AUG. 4. 1908 With do desire to mix op in the present contrst among the Democrats of the coantj, The An sonian belieTes that tl uncalled for attacks that were nuke on Prof. I). A. McGregor, chairman of the Democratic Kxecutire Commit tee, last week should be denounced by ererr man who has the real success of the party at heart- The charges made against him amount to nothing and they are altogether foreign to issues, if there be any. of the campaign. No causes can be given for the unfavorable mention of his name in the speeches made by any candidate in the contests, unless perhaps it is because of soreness thst still exists by reason of some recent elections in the county and it does stm thst the overwhelming majorities that followed him to victory each time, vindicate not alone his views on local questions, but also his wisdom as a leader. A chairman of the Prohibition torero in both campaigns, he made a clean and honorable light and no man of oppotit faith found cause u atUck him. When a few weeks ago he was made chairman of the county Democratic Execu tive Committee, men who would probably have preferred som othr, at once declared their con Iklncr in hU integrity and fair mindedness. As a leader of the Democratic forces, no man can ac cuse htm of taking to use his posi tion to the advantage or disadvan tage of any candidate and it may t vaid to his credit that he has taken no active part for any favorite and never complained in the present campaign until the at tack was tint made on him. If th party's good wa considered as it should be, we feel that these attacks would not be made against a man of Chairman Mciregors acknowledged honest3-. Thi: large majorities given pro hibition last August and on the J"th of May this year would make it appear that the people of this county are anxious to stop the manufacture and sale of intoxicat ing liquors within its bounds. Re peated rumors of violations and some fact, show that there is work to be done. In this connec tion, "Die Ansonian publishes be low two sections of the revised code of North Carolina which will give the people some apparently new light regarding these viola tion: ! SIS).

The county canvass, which be sran at Lilesville last Wednesday morning, proved to be very lively during Thursday and Friday when the candidates spoke in Morven and Gulledge. -At lilesville the speeches were very tame and un interesting for the most part. The candidates for cotton- weigher at Wadesboro, were the first to announce themselves. There were eight of these: Cary Allen, W. F. Flake, I. Fulton Thomas, G. Sherrill Fort, T. J. Garris, J. A. McRae, J. B. Sta ton, Dan E. Gatewood. They simply announced themselves and thanked the people in advance for their hearty support. Next came Mr. C. W. Thomas, register of deeds, who told the folks he ap Dreciated his office and the fact that he had no opponent. Mr. E. F. Thomas announced the can didacy of Cornor E. F. Fenton for re-nomination and Mr. Adam Green. The present treasurer, Mr. J. O. A. Craig, asked for one more term in that office, but Messrs. Bert E. Bennett and Y. H. Allen each thought that Mr. Craig had held the office long enough and let the neoDle know that they would like to hold the office for awhile. Sheriff S. P. Martin thanked the people for the office he is holding and also appreciated the fact that he had no opposition. Two tick- lets for county commissioners were then announced, the hrst, B. u. Wall, C. H. Rivers, and George Led better. The next, H. B. Al len, Henry Wall and E. E. Mc Rae. Up to this time nono of the candidates felt the need of much and they cut it spent Sunday with her daughter, short Mrs. T. F. Misenheimer. But the candidates for represen- Mr. i C.

Our people are very much in' sympa thv for seven of the candidates for cotton weighers for ades boro as they feel sure this number will be defeated. A large number of ladies and children assembled at the old Rap ist church Sunday afternoon and all were very much pleased with the very interesting talks by Miss rene II aire and Mrs. T.

At this M. I 1 . stage in nis speecn a neavy rain came up and since the speaking was out in a grove, Mr. Lock hart failed to get through. The canvass at Lilesville was very peaceable and quiet, there be ing no hard feelings or harsh words said by men on either side, but next day at Morven, Mr. Lockhart complained that Prof. McGregor was not treating him fair in this campaign and was working for Dr. McLendon. He said, so it was reported, that Mc Gregor had met him on the streets of Wadesboro and told him that he was going to get the people of Anson county to vote for McLen don and against Lockhart. At this stage Prof. McGregor asked permission of the chairman to correct the statement made by Mr. Lockhart. He was told to wait until the other candidates had spoken. When the candidates were through, the chairman stated he had opened the meeting and that he now pronounced it closed, stating that they were going home. Then the crowd, instead of leaving, began calling for Mr. Mc Gregor. When Mr. McGregor attempted to speak, quite a nam- l)er began yelling at him for the purpose of drowning out what he might say. They applied the bit terest epithets, using language too indecent to appear in public print. There was talk of violence and Mr. Lockhart made as if he would get to Mr. McGregor. It was a most unusual occurrence to hare happened at a political gath ering in Anson county.
