Monday July the 2nd the Repub licans through their executive com mittee submitted a list, containing the names of men of their choice for J udges of election, there being nine precincts, we were entitled to nine Judges, one for each precinct but instead of showing a disposi tion to treat the Republican party with some consideration, this par tizan election board ignored our request, und only appointed one man we asked for. While they appointed, one Republican for each voting place, the Republican party through its executive committee only got one man asked for. It shows the little pariizanship of the board, in thus ignoring a courteous, yet reasonable request. The fol lowing are the names of the judges appointed, Calahaln, J. S. Rat ledge & Jv D. Walker; Clarksville, T. M, Peoples & A. BT McMahan; Fork Church, George McDaniel & Julius Hobbs; Farmington. H. L. Cook & Thos. M. Dixon, Jerusal- em, J. JN. Charles As W. . Reck: Mocksville, Geo, W. Sheek & W. A. Clement; Smith Grove, Jas. Taylor & F, A, Naylor; East Shady Grove, Gannon Tolbert & John II Hartman; "West Shady Grove, John A. Davis & J, H. Cornatzer. Now, we have not one word to say against the appointment of these Republicans, they are good men, but its the ignoring of the Republican party by these Sim mons satrapi, under the Republi can Populist election law, the Democrats had the naming of one registrar and one judge, bat under Mr. Simmons infamous partizan law you get what they are pleased to give you. There is a day of re coning coming for these men who are trampling upon the rights of the people and under the guise of law are plotting to steal the liber ties of the poor white men of this state. Go it gentlemen, you can go so far and no farther. Below we give yon the list of names sub mitted by the Republicans, was there any reason why they should have ignored this list, .C. L. Cook, S. J. Smoot, John Lyons, L. A. Bailey, Gannon Tol oert, Ephelder Lassiter, J. H. Sauuder3, C. L. Weir, C Harbin. Can any body surmise the reas on why the above list with the one exception was ignored? They had the power and authority to do it, and they did. The poor white men of this country can entrust theii liberties with such men if they wish, but sooner or later they will regret it. Let them once get entrenched in power behind a one sided, partizan electi-Jii law, and an eliminating amendment, and you will see the despotic sway of an intolerant oligarchy. Go to the polls and preserve your rights and libertiess THE SECRET GIVEN AWAY. The Charlotte Observer, the leading Democratic paper, in its issue of June 6tb, 1900, editorially says: "The struggle of the white peo ple of North Carolina to rid them selves of the danger of the rule of negroes and the lower classes of whites is being watched with in terest outsideof the state." Does this mean that "no white man should e deprived of his vote?" This editorial can only mean that the poor illiterate labor ing white mm must bs disfran chise I. Not nntil suffragejs limi. ted exclusively to the wealthy and aristocratic classes will the advoca tes of the suffrage amendment think "white sugremacy is made permaLent," . , - Honest but poor laboring man reflect before you cast your ballot to deprive you and your posterity of the riohest heritage the ballot for by your ballot you must pro tect your rights against the over reaching and grasping power of those who think they were born to rule and,oppress the poor, ' CHAINED TO A NEGRO. The Dharl)tte News of Friday, June 29, reports that on that day Charles Crowder, a white man from Moortsville was chained to a ne gro and driven by a negro over- eeJ1lnn; Se.' 6treetg of Cha lotte. The News says: t( A r.,l,n ; , . s uitc prisoner cnaineu to a negro. "It was this sight that made the blood of Charlotte white men boil this morning. xwac. xraue Brreec a negro 'trusty ' 1 was driving a chain gang wagon and in this wagon in his charge were two prisoners, a white man and a negro, chained togeth er. "Probably fifty people saw them as tiie wagon moved down Trade street. White men were indignant at the sight and asked hotly who was responsible for the outrage. Mr. John P. Morris saw it and re solved at once to get the white man's release. He asked the Diis- oner what he was sht to the chain gang for, and when told the amount of the fine proceeded to raise it in short order. 'The white man said his name was Charles Chrowder, and he was from Mooresville. 'l was arrested for. a plain drunk." he saU. "I did'nt liarai anybody but myself. I might have somehow raised- the amount of the present fine $2,50, but the police added to the bill the balance due on an old fine for drunkenness that I owed last Feb ruary, and made the amount $5,10, so I had to sere the time on the road. "Robert Phifer a negro, was in charge of the two prisoners. He is what is knwn as a "trusty." i. e. a convict who by good conduct has won the confidence of the boss of the camp, and who is allowed a large measure of liberty. He said he was sent in by Mr. Staucil for the convicts, he found a white man and a negro to carry out, and chained them together as i a matter of course. Deputy Sher ! iff Johnson refuseu to handcuff them together he said, and so he (the trusty) chained them him self." This is a sample of Democratic "white supremacy." Charlotte is a Democratic city under the con trol of Democratic officials. . Dem ocrats alone are responsible for this outrage, Times-Mercury. DEMOCRATIC NEGROISM. The Democrats of Watauga county, ic the year of grace 1900 elected a negro as delegate to the convention which nominated Chas, B. Aycock. How is that for high, ehl The Democratic legislature of 1872 and 3 elected Guilford Christ J mas, a negro from Warren county assistant door keeper of the Senate over a Mr. Ochiltree a white man of Alamance county. "Physician heal thyself," The Democratic legislature of 1876 and 7 elected over one hun dred negro magistrates at one lick, see Journal of house of that date and read protest signed by nine members against the action the leg islature in electing negroes. We could fill a colum or more fiom the records showing their appointment and election of negroes to office, as jailors, county commissioners, con stables, poleceraen, deputv sheriffs &c; but this is enough; yet they squall nigger, and white suprema cy. EXAMINATION FOR TEACH ERS, I will hold public examination acthe court house in Mocksville tor teachers certificates, life certifi cates and entrance to the A. & M. college on July 12 and 13 for whites and 14th for colored teach ers. C. M. SHEETS, Co. Supt. Pub lust. STAND TO roUK PROMISE, It is stated that the Republican nominee lor the Legislature in this county makes the assertion that be fore any one can vote must be able to not only read aud write but must be able "to read latin." We do not see how he can mate such statements and would be glad to learn that the parties so reporting were mistaken, He used an illus tration a young man, who, he said, had an all-around education and yet, could not vote, while he (Sheets) could. Sueh stuff as this should not be notieed but it is said that he is using It with peo ple hat causes a doubt and we published it to see if he is correctly quoted and if not to correct it. If it is true the people of the county are entitled to know where he gets his information. " If he has said it and will prove his assertion ve will join him in voting against the amondment.-Davie Times. The above clipped from the Tim es of June 28tn gets the editor of the Times in a hole very similar to the hole Mr. Crisp of Caldwell got in some weeks ago, Charlie Sheets will have no trouble in proving the assertion and w hen he does the ed itor of the Times we suppose will march up to the polls on the 2nd day of August and vote against this unjust amendment. Now lets see if Charlie Sheets can prove his assertion first lets take that clause of the amended constitutional a mendment which covers the point. Sec, 4, "Every person prcsent- ina himself for registration shall be able to read and write any sec- tiou of the constitution in the En. gli&h language." Is not that plain shall read and writel Is the con, stitution all written in the English langjage? Turn to article 1, sec. tion 21. "The privileges of the writ, of "habeas corpus." shall not be suspended." The above section is taken from the Constitution of North Carolina. Mr voter can you read and write "habeos coepus" in the English laoguage? If you cannot how can you comply with the constitutional requirments should this amend ment be adopted! Turn to the constitution article 3, sec. 32, ar ticle 3, sec. 14, article 7, sections 2, 6 & 9. Now voter go re;id these sections and see if you don't find latin iu every one of them, then sit down and try to write them and read them in the English language. We dare say not one in 50 can do it. The editor of the Times can not do it without a lexicon, or un less some one who does know tells him. The Republican candidate will have no trouble in provicg his assertion, but will the editor of the Davie Times stand up to his prom- j isef Voter, don't you begin to see the plots and schemes that have ! been laid to catch the unwary?! Your rights and liberties are at stake, are you going to the polls and aid these schemers in their diabolical plot against the poor men of this state? Are you? OUR THANKS. The editor of the Record has been, can vassing Davie for the past two weeks in the interest of the great common people, and we cer tainly appreciate the almost uni form courtesy shown us. We have received words of commendation by mouth and by letter, which Bhows that our efforts are apprefe ciated. We have tried to observe the rules of decency, and shall con tinue so to do, it matters not what course others may pursue, unkind things have, and are being said of us by a few of our Democratic friends, for which they : have . our thanks also, Sam Jones says-the irUu . ...... -i" " hit dog alwayshowlfr. We try to avoid personalities as far as possi ble, but when we are assailed by our political opponents we shal strike back regardless of the conse quences. Eastern methods are sot going to be tolerated in this county and those who attempt them -will be sick of it before it goes yery far. Liberty of spsech, liberty of the press and liberty of conscience arc dear to the great common peo ple, and our Democratic friends will strike a snag when they at tempt to throttle either in this country. They can trample upon the flag, they can ignore the con stitution of the United t!i-4 States which they have sworn to support, but they cannot destroy our love of freedom, our love for truth, right and justice, and when they pull down the temple of liberty their own carcasses will be found under its rains. We will never be ruled by force and fraud. Is that plain? From the Wilmington Messenger 1398. The most stupid lie of the cam paign is the Populist lie put out by the Skis ner and Thompson gang and slyly repeated by the black radicals, the bald face lie that if the Democrats should carry the State they would disfranchise the negroes If they desired it e er so much, they have no poorer to effect it. The lie is so stupid that it could n t have beeu started and repeated but for the ' profo m-1 ig- j iiorance of the negroes generally. If they knew anything, they would know that 5orth Carolina has. no power under heaven to abridge the political rights and to deprive of the privilege of voting the negroes any more than the whites, The franchise is a right secured under the Constitution of the United States, and it takes the same pow er to abrogate the right as to con. fer, to repeal a law as to make it So it is all bosh and falsehood to try and bewilder and betool the poor, ignorant negroes in they way it has done. It is pitiful and mean to so work upon them by ly inff and deception. Their risht to vote is absolutely secure as the white man's right to vote. As we stated yesterday, the three amendments to the constitu tion introduced and adoptei soon after the war fixed the status of the negroes as citizens equal with that of the whites in their rights. The only way to rid the country of the negro ballot is by the same means and processes that were gone through with to enfranchise him in his stolid and stupid condition, So it is a lie out of the whole cloth when the dirty trixtrs imposed upon the ignorant, credulous neg roes by telling them that a Demo cratic victory means depriving him of the right to vote.
