To The Pcblio: It having come to our ears that some of the populist and republican candidates in our county, are charg ing on the county can vass that Mr. E. F. Young, one of our democratio candidates for commission er, had not paid his taxes for the past year, and as the oharge is made to damage Mr. -Young's eleotion, we deem it our duty to make' the follow ing statement under oath: Some time last . fall while sheriff Pope was making his rounds' of the county collecting taxes, Mr. Young, in our presence, offered to pay his taxes to the sheriff. He tendered his State and school taxes in cash, and offered te pay -the county part of tax in Bridge Orders, Pauper Orders, or orders issued for general county fund, but sheriff Pope refused to take the orders, either on their faoe, it was de clared that they were receivable for all county taxes. Upon the sheriff's refusal to take the scrip, Mr. Young stated to him, that he was taking scrip from some people, and that he was as muou entitled to pay for his scrip as aay body else, and therefore, refused to settle his taxca until his scrip would be taken for the -county, part of his tax. V. L. Stephens, G. H. Pabkbb, ! N J. 0. Cox. Snown to, and subscribed before me, this 24th Oct. 1896. H. C. McNkhxJ. p.; We publish the above sworn certi fieate made by three of the most prom inent and responsible gentlemen of our county, with regret. We regret the necessity of its being made, as , it anows mat tne tuaion candidates in Oar qounty, or some of them, are will son has not been among us much but he is worthy of your votes and we should all dislike to see the 3rd district represented by a populist The district is close, bntif-allthe demoorats in the district will work for him as they should he will be elected. Hi's own county that is now populist will give him a good majority. This proves his popularity among his Own people who know him beBt. Let the democrats of Harnett do their best work for him and for Hines and Marshburn' the candidates for the senate. The populist nominee tor tne senate, a brother of senator Butler, has been a democrat until a few weeks ago. He -went with the pop ulist because he saw a chanoe to be a State senator. Will populist vote for a man 'who is a populist for office? If he did not join them for office he was a long time finding out that he was on the wrong side 'If a negro is unable to walk to the poles to register, the republican bosses send a buggy after him and take him to the poles. We wonder if they give him: a free ride to the grave when he dies? The negro is a good thing with white republicans about election times, but after he votes and the elec tion is passed, bo i a "d- -d nig ger" with them. . Will the negroes ever see that they are only tools to put white republicans in office? Yoters of Harnett, do you want a special tax or bond issue put on you to put the county on a 'cash baeit?' Ask. Chapin if he would vote a special act, authorizing the issue of bonds and . the oolleotion of a special tax by Harnett county to put the county on a cah basis.' If you will read closely the resolution offer ed by Sheriff Green1 in our county convention, you will read between the lines that sheriff Green tried to get the democrats to declare for a special act to issue bonds. Mark Hanna' s money is in our midst there is more or less of it in I Harnett county. It is here for some purpose, wha that purpose is we must find out. It will show its hand on election day. Democrats, - be on your guard, ' and see that no undue advantage is taken of any voter. Will some one ask Mr. John A. ... A . . Green if he has not got a judgment against the County of Htrnett that he bought at a very small sum, which Judgment has gone out of date oecause it was not renewed? And ask him also if he does not want-the county commissioners to allow him to renew that judgment? Only six more days until" election Our ticket must be elected, tolec it there is work toj be done, and that work must be done in the next six days. If your neighbor is faltering talk to him, and show him how and why he8hould vote. .Democrats see that every democrat and votes. This is goes to the polls a battle between plutocracy and democracy the classes and tho -masses. Work for your country from now until the sun goes 'down on next Tuesday. . The populist take great " pride in telling what the last legislature did. They promised, if elected, to decrease taxes. Did they do ii? Have your taxes this' year been any less? No. They increased the taxes and appro priated more than $100,000 of the peoples money than the legislature They taxed your cent a pound. which preceeded it. tobacco one-half a They taxed doctors and lawyers $10 a year for each. They put a tax on the garden seeds you buy to plant and on the drugs which you buy when you are sick. They cut down the appro priation to the , Soldiers' Home $500 a year. .And the only article on which they decreased ' taxation was billiard tables. E. W. POTIv Attoraeyat-Law. SMITHFIELD, N.
