What Will Gudger Do about It?
We copy from the Asheville Gazette-News the follow
ing letter irom Dr. Reagan which will be read with inter
est by pur readers:
Editor Gazett-News:
Having lived over three "score
years and ten, and having devoted
50 years of this time to preaching
the gospel and in my humble way
practicing medicine as best I could,
and during all this time since I be
came of age, having been 'intensely
interested in public education, (and
having; been before the war a whig
and after the war a. democrat, inde
pendent, voting for whom I please)
I have, a right to ask for the infor
mation requested in this communi
cation. I want to vote the demo
cratic ticket, but will not vote for
any man who antagonizes our pub
lic schools, and withholds money
rightfully belonging to the school
children. I therefore write this
letter which will be made public, so
clear his skirts. It may be that he
can, truthfully say that all solicitors
did th6 same thing, but if so, when
they found it wrong they should
have refunded - j ust as Mark W.
Brown; did.
Dst Mhr Gudgef ' say " whether he
will continue to hold on to that
money, orpay it over to the school
authorities in accordance with the
decision of the supreme court
And how-about Mr. Martin and
Professor 1 Reynolds: It would be
weJU for them xo explain why they
accepted a republican solicitors
money and made no 'effort to col
lect from his predecessor, Mr. Gud
ger; a democrat? Why did they not
institute suit to cover what is due?
We certainly should keep politics
out of schools.
Mark Erwin bitterly denounced
the republican solicitor for doing
tne same tnmg tnat Mr. Gudger did.

opportunity to publicly explain re
ports which have come to me re
garding certain school funds which
it is claimed he now has in his
possession, and- which her received
while solicitor of this district.
On the eve of election four years
ago, Marcus Erwin, clerk of the
superior court, published a circular
severely denouncing Mark W. Brown,
the republican solicitor of this dis
trict, for accepting fees in sci. fa.
cases, claiming tnat Dy so aoing
"he has taken the people's money
unlawfully "and ought, to pay it
back;" that he had been guilty of
graft and extortion and robbed the
school children of their money.
Mr. Brown replied in a letter that
the money was paid to him by Mr.
Erwin as clerk under the belief that
he, as solicitor, was legally entitled
to the compensation, and that all
the solicitors in the state, including
J. M. Gudger jr., had received like
fees.
Immediately after the election
Mr. Brown caused a test case to be
submitted to the supreme court,
and that court having decided' that
the fees were unlawful, he volun
tarily refunded the money.
Julius C. Martin, chairman of the
board of education, gave a receipt
for the fees belonging to the school
fund, as appears by the Citizen and
the Gazette-News of June 7, 1907,
and in that receipt stated that Mr.
Gudger had collected , like fees as
appears by the records.
f Two years ago -A I ferooks, then
democratic solicitor of the Greens
boro district, -was ;n6minated for
mndrpes He had not taken time'
by the forelock, and refunded the
fees declared unlawful by the su
preme court, ' and the ; people rose
up against nun, defeating, him in a
district which is normally democrat
ic by more than 5000 majority. f 1
Thbse of us interested in the pub
lic schools naturally want the school
fund' to be protected, and brushing
aside all questions of politics, will
insist that thCscnrols beTBSfiallftV
ed to suffer-because - 6f the unlaw
ful claims of any individual, espec
ially .when there is not nowfc enough
money on hand to -pay the teachers.
f Mr. Gudger has moneyf belong
ingto the school xMdrenas;
Martin has" certified; then in all
good conscience he should refund it

Letter from
Mcduffie Ray
Editor Times:
A few dayo ago there appeared
an article in the French Broad
Hustler purporting to be the Hen
derson county democratic platform.
It appears from the article that the
platform consists of eleven para
graphs which it seems were intend
ed to set forth briefly some of the
things in which the democratic
party believes. For the informa
tion of all the people of the county,
whether democrats or republicans
I desire that you copy in your paper
section five of the platform as pub
lished in the Hustler which reads as
follows:
5th. That we endorse and
good roads movement in the coun
pledge ourselves to support the
ty, and we advocate a change of
the present fre labor system of
lie roads, and we pledge our
selves to an effort to have enact
working and keeping up our pub
the present condition in our
county.
ed a road law to meet the needs of
You will see from this the perfect
conception which the Hustler has
of our democratic platform declara
tions.
Here is the section as it appears
in the platform adopted by the dem
ocratic convention:
6th. That we endorse and pledge
ourselves to support the good roads
movement in the county. ' and we
further advocate a change of the
present system of working and
keeping up our public roads. And
we pledge ourselves to an effort to
have enacted a road law to meet
the needs of the present conditions
in our county.
In this garbled 4ess is displayed
the same fairness shown me by
that paper hr its pretended publica
tion of the proposed road law
which I tried to have passed by the
last legislature. The public will
easily understand the Hustler's mo
tive in thus attempting to suppress
this section of the democratic plat
form, piis section is a complete
endorsement of the principles in
corporated in the law I tried to have
passed and the Hustler does not
wish to publish the fact that the
democratic party is committed to
those principles. The garbled mess
above is not. an accident It was
so published on purpose This
shows the "people Gf the county how
excellent a newspaper the 'Hustler
is and how hard it tries to 'serve
the public.
From this attempted fraud on the
public one is justified in the as
sumption that the Hustler would
again oppose the enactment by the
next legislature of a law embracing
the principles thus declared for by
the democratic party. If a news
paper publishes the news, what
would you call a paper that sup
presses the news?
. I desire further to call attention
to the fact that section 5 of the
platform is entirely omitted in the
publication in the Hustler, al
though the publication is entitled
"County Democratic Platform."
This garbled mess called section 5
in the publication and the entire
omission of section 5 in the platform
cannot be accidental and as before
stated can be nothing less than an
attempted fraud on the democratic
fraud on the democratic party of
the county. .
