BILL DAY, BUCK KITCHEN AND HALIFAX
COUNTY.
A few weeks ago we published an
article regarding Halifax county,
giving the substance of a speech de
livered by one who was born and
raised there, but who now lives in
another part of North Carolina. T he
speaker was a clear-headed man;
not only were his perceptions very
acute, bat he was also honest, and
told some plain and honest truths, in
a very positive manner. He drew a
contrast between the good old times
when bis old fellow citizens had
been prosperous, contented and hap
py, and the present days, when the
roads and bridges of Halifax are out
of repair, the fences down, the houB
es without glass or paint, the fields
grown up in sassafras bushes, sage
straw and cnckle burrs. He
said the best of the people LiWl left
the county. Indeed, he painted a
gloomy picture of things; and show
ed how the lands had depreciated in
value, and no one was investing any
capital in the old county. He pre
dicted that Bill Day would be sent
to the senate and Buck Kitchen to
the house of representatives of the
legislature of North Carolina. He
explained that all the hard times
of Halifax, one of the richest and
best counties in the State, by nature
were attributable to the bad politics
introduced by these two bad and un-
scrupulous men. He condemned
the election methods which had
been adopted in the county through
the instrumentality of these two

with Democratic money. Neither
Bill Day nor Buck Kitchen, separ
ately, or together, have money
enough, at fifty cents a head, to buy
the negro voters of Halifax county
In 1890, by the United States
censu?,the aggregate white population
of Halfax was 9,614, and the negroes
then numbered 19,294, or nearly
ten thousand more than the whites.
The same year the white males of
the voting age were 2,291 altogether
and the negross of the same
age
were 3.711. that is 1.420 more ne
gro votes than whites in the county,
In 1888 Harrison polled 2,867
and Cleveland 2,488 votes in Hali
fax; Harrison's majority over Cleve-
land was 397 votes. In 1892 Cleve-
land had 3,079 votes, Harrison 1,376
and Weaver 451. Cleveland's plu
ralitv over Harrison was 1.703 and
4 '
Vila Tnainrifw nwr Knf h TTarrlsnn and
J
Weaver was 1,252. The total vote
of the county in 1888 was 5,5o5 and
in 192 it was 4,906; so it was
44y more ln 1803 tnan in ioa, wnen
the natural increase should have

was 1,491 more in 1888 than it was

Now who has brought these mar-

they would go with the mark upon

Vesay to the readers of The
Caucasus that, while the case of
Halifax county is an excessively bad
one, it is not unlike very many other
counties in North Carolina. The
election laws of the State are rotten,
and the hearts of those who admin
ister the laws are corrupt It is

A BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
There are some people who are as
foolish as the puppy, which when his
tail was pinched, turned and bit the
man nearest to him without knowing
or caring who did the pinching. We
heard one of this foolish c1jmh a few
days since say, that the merchants
were charging big profits and that
was what was the matter with the
country. This kind of sillv twaddle
alwava makoa na TW
some merchants who are dishonest
and will oppress a man when they
get him in their clutches, it is true,
just as there are some farmers who
will do their neighbors the same way
when they get a chance. This class
of our citizens were once larger than
they are now. The wonderful cam-
paigu of education that has been go-
ing on has opened the eyes of a great
majority to the fact, that the great
curse of the country to-day is the J
industrial system whinh we have
that bleeds the millions including
merchants, farmers, and the great

After Stonewall Jackson's death a
New York merchant said of him, 1
never met Mr. Jackson but once,
yet an incident in which he had part
extended a strong influence over ray
early life. I was a boy in college,
eager to be considered a man, but
often hesitating to maintain the
principles taught me by my mother
lest I should be called weak and
womanish.
I happined to be seated at supper
one night next to Jackson, who was
a somewhat younger lad than I.
while waiting to be served, one of
the boys drew from his. pocket an
indecent picture on a card, and
passed it to his neighbor. It was
slyly circulated among the students
nearly by with shouts of laughter.
When it came to Jackson, he glanced
at it and threw it down contemptu
ously, saying quietly: "That is silly
and beastly!"
The boys were silent. One of
them threw the card on the lire. I
felt a sudden stiffening of my whole
moral nature. It was so easy for
him to be decent and manly! Why
not for me?
I can say candidly that that mo
mentary touch of strong, bold
nature put new health and vigor
into my own.

JEFFERSON AKD JACKSON
Were Opposed to Banks of Issue Doth
State and National.
Andrew Jackson it was who said,
"if congress has the right under the
constitution to issue paper money, it
was given them to be used by them
selves, not to be delegated to indivi
duals or banking corporations.'"
Thos. Jefferson it was who said
'Bank paper must be suppressed,
and the circulating medium must be
restored to the nation to whom it be
longs. It is the only fund on which
we ean rely for loans, it is ear only
resource which can never fail us, and
it is an abundant one for every neces
sary purpose."

Jefferson and Jackson and have the
manhood to back up your belief with
your votes, what party ' will you be

Sketch. Mr. Ilownblower was
born in Peterson, X. J., May 13,
1S37. He graduated from Prince

of Columbia College in 1875. Much
of his knowledge no doubt, was im
bibed from his two uncles, Judge
Hxlruff aud Joseph P. Bradlev who
was Justice of the U. S. Supreme
Court, with whom he discussed legal
luestions,

Beneath a weeping willow tree
The village gin mill stands,
The boss, a patriot true is he,
The State heeds his commands.
He decorates the country round
With red and white and blue,
And struts as if he owns the ground

The red is on the drunkard's nose,
Children's cheeks are white:
The poor wife's eye, from drunken
blows,
Shows blue since yester night.
And so 'tis well, 'tis very well,
That red, white blue should be
The flag beneath which cowards
Who license such as he.
