Entered as second-class matter May
20, 1908, at the pbst office at Burling
ton, North Carolina, under the Act of
Congress of March 3 179
- v
Wednesday, October 27, 1909.
The Industrial v Edition of The
Dispatch, will be issued iu a few
days. It will be a great boost for
Burlington.
Speeches are being made in vari-ou.-s
parts of the state by the anti
saloon league leaders, upon the sub
ject uf "How to kili the bliudtiger."
What the people want and expect of
these leaders is to ' get out and kill
some themselves. They pictured it
a befng au easy matter during the
prohibition' campaign, but when the
people are up against the uroblem.
they can only gi e a little advice.
This is consoling.

Of all the disgraceful occurrences
i n the history of the state penitentia
ry at Raleigh, was the killing of a
prisoner there a tew clays ago, who
1 ! . 1 I
was in a oriiiiKiti condition. v a
ed in Nomination by Republican
" - ' tics ia the Office. 'I
The appointment of R. W Scott
as a niember of. the Highway com
missiofTby the Board of County
CommissiorrtTs, has, been criticued
by many Republicans of the county
they, claiming that the, appointment
was made, because of political bias,
v When D. A. White resigned, it
was suggested by "members of tlie
Board of County Commissioners that
the appointment of his successor be
postponed until later, whereupon
Mr. W, A. Murray, of Mebane and
Mr. B. S. Robertson, of Haw River
at once demanded vthe appointment
of Mr. Scott, claiming that the people-
of that section wanted Mr. Scott,
and Mr. Robertson declared that he
was the man for the place and that
there was no politics in the matter,
that the section down there former
ly represented by Mr. White want
ed Mr. Scott; Mr. Murray moved
that Mr. Scot f be elected and this
motion was seconded by B. S. Rob
ertson, the Republican member of
the Board.
We give these facta in order that
the public may know that the board
did not appoint Mr.-Scott because
he was a Democrat but appointed
him because he was a good man and
that section of the county wanted
him
Our eoteemed contemporary, the
Burlington News, in the above ar
ticle in its last weeks issue, tries to
justify the appoiutment of R. W.
Scott, a Democratic politician as a
member of the Highway commission
by making the assertion iu big head
lines at the top of the column, that
Mr. Scott was placed in nomination
by the Republican member of the
board of county commissioners.
Therefore the tax payers and the
Republicans in particular,' are estop
ped from criticising the action of the
board in failing to keep faith with
the people, by keepiugthe Highway
Commission uon puriisau. Now
our esteemed contemporary knw
when it said that Hon. R. W. Scott
placed in nomination by a Re
tt a-
.attempted to lock-!?b4n,bl
). Would it not 1 vveli ! ment .was fals V . Now wl,y
Not because we
umn that; Mr. Scott ;was placed m
nomination by a Ipablican?gu
surely inow that Mri Murray is ft
bemocraVof the straightest - sect.
Although; he was elected by; Repubr
lican votes, but he is none the worse
for that, in fact it " is to his credit
Why dicTyoa try to misrepresent the
facts dear contemporary? Are1 you
mo .hidebound that hen you see
y6ur party make a' fatal error, that
you rush in where angels ought to
fear to tread, and make miserable
botch of defense forjroar s party.
Surely it waa bad enough" for your
party to break the pledges made to
tie people, with your sanction and
help, that the Highway Commission
should be non partisan and com
posed of three Republicans and three
Democrats, We now ask 'that you
teil your readers if such promises
were not made, and if so, why. your
party broke faith with .the people,
and for what purpose, if not to ap
point a" Democratic politician.
There were many, promises mane
in the name of good. jroad$. but few
of which have been kept to; your
partys sname. , But we are glacTto
say that when the Republicans were
in power every promise made to the
people was kept, and we defy you
to name one that was broken. They
had the naming of the Highway
Commission and they named three
Democrats and three Republicans,
all good honest and true men, not a
politician among them.
But let us suppose for arguments
sake that R. W. Scott had been plac
ed in nomination by a Republican,
U that any reason or excuse why
your Demecratic board should break
a sacred and solemn promise made
to the tax payers of this couty. J
Besides you do not mean td insinu
ate that your board allows this one
lone Republican to dictate Who
shall receive
hands. We irrant you that he is
quite able to give-your board some
good advice along these lines. But !
we are loth to believe ttat voiir
- CompUcation and Confusion.
It apjre that the Dem(lcracy bt
Virginia is confronted vvttH confus
ion worse nfoundedl the confusion
arises from Jhe. deatl t)f Mr. D.
Egglesto'o, ; Democratic: . candidate
nominated by; the 'recent v primary
election, held by . the party, for Sec
retary of the Common wealth, and a
law enacted by the Democracy pro
viding that all candidates for office
shall give a certain u umber of days
notice of their candidacy, or they
will not be eljgable to be votetl for,
or his name printed n te official
ballot, (the Australian) in Luse in
that state. It appears that the name
of Mr. Eggleston has beeu printed
on the ballot, as the time had elapsed
when his successor should have giv
en notice of his canflidacy, as the
successor of Mr. Eggleston. x,Con
fusioo and complication is added to
the matter by the appearance of the
name of another Eggleston on the
ticket as candidate for the office of
State Superintendent of Public In
struction. Then again more comes
through the fact that the name of
the candidate of the party for high
constable, in the city of Norfolk
will have to be dropped, or erased,
oo account of a charge of bribery,
which is pending against the candi
date. So complications more than
