COMPLETE SURPRISE
State of North Carolina,
Buncombe County.
October 12, 1918.
I, J. N. Ward, being duly sworn, depose and say
that I am about fifty-six years of age, born and
raised in the County of Buncombe, State of North
Carolina, and have lived in the said County nearly
all of my life, only having lived in Madison Coun
ty when I was a boy too young to vote. That on
this day, I presented myrfelf to Mr. J. E. Johnson,
acting registrar at Beaverdam Precinct, for the
purpose of registering and voting for Hon. John
M. Moorehead, a candidate for UnitedUStatea Sen
ate, Hon. James J. Britt, a candidate for Congress,
and the State and County Republican ticket; that
the said J. E. Johnson, acting registrar refused to
register me because I am unable to read and write.
That two years ago I voted in Lower Hominy pre
cinct and four years ago I voted at Biltmore pre
. cinct. I registered under what is known as the
"Grandfather's Clause" and failed to have my cer
tificate recorded in the Clerk's office at the time I
registered, and since then I have lost or mislaid
said certificate and am unable to secure same.
That I am a white citizen of said State and County,
and have never been indicted for any offense in the
Courts, having always lived a peaceable and up
right life. I have a son now in the Army on the
battlefields of France fighting for the Freedom
and Liberty of our homes and our Country.

R. T. ROBINSON,

Do you approve of such treatment of the poor
unfortunate white men who were reared shortly
after the Civil War, whose conditions deprived
them of obtaining an education? And whose
boys are now fighting on the fields of France for
Freedom and Liberty.
