J WE VHALLEKGElhe Eagle the nfficifil organ of the Court- k $ Hovse Rtng and the claim-specu--j tutors of Ike. county; to point out a uniqle mulnnce in trhich ice J hum' made a misstatement of J ftcts, or have mis-quoted the -J m recurdt of the countv. That "Tradt" ani "ProfeBslonal" iiitor When The Record was started and was heing edited and managed by citizens and tax-payers of the county who had made Madison county their home for nearly ten jears and had done all that was in their po'ver during all those years to build no the countv. tha Court House Ring, through its mouth piece attempted to create a preju dice against this paper by shout ing "interloper" aud "renigude" ut the editor and business manager of The Record. It seems now that the Ring is taking a different view of matters recently. We take the following from the last fssue ot the mouthpiece of the Ring: "The Eagle "stranger" is not here as printer and editorial writer for fun or because he - has an. axe to grind, he is here because it is his trade nd profession, and by the "sweat of the brow he must earn a livelihood." ' As we are not an editor by trade" and "profession" we do not fully understand just what is exprcied of an editor of tha kind, but wa presume that it is an editor that has no convictions of his oru but does the bidding, of some one wlio is paying nun am price, an editor who can edit a paper just as well for one political party a another, iu other words he is the mouthpiece of some one else. So the R'og found out that they were unable to hold their own iu their controversy with I be Kecord so tbey sent off and got a "trade" and "professional" editor to try to divert the minds ot the tax-payers of the county from their own in terest sod try. to get party lines drawn by hollowing "cranks" and anarchists" at citizens of the county because they have a- victions oi their, own as to what (they think- ia right and do not Choose to be "trade" and "profes siouan "editors to speak the bid ding of some boss iu ordi r to earn a "livelihood.",. ' . - s ' I , Now, what has The Record ever said or done to tnaLe. it necessary for the Ring to .send oat and get a "trade" and "professional" editor, for no other purpose thau to slan der The Kecord ? A : ii . ; All it has done concerning the coun'y officers ia to call ou them to make their reports sa required "of law and to pay over the publie funds of the eoni.ty -to the officers to whom the law said that it nmt be ptid and any citisen of the county had a tight to do the same thing.- ' . ' , Will the moutbpieoti of the Ring please tell as- what objection it has for the officer of the county making their report - as required by Iw T " Will it also tell til what objec tions It Las for the county officer paying over the public funds of the county into the hasds of the o(!lc-rs to whom the law says that it mnst be paid f Can it be that l be mouthpiece of the Ring is get ting some benefit from the fact the money is not paid osr? If net by d xs it lick 10 f Ye 19 CO ii .U lut people of the - cbuutv would much prefer to knew how the Ring and the Ring candidate for repre sentitive stands on the liquor question and also on the high tax question than to hear so much about '"crank' and "anarchists being shouted in their ears for the purpose of trying to sur up per sonal prejudice agamst certain citi zens of the county. Jutt l:t us know how you stand on thexe matteis without having to be asUed so often. A Few Pointers for the ' Court House Bing nl Little Slant Ira. Some of the leaders of the Court House Ring, last week, throngl the columns of the Eagle, th mouthpiece of the Ring, tried to de'end the commissioners for not requiring the sheriff to pay in the public money as required by law, over the ntme of one of thir number, LITTLE GIANT IRA. Now, LITTLE GIANT, it s-ems to us that if we wero not nble to do our - own writing that we would stay out of print. It would be a late day before we would agree to let one of the moguls of the Court House Ring' pay an other one fee to write and article for us as though we had written it ourselves Lt us see just whore these "Smart Al'cks'have placed the GIANT COMMISSIONERS of the county. They admit or at least they do not deny, the fact tJsLiiailS sheriff has nearly four thousnnu dollars of the public funds of the county in his hands and be must have had more than three thous 1111 M.S. ana uouars ot tnai money in nis hands since before the first of May, and we have no doubt but the writer ofthe article knew jus how much is in his hands and how long it has been there. If he has had as much as $3,500 in his hands since the tirst of May, and the records of the connty show that he has had more, he would be liatile for 2 per cent per month on that amount, which wonld be 8 per cent and 8 per cent on 3500 would be $280 00 that the law says thut he is liable for unless the comini- sioners reiease turn from that amount. The question is will they release himT What is the use of holding this money ? Hasn't the treasurer got a bond as well as the sheriff ? Is it because the treasurer is not safe? And to try to prevent the people from asking these questions,. tbo Court House Riutf. over the signa ture of one of the commissioners took up a whole column trying to abuse the editor of. the Record because the sheriff failed to com ply with the low. And the great burden of the atory was that the editor ot The Record bad in the past been defeated for office. W wonder who it was that wns re pudiated for representative before the primaries a few- weeks ago T Was' it because he did nut have money and liquor enough to get through or was it because the peo ple bad enough of him ? TkjPjnsinuation in that articta that'-tho editor of The Record ever nol-prosei a case ia order to get other casts while he Was solicitor or even said that he did snch a thin jf'is a deliberate falsehood. Tha statement of the county's indebtedness, which was printed at the Kxcord office, shows - that there are 35.45 9 outstanding hoodS: 43.74.30 judges', claims and st 6,000 . in two consolidated claims, which aggregate $5o,ioo.ta. There are at least f 2,000 more claims of smaller denomination, per the statement, that came under the same head. The .whole amount, $61,196.22, was incurred under democratic rule when democrats were in office when commission ers were appointed by magistrates. This is sometning in excess ot tne t6o,ooo out of the f ;o,ooo In debtedness chargeable to democrats. We will ask the Kecord if this is not the fact f We will ask. him if he thinks we brought this "infor mation" with usf We will ask him If the Register of Deeds' pub lic statement ia a fake? We will ask him if every dollar of the above indebtedness was not in curred prior to 1896. Eagle. Question 1. "We will ask the Record if this is not a fact ?" Cer tair.iy not, f.r if you i'.l read on - says, "Indebtedness incurred prior to March isi, 1901, (as for as as certained) together with interest to June 1st. 1901," and not prior to 1896 as you state. Stick a pin there. Question 2. "We will ask him if he thinks we brought this "information" with us?" If you call it "information," yes, we cer tainly think you fetched it with you, far there's nothing hereto substantiate it. Question x. "We will ask luni if the Register of Deeds' public statement is a fake?" No, and we would refer you to it as "information." Question 4. No sir, tlie statement is prior to 1901 and not 1896 which would indicate that yonr present efficient (?) board has increased about eleven thous and in a little over a year. Prltcbard at Greensboro "We have at last reached a point in North Carolina when we can look at things from a business standpoint." This is the way that Senator Pritchard opened his speech at Greensboro and we think it very wholesome advise for Madison county, but the senator no doubt thought that he could pop the whip and line the boys up O K 111 Madison, or perhaps these remarks were not intended for the State of Madison where Pritchard himself is to do the thinking and.-5lre orders for the whole machifife. Voters are you going to look at things from a 'business standpoint" or are you going to bow to the Boss and fall into line when he gives you orders. We will see what we shall see.

The sheriff- has never made a report according to law and. the commissioners know it, if they can read t'-e law, which is very plain, but they will draw their two dol lars per day and mileage and let the violation go on.

Your Unc'.e Cy has the field now 111 that ball wick and can get amove on himself. According to the republican papers the biggest thieves in the world are in Halifax county. Now isn't it rather stranee that thev select a sorehead from that county as their candidate for chief justice. A fellow feeling, perhaps. Now if Mr. Zachary is such a good hand to build up republican majorities in Madison why does the Ring complain. The facts are that the majority in the county against Gudger for State Senate was 1048, while that against Zachary for the House was only about 42 See? Ira, he "writ" a letter for the Eagle and delivered himself of a great burden and it's well that he did as we fear his "biler" would have busted. Has any body found out what was that the Ring any whiskey iu the precinct it didn't use primary ?
