Why You Should Vote
The Republican Ticket
In November.
By A. Newman.
(Concluded from last week)
Is that not a great record for
Democratic Education? Just
think of it reader, over one hun
dred and sixty eight out of every
thousand people between the ages
of fifteen and twenty years who
cannot read and write: That is
the record of Democracy, and is
a record that will be found to
exist wherever democracy rules.
Another fact that stares de
mocracy in the face is that there
are more than five hundred less
school houses in North Carolina
than there were five years ago.
Districts have been united until
in some instances it is almost im
possible for children to attend
school on account of distance.
That, voter, is a democratic
record of Education.
County Matters
It is not National or Stare mat
ters that attracts the voter so
much as it is County matters.
That has a direct bearing on his
welfare. The democratic record
in Randolph County is unclean
to say the least. The ring will
promise one thing and do another
a fact that the people do not
need to be told about.
During the last campaign they
heralded broadcast the promise
that the new Court House would
be paid for when finished with
out issuing bonds, or raising the
tax, and it is a matter of history
how well they have kept that
promise. And now comes a
statement of the financial condi
tion of the County. That it was
nrenared to deceive the voters is
ulainlv evident. By whom it
was prepared is not known, but
it is the adopted child of the
vine Tfc shows that the Court
j. iii,.
Hcuse is paid for, very plainly,
Knt- it- likfwifl shows that there
u.,c fe9R I9i5.no borrowed with
tV Uk) w.
which to pay for it.
Futhermore it shows that there
has been the sum of $1,651.80
paid for interest, or more than
one third that which has actually
been paid on the debt. How
long voter will it take them to
pay for the new Court House at
that rate? We leave it for you
fimiro nut And as for the
IU llguiv "
tax not being raised we can only
cite you to that statemant that
appeared in the Courier, which
will speak more strongly tnan
words. Then too, compare your
last years receipt with those of
former years and then you can
draw your own conclusions.
The fact that the tax is higher
now than former years is a hard
dose for the Demmies to swallow
onH it. causes them to squirm and
sidestep to be sure, but for all
that figures speak for themsel
ves. The Ticket
The present Democratic ticket
is the adopted slate of the Court
House "ring" and went througn
the Convention on schedule time.
It will be noticed that the ticket
is composed of members of the
ring who take their turn in rota
tion. Hammond seems to have
' a monopoly on the Clerkship and
succeeds himself, with amazing
regularity, although there was
. several names before the Con
vpnt.ion. '
Hp has now served eight years
and is renominated for another
term, but he like the rest of the
pd to defeat at the
slave vv"' , , ,
hands of the voters at the next
election. u
The fact that old Soldiers have
been deprived of their pensions, I
j i.1 i.A i J
ana many more uirtuLeneu n 3
they did not vote the Democratic i
ticket will have its weight on the j
Clerkship and if present indica
tions point to anything it means
that there will be a Republican
Clerk after the eighth day of
November. When a party gets
in such sad straights that it will
adopt such methods for the sake
of a few voters it is in a pitiable
condition indeed. They even
went so far as to threaten an
old Soldier who was drawing a
federal pension, and we can
name the man if necessary.
When the Democratic Conven
tion met in Asheboro it put out
as its Candidates for the Legis
lature Rom Smith and T. J.
Finch, Mr. Smith was not pre
sent but friends of his assured
he Convention that he would
not run. Mr. Finch was present
and before and after he Was
nominated he told them plainly
that he would not run.
Things went on smoothly for
awhile but the ' 'ringmaster'
saw that he was going to have
to hunt up someone that would
fill the vacancy to the entire
satisfaction of the "ring" and so
he cast about him for suitable
men. Now reader, the name of
0. R. Cox was placed before the
convention and he told them that
he would positively not accept.
He was urged to accept the
nlao.p. but he told them no. Now
when the "ringmaster" began
looking for candidates his eye
naturally fell on O. R. Cox, (and
no doubt there was ample rea
son) It was no great matter to
persuade Mr. Cox into the be-
ipf that the people wanted him.
But it is quite a different propo
sition when they try to persuade
the people into the belief that
LTIEY want HIM. Already the
Court House orgin" has re
sumed its former methods of
misquoting the Republican speak
ers, but the people know too
mnoh ahnnt its methods to be
deceived by any such tactic
Democratic arguments are like
the Irishman's flea, when you
eo to put your finger on them
!pv nt-rt somewhere else. Thatn
is the reason tne party is iusiu
ground so rapidly in Randolph
county, you never know what to
expect.
The present Republican ticket
is one of which the people may
iustlv be proud. On it will be
found only fair minded, just and
honorable men, fully qualified to
till the position to which they
aspire. They will make a set
of officers of whom everyone
will be proud be he Democrat or
Republican. Republican success
in November is assured. Let
every good Republican go to the
polls early and not forget the
good command, "watch and
pray" and while you pray don't
forget to watch!
Now reader, this is an appeal
to your conscience, and not to
vour rjreiudice It is plain facts
written in a plain' way. Think
well before you cast ,your vote
in November.
A Letter from Mr. Redding
Concerning the Listing
of HirTaxes.
My attention has been called to an article
in the Courier, concerning the listing of my
taxes. In regard to said article, I wish to
say that during the time of listing, I was a
student in the Wake Forest law school. I
came home in the middle of July and went
immediately to J. A. Russell, tax lister for
Randleman Township, and being informed by
him that he had only a few days before return
ed the books. I then left the listing of my taxes
in his care, and being assured by him that my
taxes would be listed without any other effort
on my part, I returned to resume? my studies at
Wake Forest, and was under the impression
that my taxes had been listed until my atten
tion was called to it in the Courier.
Mr. RUSSELL'S STATEMENT.
The following from the taxi-lister, Mr. LA
Russell, a democrat, is self-e.xplanitory:
"To those whom it may concern:
In regard to Mr. Charles H. Redding, list
ing his taxes, Charles H. Hedding was at
school at the proper time to list his taxes for
the year 1910, and thinking that his father
gave in for him he did not write to me, but
on his return home, he asked, me if his father
gave in for him. I told him "No" but' that
I would list his taxes for him as I was going
to Asheboro the next Monday., but I forgot to
list them for him. Suffice it. to say that Mr.
Redding did not intend NOT to list Ids taxes.
Charles is an honest boy and will do the
right thing every time,
Yours very respectfully,
J. A. RUfJSELL
s"Tax Lister for RandJ email Ttownship."
Hoping t
lis will clar th&sftuation.
Respectfully,
Charges H. Redding.
P. S. A copy of this has also been sent to the
Courier for publication.
The above statement f rou 1 list taker, J. A.
Russell was not publish ;d in this week's
Courier. Has that paper 7EFUSED to pub
lish it? Does it DARE REFUSE? If so,

Yes, I have seen and used both
and inform the ring boss that I
own one of the celebrated Davis'
compass and one of Gunter's
best steel chains of length 1UU
links and I think I can use them
as well as any ringster can prac
tice law. I will also inform the
bossocratic organ that 1 went to
school not a few days to a prim
ary school where I learned to
pars grammer, but also learned
surveying and was considered a
scholar for that day, and I will
inform the Big Boss that when I

College) on March 27, 1878. If

A PARTY COaORAST.
Wini the Democratic Party Did
Last Time it Was in Power.
Senator T. P. Gore, Democrat,
of Oklahoma, iu a speech deliver
ed at Dallas, Tcaas, in 1896, said:
"The trouble with the Demo
cratic party is, it is a party of
statesmen without statesman
ship, patriots without patriotism,
heroes without heroism. Their
policy begets fanners, without
farming, laborers without labor,
Ireemen without ireeoom.
"The Fiftj -second Congress
lias a Democratic majority of 148,
and if it redeemed a single nledee
observed a single promise, kept
a smcrle command, or discharged
a single obligation made to the
-Deorjle of the United States I
will auit the' stump and retire
from thfv canvsiss.
' 'Tli a Fiftv-second Consrress
V M
was elected on entrenenment
and economy, the free coinage
of silver and the repeal of the
McKinley law. In the matter of
economy that Congress exceded
the Republican $l.uuu,uuu,uuu
Congress bv S40.000.000."
So much for the fifty-second
rnnoiess. What of the Fifty
second when both Senate and
"Hnnsp vvp.rft Democratic with a
Democratic president? Well, they
gave usthe-Wilson-uormantarnr
which brought a deficit every
vear: which closes our mills,
' - m
threw millions out of work, re
duced the waires of those left
with jobs, thereby destroying the
taravsr a harket ;o Ins products
and bringing ruiu and misery to
the entire country. Do we want
a repetition of that Democratic
period?

And let the Sunday-School tea
chers form an association for the
systematic study of Dooganshield
so they can instruct the youth in
the beauties, depth, heigth, and
purity of Dooganshield. Then
to carry the influence of the new
Dooganshield school further, the
preachers should take up the book
and instruct their congregations
in the great thoughts in 'Theolo

the Author is wise and takes our

there is scads of both cash and

To the honest V&ts -of Mont
gomery county
I regret Wry much to be forced
to makfe this appeal to you., but
a deep sense of honor too&ete 'm
to call to your attention some 'ot
the false rumors that aire :beirig
circulated by set of low !&Wh
contemptafele scoundrels 'w'hb
are trying by lying iips t6 cdm
pass my defeit at the hands 'of
the voters of Montgomery coun
ty, but my lilfe foapfcens to be an
open booki tend is known by
many of yiiu and to such as
know me 4 have no fears of your
being iriislead by these notorious
ly false rumors, but to you who
do not know me I appeal and beg
you to read the statements be
low of bona fide citizens. I care
more for my honor than I do for
an office- and before I would
stoop to such dastardly misrep
resentations and wilful lying as
is now being done in an endea
vor to defeat me at the polls in
Nov. I would suffer my right
arm severed from my body and
would live on the charity of an
indulgent people the remainder
of my life. Yes they say that
stole a car of lumber, that I
am guilty of this, that and the
other, and the Lord knows what
else will come up against me be
fore the election. Tell the
truth, boys and then you will
feel better when you have had
time to think, and a clear con
science is more desirable than
honor and office combined with
an acheing void in your heart
aad conscience.
Very respectfully,

Mt. Gilead, N. C. Oct. 1st, 1910.
To the public: I desire to
make this statement. , T.at in
the month of July or August
1903 I lost a car of lumber, which
I found had been loaded by J.
Smith Moore, at the instigation
of L. P. Byrd, and when I press
ed L P. Byrd for payment for
t he same he insisted that it vas
lumber which I had cut for him
self W. G. DeBerry and D. S.
Hurley, which assertion had no
foundation in fact, on which, I
swore out a warrant for all three
incompliance with the law re
quiring eyery member of a firm
charged with misdemanor to be
included in the warrant, while
at the time I knew that W. G. "
DeBerry was at home with a sick
son, and never had the remotest
thought that W. G. DeBerry had
anything whatever to do with
purloining the car of lumber, and
as proof of this statement Mr.
DeBerry and myself have all the
while betn on intimate terms,
and to add to this I am about the
first man "who advocated his
nomination for sheriff and am
advocating his election most
heartiiv and am not afraid to .ro
his bond. Were the men, ur
man, as the case may be were
as much entitled to credit as W.
G. DeBerry has been m profes-
flightsof oratory; such high moral sion of my confidence from a
teachings; such chaste language;
such rhythmic sentences; such
christain brotherly love; such
forbearance and christain fellow
ship. In fact such double dis
tilled essence of all the. good
things and pure things boiled
down in the syrup of Doogan
shield. Every other book may
as well be discarded and the Door
ganshield collection adopted.
When that is done, just watcn
the minds of the youths of Ran
dolph grow and wax fat in tne
Hammer-Dooganshield PURITY.
Fathers, Mothers, Teachers,
Preachers and Laymen of Ran
dolph county: How would you
like it? Are you feeding tne
Drastic minds of jour beloved
children on the- po::on)us stuff
dished out each week in the
Dooganshield letters ? We ask
you the question, Think it over.

would have for one moment,

To whoever this may concern:
The above case referred to was
heard by me, a Justice of the
Peace, in and for said county
and dismised it, there being no
evidence to show guilt and that
the evidence before the court
showing that W. G. DtBerry
had nothing to do with the ease
nf nil and was at home at the
time with a sick child and that
his name was only put in the
warrant because he was one of
