CAMPBELL ZEB. B. BUCHANAN X HICKORY, N. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 2,1908. GOVERNOR C. R. AYCOCK. Strong Letter Favoring the Nomination of Locke Craig. News and Observer. Goldsboro N. C. Mar. 25, 08. Dear Sir: It has been my habit ever since I became a voter to support some body for nomination for various offices. lam always for some body and never any Democrat. This time I am for the nomination of Mr. Locke Craig. lam supporting him be cause I know him and hase known him for thirty years. He and I were classmates, and I boarded for one year at his mother's table. I know the man in his personal and private life; I know his public career. He is a gentleman, a patriot, and a statesman. He has the courage of his convictions. He has the unselfishness of a genu ine love for the people. No toil has ever been too arduous f or him to undertake in behalf of Democracy. He made the first speech which was made in the year of our revolution, 1898. It was his speech which set the pace for that campaign. I made the second speech from the same platform with him, and followed his footsteps. His speech was along the line of appealing to the old Democracy and going to the people on the bad record made by the Republican party. He frankly and openly avowed, the thought that a straight fight in behalf of Democracy would redeem the State. From the hour he made that speech until the election in November, 1898, I never ceased to believe for one moment that we would win the great victory which we achieved that year. While he was going to and fro through the State awakening all our people, his own people in Buncombe county nominated him for the Legisla ture and elected him, and he came to the Legislature in 1899 and rendered most valuable service in perfecting the Consti tutional Amendment, which has already accomplished so much good for the State. But the adoption of the amendment by the Legislature was but the be ginning of one of the greatest fights that this State has ever seen. The Amendment was greatly misunderstood by the people at first and the Republi cans made a most adroit appeal to the unlettered white voters and sought to convince them that the adoption of the Amend ment would disfranchise them and their'children. No one con tributed more to the removal of this difficulty than Locke Craig. As I recall it, he began his can vass in, Buncombe county in . January or February •of 1900, : and from then until the Novem ber election he worked without ceasing. When J reached the mountains in May of that year, on mv canvass, I found that his splendid work had preceded me and the Democracy was fast un iting 4n suppoit of the Amend ment When the election came, the fruit of h»s work in that country was seen from the fact that the Amendment came near carrying the mountain district, and I had carried it by a small majority; a thing which no one would have predicted in January 1900. Mr. Craig is a true Dento crat believing in the right of the people to make nominations and platforms; but when the plat form is made and he is elected upon it, no number of men, how ever great, could make him vary one iota from the requirements of it He is a liberal and broad-mind ed man. He loves his friends and has no enemies to hate. In him as Governor, I believe we shall have not only good government but good , government with a united party, carrying out every pledge in the platform and stead ily growing in the confidence of the people I sincerely hope to see him nominated. That he wauld be elected follows as a matter of course. Very truly yours, _ C. B. AYCOCK. Conover Items. Correspondent to the Democrat. Dr. Mac Yount is doing well since his late illness.

In school district No. 13 of Hickorv township, .the citizens are going to vote a special school tax. Some oppose it because the tax they clajp can go as high as SI.OO on the SIOO worth of prop erty and $3.00 on the poll. This is wrong according to the law as follow: Sec. 72. Public school law in regard to amount of taxes that can be levied says. There shall be levied in said district a special aunual tax of not more than 30c on the one hundred dollars valu ation of property and 90c on the pole to supplement the Public School Fund.—All money levied under the provisions of this act shall be placed to the credit of the school committee of said dis trict to be used the best interest i of the school. The hireing of teachers is in the I hands of the school committee i who are "under oath to use all i funds to the best advantage of i the school. - t , FOLEYSHONET^TAR #>f HQ •PIMTM ' ? 'J *~ M Think They Buy the Elec tion It is now well understood that the program of the liquor forces in North Carolina is well mapped out. When, the matter was Sub mitted to the people they all said it would be certain to carry and inasmuch as seventy odd counties would remain dry any how, no organized fight could be made. Some temperance people were disposed to accept this statement, _ which was made broadcast by the leaders of the anti-prohibition forces. It may be that this statement was made for the very purpose of 1 ailing the temperance forces to sleep. It is now apparent that the op ponents of the State prohibition bill have plenty of money. It is stated that two of their leaders went to New York last week and had conferences with the repre ssntatives of the wholesale liquor interests.' It is well known that the Brewers' Association in ses sion in New Orleans two weeks ago determined to spend millions in trying to stem the temperance wave in the South. It was only when sure that they would have money to hire organizers that the anti-prohibition forces got busy. Their program now is not to have any public speeches and not to make any appeal to the voters in the open but to hire one or more managers in each county in the State, and for these local managers to hire organizers in every township in the State and it is believed they have abundant money to make a house to house canvass. The big claims that they are now making are based upon the fact that they think by the use of money they can carry North Carolina, or that they can make such a showing in many counties as to open the door for what they believe will be a react ion against temperance. The wholesale liquor interests and brewers are putting up the money and flooding the State with campaign literature. They think they can advance their cause best by sending out litera ture to the voters than to make a direct appeal to the reason and conscience of the people. Par ties who get this literature should understand that most of it is unsigned, and nearly, if not all of it is paid for by the linuor interests; in other words paid for by blood money. When they understand this most of the good people of the State will throw it in the waste-basket and refuse to be influenced by circu lars paid for by liquor money any more than they would be influ enced by bribes offered them from the same source. There are good men in North Carolina who are opposed to the principle of State prohibition. They are entitled to the respect of their prohibition neighbors. Certainly this paper would never reflect upon them. It is differ ent with the hired men who are paid by the brewers and liquor interests to fight to put .money in their pockets. The latter class having no convictions, are seeking to use liquor, money to buy the election. The sincere anti-prohibitionists know that if no money is spent by the brewers and liquor dealers to carry votes,, prohibition will have a large ma jority. Some of them have in deed, said that though not in favor of prohibition, they would not vote against it but would be willing for it to have a fair trial, while others will cast their votes against it. They have no sym pathy with paid agents of the whiskey traffic to corrupt the voters and debauch the suffrage and many of them will rebuke the corrupt use of money by either voting prohibition or re fusing to vote with any crowd whose campaign fund comes Democrat and Press, Consolidated 1905. from the whiskey manufactuiers and brewers. In May the hired men who now think the liquor dealers in Kentucky and Illinois can buy votes .will find that respectable opponents of prohibition will not stand for the brazen use of money sent into the state to cor rupt votes.

The following anecdote of Henry Clay was told by one of bis personal friends: While making the journey to Wash ington on the National road, just after : his nomination as candidate for the presideacy, he was traveling one stormy night, wrapped up in a huge cloak, on the back seat of the stage- ' Coach when two passengers entered. They were Kentuckians, like himself. * He fell asleep and when he awoke found them discussing his chances in the coming campaign. "What did Harry Clay go Into poll- f tics for?" said one. "He had a good bit of land; he had a keen eye for stock. If he had stuck to stock raising ' he'd have been worth his fifty thou- ' sand. But now he doesn't own ar dol- ' lar." "And," the great Kentuckian used to add, "the worst of it was, every word r of it was true!" ' It was characteristic of the man that at the next stopping place he hurried away and took another coach lest his' critics should recognize him and be mortified at their unintentional rude-' ness.
