SENSATION AT WAYNESVILLE.
Democratic Officials Charsed With
Releasing Lewd Women From
Haywood Jail.
Waynesville, N. C, Sept. 29. Con-,
siderable interest is centering just
now in an event in which W A. Pal
mer, sheriff and Democratic andidate
for re-election, and Drayton Hender
son, chairman of the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners and candidate for
re-election, seemed to have played
the prominent parts.
The facts are about as follows: At
the last term of court two women
were sentenced to eight months in
jail. In August, before their terms
had expired, they were liberated. At
first it was reported that Governor
Kitchln had pardoned them, but that
was disjroved. In explanation of
his act, Sheriff Palmer Is alleged to
have said that Chairman Henderson
ordered their release, but Henderson,
In a newspaper article, denied it.
Palmer has been busy recently en
deavoring to recapture the women,
and has succeeded in landinc one
back In jail. The other, however, is
still at large.
As a sequel, many Democrats are
now demanding that both Palmer
and Henderson be taken off the tick
et, declaring that they will not vote
tor them in the November election.
The outcome is eagerly watched for.
CAN'T SELL THE WHISKEY YET.
He Names Important Issue Which
Should be Discussed Would Like
to Hear Craig's Defense of the
Deep Wrong in Which He Took
Part In Trying to Blacken the Ik-cord
of Three Supreme Court Judg
es The Unjust System of Taxa
tion. Hon. Iredell Meares, the candidate
for Governor of the Progressive and
Roosevelt Republicans, has challeng
ed the Hon. Locke Craig, Democratic
candidate for Governor, for a joint
canvass. Several days ago Mr. Settle
challenged Mr. Craig, but Mr. Craig
and his committee declined, one of
the reasons given was the fact that a
majority of the party were really
Progressives and were not following
Mr. Settle. It would seem to indicate
that Mr. Craig thought Mr. Meares
would be the proper man to challenge
him. This Mr. Meares has done, and
In reciting some important matters
that should be aired before public,
Mr. Meares says:
"There are matters and things up
on which we might really inform the
public. I would like to hear your
defense of several wrongs which your
party has inflicted upon the State
that should lead to its repudiation.
"(1) There Is the lease of the
North Carolina Railroad, at night,
secretly, five years before the expira
tion of the old lease, at 7 per cent per
annum on the stock held by the
State, aggregating three million dol
lars par value, when, if open bids
had been called for, there was an
offer which the State might have
accepted at 10 per cent. This has
caused the State to lose the difference
between 7 and 10 per cent, or $90,
000 annually for the ninety-years'
period of the lease, or will cause it
in time to lose an aggregate of eight
million nine hundred and ten dol
lars. "(2) There is the dismemberment
of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
Railroad, permitted by the Legisla
ture of 1899, which cut that railroad
in two; gave one-half of it to the
Southern and the other half to the
Coast Line, destroyed the possibility,
of a trunk line and subjected the,
Central North Carolina territory to
the freight rates now In existence
and eliminated the then existing
competition of this line with other
railroads. This was done after the
Federal courts had held nt could not
legally be done, without legislative
sanction, and it is singular that the
sanction was concurrent with receipt j
by your party chairman for cam
paign purposes of contributions from
the railroads. Mr. Simmons admits
this, the then chairman,, and defends
his action in taking them and in us
ing his influence with the Democratic
Legislature to prevent discrimina
tion against the railroads, because
he says it was necessary to redeem
the State. I have been informed
that this contribution from the rail
roads was $15,000.. Were those
railroads to be judges of that con
stituted discrimination? 'The cost
for redemption came high.'
"(3) I would like to hear the de
fense by so eloquent a speaker of
that deep wrong in which you took
a part, in the attempt by impeach
ment to blacken the reputations, hu
miliate then and their families and
consign to infamy the justices of the
Supreme Court, Judges Furches and
Douglas, as well as the memory of
the late Judge Faircloth. These men
were gentlemen whose lives were
above reproach, and merely for a
judicial act were subjected to as
high-handed a proceeding, in myj
opinion, as ever was attempted In
North Carolina. It has always seem
ed to me a disgraceful episode in this
State that the group of politicians
in Raleigh at the time should have
forgotten the respect due to charac
ter and should have aimed to destroy,
it to create vacancies in the Supreme
Court of North Carolina because they
differed from the court that the con
struction of statues and the power of
the courts to issue units.
"(4) I would like to hear your
exculpation of the antiquated, cum
bersome and unjust system of taxa
tion, including our school system,
which your party has dono little to'
correct, and its cant about local self
government while invading it at ev
ery turn to suit the whim of party
exigency.
"There are other matters and
things both State and National
which I would like to have the op
portunity to hear you in joint debate
discuss, and not the least of these
would be to hear you answer that
enigmatical question, 'Wnat is a
Democrat?' "
