Do you mean to say, Mr. Green, that all this :U;f8.J) worth of orders was im'iod nrior to December i A good deal of discussion is now going on among the State Democratic press as to the atti tude the Democratic party should! take toward the Popu- hsts in tne iic-vl tanip"b Only a few, we are favor a fusion . 1 party, claiming that as the only moans bv which the white men ,of the State can.be -unified and bring the State government back into the hands of the white men.

Ac- tiers nem o not be fully cording to Mr. Green's state ment last week it would amount to nearly $9,000 but from the statement this week : "we infer that it is 'much less. The ad ministration from 1888 to 18D0 thinks that it ran about even and did not increase the county debt but little, notwithstanding that during that time two court houses were burned which in curred a great deal of expense and also that during that period the county suflered greatly from floods and freshets and many bridges had to be rebuilt and repaired more probably than for years before. With all these disasters' they think they kept about even with the countv expenses not increas- ing the debt but little each, year. But Mr. Green would make it appear that during this period 4 nearly all the outstanding dcbl was made. He says that in 1888 the outstanding, tleot was estimated at only about '$500. If we have been informed cor rectly Mr. Green had at that time or soon after in his pos session scrip amounting to that much or more that was issued many years prior to 1888. The administration that went out last year invites the closest scrutiny of their public acts and do not fear for any of them to be made public The people are wanting to see the compromise agreement and bond contracts that were made by the present board and which Mr. Green has promised to furnish us. How much Ion ger before we can expect them? Senator Butler asks the News and Observer if it w ants such a white man's party as the legislature of 1891. That .kind will do for us. That was called the Farmers' Alliance legisla ture and Senator Butler was a member. It had no negro doorkeeper and did not appoint any negro magistrates. negro -a -i - 1 l magistrates, constables, sciiooi committeemen and State officers which his party helped to put in ollice? These are thinge for w h i t e men to coll ider. Then let us not think of fu ion with them, but lay down a platform on which all white men can unite. Let bygones be bygones and entreat them to come back to the fold of democ racy and white supremacy. Let's go to the people with clear cut principles and for a State gov ernment br Anglo-Saxons, and lighting for the great principles of our forefathers. : If we lose we will have the satisfaction of knowing that we were defeated cry i contending for true principles, which wi1! win eventually, and tli at wo-did not surrender prm- cinle for ollice.
