SALISBURY, N. C, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1904. ESTABLISHED 188. Salisbury 7 WOT ROOM IN LEXINGTON For Messrs. Varner and Walser. The Hottest Time Yet in the Campaign. The Lexington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer gives us the spiciest tiling yet in the cam paign. He writes: 1 Several days ago the Democrats declined a challenge for Joint dis cussion with the Republican candi didates. On Wednesday, Mr. Varner; county chairman for the I Democrats: being informed that the Republicans were saying in their speeches over the county that the Democrats were afraid to meet the .Republicans, and seeing this published in-the INorth btate, the local Republican newspaper Wednesday, Mr. Varner sent a chat- lenge to Mr. A. 1. Walser, chairman of the Republican county commit tee, for a joint discussion between the opposing candidates, to begin today at noon in the court house, and to continue next week in the county. Today at the appointed , time, the Republicans did not show up. inc lemocrat-ic canuiaaies nil a i- i. j i ..wore on hand, and addressed about 1U0 people. Chairmfui Varner read the challenge, and made this statement: A PLAIN RTATKMKNT. "1 have owned and published the Dispatch since May 4, 189G.

I have been so friendly and courteous to these men that I have been criticised by some of my older party associates, who knew them better because they had had more experience.' These , leaders have been ungrateful re cently and have not shown the proper spirit. , . During the campaign of 1896 some of the Republican henchmen made threats against me for the purpose of bulldozing. Again, in 1900, I received various communications from this same crowd threatening , k n;ti, it dynamite, one threatening to kill ttxpl. and nt.hp.rs of :i t.hroatpninjr a nature. Again, in 1902, because I published the occupation of the candidate for sheriff on the Repub lican ticket, it came to my ears that said candidate threatened to beat mo up or kill me. During the last year the Dispatch received an pnymous communications which were indecent to publish. I think I know the Republican friend (?) who wrote them. I could have pub lished many things of cfn unpleas ant nature about my neighbor en emies, but I have refrained from all this because I love peace more than strife and bad feeling. : I am personally opposed to joint debates between county candidates for the reason that it is not for the moral uplifting and betterment of the county. But on account of tho manner in which the Republican campaign has been conducted, se far, in this county, I felt it my duty to challenge the opposition for a joint discussion to commence today, Saturday, at V2 o'clock, in the court house. Z. . Walser, the Republican chairman, took ex ception to the following sentence in myletter: "You and your can didates have been circulating a report throughout the county that the Democratic candidates were " afraid to meet your candidates in joint discussion. This, of course, you know they do not believe! ' V Walser informed me that if this was published kbotli of us could not live in the same town," which I understood to mean that if 1 pub lished the letter he would kill me. Iam not a 'bully" and do not have fights or. make threats. I do not carry a gun or go armed in any way 1 am onnosed to killinir people (and especially in this case), and am op- ' posed to all kinds of lawlessness, Wrolco M" onmn ff nis lwiirlimAn ir m. - Walser or some of his henchmen may whip me, kill me, or blow up my office, but they cannot scare or prevent me from doing my duty as a free citizen, as editor of the Dispatch or chairman of the Dem ocr&tic executive committee. greatest good for all the people am running a newspaper for the and expect to stay in Lexington. I would be ashamed to run a dirty campaign sheet and slander my neighbors among whom I expect to live after the election. I want peace with everybody." Mr. G. F. Hankins, candidate for the Legislature,made a ringing speech, and said some very warm tilings about his opponent, Air. George E. Hunt. He read an affi davit of S. Goodman, which at tacked Hunt's habits. He also stacked Hunt's record while he was clerk of the buperior-Court of Davidson county, mr. walser talks. Your correspondent saw Mr. Walser in reference to the ioint discussion and as to Mr. Varner's charges. Mr. Walser said that when he received the challenge, he went to see, Mr. Varner, and that Mr. Varner charged him with writing slanderous editorials in The North State, and he told Mr. Varner that he was not editing The North State. That if Mr. Varner published mat ne l aiser) nad been circu - i i Airi i -l lating a report as stated, then they could not live in the same town, Ur Ww W .fntWtU. U ,.tL7 ,J fV, nUll.n u4.

What Will he Done With it and When it is Ours. The Globe is read by many Confederate Soldiers and for this reason, it thinks no subject will prove more interesting than that of the Confederate monument which is now in Salisbury. At the recent visit of Mr. Ruckstuhl, its designer, it was determined what to do with it. Here is the Salis- burv correspondent's account of it which appeared in Sunday's Char- lotte Observer: "Gni;eu, haA uA ?ofj guished honor of having for her IkMl rf V A my flMU a.MXA .

His model for Phoe nica he tound m the iouvre, in Paris. He has made a statue of in Victory'' for Little Rock, Ark At the base of the monument is the life-sized statue of a Confederate Soldier. When one meets Mr. Ruckstuhl on the streets of Salis bury, one is startled with the per fect similarity he bears to Captain Charles Price,our own distinguish- ed jurist. He has the same dome- like . head, brown eyes, and con- tour of feature and face, with lit tle difference in stature. Mr. Ruckstuhl s color is darker. He is charmincrly responsive and de- Hghtf ul, and gracious in his per sonality. The monument will be placed in the custody of Mayor A. H. Boy den until the $10,000 has been re alized. He will be its guardian and protector against vandalism as far as in his power. It will be a glorious, triumphant day for the 1 . . -i . .
