Brutally Treated Sworn Statement of
Good Men How Can True Southerners
Vote for This Kahid South Hater ?
The Giles County Democrat, of
Pulaski, Term., prints the following
relative to the despicable doings ot
Gen. J. B. Weaver, the People's
party candidate for the presidency,
while in command of the federal army
post at that Dlace during the latter
part of the civil war :
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Gen. Weaver, while in command
at Pulaski in January, 1864, issued
an order to Charles C. Ahernathv.
John H. Newbill, Robert Rhodes and
others that they pay into his hands
$1 ,000 for the maintenance of refugees
(meaning negroes and renegades
from Alabama). This order was
accompanied by a threat that, if the
money was not paid, they and their
families would be sent South and
their property given to said refugees.
All of these parties are dead now and
were over sixty years old when that
order issued. Can any Southern
man vote for such a heartless wretch ?
THE COTTON TWIST ROBBERY.
A man by the name of C. W.
Witt sold Mr. Jasper Cox a very
poor man two thousand pounds of
bacon, for which he received the
cash. Mr. Cox took the bacon to the
cotton mills in Lawrence county and
traded it for cotton twist. This he
carefully stowed away in the loft of
his little cabin, thinking that it would
assist him in purchasing a little home
after the war, as he was very poor
with a large family and had no home.
Weaver learned though some source
this gentleman had the cotton twist
and sent a detachment of soldiers to
the house and took possession of it,
and shipped it to Iowa for his own
use.
This cotton twist was worth at the
time it was stolen, $2,000.
Jasper Cox is living in Giles coun-
ty.
ROBCERY OF HOGS AND TURKEYS.
John P. Williams, a poor but high
ly esteemed farmer in Giles county,
had twenty-five fat hogs, which at
that time were worth ten "dollars per
hundreds gross, and a lot of turkeys.
Weaver, in person, took a file ot
soldiers out to Williams' place and
made the soldiers shoot every hog
on the place, and had them brought
to camp. When Williams asked
for a voucher Weaver said, "I don't
give rebels in the South vouchers, I
would rather furnish rope to hang
every d n one of them." Mr. Wil
liams is still living, and will swear to
the above if necessary.
The hogs were valued at $750.
The turkeys belonged to Mrs.
Williams, and she begged to have
them spared, but the heartless wretch
had them all killed and taken to
headquarters for his own special use,
remarking to Mrs. Williams that
she had no business being tl
of a rebel.

to part with it, he charged him irom

he put into his own pocket.
BARTERING IN PASSES.
Weaver made it a practice to
charge our citizens ten. cents each
lor passes to come into and go out
of the Federal lines. This money he
put Into his own pockets. This pass
reads as follows :

Commander.
ROBBING AND IMPRISONING PROMI
NENT CITIZENS.
Weaver had a number of law abi
ding citizens arrested and put in
jail and then charged them from one
hundred to five hundred dollars for
releasing them. Several of the gen-
l tlemen who were put in jail and paid
the money are still living, among
them is Dr. J. C. Roberts, one of the
most highly respected citizens in
Pulaski.
The following are a few of the
gentemen in Giles cbunty, from
whom Weaver coerced money at the
i point of the bayonet. They were all

The above parties were old men,
staying at home and interfering with
no one. Several of them had borne
their muskets and followed the stars
and stripes through the Creek, Flor
ida and Mexican wars. They are
all dead except Dr. Wm. Battle,
who is now living here and substan
tiates the above :

Giles County. j
fhis day personally appeared be-
fore me Dr. William Battle, to me
known as a man of high standing
and credibility, and says that he was
a citizen of Pulaski, Tenn., during the
rebellion and has been ever since.
That he was personally acquainted
with J. B. Weaver, who as Colonel of
United States troops was in control
of the U. S. forces stationed in Pulas
ki, Tenn.. in iS6 and 186a. That
said J. B. Weaver was very oppres-
sive and extortionate upon the ciii-
Izens ot said town and vicinity. That
said commandant, . B. Weaver, is-
sued a military order requiring the
above parties and perhaps others to
pay over to him a large sum for the
alleged purpose of supporting refu-
gees then in his lines? This order 1
was accompanied with the threat that ,
11 not complied with immediately
that the parties on whom the demand
was made would be sent South. Un
der this threat affiant paid over to j
said . 13. Weaver the sum ot one
hundred dollars, and affiant verily
believes the other parties on whom
the demand was made paid the
amounts required of them.

Abernathy, hasthe original receipts
which Weaver gave to his father for
the $250 taken from him.
Weaver had David K. Cox arrest
ed and imprisoned until his friends
paid $500 for his release. Cox is
dead but his son, E. R. Cox is liv-
jing here and will substantiate the
above, so will Major J. B. Stacy and
Col. S. E. Rose, friends of Cox who
furnished part of the money.
He had John P. Williams, an old
Mexican soldier, arrested and im
prisoned until he paid $500. Mr.
Williams borrowed the money from
J. P. May, President Peoples' Na
tionalBank, Pulaski.
Hon. Pleasant Smith, and old citi
zen and former Mayor of the city,
was here all of the war. He says
Weaver was the worst man that was
ever in this country, and that every
Southern man who votes for him
should be disfranchised.
D. T. Harrison, an old citizen of
Pulaski, Tenn., was here while Col.
J. B. Weaver was commander of the
post. He states of all men he ever
knew Weaver was the worst that he
seemed to have a perfect hatred for
the Southere people, and took a de
light in abusing, persecuting and rob
bing them that he had no respect or
feeling for old defenseless men, women
and children. Mr. Harrison also
states that a Mr. Lanier, of Nashville,
had given him (Harrison) $1,935
with which to buy some cotton, but
as soon as Weaver found it out he
had Harrison arrested and took $935
of the money, and then added false
hood to robbery by reporting to
Mr. Lanier that Harrison had made
way with the money.

conduct.
AFR AID OF THE TRUTH.
fhe letter which the Journal print- j
ed a few days ago from Mrs. Annie
E, Hall, of Tallapoosa, giving an ac
count of the brutality of J. B. Weaver
afc Pulaski, Tenn., when he was in
command there, has been very widely
copied. It is the testimony of a lady
?'h?ived Pulaski when its people
had the misfortune to fall into the
hands of Weaver. Though, she was
only a little girl then, Weaver's
cruelty to her relatives and friends
made a lasting impression on her
mind. The reproduction in North
Carolina of her letter to the Journal
has evoked the following correspon
dence :
Mount Olive, Sept. 1, '92.
Mrs. Annie E. Hall, Tallapoosa, Ga :

! cigh Chronicle a letter taken from

j E. Hall. The Third Party, and also
j the Republicans, pretend to believe
j that there is no such person and that
the letter is a lie gotten up by the
1 editor for capital only. If you re
ceive this letter please answer at once
and state whether or not you wrote
the letter in question.
Very respectfully,
I ames R. Hatch.
To this letter Mr. L. C. Hall, the
husband of Mrs. Annie E. Hall, has
replied as follows :
Tallapoosa, Ga., Sept. 3, '92.
Mr. las. R. Hatch, Mt. Olive, N. C
Dear Sir : Replying to yours of,
the 1 st, addressed to Mrs. Annie E.
Hall (my wife), I will say that she
wrote the letter referred to by you
and will add, by her request, that the
"half has not been told" in reference
to the infamous doings of General
Weaver while in Pulaski, Tenn. The
English language is insufficient to ex
press the feelings of one who has
passed through such an ordeal. You
can say to the Third Party brethren
that my wife's testimony is
not a "drop in the bucket" of what
can be proved by living witnesses
now in Pulaski. We do not wish
any notoriety, but when such a fiend
as Weaver proposes to come South
and ask our people to support him
we must speak, and every charge
made is from personal knowledge
only. Respectfully yours, etc.,
L. C. Hall.
The letter of Mr. Hatch shows that
the Third Party is beginning to real
I ize what a load it has to carry in
i Weaver. Its campaieners are evi-
' dently denying out and out that j
! Weaver committed the atrocities j
i which are charged against him
But
they can't get away from the facts.
There are many living witnesses to
the truth of all that has been alleged
concerning Weaver's conduct at Pu
laski. The Journal has taken ar
interest in arriving at the facts in this
case and is gratified to know it has
aided the public in arriving at a true
estimate of the Third Party candidate '
for President. Atlanta Journal
Said General Weaver, the Third
Party candidate for President :
"I don't give rebels in the South
vouchers. I would rather furnish

them."

AS TO POLITICS.
Rev. Albert E. Brown, who was
nominated by the Prohibition con
vention on Saturday, August 13, for
one of Buncombe's representatives in
the Legislature, has written to Coun
ty Chairman T. C. Westall, declining
the honor. Asheville Citizen.
Mr. W. R. Henry, of Henderson
in writing to a friend says : "Yes, the
Third party people are running a
negro, black as ink, on their ticket for
Register of Deeds. And more than
that, third party men (7 of them I think
it was) tried to elect a negro county
commissioner."
Mr. Carver, the nominee of the
Third party in this county for Regis
of Deeds, has placed his resignation
in the hands of the executive com
mittee of that party. It has been
accepted and a mass meeting has
been called to fill the vacancy.

The Democrats of Sampson county

ard and C. E. Daniel ; for sheriff, J.
M. Spell ; for Register of Deeds, J.
A. Beaman ; for coroner, Dr. A. D.

and Sampson will roll up a handsome
Democratic majority in November

W. R. Williams, who was nomi

Massey, There were about 200 men
who took part in the convention.
Moore than half of them were Re
publicans and several of them par
ticipated in the Republican conven
tion Saturday before. The ticket is a
weak one.
When R. B. Glenn, Democratic
candidate for Presidential elector,
was speaking at Macon, in Warren
county, a few days ago, an incident
occurred which shows the temper
and determination of Third party
leaders During his speech Mr.
Glenn asked if any one in the crowd
who belonged to the Third would be
willing to see the State once more
turned over to the Republican party.
Mr. Squire, who lives in the county
replied that for himself he would
"rather see every office, from Presi
dent to constable, filled with the
blackest negroes in the State than to
see the present plutocratic Demo
crats in power." Upon this a lady
arose and said : "Mr. Glenn, do not
notice this man. He unworthy of
your notice."
Governor Holt made a speech at
Graham, Alamance county, last Satur
day, and a gentleman who heard it
tells the Observer it was a hummer.
The Governor was among his own
people, and spoke without restraint
He said the Third party crowd boy
cotted him at the Democratic State
Convention and had passed around
the word that Holt must not be
nominated, because he was opposed
to the farmers ; "and yet," said he.
I "I make more wheat and corn and
i oats and grass than all the men On
I the Third party ticket put together."
The Governor said furthfr that just
1 after the adjournment of the Third
j party State convention last week he
met Col. Harry Skinner and asked
him how it was that he had been
treated so, and Skinner answered that
he had been turned down "because
the damned fools didn't have sense
enough to understand him.

A FEW LINKS.
BY JAY D. BHE.
I belong to the Farmers Alliance, and
I'm a member good and true;
I live up to its teachings and keep the
obligations, too.
And I am a good Democrat, like I al-
used to be,
And where the Third Party comes in
I can't exactly see.
I hear 'em argue they are tired of law
yers and doctors, you know ;
And they thought the poor old farmer
in politics ought to have a show.
But if you will watch the ticket from
Governor clean on through,
You will find the farmers on it, very,
very few !
Now there's Harry Skinner, a skin
ner by name and by trade ;
He might have been on the ticket but
for a little speech he made.
You know he is a nice fellow, a friend
to the farmers true ;
He charges them sixty per cent, and
deals in futures, too.
Then they put up Dr. Exum a man
well known to us all
He has nothing to recommend him,
but an extra amount of gall !
Now he is quite a big farmer, and has
some powerful steers,
But he won't be our next Governor ;
he'll have to wait some years.
And then there's Mari-ann Butler, and
"So-so Wilson, too ;
They stand around and boss the job
and tells 'em what to do.
And likewise Billy Barnes, the "Spec
ial Informer" man ;
He fills his paper full of lies and helps
'em all he can,
By the rankest kind of prejudice, and
ideas vague and new,
To drag down honest people and prin
ciples old and true. w
And now look at the small fry, the pig
mies in the band,
The disgruntled politicians of this fair
Southern land.
First comes Dr. Freeman, the greatest
of the small ;
For ignorance and cheek he really
beats 'em all.
And there's Bro. Hoover, the parson
of the crowd ;
He tells 'em of their grievances and
talks it long and loud.
The others I'll not mention for they are
only tools ;
They'll wake up in November, to find
that they were tools
To lend their names and fortunes, to
a dirty Republican quirk
To break the solid South, but they'll
find it wouldn't work.
Wait ! hold on a minute ; I thought I
was done,
Hold your nose, begad ! for I have left
out one !
Hold it tight, for it is a most terrible
stench,
Look out! for I'm going to mention,
"Fe I." Finch.
Excuse me, I'll pass him by as quickly
as 1 can ;
But still he's a fair example ot the
Third Party man.
And now that I know the ticket, and
know the leaders, too,
I shall stick to Democracy and vote as
1 used to do .

be heartily congratulated that by the
final settling to the Third party of
these two men it has gotten rid of two
cases of Simon pure Judas Iscanpt

FALL OPENING
At-:-Headquarters!
Tailor Made Suits !
We would ask your especial attention to
our line of young mens' and youths' tailor
made suits. We have the largest stock and
the lowest prices. All we ask is a comparri-son.
Winter Shoes !
Our line of shoes has been benefitted by
the failure of one of the largest manufacturers
in Baltimore. They had to have money and
we bought them at half price. Our custom
ers will get the full benefit.
Dry Goods !
We are now opening the largest and most
complete stock of Dry Goods we have ever car
ried, and it was all bought on a 6 cent cotton '
basis. If you want good goods and at prices
to suit hard times and 6 cent cotton, we can
please you.

OH! NO: YOU WON'T.
Mr. John Nichols, being interview
ed, says :
"Of course we wiii elect Cheatham
in the Second, if he is not counted
out by the Democrats. However, I
expect to see the greatest Republican
gains in the white counties. As the
Western part of the State develops its
manufactories, the w'r.lom of Repub
lican protection will be seen and the
party will gain in strength. I do
not look for an increase in the Re
publican vote in the counties East of
o .,L.;.t, !.- tlic mannfartiirinfT in-
terest will develop more rapidly in
the West."
If you donot look for an increase
in the Republican vote East of Ral
eigh, how can you count on Cheat
ham's 'election in a District -Demo
cratic by i,6oo majority, Mr. Nichols ?
Cheatham will be beaten fairly and
squarely by tin t majority, Mr. Nich
ols, and you can put The Advance
down as a prophet.
