Par tho truth of this statement read the law aa it appliea to thia county.
WHO IS THE DADDY OF THE AUSTRALIAN
BALLOT LAW ANYWAY?
"Gum" Jackson attempt* to prove by various letter*\hat he
didn't know anything about the passage of the law for Surry County.
Wouldn't it be a sad day for him to prove to the people of Surry County
who ehose him as their representative in the legislature, that he knew »
nothing in the world about the passage of the most important law that
was enacted for Surry County, while he was the representative? He
publishes a letter attempting to show that Senator Boyett charges A. E.
Woltz with having the law passed- Read the following letter from
Senator Boyett:
Ma M. loyttt
Raal Batata
Aftiiarta. N. C.
Oct. 21, 1924.
Senator A. E. Woltz,
Gastonia, N. C.
Dear Senator:
Yoors of the 18th relative to the Australian ballot law for Surry
county received. -
I will say in reply that I have never had any conversation what
soever with Mr. Jackson. Representative from Surry, relative to this
matter, nor have I ever received a letter from Mr. W. M. Jackson. As
far aa 1 know you had nothing to do with placing Surry county under
this law.
Yem ~ry truly.
J. M. BOYETT.
Now what is the truth about the matter? If further proof 1a
necessary we can prove by Henry Hampton that before leaving for the
Special Session of the legislature, "Gum" Jackson told Henry Hampton
that he waa coins to have the polls roped off so that the booth would be
100 feet from the ropes- This in itself is a part of the law aa it now ap
plies to Surry County. It is understood and affidavits can be produced
that "Gum" Jackson has stated that he thought it waa a good law.
Furthermore the first news of the new law came from O. B. Webb,
Chairman qi the Republican party in Surry County, when he got a
copy of the law. *
More False Statements to Fool
The Voters
Prom some unknown source n report has been sent oat saying
that the present county commissioners have borrowed large sums of
money to pay the current expenses of the county because the sheriff
had not collected the taxes. This report is hereby branded as an abso
lute untruth in every respect. Sheriff C. H. Haynes has collected and
tuned over to the county treasurer more than $400,000.00 in tax money
and has yet to advertise and sell a single man for his taxes. Every
county voucher and every county school voucher has been paid when
presented. This is a record not equalled by the previous sheriff, for
the commissioners of the preceding administration were often forced to
borrow large sums of money to pay current expenses of the county. W.
1. Byerly says that the records wil show that he and Alex Chsthsm
have not borrowed pae cent for ci rrent expenses except when they
were forced to borrow twenty or thi ty thousand dollars in IMS because
A. E. Tilley had the tax books oijtift county and would not release
them, demanding a large sum of mot ey from the county for the collec
tion This amount has been paid andt he notes delivered up and can
celled. Furthermore the present commissioners ewe ne one a single
cent for current expenses and a careful sstimate shows that when their
term is up on December 1, 1924, there w*U be a surplus o* $24,460.00.
And the Tax rate for the coming year has been reduced TWELVE
CENTS on the hundred dollars.
These are the facts and the records of Surry County wiH prove
them true to anyone who has the interest of the county enough at heart
to make an investigation. Those who are true to themselves and their
children will not be mislead by the many fake and »sUnions rspurts
bein* circulated by candidates without makfaur an investigation. So
Vote your ticket and reet assured that every vote east will be counted
