ENTERED AT THE TOST OFFICE AT
POLAND XEt'K. N. C, AS SKCOND-CLASS
MAIL MATTER. '
J3. E. STIINBflCX, F.DITOR,
The whit and colored Republican
aspirants tor ntate L.cmsiaiive uuu
ors
are having a lively time of it.
One of the best men the Republi
can party have nominated, for office
is .Tno. A. Moore, of Halifax. He is
far too good a man to be in such bad
company, and the fact that he is on
the wrong side of the fence will in
itself defeat him. And then, jU9t
look at his opponent, Capt. Fred
Phillips, bur gallant standard bearer.
His name is a tower of strength in
this section, ami the good people
everywhere will rally to his support
The Democrats of the second dis
trict made a wisa and judicious se
lection. Capt. Phillips is a man be
loved by the masses, and his many
friends will have the pleasure and the
satisfaction of seeing him lead them
on to victory in November next.
Hubbs' friends have published
card to the effect that he (Hubbs) is
the regular Republican candiate for
Congress in this district, and
O'llara's friends and followers have
done the same thing. Hubbs is
backed bv the revenue officers, but
O'Hara is backed by the colored
voters, and, if we mistake not, they
are largely in the majority. Thus
the color line has been drawn, and
drawn finely. The white Republi
cans are beginning to wear long
faces. They find that the negro can
longer be put off with the "white
man this time, negro next time."
The darkies think they have been
used as cat's paws long enough and
they rise up and say we want these
offices ourselves. The golden ap
ples that the while Republicans have
plucked so long have now all turned
to Dead Sea fruit in their hands.
INTERNAL REVENUE.
If there is any system practiced
among men that is hateful, it is the
Internal Revenue, or we might term
it the Iitfern'il Revenue system. It
is based upon the trade of spies,
eavesdroppers aud informers, and
the Democratic party demands its
entire abolition. The features of
tha system, involving as it does, the
employment of epies and detectives,
and the payment of rewards to in
formers, thereby creating a market
value for "testimony," are odious
and hateful in the extreme. These
Internal Revenue taxes, it should
- be remembered, are not poll or per
sonal taxes, but property taxes.
Why, then, should North Carolina,
with a total assessed property valu
ation of less than $170,000,000, pay
to the Revenue officers ?u?ie tenths
more than Kansas, with a valuation
of property exceeding that of this
State. Is Connecticut any better
than North Carolina, that with nearly
twice as much property as we have,
pay barely one eleventh part of
what we pay. Look at Radical
Maine, Iowa, New Hampshire and
Rhode Island, they all pay less than
we do, yet they have property
double aud triple what we have.
If the Internal Revenue tax is a
tax ou production, why should the
Federal government tax North Cam.
lina productions more than the pro.
ductions of other Si ates ?
The system is administered in an
outrageous and oppressive manner.
Kaids are organized whenever the
officials choose to order them, and
armed men go about the county ask
ing nobody's permission and without
consent, poking into peoples busi
ana mere is no law to stop
uiem, tor they are above the Irw
Upon the slightest irresularitv. and
in all cases the dealers are innocent,
our business men are dragged from
their business and from their families
aud taken to Raleigh or Newberne
They may have sick wives or child
' "ut it is an the same with the
officials, they-uiust go. -
Tucso things have been done and
th-y -.nay be done azaiu. to-day or
to morrow.
Think o"t!ie h us ,n g (r men ,n
the Re,-o:jn i service, and the v r
thoy are doing for the Radical par ;,
They are ohiMied and i'eU out of the
Uses paid in as full measure from
Democrats as Radicals
. Is it right to take Democratic tax
money to put Republican canvassers
in the field ? Is it right to take our
money to buy up votes and to inter
fere with the freedom of elections ?
This system has cursed this State
for twenty years and it should be
Abolished. It is a fearful nest from
which patronage hatches the instrn.
flients for controling elections
There can never be local self.gov era- j
went until these Federal officers
with their Federal Courts are sent
adrift. Our State courts are stripped
f their sovereignty, utterly set a'
efi:uv'e and subordinate to tin-
meanest revenue officer in the service
f tins be not centralization in its
worst form, we would like to know
what it is P
The Democratic party says down
with such a system, down with the
advocates of the ruinous Internal
Revenue system.
PLANTER'S ANNUAL CONVENTION AT
The approaching Convention of the
National Cotton Planters' Associa
tion, at Little Rock, Ark., on October
16th, 1882, promises to be one of
the largest and most important ever
held by the Association,
It is a matter of regret that a com
bination of circumstances have pre
vented and will continue to prevent
that thorough organization of coun
try and parish branches contempla
ted by the Association untill after
the meeting in October.
The various counties of tae cotton
States, however, wil 1 hold meetings
and select delegates to represent
them in the Convention this October
after which a most thorough system
of organization will be instituted by
States, aud a strong effort made to
reap the advantages that must ac
crue to the planters and landhold
ers of the South thereby.
have grown with time, and though
circumstances, as w remarked
above, have combined heretofore to
prevent our realizing all the benefits
that ere this should have attended
its work, the members are none the
less determined to carry out the or
iginal plans which will give to the
agriculturist of the South the great
est organization for general good that
has ever been inaugurated
President Morehead has just paid
a visit to Little Rock, Ark., to confer
with the officers of the State Fair
