They Have Openly Violated Section 752 of the Code, and Have Been Guilty of Many Other Questionable Proceed ings Running for Chairman? RUXHERFORDTON, Aug. 1, 1904. Editor Tribune: In a former arti cle giving position of C. M. Lynch, chairman board of countv commis sioners, I had thought to draw fire from Mr. Lynch but I failed, to get a re ply to my first gun. I shall therefore be compelled to drop a few more shells into the fort with a view to getting some sort of a shot in this direction, if, indeed, the commander, Mr. Lynch, has not already evacuated it. Shot No. 1. Much is being said in reference to the improvements made on the court house and Mr. Charley Lynch is generally given credit for this very inferior, uncomfortable and leaky job. This and the new jail cost the county $17,500. The contracts were made, as the writer is informed, be hind closed doors. Mr. Lankford, the superintendent, said the contract had i cost the company several hundred dol lars. Who got that several hundred for contract behind closed doors? j Shot No. 2. We are informed on what we consider reliable authority that the records show that Mr. Lynch was paid two dollars per day for one month less several days to superin tend the work, while Mr. Lynch was sick and at home. In the first place, everv man that knows Mr. Lvnch knows that he does not know much about work, not being a practical me chanic; and in the second place, that he should not be paid for services he could not render because of sickness. Does Mr. Lynch do business wholly for the county or partly for himself? Shot No. 3. I have been informed by good men that when this town was unfortunately partly consumed by fire, in January 18, Mr. Lynch a dav or two later walked up the street as chairman whether his associates so elect or not. Shot No. 9. Before entering upon their duties the county commissioners are required to take the following oath, Code section, 3315: "I, A. B., do swear (or affirm) that I will well and truly execute the duties of the office of county commissioner according to the best of my skill and abilitv, according to law: So help me, jGod." Section 752 of the Code, reads as follows: "The board shall cause. to be post ed at the court house within five days after each regular December meeting and for at least four successive weeks, the name of every individual whose ac count has been audited, the amount claimed and the amount allowed; and also at the same time a full statement PLAN OF HOLD ING PRIMARIES. DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE DRAWS UP RULES. A Petition in Writing Asking for a Pri mary Must be Presented to the Coun ty Committee Polls Must be Open for Voting at Least Six Hours.

"The board shall also pub lish the said statement in 'some news paper in the county: Provided, the cost of such publication shall not ex ceed one-half of a cent a word." Also see section 711 of the Code: . "Any commissioner who shall neg lect to perform any duty required of him by law as a member of the board, shall be guilty af a misdemeanor, and shall also be liable to a penalty of two hundred dollars for each offence, to be paid to any person who shall sue for the same." I sufferest that the above law in ref erence to annual reports has been vio lated by the board of county commis j sioners for the last two years. Mr. Lynch has been chairman of the board for the entire time named. If the law does not suit our present board that makes no difference; they had nothing to do with making it, but they were sworn to obey it, and the penalties for 1 such neglect are clearly pointed out.

Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart trouble can remember when it was simple indiees tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to. but are the direct result of Indi gestion. All food taken Into the stomach which falls of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, puffing it up against the heart., This Interferes with the action of the heart, and in the course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.

Shot No. 5. -He favored the dis pensary because oi the revenue in it, andhis public utterances on this sub ject alone are enough to damn him politically in the eyes of all sober men. According to ins iaea, coum the dispensarv have been retained this county now would have money to burn. Shot No. 6. When nominated on a former occasion, or after his election he said the people ought to thank him for accepting the place and not he thank them for their votes. It seems with such a good lot of men to choose from, we might excuse Mr. Lynch for making further sacrifices and again , placing the people under obligations to thank him after his ten years ser vice as commissioner. Shot No. 7. We saw it recently stated in the papers that the present board of commissioners had built and repaired during their recent adminis tration over two hundred fifty bridges in this county. We have not time to discuss this bridge question fully, but will say in a general way that Spar tanburg, S. C, is our natural market and there is not a bridge spanning Broad River from the McClure bridge to the South Carolina and Cleveland county lines, a distance of from fifteen to twenty miles. Why did they not locate one out of this 250 some where on this needed line of communication? Shot No. 8. Mr. C. M. Lynch an nounces Himself in The bun as a can didate for chairman of the board of county commissioners. The law pro vides that after their election in November, that the commissioners, after being sworn, shall organize by the election of one of their number as chairman. His announcement is cheeky, not provided for by law, and an insult to his associates, they may be. The idea of running for chairman is a new one and must have originated Democrats in the United States have a majority of more than 1,000,000 voters. According to the United are more than 2,000,000 black voters. The lar gest majority of any Republican presi dent has been about 950,000. That was the majority of MeKinley over Bryan in 190. In the coming elec tion the Democrats would be sure to elect a President were it not for the negro vote, as you will see by the fol lowing figures from the official United States census of 1900 (the vote is taken from the State elections of 1902:) Negroes Republican of Voting Age.

The census gives 2,065,989 negroes in the United States of voting age. This statement shows plainly that there are 155,000 negro votes in the seven States named, while the Repub licans had a total majority of less than 44,000 votes. Or, in other words, there are between three and four times as many negro votes in these States as the Republican majority in the States named in 1902. If these States were added to the Democratic column a Democnatic President would be cer tain of election. It may be said the Republicans have these black votes, and what are you going to do about it. I answer, we will act within the law, without violen ce or injustice to any. Let the white people of the country understand they are ruled by the black vote added to the Republicans, and a remedy may come. The white men of this country pay nearly all the taxes, and they should rule.. The supreme court of States recently delivered in a case in relation to went up from Maryland, comittee shall appoint two well known Domocrats for each precinct or other voting district, who shall conduct such election, receive ballots, count them, de clare the result, and make a written statement thereof. 3. These poll-holders shall provide the necessary ballot boxes. Candidates for the General Assembly shall be voted for in one box, county officers voted for in another box, township officers in one box, and township executive committee in one box. The hours shall be from 10 o'clock a. in. to 5 p. m.f provided the county committee shall designate other j hours. But in no case shall the time be less than six hours. 4. Any Democratic candidate who is voted for in said primary election may attend same, in person or by representa tive, and be present during the conduct of said election and counting the vote. Every white Democratic elector shall have the right to vote at his proper poll ing place, and in case the vote of a man claiming to be a Democratic elector is challenged on the ground that" he is not qualified as elector or is not a Democrat, he shall not be denied the privilege of voting except by the judgment of both poll-holders. Every challenge shall be recorded and any candidate dissatisfied with the result shall have the right to appeal to the county executive commit tee, which shall hear the same and allow or disallow the vote, and shall ameud the returns in accordance with its judgment upon said appeal. 5. At the close of the voting it shall be the duty of the poll-holders in the presence of such candidates or their rep resentatives and any Democrat who wishes to attend, to at once count the ballots and make returns immediately to the county committee. 6. Within five days after the holding of the primary it shall be the duty of . the county executive committee to meet, ascertain and declare the result, any person who has received a majority of all the votes cast for the office shall be the nominee of the party for such office. If no person has received a majority of all the votes cast, but one has received a plurality, the committee shall declare didates for the Legislature shall be made under the plan of the organiza tion in force prior to the adoption of the resolution adopted by the State committee July 26. The following is also given in The News and Observer : The sub-committee appointed Tuesday evening by the State Democratic Execu tive Committee to draft a plan -of op tional primaries provided for by resolu tion and to submit the same to Chair man Simmons, completed its work by two o'clock yesterday afternoon. The new plan must be followed in all cases where a primary is desired to be held ; if the plan is not adopted nomi nations must be made under the plan of organization heretofore prevailing, the provisions of which are as follows: "6. At every precinct meeting there shall (before the delegates to the county convention are elected) be a vote taken for the different candidates for office, whose names may be presented and the delegates shall vote in the county con vention of their respective districts in accordance with this vote : that is to say, each candidate shall receive in the county convention that proportion of the vote to which the precinct may be entitled which he received in the pre cinet meeting. The chairman and secre tary of the precinct meeting shall certi fy to the county convention the vote re ceived by each candidate at the precinct meeting. "7. Each precinct shall be entitled to cast at the county convention one vote for every twenty-five Democratic votes and one vote for fractions of thirteen Democratic votes cast by the township at the last preceding gubernatorial election: Provided, that every voting precinct shall be entitled to cast one vote, and each precinct mav send as ' many delegates as it may see fit. "8. The. chairman of the Precinct Committee shall preside at all precinct meetings. In their absence any other member ot said committee may pre side." The new plan which has been form ally approved by Chairman Simmons, ana is now a part oi the party law as follows: 'Plan for holding primary elections for the nomination of Democratic can didates for county and township officers and members of the Legislature and township executive committee, in pur suance of resolution adopted by the State Democratic Executive Committee at its meeting held "in Raleigh on the 26th day of July, 1904. "At its meeting held for the purpose of calling a county convention to nomi nate canddidates for county offices and members of the Legislature, the County Democratic Executive Committee may, upon motion, determine the question of nominating such candidates by primary election as provided for in the following resolution of the State Exe cutive Committee : "Resolved, That this committee will provide an optional primary, to be adopted by the executive committee of any county desiring to nominate county candidates and me j bers of the Legis lature by a primary. That the chair man is authorized to appoint a sub committee to formulate such a plan, and when approved by the chairman the said plan shall become a part of the plan of organiation. "Where any county executive com mittee has already called a primary. such county executive committee may formulate and promulgate its own rules for such election already ordered. The plan provided for in this resolution wii not supersede the present plan, except in those counties adopting this plan." - Editor Tribune: I desire a small space in your valued paper in which to reply to an article published in the issue of The Sun of last week over the signature of S. Gallert. in which the distinguished author, distinguish ed for his trickery, has thought prop er to abuse me without cause, and not only to abuse but to misrepresent me by statements wholly wanting in truth, as I shall be able to show. The first thing of which I may right fully complain is the fact that this among the knowing ones, was never made public until one week before the primary, and at a time when it was thought any reply on my part would be necessarily too late to be effective. His boasted chivalry of never striking below the belt is contradicted by such a course, and I characterize such ac tion to cowardice and downright meanness. Gallert says there is no Gallert fac tion and he was nearer the truth m that statement than he intended. A baiter's dozen will nearly clean up that part of the crowd. There ape factions, however, and Sol Gallert simply lied when he said the Demo cratic party of this county was united and harmonious. " Mr. Gallert was the legal adviser of the Board that under his direction did an illegal act, as is well known by every well in formed person in this county. Here is where the trouble began, and if there is any one man more guilty than another for the present state of Demo cratic dissatisfaction that man is Sol Gallert. The caption of his article reads, "S. Gallert hot after Morrow." He has been hot after me for some time because I have been much in his way; I wa in his way two years ago; I was in his way this spring; I am still in his way. Sol Gallert has been a bone of contention in every conven tion held by the Democratic party since he has had any official connec tion with it. He has been a candidate for every thing in sight, . and still would sacrifice his life almost for office. I suggest that he offer for Coroner since Dr. Edwards has de clined to accept a re-nomination, and let the Democratic party place him on a stretcher as tne first victim, and let the verdict be, "Died of a broken heart because of disappointed ambition." Mr. Gallert seems to think that as a -lawyer I ought to have more sense than to promulgate an untenable plat form and proceeds to take the cover off and expose the demagogery dis played; he also advises his friends, as though he had them, to vote for men who make no promises. He has had Alexander in training and he has promised nothing, which is one com mendable trait in Jake, for he has misrepresented this county already for four years. If he ever did any thing during the two sessions he was in Raleigh it does not appear on the records. Don't blame him for not making promises. Sol. Gallert makes a great D.F.Morrow. I). W. Smith.
