How about it, Timothy?
To the Editor of (he Era :
Some weeks since, when the State
Executive Committee of the Re
publican party was in session, it is
rumored that Srferiff Lee gave a
written obligation, that if he did
not pay up his State and County
indebtedness by the 15th of July, he
would retire from the canvass, and
no longer remain a candidate for
Sheriff.
Within tho past week, I learn
that Sheriff Lee has declared that
no such promise is contained in his

Confederate soldiers were suffering
and ftehtincr and dying for the
J o w
cause which he declared was'right,
he was at home quietly enjoying
the huckleberries of his native coun
ty.
But we learn that Col. McK. was
not entirely satisfied to devote his
wholetimeto mustering the cripples
and the diseased ot which the militia
was composed, and so hesoughtand
obtained the position of Confiscation
Agent of the Confederate Govern
ment. He probably got this office
through the assistance of Mr. Geo.
Davis, then Attorney General to
the Confederacy, and who is now
num. who. I thinlr, possesses high
legal attainments, a cool and delib
erate judgment, and as a North Car
olinian, has at heart the purity- of
the Bench and the consistency and
dignity of the law.
In addition to this, your Jxcei-
lencv, to whom Western : North
Carolina has been ever very dear, is
aware that this portion of the State,
representing more than one-thiruof
the whole State, has no representa
tive on the Bench, though she has
furnished many men who would
honor the position and whose ap;
pointmeiit would be a source of
pride to our people.

num has no intimation of this let

and without consulting him. I

Carolinian to another, tor it is a l

see them gerrymandering Judicial with the yaikee creditor to collect
Districts in order to secure the elec
tion of Democratic Judges ? Do we
not see them nominating Judges in
regularly constituted Democratic
Conventions? Do 'we not see the
names of these nominees raised to
the masthead of Democratic- news
papers, and do wo not hear partt
zan appeals each day from Demo
cratic papers and orators to vote for
the regular Democratic candidates
forjudge?
Look at their candidates. Col.
McKay, of Sampson, in the Wil
mingtou uistrict,-1 was an open
syrapathzier If not a member of the
lawless and bloody Ku KIux or
ganizatlon, which by secret oath-
bound members, and by disguises,
and by scourgings,and by burnings,
aye, by assassination and murder,
strove to subvert all law and order
and establish in its stead tho crack
of the cruel whip, the assassin's
murderous pistol, and the unpro
voked stab from the murderer's
dagger. Is this man, fresh from
these scenes of lawlessness and
bloodshed, a fit man to sit in judg
ment on the lives and property of
his associates, or on those of his
late victims who barely escaped
with life from the partizan violence
of the murderous and murdering
klan? ..
Then there's John Kerr, the Dem
ocratic candidate in the 7th Dis
trict. Did he too not sympathize
with the hellish klan in their efforts
to destroy law and life? Was it
not in his town that Stephens was
murdered in the temple of justice?
Was it not in tho adjoining county
of Alamance that Outlaw was
brought into the Court House square
and there hung by the nock till he
the same debt a second time from
his home client,, and collects by dis
tress, even selling house and land
to make the money for the yankee
creditor.
But was not Col. McK. submit

he not "shaking hands ' ovor the

Some say, he will get it where Rob

say, that thing's played out since

his speech was received with great
enthusiasm by our friends, and much
chagrin and disepmfiture by our
political enemies.
Let our friends at Mr. Headen's
various appointments turn out and
hear him. He will confirm the
wavering, delight the "fire tried,"
and convince any fair minded Denv
ocrat who will listen. His clear
and forcible explanation of his op
position to: civil rights, so satisfac
tory in itself to both races, is suffi
cient to denominate him as a logi
cal and clear headed debater, pos
sessing excellent qualities of both
heart and mind.

Capt. J. J. Davis has been to

county that Mr. James II. Headen,
our candidate for Congress, was a

Chatham know Mr. Headen much

Then $250 00 from $908 25 would
leave an amount of $655 25 that he
would be in arrears. How is he to
raise that? Simple enough. He
has harped and blowed so much
over that "Fraud Commission Re
port." that it is quite plain. Sell
his vote. There is no other alterna
tive, for everybody knows Marsh
cannot boast of being a man of sur
plus means. Especially since he
compelled Uncle Phil Clinard and
other creditors to make comprom ises
that not much more than canceled
the interest.
It will be remembered that this
same Marshall ll. Pinnix, Jq.,
who now proposes to buy his election
was a candidate in 1872, and was
better than Mr. Davis does, and
they are not disposed to put much defeated by a gentleman much his

tempting to gull them with such
stories as the above.
We learn that the Democratic
Executive Committee of the Sev

Greensboro, last week, for the pur
pose of requesting Mr. F. N. Strud

the end that a lawyer might be
nominated for the office of Solicitor.
Mr. Strudwick declined to give way
for any gentleman of that profes
sion, and so the Democracy are in
a fix.

namely, the Hon. Jacob T. Brown.
Mr. Brown will defeat him again
on the next election day by an
increased majority, after which it is
to be hoped if he concludes to take
a trip to the Jfiedmont Springs
again, that he will have better suc
cess in returning. Poor Pinnix!
We can already see the epitaph that
