Voting- The vote In the box In the vote
that counts, and the earlier you get

Every registered Democrat In Ashe

Democrat or Republican? White su

Work of the Weekly Press.
Now, when the struggle Is about over
And victory la In alght, The Cltisen
wants to bear testimony to the valiant'
work done for the cau'se of Democracy
nd white supremacy In North Caro
Una by the weekly newspapers. Every
week, and In some Instances twice a
Week, these sentinels on the watch
tower have come to The Cltlsen's desk
filled with argument for the amend
ment and tiring broadsides at the en
my. In season and out these men or
the weekly press have labored for
Democratic success and the victory
that la coming Thursday will be due In
large part to their effort. It is but
simple justice to give them this credit.
And It gives The Citizen pleasure to
bear testimony to their work.
The "country editor" usually Is a
poorly paid public educator, much of
bis work being a labor of love, but he
foes on cheerfully, spending and being
pent and getting some reward In the
knowledge that he Is doing much to
make hia cumuiuiuty and hla beluved
Old state better, lie Is always fore
most In the work uf upbuilding the
State, but never beiore has he worked
as heroically uh during the caiupulgii
just closing. The "cuuntry editors'' are
Dear the hem in of Hie people; they nre

Democratic Candidates in Buncombe
Thursday will be a history making
day In Nosth Carolina. Should the
White people win the light, which now
appears beyond all doubt, this state
should open upuu an era of political
cleanlineMS, commercial prosperity ami
educational adancemciit unknown in
Its history.
And Huncombe uiunt participate in
bringing about thlx Kreiu emancipation
or partuke of the blight thai will Bure
ly follow the exultation of the negroes
and their allies.
To the cltlieil who hlmvrely seeks
the best Interests ,,f llun.onilie und
North Carolina, there should come no
trouble In choosing between the candi
dates named by Uie two parlies in this
County, taken as a whole or looked ut
individually.
The Citizen will not that all, or
ven any, of the Kepubllcan candidates
In Wuncotube are dishonest men. Neith
er will It assert thut they are men uf no
capacity; but we do assert that from
the standpoint either of honesty or

names on the Democratic ticket are

In the Dcinociutle legislative ticket
Buncombe. Ill the person of l.oeke
Craig ami Jiwlum C. Cuius, presents
two of her worthiest sons, notwith
standing they represent nearly opposite
types of manhood. .Craig, the polished
orator and able lawyer, Is lmppu'y ,,.
plemented by Curtis, the thrifty far.
Pier, the Intelligent countryman-,
common man of the masses with on
uncommon supply of practical com
mon sense, Both these gentlemen have
had experience In legislative matters,
and will go to Raleigh In January bet
ter than ever before qualified to effi
ciently serve their constituents. These
men should and will be elected.
Marcus Erwln, the Democratic can
didate for clerk of the Superior court.
II the son of one of the most brilliant
tnen that Buncombe ever claimed as a
clttsen, and In character and true
worth merits every confidence. Mark
Erwln's majority should be very large.
R. F. Lee has made a capable sheriff,
never having failed to do his duty, so
far as the public has been Informed,
and deserves to be his own successor.
The fact that a special right Is being
made against Mr. Lee should cause ev
ery Democrat to rally more closely
about him,
John J, Mackey has proven himself
an officer worthy ut all CMM'-nce, ana
W,ServsKy Is such that the loper
he holds a public position the poorer
he becomes. His majority should ap
proximate the. Vote of the county.
E. W. Patton Is a quiet, unobtrusive
citizen, respecting himself and com
manding the-respect of all the people of
all parties, a capable business mail as
shown by the conduct of his own af
faiis, an honest citizen, and cannot re
ceive more votes than he deserves.
J. K, Chambers, the chief fiscal offi
cer of the county, Is willing to stand
before his countrymen on his record.
The office that Mr. Chambers holds.
and to which he asks a re-election, la
perhaps the most important in the
county. Upon the efficiency with w hich
its duties are performed largely de
pends our financial Integrity as a
county. No county Can meet Its obliga
tions without money. Money, without
greatly burdening many of our citizens.
can be got only through the discrimi
nating Industry of the taxgatheter. T.
J. Heed, the best tax collector .Bun
combe ever bad outside of the Demo
cratic party,' collected, through sched
ules B and C of the state machinery
act (these two schedules embrace all
those special taxes which tend to light
en the burdens of the farmers), during
198, $7388.76. During the year 1899 Kel
ly Chambers collected from the same
sources $9234.19, on practically the same
list, which means a gain to the county
of $1845.43 a sum fully equal to his
salary. Such an official as that should
be re-elected.
M. L. Heed, Marlon 8. Glenn and H.
I. V. Hobertson are all men of charac
ter, familiar with the county's needs
and resources, and possessed of ampl
Intelligence to conduct affairs success
fully. They should receive large ma
jorities. The remainder of the Democratic
ticket Is made up of good and true
men. and should not fall one whit be
hind their brethren who aspire to the
more lucrative and Important offices.
Yes, the Democratic ticket should
win a noted victory on Thursday for
the credit of old Buncombe und the
safety of the state. ,
SUPREME COURT AND
RECONSTRUCTION ACTS
EVE It Y ONE TESTED HAS BEEN
DECLARED Nl) C.OOD.
From the Ureensboio Telegram.
Col. Morehead asks the Telegram to
call attention to the fact thut all the
states, without eXieption, except one
New England state, in is7 and l.sos
voted by overwhelming majorities
against negro sun rage the states
which gave General tirant immense
majorities at the same time voted
against negro suffrage by still lurger
majorities.
He also uska us In mil ntion,,.
the fact that every act of congress
passed to humiliate and
Hotith which has been tested in the Su
preme court of the United States has
oeea oeciuren uncons. 11 utlonal, and
that one case, the McNadle case, which
was Instituted to test the reconstruc
tion acts, was appealed to the United
States Supreme court, an I congress,
fearing und believing that the act
would be declared unconstitutional, re
pealed the law permitting the appeal,
so that the Supreme court could not
pass on It.
If the Supreme court had held the
reconstruction act unconstitutional,
which It certainly would have done,
the 14th and 15th amendments would
be a nullltv ns thev
legislatures elected under the recon
struction act.

BARUEY MALT!
We desire to call your attention to
the appended result of a chemical
analysis recently made of CHASSTI
BARLEY MALT WHISKT, by the
recognised highest authority in tbs
United States upon analytical chemis
try, HERBERT E. SMITH, M. a,
dean of the medical faculty of Talt
University and state chemist of Con
necticut.
TALE UNIVERSITY.
DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE.
New Haven, Conn,
Messrs. E. H. Chase & Co., LoutsvUls,
Gentlemen: Inclosed you will flnl
the results of my analysis of the sam
ple of Chase's Barley Malt Wbitky
which you recently sent to me.
These results show It to be a whisky
of good alcoholic strength, free from
fusel-oil and containing no trace of the
metals, copper, lead and zinc.
In my opinion Chase's Barley Malt
Whisky is, on account of Its absolute
purity, an excellent article for medclnai
use. Yours truly,
HERBERT E. SMITH, M. D.
Conn. State Chemist.
Chemical Laboratory, July 21, 1890.
Result of a chfmlcal examination sf
a sample of Chase's Barley Malt Whis
key. 100 cubic centlmers contain:
Alcohol. 61.95 cub. cent, or 4-32 grams.
Residue on evaporation 0.61 "
Non-volatile matter or Ash... 0.01 M
F.ee acid, as acetic acid 0.04 "
Reducing bodies, as dextrose 0.22 "
Tannin a trace only
Attest: HERBERT E. SMITH, M. D.
These facts eommend the CHABftT
BARLEY MALT WHISKY, not only tff
the public, who seek a superior Whis
ky, but also to the members of the
medical profession In their practice.
The consumptive will find It most
beneficial, as it strengthens the Lungs,
checks the wasting of tissues, and re
lieves the severity of coughing. The
dyspeptic will find It an aid to diges
tion, as it relieves the stomach when
oppressed with gas. It builds up to
feel le and stimulates the system
against malarial attacks.
