ATTENTION CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Senator Prltchard has put
through congress a bill pension
ing the men who deserted you In
the hour of danger, and went ever
and Joined the enemy. He places a
premium on dishonor. He is the
Rewarder of Iniquity! Do you like
him?
NOSE BUT A FAIR ELECTION DE
Tnere is some "band stand" talk
on the part of some ol the f'Lily
Whiles" here that the Democrats will
endeavor to prevent a fair election in
this county. The complamers theoo
s' lves know that there is no disposition
on the part of the Demo
crats to prevent anything of the kind,
and all this "flourish" of writing com
plaining letters to the Raleigh Post is
only done for the purpose of arousing
sympathy. They see that they are go
ir g to be beaten out of their boots, and
aic only grabbing at straws.
Regarding tht "complaint" sent the
Raleigh Post that Mr. C. K. Cooke,
the Registrar for Louisburg precinct,
h.d refused to allow the Republicans
tu inspect ths registration- book, ws
are authorized by Mr. Cooke to state
this accusation is false. He did not
reiuse to allow Mr. Harris to inspect
the books, but he did refuse to
turnish him a copy of the books. Mr.
Cooke claims, and is backed up by
the opinions of the best lawyers in the
county, that the law does not require
that a copy of the Registration books
b.- furnished to any ons. He further
says that he proposes to fill the posi
tion of Registrar as the law directs,
and that the attempts at "bull dozing"
on the part of the Boss "Lily Whites"
shall not deter him from doing what
he believes to be his duty.
Every Registrar in Franklin county
should do his duty as the law directs,
and allow no amount of "bull-dosing"
to keep thesa from doing so.
The Democrats want notbisg more
thai a fair slsctioB awl Dels they pro
pose to have regardless sf threats frsm
any one.
There is nothing which more nearly touches evetr. fatally In. Franklin
county than the administration of the public school. There is notaiog that
counts more in the progress of a people, and it importance cannot be judged
by .to day or to morrow but most be measured in generation. ' if soy money
is to be expended carefully and judjcioaslv, it is the money that goes' to the
maintenance and equipment of these schools, ad it is the right and. tb dy
of the voters of Franklin county to take into consideration .the record ofaov
party in such an important department. , - "
It would almost seem that late had fixed the record of -the . past six years
with a view to a comparison by the people. From the Stale Superintendent's
report it appears that in the years 1897, '98 and '99, the schools of Frank
lin county were managed by a Board of Education which cooiated of Jobs
F Mitchell. Chairman, and T. D. Farrar aod B. F. Person, (col The
V W
County Superintendent was B. S. Mitchell, brother of the Chaircaea, aod it
can therefore be called the Mitchell administration.
Since then, in 1900, '01 and '02, the Board has consisted of John ILUi
zell, Chairman, John C. Winston, and L. N. Williams for the first two years,
aod R. S. Foster for 1902. The Superintendent hs been R. B. White,
Some very interesting facts appear in the State .Superintendent's report lo
regard to the years of the Mitchell administration. For instance, in 1898,
Average salary of white male teachers $1303
colored " $14 69.
In other words a negro teacher was paid m ire thn the whit uno.
The Democratic record for last year is very d ff.renl :
Average salary of white teachers, a8 55.
" colored $zo 15.
Which do the white people of Franklin county like betier ?
Here is another :
Paid to white schools in 1899,
" colored
Compare the Democratic record for 1901 :
Paid to white schools in 1901,
" colored
Which do the people want, an administration that gives to colored schools
more than to white,-or one which gives nearly double to the people who pay
the taxes t
But take the whole record. In the three years of the Mitchell administra-.
tion, the total apportionments to the two races are as follows :
To white schools, $14,430.00.

NEW REGISTRATION.
We wish io impress upon all that
the law requires an entirely new regis
tration this year, and it therefore is
not necessary for those who have moved
from one county or township ts an
other to have a certificate from their
former township or county. The law
requires that the registration books
everywhere shall be open for the regis
tration of voters from nine o'clock a.
m. on Thursday, Oct. the 2nd, till
sunset on Saturday, Oct. the ajth,
and must be kept open on every work
ing day during the days of registra
tion from 9 o'clock till sunset, closing
for registration at sunset on Saturday,
October the 25th.
The registrars are required to keep
the books open at the polling places
of their precincts on each Saturday
during the time they are required to
be kept open, 4th, nth, 18th, and
25 h, but on all other days registrars
can be where it is convenient for vot
ers. White men can register under the
grand-father clause of the constitution
and there seems to be a disposition
among Democrats throughout the State
to register under this clause, consider
ing this to be the roll of honor. It is
to ie hoped that all illiterate white
men will come forward and register
unt'er this clause, as all can do, there
by showing that the pledges of the ad
vocates of the amendment are made
go. d. Negroes who register at all
rnuit register under the educational
clause, except those who can prove
that they are descendants of free ne
groes, (if there are any such) and free
negroes were those who could .vote be
fore 1835 when an amendment to the
constitution disfranchised them.
Registrars should remember that
they are the sole judges of the ability
to read and write, of all who offer to
register under the educational clause;
and the law requires that they shall
be both able to read and to write any
sections of the constitution, and those
who apply for registration under this
section will not be entitled to register,
soless tho registrar, after examination ,
snail aeside that lie can do both. No
Difference in favor of whites,
Which do the people want, a difference in favor of whites of only $655.00
sr ose of -$6,145. ?
And yet the Republican League has had something to say about taxing
whites for negro education and at the same time nominated for the Legisla
ture the man who was bead of the Board of Education wnen,tbts record
was made.
But outside the favoritism shown to the negro schools by the Mitchell ad
ministration, there are other facts which are passing strange io view of chargr
of Democratic extravagance. The Constitution ot North Carolina has all along
required that the public schools should be run 16 weeks every year. Notice
the record in the years of Fusion control :
Average term in 1897, 12.10 weeks; io 1898, 12 07; in 1899, 14 weeks
Total during Mitchell's administration, 38. 17 weeks. This makes an aver
age term for each year of 12.7s weeks.
Notice the difference between this and the Democratic ad mioist ration:
Average term in 1900, 16.40 weeks; io 1901, 15.25; In 1902, 16.70 weeks.
Total for Democratic administration, 48 35 weeks.
This gives an average term of 16.12 weeks for every year of Democratic
control, nearly four weeks longer than the term of the Fusion isu. Further
more it was not done by an increase ot the school ui, for the rate is the same
now as then, and with the exception of one year, the money at the disposal
of the Board has been practically the same. As a matter ol fact the Demo
cratic administration has given better and longer schools and run them at
less expense as will appear from the following statement :
The total expenditures of the-Mitchell administration amounted to $31,.
is 1.55, with which they gave a total of 38.17 wetks of school, makiog etch
week cost the county $815.34. The total expenditures of the Democratic
Board for all purposes have been $34,832 74 wirtrwhich they gave s total o
48.35 weeks, making each week cost $720.42. 'llierefore a week of Demo
cratic schools cost $94.92 less than a week of Fusion schools. Aod If thvs
is multiplied by the number ot weeks, it will be seen that there was a total
saving to the county of $4,589.38.
All expenditures are included in the above and when consideration is had
to the fact that the Democrats built twice as many schoolhouses and estab
lished five Rural Libraries, spent more for needed repairs, and took an ac
curate census each year, the saying is all the larger. Furthermore they in
creased the salary of white teachers from $23 to $28 55 per month. These
facts render the showing alHhe more noteworthy and give to every hooet
man food for serious thought when he considers bow be shall vote The
schools have lieen better and better patronised. Under the Mitchell admin
istratton the enrollment was 46 per cent, and under the Democratic it was
55 per cent. The average attendance under the Democratic administra ion
was also 10 1-2 per cent larger. All these things have been done by the
Democratic administration: better attendance, belter schools, better salaries
to white teachers, better equipment, terms nearly a month longer, twice
many houses built, and at the same time $4,589.38 has been, saved to the
county. The money has been divided with a jast and proper regard to the
differences between the two races. The record is open to the people. Which
do they like?
