BE NOT DISMAYED.
Judge Robinson decided the
special, tax case against the peo
ple, and dissolved the injunction
restraining the commissioners
from collecting and paying over
special taxes to the bond holders-.
We could hardly have ex
pected otherwise from a Circuit
Judge. Our hope has been,
and is now, in the learning and
integrity of our Supreme Court.
They are mostly Republicans
but in several recent cases have
shown a commendable dispo
sition to administer the Con
stitution of the State as it is
written, and not in the interest
of capitalists who rudely tram
pie . upon Constitutions and
laws, when they interpose
themselves between the rights
of the people and the inexorable
mandates of money.
We are satisfied now,"' as we
have been from the first, that
unless our Supreme Court re
verses several of its late de
cisions that the people of Har
nett will win in their fight for
relief against burdensome and
unnecessary taxation. - But
whether they do or not they will
have the satisfaction of know
ing that they made a noble de
fense against oppression, and if
they are made to at last sub
mit to wrong, it will be with-
out dishonor to themselves.
"Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
The tternal years of God are hers.
While error wounded writhes in pain
And dies amidst her votaries,"
The case is now in the Su
preme Court, wdiere it .will be
decided and ended. It will
cost money to contest this mat
ter, and we hope our people
will not fail to come forward
with their contributions to this
cause. See your township com
mitteeman and pay him what
you can. The .other side is
busy trying to break down the
people's cause by circulating all
sorts of reports, but the people
need not heed them. We will
not give up the ship whila hope
and patriotism remain in the
bosom of the people.
! ASTATEMIT.
I learn that a report is being
circulated bv Chairman John
A." Green that I had made af
fidavit in the complaint filed
before Judge Robinson for an
injunction to restrain the sheriff
from collecting three 1 fourths of
special tax levied for the pay
ment oi tne Donas ana to re
strain the county commissioners
from paying interest on the
same, that I had paid my taxes
for the year 1897 except three
fourths of the special tax, and
that such was not the case and
: that I had not paid my taxes at
all. Such statement is made
with intent to do me injury,
and for the information of the
people of tho county I will make
a statement which Chairman
j Green and his shouting camp
; followers fail to tell.
it is true mat l naci no re-
ceipt for my taxes at the time,
I but Sheriff Pope owed me an
account for printing and,' ad-
; vertising pertaining to his of
fice as sheriff in excess of the
whole amount of my- taxes. I
had failed to balance accounts
with the Sheriff before he left
on his last round collecting tax
es (and since I have been in the
county I have paid my taxes
each year with printing and ad
vertising done for the Sheriff)
it was almost impossible to get
. a receipt for them when it was
necessary to get the affidavit ;
so I signed the affidavit believ-!
ing and knowing that my taxes j
were paid, although I had no j
receipt from the Sheriff.
After Sheriff Pope came home
I went to him andpreseuted my
bill, amounting to Ten Dollars,
and asked him to date the re
ceipt back to the date of the af
fidavit but he refused to do 60. 1
got a receipt for the amount
of taxes specified in affidavit.
In balancing accounts there
was a part of an item for ad
vertising which he said he had
never collected and did not feel
willing to pay and I allowed
that taken off (although I could
have heldVj him personally re
sponsible for same) which left
me due him twenty-eight cents
which I paid in money. This
is a statement which Sheriff
Pope will not nor can he deny.
Ve ask in conclusion what
pays a tax, is it the money or
is it the receipt? The receipt
as everybody knows is only evi
dence of payment, and not pay
ment itself. Our enemies are
hard pressed when they are
driven to the desperate and
wicked necessity of telling half
the truth, which is worse than
an untruth out and out. The
man or men who try to deceive
the people of Harriett county by
any such methods, will find
that their curses, like chickens,
will come home to roost even
if it be the old "speckled hen"
we have heard so much about.
, Now will Chairman Green
tell the people the wdiole truth?
If he can tell what day or
hour my taxes were paid he
may confer a favor on Sheriff
Pope. With this statement I
leave the matter with the peo
ple. Yours truly,
J. P. PlTTMAN.

,"Vero liilfed at'Spout Springs.
On Thursday evening De
cember 23rd, at Britton &
Johnson's saw mill near Spout
Springs this county, Thomas
Dobbin, a young negro- man,
struck Hugh Ray, another
young negro'man, on the head
with a jDiece of scantling and
killed him.
Thursday; night Coroner J.J.
Wilson received a telegram from
Britton & Johnson that a mur
der had been committed and
for him to go and hold an in
quest. He left early Friday
morning and held the inquest
that afternoon. The jury ren
dered a verdict that Hu V Ray
came to his death irom the
blow on the -head inflicted by
Thomas Dobbin.
The evidence produced before
the Coroner's inquest was about
as follows : -The two men were
at work loading a truck with
lumber ; Dobbin began cursing
Ray and continued to do so ;
Ray protested against the abuse;
Ray started to leave the truck
when Dobbin followed him
cursing; Ray drew his knife
and told Dobbin if he came on
him he would cut him ; Dob
bin picked up a piece of scant
ling and advanced on him and
struck Ray on the head with it,
fracturing the skull ; Ray had
his knife in his hand and in
falling back the blade stuck in
his right leg and severed the
main artery; Ray arose walk
ed a few steps and fell again
and died in about two hours.
He never spoke after he was
struck.
Dobbin was arrested and sent
to Fayetteville jail for safe keep
ing to await trial at the Feb
ruary term of of Harnett Su
perior Court. Dobbin is said
to be about 18 years of age and
the man he killed was about the
same age.

468 Seed-
The Dunn Hardware and
Fnrniture Company's prize
pumpkin was cut and the seed
counted on December 24th and
it was found to contain 468
seed.
The committee selected to
count the seed and examine the
guesses was Misses Irene Mc
Kav, Marie Setszer and Lela
McNeill, and Messrs M. A.
Hooks, F. R. Hall, J. P. Pitt
man and A. M. Woodall.
The committee found that no
one, out of 1755 guesses, guess
ed the oxact number. Five
persons came within one num
ber of it two 469 andthree 467.
These men were Messrs. E. F.
Young, W. C. Jackson, J. W.
Thornton, W. S. Strickland and
S. C. Neighbors to whom the
prize, a $10.00 buggy robe, was
awarded. 1 The robe was sold at
auction and was jmrchased by
Mr. E. F. Young for $7.50 and
the amount divided pro rata be
tween five most successful
This guessing contest was ad
vertised in The Union for only
about a month, yet during that
time parties who read the ad
vertisement in the paper bought
from the advertisers $1755 worth
of goods as each guess repre
sented one dollars' sale. Beside
those who guessed a large num
ber, bought coods that did not
guess and those who guessed
did not represent only to a small
extent the amount of this firm's
sales during the time.
The moral is : Put vour ad-

The South's Advantage-
"Coolidge' the Washington
correspondent of the Journal,
follows up his openihgletter of
yesterday on the Southern cot
ton mills by ; another to-day,
dated, as the first one was, from
Charlotte, N. C, the most im
portant centre of Southern man
ufacturing.; New England has heard much
within the past week or two of
these Southern factories. Now
it has an opportunity to see
them just as they look to a New
England observer. It has been
p, prevalent and perhaps a nat
ural assumption here in the
North that the labor in these
Southern mill towns was un
skilled and inexperienced.; In
experienced it was, doubtless,
at the first, but it is so no lon
ger. In point of skill, the
Southern hands, it is insisted
by those who know them well,
compare favorably with the
great bulk of Northern opera
tives. This important fact can
not be emphasized too strongly
the workers in the Southern
cotton factories are not'negroes,
and as a rule they are not Eu
ropean immigrants. They are
of the same stock which filled
the cotton mills of New England
50 or 60 years ago that is,
they are the children of farmers
and mechanics of thoroughgo
ing, American origin.
At the same time. as
."Coolidge" quotes one of these
Charlotte manufacturers,-' 'labor
here is 25 and 30 per cent,
cheaper than" in New England.
We have got, the advantage of
10 per cent, longer hours. And
we have more intelligent labor.
They (the New England manu
facturers) , have got to move
here or quit."
It is plain that these South
ern manufacturers realize the
advantage which they have
over their competitors in New
England. It is plain that this
advantage is just what our own
manufacturers have stated.
They must reduce their labor
cost or "quit." This is the
stern condition which confronts
them and confronts their opera
tives. Is it not easy to see which
way lie the best interests of all
concerned ? Boston Journal.
