Holton, the would be jint-canvasser, if he were not afraid of drawin a crowd for Dem. ocrats high muck-a-muck of the Republican party of this county, may have been the maker of your fame, for if I hadent . noticed that he waz prefixin "Honorable" to the . name of seme of hiz kinsmen I would .never have thought of doin s'.ch a thing for you, but afterall, it's a good thing to have a few things to pester you. If there were no briars or stories or" cold weather some peo ple would not wear shoes;' an if this were to git to be a very extensively adopted custom the Republican party -could not have fattened some of its pets through the leather trust. So while we are pestered with Holton's cavortin around after an - offia . he couldent fill if he was to git it, yit hiz suggestion of ''Honorable" may be the makin of your fame.

Russell was Governor? Will yon? Will yon?. Oh, say, deer Carpet-bagger, will yon ? There iz not a true-blue Democrat bat what wishes he would say "yes" to this question. Bat he'll decline to answer, evade the question, or snarl, as iz nix custom. Oh, wont yon answer it, Mr, Editoreasf Quetion No. 3 Since the Repnb-1 lican State convention nominated all four of the men Taf t refused to ap point az Federal Judges because' they were unfit, will, yon "leaders" please explain how yon could both endorse Taf t and nominate az judges the men he said were not fit, an all of it in the same convention ? Will you ? Will you ? Will the Carpet, bagger Boss, who was impotted from West Ferginny, or the Repub lican connty chairman, who was im- Eorted to this county by the Repub can State organization, . explain this political paradox i Question No. 4 Now, all you ex ceedingly . wisa leaders who have yelled proeperi tee at , the people for sixteenV-jars publish a signed state ment iothe Randolf Bnllekin, in which yon explain truthfully, hon estly and thoroughly , what makes the cotton mills in Randolf county, in the State of North Carolina, in the entire South an in New England run ou short time if Republican' rule is sure to bring prosperitee, an since you have run the National government for sixteen lone years ?. Will you ? Will you ? Dont all speak out at the same time, but ob, Mr. Carpet-baggeV and Charlie Ell, tell us the truth one time in year lives 1 ' x . ' , Question No. 5. And no to the whole pile of you would-be court house ringlets, whether ii'd effis, or to house the county money an -swap hardware for it, or to do the public printin, let us have your answer to tall qUOBWUU 1U sigucu w in the Randolf Bnllekin regardless cf what want : Are you fellers as e"s!etent as Benedict Arnold while, yon abuse Democrats on the regular Democratio ticket, while at the same time yon nominate for federal, state and county omses Democrats that have left tne party because the party declined to give em offis ? Now, we insist that if the head of an animal is hot food the trail iz worse, and it's the same with the Democratic party. Iy you dont like the head why do you stick so closely to the tail ? Will you answer this ? Will vou answer this ? Say, little boss- lets,' will yon answer thia question truthfully and honestly r Questions No. 6 vVill yon tell the people through the Bullekin, in a signed statement, whether you en dorse Mry Ann Butler an the col lection of them repudiated bonds? Do you endorse havin, Butler speak in the State for the Republican party? Do you? DO you? Say bosslet, d ) you? ' : ' ? Question No. 7 Mr. . Lewis if, when he declined to let Mr. Holton jinejn a canvass with Hammer,' he was afraid to let Hammer talk to the Republican voters of the district? Waz he afraid Holton would draw a crowd on account of not a assign of hiz ability or ou account of the curi osity of the people? Ax him if it iz not a sign of cowardice an a desire to take unfair advantage in what hiz speaker tells the people that he cie. dined the jint canvass? Oh Mr. Lewis, are you afraid to let your man face hizJDemocratic opponent before the people? Dont the people think you were afraid, an are you not yet afraid? , Are you not? Are you not? Are 'you not? Ax poor, old Patsy! Then say, like a man, yon were afraid Hammer would knock the political stuffia out of Holton, for yon know that waz the trouble! : Question No. 8 Now, Mr. Car pet-bagger, let us ax yon one more question, for yon have been so gentle an sof Umannered in all yonr career, an never said anything in . yonr life; t bat. wazent right -from the heart or stummick. Why do y5u publish this statement in your paper, "Hol ton an honor in the courts?" Does somebody have to guarantee Holton to the people, an if they do, would it not be better to have a native of the county, abont whom the people know somethin, do it? Question No. 9 Now, jist one more question 0. B.; will yon tell ue thru the bullekin whether ' Neris Inglish will favor an nrg the ap pointment nv niggers ou skoui com mittees with uthority over white ekoelfl, as he did whea Connty Su perintendent of public ins true tshion; and will he lock np the reckords nv the Bord nv comishioners ana ree fuse too let eny Democrat see minits, like he did the minits nv the bord of edgication? Please, Oh please, 0. B., give ns lite on this question, even if you have to comnnikate with Neris, and git his vews. It Ctrpet-big jer Aiked to Show 111 Honesty And TTuthriilneM. ; Every democrat dares yon to name a thing in yonr paper or by word of month in the presence of Hammer that he haz done which was not in accordance with law, and strictly honorable. Now, if you have a scintilla of manhood, you will either maxegooa wnat you inea to insinu ate, make a gentlemanly apology if Jon know now, or git out or. tite way. t nay be that politics iz ran by insinuation where you come from; but if its done that way here by oar fokes its because we dont . want to call names. This will be ignored too. ' , ". '. Now, to the other side ,,of the question. If you have seen , insinu ations in the democratio papers about forgeries, or about insolvent poll tax lists that n amber one thousand, or a treasurer that couldent balance hiz books, or anything of which the democratic press haz accused your party of in this county while it waz in power, or anything of which your party was accused of while in power in the State, just print your premises to reprint the names an tacts in yonr paper in your last, October issue, an yon shall be gratified. Further more if you know of any accusations that democrats have made agiost an ex-republican official, Tom W iimlo w, who signed a statement that the county was in dobt so much under tne democratic aammiarrawon pre vious to the last republican adminis tration an said the report ot , said committee could be found on a cer tain page in the minute book of the eoanty commissioners, suppose yon promise to publish the proof, an see if it iz not forthcomin.

Glenn spoke in Asheboro last Saturday to a large audience made np of men and wo men, who listened intently to his magnificent address. He took advantage of the occasion to thank his friends in Randolph for co-operating with him while he was the State's chief executive and assured the audience that he was in love with all the world and that the remainder of his life should be usad in helping humanity. In the be ginning he referred to Vance who advised him to tell the people 'of North Uarolina about the tariff, of how the necessities of the poor, such as shoes, hat3 and plain clothes are heavily taxed, and how the silks, vel vets and luxuries of the rich, lowly taxed. He compared the prices that our own people have to pay, with what the people in IS -island do. A machine purchased by a woman iu this country for $18 is shipped to .hagland and sold for $10. A type writer sold to a poor boy or girl in America for 3100 is shippd to Eng. land and sold for $60, plows J $14 here, abroad $12.60, cultivators here $11, abroad $3.40. After dis cussing national affairs he spoke of "Mary Ann . cutler s connection with the South Dakota's bond case, of how be entered into a conspiracy with Russell, who was then governor and forced the state to pay more for the bonds than the compromised price. Then he compared the ex penses of the penitentiary from the time Russell went ont of office to the end of the first year of Kitchin's term. Penitentiary when Russell went ont of office, in debt $227,000 Aycock turned over to Glenn $155,- 000. Glenn turned over to Kitcnin $294,293 " W- In speaking of the present nom. inees, Gov. Glenn said that Mr. Parke, Republican nominee in his district against Mr. Page, wrote to Mr. Eller, . state chairman, and offered to "stumo the State for de mocracy for boodle." He has never voted the Republican ticket in his life. Mr. Cooley, who is Mr. Pon's opponent, was pieviously a candi date for nomination on the Dem oeratio ticket and was defeated, and at the convention he nominated Mr. Pon, then accepted the nomina tion to rnn against him. Messrs. Timberlake, Skinner and Hicks, Republican nominees for - superior court judges, are all ex-Democrats. After the convention in Greensboro Gov. Glenn said to one of the three above named, who were aspirants for the eastern judgeship: You met in Greensboro in the convention and en dorsed Taft?He said, "Yes," then Gov. Glenn said, "and Taft said yon were not fit forejudge in eastern North Carolina, and yet you endorted him? - Gov. Glenn enumerated the prog ress alon educati onal and other lines in North Carolina and predict, ed a large democratio majority on the bth of fiovvember. Senator Dolliver Dead. . United States Senator Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver died at his home at Fort Dodge, Iowa, on October loth in his fifty-third year. He had not been, in good health for sometime, but for several days only, he had been quite ill. Dila tion of the heart was fatal to him. Senator Dolliver was born in West Virginia in 1858 and - graduated in 1875 from West Virginia University. He was admitted into the bar in 1878, and began his political career in Iowa, He waa appointed to the Senate from Iowa in 1900 and has been re-elected several times. His present term would have expired in 1913. Republican Speaking at Coleridge. The Bulletin, has strained its columns and reputation in referring to the members attending the ap pointments of the Democratio can didates, but the "frost" which fell upon the Radicals at their 'appoint ments at Coleridge on the 13th is unparalleled. A gentleman reports that there were jnst three, men pres ent, besides the Radical candidate. Even "Tige", probably in anticipat ing the "freeze out," failed to put in his appearance, and where he is not, there is the heart or bombastic effulgence of the Eando'.jh Radi.

Yates says that he served in the Civil War in. Company B., 52nd N. 0. Regiment, and was captured by the Union . Army. I served in that company and the said w. a. xates, did not serve more than three months when he deserted na and he and Mr. W. M. Miller went over to the Yankee army on the 25th day of December, 1867. 0. L. Robbins, . Sworn to and subscribed before me, this 17th day of Oct. 1910. W. J. Teague, J. P. Death of Mr. Rufus Neighbors. Mr. Rufus Neighbors, of Frank, linville, who has been afflicted !with consumption for several months, died Monday erening and was laid to rest in the M. E. cemetery at Franklin ville, by the Junior Order, of which he was a member. The f nneral ser vices were conducted by Rev. J. E. Woosley. The deceased was a son of Mrs. Eliza Neighbors,and waa 22 years old. He was a member cf the Baptist church, ne leaves a wife, one infant child, mother, two broth, ersand two sisters J. T. EUingten died recently at his home in Johnston county. Mr. Ellington was for many years Sheriff of his connty and was a model ofheer and a good man. Adjutant General Armfield died at his home in Statesville Oct- 12th. Mr. C. A. Armstrong Speaks. Mr. Chap. A. Armstrong, Demo. cratic nominee for btate senator, was in Asheboro and announced himself as a candidate in the court house Si turday. He is a pleasant speaker and amused the audience by telling them that the only criticism his opponent could make was that be was an Australian. He then said that he was born in Australia; that his father was an Englishman, his mother a Scotch woman and de- lied any one to say they could boast or better blood, even if he was born in Australia. He- said iu a iocular way that he was not consulted as to the place of his birth, and if he had been he would not have chosen West Virginia, for if he had he might now have been editing a "lit tle Radical newspaper," but thathe might have chosen either Montgom ery or Randolph counties, and that after having lived in this county for more than thirty years, and hav ing mtirried a Montgomery woman he felt, this was his home and. he was among friends. In conclusion he said if elected he would serve the people as best he could, us he had done during the twelve yeirs he had held the clerk'd office in Montgomery. Mr. Arm strong is a splendid gentleman and has many friends ia Randolph county who will feel honored to be represented by him in the State Senate. Craig On Butler, Hon. Locke Craig in a speech at Black Mountain recently laid bare the baseness and treachery of Marion Bntler, who, while a Senator from North Carolina, took a fee from the bond speculators in New York to concoct legislation through his menus in uongreas that waa intend' ed to harass the neonle of the fitate thatj lumaiLftL Aiti shocked the members or the debate, and it is said without , paaallel in the history of that body. So far .as can be learned Bntler is the . only member of the Senate in the history ot the nation, who ever took a fee to appear against the State from which he was holding a commission to rep resent it in its council halls. Mr. Craig said of Bntler: "The Republicans came back. The era of fusion was like unto the era of reconstruction. I would not mention the reconstruction, nor per haps the time of f nsionism, had not the Republicans in this campaign pnt forward as their leader and champion a man who is the incar nation of the evil of f nsionism and who stands today for the consum mation of the greatest robbery of reconstruction. . When the bonds that he would force Noith Carolina to pay were issued the poverty of the State was not her deepest dis tress. For years she had been robed in consuming fire and ravaged by avenging armies. She had exhaust ed her resources in supporting the Confederacy. One hundred and twenty-five thousand of her sons had gone to the front and 40,000 of her children had been slain. There was mourning in every home. Her property was gone, the reconstruc tion Legislature, or, by the orgies that yon call a legislature plundered her treasury, levied exorbitant taxes and stole the public money. When nothing was left they issued bonds to the extent of forty millions of dollars. When the State was bank, rupt they attempted to mortgage her future These bonds were not the obligation of North Carolina, for they were not issued by a Gen eral Assembly that had been elected by the people. When " the . Demo crats were restored to power all hon. orable obligations that had been in curred by the State were paid,' and all of her debts were honorable set tled. She repudiated these bonds for the people. North Carolina repudiated them by an overwhelm ing majority. Marion Butler was in the Senate of the United States as the representatives of North Caro. lina. He conspired with the hold, ers of tnese bonds to fores North Carolina to pay them. He con. spired in secret and refused, upon his privilege as a lawyer, to tell what transpired. While he was the servant, the agent, the Senator of North Carolina he attempted to foreclose this mortgage that had been put upon North Carolina in reconstruction time and to consum mate the villany of the men of that era. x or more than forty years we have been tan eh t to despise the men who attempted to perpetrate that ANSWERS POINTED QUESTIONS Mr. Nelson Tells the Inquisitive Why He Chose to Cast His Lot ia This Country. ' Editor Courier : I was requested through the mail last week to answer three questions through The Courier this week. So will you please publish this in your paper this week? The first question was why I came to this country; the next one was, what are the wages over there now ; the third one wis, why so many of our people come over to this country. The first one and the last one will have the same answer. Liberty was what brought me and all the rest of them. The church and state is united and the king is the head of the church, and everybody has to belong to that church. The state is divided up into church districts instead of townships as in North Uarouna; and what we call the priest there is the same as a minister here. He is the bo?s over bis church district, and he holds his office from the time be gets it nntrt he dies, and when he dies the king puts in his place whomsoever he pleises. If he is a drunkard or a horse joker the people nave 'to be satisfied. This priest co one can meet on ihe road without he has to take his right hand and kiss if, and we also have to go to him at least four times a year and confess our sins. If we don't do that. he will place the same one what we call behind the church, and after a person is placed there he is thrown out of society and loss his credit, and he cannot Berve as a witnesss in a court case. Now, if you don't think this is good reason enongh for ns to leave the country, please go over there and try it for awhile and I guarantee it won't take higb tariff to bring you back. '- The sec ond question abont the wages., over there now is according, to the ability iitTSZSfbitai. vOe law over there -u, is wa cannot hare a laboring- man, neither by the day nor by the month. When a laboring man takes1 hire it is from the 24th day of Oo tober until the 24th day of October the next year, and when he changes his place he will have to have a writ ten recommendation from the man he is working for, and when he shows that recommendation that tells exactly what that -man is zood' for. That recommendation is legal and if ilia lot the . truth it is. bet ter than the man is. The farmer that hires the hand can -indict him), and if it is not as good as the man is and he can prove it he can sue him for slander. For the common man the wages runs from $300 to $400 and loard and washing for twelve months. N.P.Nelson. great wrong upon North Carolina in the sixties. But Marion Butler to day ia attempting to consummate- toe iraua ana tne roooery, "The bonds were iainhd in timn nf excitement when the trreaA nt mm- was stimulated by the passions of' uivu war. xne men who were the leaders of that crime were not na tive North Carolinians, but a man born in North Carolina, honored beyond his desert by her people when the nasainng of tha war hA been forgotten attempted to force nis own estate to pay this repudiated debt. If the worst-, of the mmn. struction leaden could speak they would reioice that at last their names miffht be taken down from the sribbet of historr for their in. famyis obscured by the blsckness of nis perj or y. norm uarouna, tnougn torn and bleeding and splendid in her destitution and her desolation, paid every dollar that she owed and courageously repudiated that which, she did not owe. "She defied the rnhtara and th guilty holders of the fraudulent bonds. While Marion Bntler wan the Senator of North Carolina, and bound by every sacred obligation to guard her interest and defend her honor, he was hired by her enemies, to assail the integrity of his native State, whose guardian he was, to uphold and consummate the crime which for forty years all good men have condemned. If we execrate the men that issued the bonds what do we think of the man who for a ah an of the corrupt money would force me payment 01 me oonasr mis is the man who is now the leader of the Republican party." We are of the opinion that if we- had left West Virginia at the reqnc:t of many mtizens, we would not try to much about an Australian.
