give
you without hiring an extra book
keeper, and I shall proceed most
cheerfully to do so. You want to
know about the plantations operat
ed by the penitentiary and the rent,
or lease money, contract to be paid
by the State.
Well, there is a tarm known as
the Halifax farm. It was leased from
certain individuals under 'Demo
cratic management, and is now cost
ing the Stato for rent under the
Democratic contract about 11,600 a
year. A largo amount was ex
ponded upon it in the nay of clear
ing and improvements. Most oi it
is a dangerous bottom on the Roan
oke which cannot be dyked and on
which crops cannot be safely plant
ed. It never has been worth the
rent, but it was saddled upon the
State to be ditched and cleared; and
for royal rents to be paid to the
fortunate lessors. t After-it had been
improved, cleared lip and taken out
of the wilderness, and buildings put
upon it by the State, General Mat
thew W, Ransom, of the county of
Northampton, notified the superin
tendent of the penitentiary and the
Governor of the State, that tho
Democratic board, had taken the
lease and had paid out uncounted
thousands of dollars in tho way of
improvements and rents,, and all
this they had done on property to
which they had no title; that the
lease was void and worthies, be
cause there was a mortgage on the
property and the . mortgagees did
not join in the lease, and the mort
gage had been foreclosed, and Gen.
Ransom, or his son, had -be
come Jhe purchaser of the farm at
the mortgage sale. And after the
State had improved and rescued it
from tho wildemewt, it turned out
that it belonged to General Ransom,
or his son. Of course the Slate
ought not to complain about any
thing of this sort, because we should
submit (o anything for- the sake of
'good government"
And for the same reason complaint
should not be made about the An
son plantation. Your Democratic
board (I do not mean your return
ing board, but the penitentiary
board), made a contract for the
lease of about 2,500 acre of waste
land, consisting of rock, gullies and
overflow bottoms,, some old turned-
out fields and a considerable quantity
of growing wood. The best thing
about it i the wood. It stood right
thkk. It was easy to cut a man of
your die and build properly dealt
with by lav and duly disciplined,
could cut two or three oord a day,
bat wbil we cut the wood we can
not cut the railroads on Jreigbt; con
sequently when we are cutting wood
wo aro working for tho railroads and
thereby making a fusion with you
and the other managers of tho Dem
ocratic party and probably afsint
ing to enlarge your campaign fund,
This contract provides that the
State mirv buy this property for
about, as I remamber it, (25,000,
but the contract made the State pay
and is now making the Stato pay by
way ot reut, every yiar nearly si x
per cent on forty thousand dollars
I am in forniod, and I believe that
it was valued for taxation- at some
four or five thousand dollar. when
the Stato took hold of it. I am fur
ther informed, and I fully believe
that it could have been bought for
six or seven thousand dollars. I
am further informed, and believe,
that it wai not at that time paying
a net interest or income at u per
cent, on five thousand dollurs.
Those figures may not be probably
accurate, but since you are after in
formation, suppose you search the
taxJists for the years 1895 and 1896,
and suppose you get some state
ments, or estimates, as to tho net
rents that it was paying in those
years. 1 could get them it l had
tho timo. I suppose that you have
the time and the campaign fund. It
is the opinion of most of the far
mers of Anson county that this was
another ease of a Democratic job put
upon the State for the sake of "good
government."
Then, again, there nos the Castle
Ilayne property. Your party had
this property, rented, or leased.
Your party rented out tho convicts
to the North Carolina Phosphate
Company, which had them digging
for phosphate rock. Instead of col
lecting the money for the rent ot the
convicts, your crowd took the notes
of the phosphate company.
Tho individual stockholders of
this phosphate company were re
puted rich ; they ore so regarded
how. You took the paper of the
phosphate company without ever
having obtained the endorsement or
security of those rich stockholders,
who wore really getting tho labpr of
the convicts for themselves. When
the people dispensed with your "good
government", you dumped upon us
some sixteen thousands of dollars of
worthless paper of this insolvent
corporation.
There are three other plantations,
on the Capo Fear that have been
rented by the present management
for the cultivation of rice. Two of
these places were rented from Mr.
Butters, one' of them for 1500
and the o:her for 1350 a year. One
of them was rented from
Mr. Borden of the Navassa Gua
no Company, for some f 300 or 1350.
I am told that some slanderers
have already circulated the report
that Governor Russell owns these
places,' or has some interest in them.
In this thcro is no truth. The gov
ernor bad no interest whatever in
these properties. I am reliably in
formed that' there are responsible
parties who would be glad enough
to take those three plantations from
the State at an advance on the rent
which the State is paying. Suppose
you send out some' of your heelers
and find somebody who will give us
one-half tit one-tbird Tif Ihe-rent
which we are paying for the Halifax
fit nn and the Anson farm.
You want to know .about tho sales
of cotton of the crop oi 1897. It
would give me pleasure to answer
this or any other of your questions j
to any man who asked them in good
faith and for an honest purpose, so
far as I have the knowledge or
means of acquiring it. I shall not
trouble myself, however, or my
bookkeeper,: to answer you, but if
you want to find out how much cot
ton was sold from the crop of 1897
and what price it brought, and
whether or not it brought its value,
you can ask the men who bought it
and the men who handled it About
800 bales was sold by my predeces
sor to Arnold Borden, of Goldsboro.
This was from the Roanoke Farms. !
About 270 bales was sold from the
Anson Farm before I came in. The
purchasers were Wadesboro cotton
buyers. I sold about 1,400 bales to
Barbee ic Co., of Raleigh, and 600
bales to Barbae & Co. and Johnson
& Thompson, of Raleigh. The books
of these gentlemen will show what
they paid, and they know about the
quality and value. " They can tell
yon if they cboone. The peniten
tiary books also show all those trans
action, all of which you will find
embodied in toy printed report at
the end of the present fiscal year.
I am not aware that these data have
east been made public in advance
of the printing of the report of the
operations of the penitentiary. -
Now, since yea have o anach lore
and affection for the interrogation
mark, suppose yon take a look at a
the food para,
wbelaseat aad delicto.
Absolutely Pur
homi hkiwi rotwi oo,, htw vowc
few of them, " As you are asking
questions of mo I propose to ask
some of you. '
What do you know about the six
thousand dollars of Stanly county
bonds, and tho eight thousand dol
lars of Wilkes county bonds lhat
rwore unloaded on the Univorsity of
North Carolina, resulting in o loss of
fourteen thousand dollars to the
University and tho taxpayers of the
State. All men know that these
bonds were worthless. Who sold
them to Chapel Hill? The Rich
mond & Danville Railroad company
(that is the Southern Railway com
pany) is supposed to havo gotten
the bonds? They wero sold to the
University at about 88 or 90 cents.
Did tho money go to tho original
holder, the Richmond &. Danville
Railroad company?,. If not, who
got it? Did anybody purchase them
from tho origin.il holder? If so,
who was it? And what was the
price paid ? This whole thinir was
done by the Democratic manage
ment in tho days of '-good govern
inont." Our poor old University
must struggle on and stagger under
the loss. Who put tho loss upon
her ? Were they fusionists ? Now,
stand up and answer like a man.
Wero they fusionists ?
You wore chairman of tho Demo
cratic commiltco in 1892. How
many votes did your party steal in
the election of 1892? As to the
negro vote, you need not mention
them in your schedule, tell us how
many white men your party robbed
of their suffrages that year.
How many of your secret circulars
did you circulate among the election
rogues who held the ballot boxes in
1892? How many of your secret
circulars hove you got left over?
The Populist and Republican com
mittees are running short of them.
How man will yoirturnish for use
as souvenirs m mo present cam
paign? What do you know about the
oyster fraud cases ? Were you one
of the lawyers who tried to get these
claims paid out. of tho State treas
ury? If so, how much were you to
get as your part of the swag? If
you wore ono of the lawyers who
were tho others, and how much
wero they to got?
The Democratic convention of
1896 declared for Bryan and free
silver. How many days before the
assembling of tho Democratic con
vention was it when you, being a
ClevelanfLflflicyJiQld erat jl our or
five thousand dollar ea4ary,'printed
in the Washington Post that North
Carolina would certainly . Ie for
Cleveland and gold? ,
One more question. You are now
clamoring about white man's gov
ernment and negro rule. It has
been time and time again publicly
charged that the Democrats of
Craven county fused with a faction
of the Republicans and put out a
coalition ticket along in the cightitu
on which was tho name of ono or
moro negroes. How many of them
were thcro ? What wero the names
of thoso negroes? How many
times did you rote for them? I
should not havo thought you would
have done it. '
Another question. You went to
COnffrese from tho Black district
now represented by ono George H.
Whitfj colored, whose majority
over two candidates was 1,232.
Did you get in lijrclection or by
ciphering?
One more question. If you suc
ceed in defeating Bryan in 1900,
do you expect to get your old office
or a better one? .Are' you hoping
for Ransom and Cleveland or Ran
som and McKinley to do better by
you next time) Vance is dead
and can no longer binder your con
firmation. ' Yours truly,
J. W. MawBoaxa.

INSURANCE !
I wish to call tho attention of insurers in Alamance county .
to the fact that the Burlington Insurance Agency, established in
1893 by tho late firm of Tate & Albright, is still in the ring. '
There is no insurance agency in North Carolina with better :
facilities for placing large lines of insurance, that can give low-"
er rales or better indemnity. Only first-class companies, in every
branch of tho business, find a lodgement in my office. , With
a practical experience of more than ten years, I feel- warranted
in soliciting a share of the local patronage. I guarantee full
satisfaction in every instance. Correspondence solicited upon -all
matters pertaining to insurance
I am making a sccialty of Life Insurance and will make
it to tho interest of all who desiro protection for their families
or their estates, or who wish to make absolutely safo and profit-'
able investment, to confer with me before giving their applica-:-tions
to other agents. . n .
