A "Party Worker" Who was

ning is now for Mr. Craig
Mr. Craig's Splendid Work
for the Party A Self -Made
Man Mr. Kitchin Has Had
His Hand in "the Chest" for
12 Years.
To th Editor of Th Robesonian:
In the beginning of the contest
for the nomination for Govenor,
while I had not committed my
self to any one, I was inclined to
support Mr. Kitchin, because I
liked him personally, and was
not as well acquainted with the
other two candidates. After see
ing the kind of campaign Mr
Kitchin is making, and also after
fully considering the debt which
the Democratic party in the east
owed to Mr. Craig, I concluded
some time ago to support Mr.
Craig for the nomination.
Mr. Kitchin's speech at Lum
berton was only a fair sample
of the kind of campaign he is
making all over the btate. He is
against everybody who is not
for him, and not only is he
against everybody who is not
for him, but he makes it a point
to try to insinuate sinister or cor
rupt motives to those who es
pouse the cause of any one
of the other candidates. He has
recently added to his list of those
to be criticised and abused, for
not being in favor of his nomina.
tion, ex-Governor Aycock and
Senator Simmons. I can see no
impropriety in ex-Governor
Aycock and Senator Simmons
stating that they are for
Mr. Craig, if they are for him,
and that they should state their
reasons. No men in North Caro
lina, who were connected with
Noth Carolina politics at the
time, are in better position to
I say who perfomed more valiant
services in the campaigns of 1898
and 1900. They were certainly
the leaders in those great politi
cal battles, and when recently
attempts have been made to dis
parage the party service of Mr.
Craig, it was nothing but just
that ex-Governor Aycock and
Senator Simmons should state
the facts within their knowledge
as to what services Mr. Craig
has performed for the Democrat
ic party. This is all they have
done.
I have heard it from those
who were in college with Mr.
Craig, some of whom now live in
Robeson county, that he is en
tirely a self-made man. His
father, a poor Baptist preacher,
died when Mr. Craig was a
small boy, and his mother moved
to Chapel Hill and opened a
boarding house, for the purpose
of making a living, and at the
same time sending her son to
college. He graduated there with
high honors, although he was
handicapped, on account of hav
ing to help his mother, and at
the same time trying to do his
college work.
We all know, and can bear out
the statements of both ex-Governor
Aycock and Senator Simmons
in saying, that Mr. Craig has
done valiant service for his par
ty since his college days were
over. He is now in this campaign
without the money, furnished
him by public office, or other
wise, with which to carry on his
campaign as his competitors
! are able to carry on theirs, and
he has to depend upon the loyal
ty of his Democratic friends, and
to gratitude for his public
service, for his support in this
campaign. His chief competitor,
Mr. Kitchin, upon his own ad
missions, has been in Congress
12 years, and now only quits
voluntarily with the purpose of
running for the office of Gover
nor. He has had his hand in the
"public chest" for 12 years, ac
cording to his own statements,
and in salary and in perquisites,
he has been able to draw from
the "chest" perhaps over $75,000
in this 12 years.
If there is any gratitude in the
hearts of the eastern Democrats,
it would seem that the nomina-

Newbern Sun.
As the campaign waxes warm
the people are beginning to take
notice of some things that were
about to be overlooked if not
forgotten. The Sun has repeat
edly referred to the attempt of
Mr. Kitchin to fuse the Demo
cratic party with Marion Butler !
and his coterie of pie-hunters in
1898. Some notice has been
given to it by other papers. In
reply to a letter by Mr. Charles
W. Tillett, of Charlotte, written
in the interest of Mr. Kitchen's
candidacy, Mr. M. C. Freeman,
a farmer of Richmond county,
writes an open letter, from
which the following extract fits
in very nicely here:
"And, Mr. Tillett, you men
tion the fact that Mr. Kitchin has
not been in Mr. Craig's congres
sional district to make a single
speech. I believe that is a fact
and if my memory serves me
right I don't think he put him
self to much trouble about going
up into Mr. Craig's district in
1896 and 1898-and I don't re
member to have heard very
much about Mr. Kitchin being
down in my county or down in
the east. The fact of the busi
ness is I believe they say he was
in the fifth district a-running for
Congress and if my memory
serves me right I think he has
been up in the fifth district in
in every campaign since, making
himself very conspicuous a-running
for Congress. But what I
want to know is, Did Mr.
Kitchin try to fuse with "Mary
Ann" in 1896? It's been charg
ed that he did, and he has not
denied it. If he didn't you tell
him he ought to deny the charge.
If he did, then I say that no
Democrat in North Carolina
ought to vote for him until he
confesses and represents for his
sins."
Mr. Freeman tells a part of the
story very truthfully; but he
does not tell all of it. The truth
is that Mr. uutier iusea
with Kitchin in 1896, and
gave him the Populist vote
against Mr. Settle, thereby
bringing about what is now
claimed as a brilliant Democratic
victory, but he did not fuse with
the other Democratic candidates
for Congress in that year, and
they were defeated. Just why
young Mr. Kitchin was selected
by Butler for fusion in 1896 we
do not know, but it may have
been on account of Captain Buck
Kitchin, who was Butler's first
lieutenant. Or it may have been
because our other candidates,
seeing how many negroes Butler
and his lieutenants had helped to
put in office, refused to fuse with
him!
But Mr. Kitchin's fusion rec
ord does not end with his elec
tion over Settle in 1896. In the
year 1898, when the Democratic
party met in convention at Ral
eigh, Butler had had a row with
Pritchard, and he came to the
Democratic convention with the
stink of a thousand negro office
holders on him, and proposed to
fuse with us on the basis of di
viding the offices, etc. ad nau-
seum.
That proposition was referred
to the committee on resolutions.
It is known that short work
would have been made of it, but
for Mr. Kitchin. He was earnest,
urgent and insistent upon its ac
ceptance. He advanced many
arguments why it should be;
adopted, but the argument which
he pressed with greatest force
and persistency was that he had
been able to beat Settle and be
elected to Congress, while our
other candidates had lost, with
the aid of the populist vote.
That his district was about all we
had left if we did not fuse we
had no chance of winning in the
State and that he would lose his
district.
Well, the committee remem
bered those negroes, Butler and
his lieutenants had helped to put
in office, and they considered
that a victory, with Butler and
his lieutenats on top, would be
worse than a defeat, and they
refused to accept the advice of
Mr. Kitchin, and under the lead
of Simmons, Aycock, Glenn and
Craig Mr. Kitchin's "big four"
then opened fire on Russell
and Butler and their lieutenants,
and smote them hip and thigh,
ana there was weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
But Mr. Kitchin says that Sim
mons and Aycock and Glenn and
Craig, and their able and patriot
ic followers did not do it at al
that they do not deserve the
credit and the reward, if any is to
be given. The poll-holders, Mr.
Kitchin says, did it, and if there
is to be any reward it should go
to them. This is just what the
radicals have been saying,
contitue to say, never tire of say
ing. It is what Butler said and
is still saying. What thev
mean to charge is that we did
not carry the State in 1898, but
stole it! We Democrats have
always resented that statement
when made by Republicans.
Why should we endorse it
when insinuated by a Democrat?
It is a serious charge. It is not
a true charge. Whenever Re
publicans have made it we have
branded it as false. It is now for
th first time made by a Demo
crat, ?.nd that Democrat is a can
didate for the nomination of his
party for Governor!
If we nominate him will we
not have to admit the charge?
Does the Democratic party want
to nominate or elect a man Gov
ernor of North Carolina who in
effect says the poll-holders and
not the voters carried the elec
tion in 1898, and adopted the
amendment in 1900?
Nominate Mr. Kitchin after
this charge, and on a thousand
stumps in North Carolir.athe
Republican campaign orators
will in the coming campaign,
point the finger of scorn at us
and say: "You dare not deny it
for you nominated for Governor
the man who said it, and you
stand self-confessed!"

Commissioners and McLeod File
Affidavits in Reply to Appli
cation of Board of Audit and
Finance to Intervene and In
terplead. The application of the countv
board of audit and finance to in
tervene and interplead in the
suit of ex-Sheriff Geo. B. Mc
Leod against the county commis
sioners for a settlement of his
tax accounts for the year 1906
will be argued before Judge B.
t. .Long in Lumberton todav.
The affiidavit of Mr. A. B. Pear
sall, chairman of the board of
audit and finance, in this matter
was published in The Robesonian
last Monday. On Friday affida
vits were filed by J. W. Carter,
chairman of the board of com
missioners, and by ex-Sheriff
McLeod. These affidavits are
too lengthy to be published in
lull. Mr. Carter's affidavit is in
substance as follows:
Mr. Carter's Affidavit.
Affiant is informed and believes
that Col. N. A. McLean, who
represented Robeson county in
the Senate of 1907, introduced
and caused to be passed the act
creating the board of audit and
finance and therein A. B. Pear-
sall, Graham McKinnon and J.
M. Butler were appointed mem
Ders ot said board, and the act
provided that upon the expira
tion ot the terms of office of such
i . j i
mem Ders meir successors were
to be elected by the Legislature,
That this board selected Col,
McLean as their attorney, al
though he had been attorney for
many ot the county officers whose
conduct in office was to be inves
tigated, and although he was
then counsel for many of the
county officers. That when the
board began its investigations
they were conducted entirely by
its counsel, and no person was al
lowed to be cross examined by
his counsel, but that the board of
audit and finance ruled that coun
sel for those examined could only
advise their clients as to their
constitutional rights to refuse to
answer certain questions; that the
stenographer was instructed as
to what testimony should be
taken down and that as a result
the testimony taken before the
board, upon which its findings
were made, was without any re
gard to the rights of the parties
whose conduct was being inves
tigated. That the investigations
were held not so much to obtain
the truth but to find something
upon which to base an attack up
on the commissioners and other
officials of the county, and that
this became known before the
conclusion of the invertigations
and the findings were discounted
on that account before they were
made known. That the findings
of the board were published and
filed, but the testimony was not
filed with the register of deeds
nor a copy furnished to the com
missioners, and that the com
missioners had to have same
copied from the records kept in
the office of the counsel for the
board of audit and finance at
their own expense. That the re
port of the board is devoted al
most entirely to an attack upon
the commissioners and ex-Sheriff
McLeod, contains many state
ments not supported by testimo
ny, many statements untrue and
misleading, many incorrect con
clusions of law; that the commis
sioners are charged with doing
many things which they have not
done, with violating may laws
which they have not violated;
that they are charged with vio
lations of law in doing things
which all other boards before
them have done with the sanc
tion and approval of Col. Mc
Lean, who was formerly coun
sel for the board of commission
ers; that the commissioners are
condemned for doing things
which no fair-minded set of men
would condemn them for doing.
That it is well known that the
board of audit and finance is en
tirely under the control of its
counsel and that the investiga
tion was conducted entirely ac
cording to his views and wishes,
with the result that the report
does injustice to the commission
ers, as set forth in the reply of
the commissioners, which reply-
is referred to for instances ol
such injustice.
That on February 29 the board
of audit and finance filed a re
port which purported to contain
a final statement of the accounts
of ex-Sheriff McLeod from March
19, 1906, to December 1, 1907,
and that prior to the time of fil
ing of this report the commis
sioners had not endeavored to
reach any settlements of the tax
accounts of ex- Sheriff McLeod
for the year 1906-07 for the rea
son that they were advised it
was the duty of the board of
audit and finance to furnish the
figures upon which such settle
ment could be made. That the
board of audit and finance seemed
to recognize that it was its duty
to furnish these figures, for ii
employed experts to examine iu
to the accounts, and they had
also employed another expert to
examine into the accounts of the
present sheriff before his settle
ment was due. That it was pro
vided in act creating the board
of audit and finance that it should
perform all the duties heretofore
periormed by the finance com
mittee, which had always furn
ished these figures. That upon
examining the report ol
the board of audit and fi
nance with a view to making
settlement with ex-Sheriil' Mc
Leod it was found that errors
and mistakes had been made to
such an extent that the said re
port was totally worthless and
unreliable as to the correct
amounts due by ex-Sheriff Mc
Leod to the county, some of
which alleged inaccuracies are
pointed out.
The efforts made to iret the
board of audit and finance to
meet with the commissioners and
assist in making settlement with
ex-Sheriff McLeod and the in
stitution of the suit by ex-Sheriff
McLeod, all of which has been
fully reported in The Robeso
nian, are then reviewed. Affiant
further says:
That it is true that the eom
misioners have taken no action
upon the report of the board of
audit and finance because it is
full of errors, and that it is not
the duty of the commissioners to
proceed against any one for
money due, but that this is the
duty of the board of audit and
finance; and that although that
board charges that several par
ties are indebted to the county,
it has not brought suit against
any of them. That certain at
torneys appeared at the time of
publishing replies to the charges
made against the commissioners
and ex-Sheriff McLeod for both
of them, but the matters then at
issue had nothing to do with the
settlement of the tax accounts.
That the commissioners have
made many efforts to make set
tlement with ex-Sheriff McLeod
and such settlement would have
been made had the board of
audit and finance performed its
duty under the law. That the
only purpose of 'this action is to
obtain a judicial determination
of the amounts due by ex-Sheriff
MCLeoa. l hat there is no un
derstanding or agreement in re
gard to the present suit. That

must rely upon the people t
sustain our work by giving . in
formation as to local conditions,
suggestions for our guidance.
Each individual can at least
aid us by making a contribution.
Will he not do so and interest
others in helping us too?
We wish our campaign hand
