Ko oi^v^iior? tA the pur- children The Democratic ring leaders are unable to meet the issues in this campaign, and, besides, are very fearful that tiheir record of incompetency and broken promi ses will be exposed to the voters of the state. This has caused the bosses to send word down the line to every Democratic speaker and newspaper, from one end of the state to the other, to raise the hysterica] cry of: - ‘ ‘BUTLiER AND BONDS.” — They are trying to frighten the good people of the state (who are in favor of paying honest debts) by charging that Republican suc cess would mean the collection of over $20,000,000.00 of fraudulent CARPET-BAG BONDS. ’ This is a LIB OUT OF THE WHOLE CLOTH, and every one of the Democratic leaders knosv it. But they are frightened because the people are deserting their false leadership and lining up with the party of progress and prosperity, and they arc desper ate at the idea of losing power and office. A few decent iDemo- cratic newspapers and self res pecting speakers however have refused to be a party to such in famous methods. The incompetency of the Demo cratic party in this state, and its record of non-enforcement of the law, of deserted principles and broken promises, including tne HYPOCRISY and TREACHERY of the Kitchin ADMINISTATION especially as to the PROMISED "“Anti Trust Law with TEiETH/’’ to say nothing of the pitiable re cord of the national Democratic partj' of negation and • folly, is the constant NIGHTMARE of the DEMOCRATIC BOSSES. They want to divert attention from their record and fool the voters, but they underestimate the intelligence of the PEOPLE. All the VOTER vvants to know is the FACTS, and then he will THINK and ACT for himself. Only three more issues before the Popular Voting Contest closes. Now is the time for the contestants to get busy. ' THE COUNTY TREASURY V0UC9ERS AT DISCOUNT \c>ais to be applied to :ha?e of hooks .for the oiir own public schools Hung Up in a Mud Ho!e. Messrs. 0.

' Our lesson Sunday: The Last Judgement, We .found that there are only two ways to go. One to ‘ ‘everlasting punishment’ ’ the other to “eternal life.” Some one has said: " ’ “We shape ourselves the joy or fear Of which the coming life is made, And fill our future atmosphere W^ith sunshine or with shade. ■ The tissue of the life to be We weave in colors all our own, And in the field of destiny We reap what we have sown.” Men keep everlastingly after the men. T. D. Dupuy, Pres. JOHN H. Vernon, Sec. For the first time since the' formation of Alamance county, the county vouchers- drawn upon the treasurer of the .county are going at a discount. \ What does the tax payers of the connty Jthink of this? Not only are the vouch ers going at a discount, BUT THE COUNTY TREASURY IS EMPTY, AND THE COUNTY CANNOT BORROW A DOLLAR TO MEET THE PRESSING OB LIGATIONS: There are now oui^standing ^evei-al thousand dol lars worth of county vouchers that cannot be realized upon, ex cept at a hesavy discouht. The county owes now twenty-one thousand dollars for borrowed money as follows: Alamance Highway Commission, $10,000.00 E. Long, $1,000.00 Dr. J. H. Brooks $2,000.00 Bank of Alamance $3,000.00 Virginia Cotton MiHsr $6,000.00 President Taft CaUs for a Bill of Pa^cnlars, *'Our Dempcratic ''friends are saying that if the, Berhocratic p^ty comes into power it would reduce the expense of this gov ernment $3009,000,000,” says the President. “Do they mean that the Democrats would abolish the pension list?

Is it not time that the - tax payers whose property is at stake in this matte r were gi ving these conditions some thought and attention?; No one "vvho has any regard for the truth will deny these .statements, and no one can truthfully deny them.

He made his connectioii with bend matterclear and convincing he said unequivically thathe was opposed to the collection of the carpet bag bonds, that he had n« connection with them, and that he would not have : any thing to do with theniMhat he was a loyal North Caroli^ and „as much in favor of protecting its good name and credit as any Democrat in the state, his speech was a cohi- plete answer to all the;' charges against him, and after hearing him no fair minded man will be- leive otherwise, there were peo-. pie present from all over the county, and his defense of him:- self brought to him bid politiegSi friends whose ini^uence will be felt Upon the eighth day oi November. > iiow Ca*n«^ Tuesday when, the candidate met at McCrays store, Faucette township to discuss the issue* and announpe their candidacy^ The young and pleasing speaker upon the Demooratic ticket for the lower house, did not eve» mention M^on Butler and his connection With the bond issue.

Wha,t doef our neighbor the itJews say aboitf: this. Is the si^ech of our yoiinc friend changed to suit certain sec tions and fit local conditions. The Index system for Ala mance qounty that the candidate for re^ster of deeds on the Deirri- oemtic ticket talks so nauch about, and which does not bene fit the farmei* and average tax paj^er, but is a boon to the Law yers, cost the tax payers in the county nearly twenty five hund red dollars, why hot put in some system that . will, benefit the farmer.
