The Democratic itartvwas born when the nation w oh born. It has lived through the annate of our history as a nation, and wili continue to Uveas long as the republic endures, necause it is the parly of the penp'e nd the Constitution. It had its birth in opposition to the movements which sprung up during the nrst days ot the Republic into channels of inon. urchy, of oligarchy, of clues subser viency and domination. Through all of its history it has stood for equality in privileges, equality in burdens, equality of opportunity It has stood against bounties, against largesses, against special privileges and discriminating favors. In more than -one crisis in our history ii has rallied the people to come together and, forget nug all other differences, to stand together in defense of- the machinations of those ho wau'd employ the Innc.

The Eag'p, the iouthpioce of the Court House Ring, edited by its "trade and professional" editor published in its last issue an other one ol iis low. unjorfrnaliitic, and scurrilous articles. he paper thus far hasclealli in very? little things, but in its unwarranted and per sonal attack on J, R. Swann it surpassed any of its former efforls. To a thinking and considerate people such rot will' most assuredly react. When and' at what time has the Record ever assailed the private life of any republican can didate and held him up to censure? Wo have tried faithfully to give the facts as to county alliurs'nnJ let the people draw Mieir own con clusions. Why dots not the E;iglo deal with the pbliiical situation of the county and stop its personal abuse? It is evident that it wishes to appeal to the prejudices of the people and thereby evade the issues. We copy from the last issue of the Eagle: ''Svviinn says lie was born in Georgia and raised on the farm, this Wnu'd entitle Win to be cal'ed the people's fnend, if the rsst of us had not been born on the farm. He served si years as telegraph operator, and then v.ent into the huckstering busines buying chickens, butter am! fg8 and other farmers, produce. Thus we find fie litis gotten down where the far mer lives. He is after their chick ens, butttr and eggs, and it would seem that he sot them. In a few years he makes money rapidly, buys him a house, better than tlie people in the country have. U puis up a big s'ock ol goods. How has this wealth been accumulated in so short a, time ? To use a vul gar simile, he has skinned the far uier like he would a flee, lor his hide and billow. Has the farmer got rich in the meantime ? A com parison is interesting, It ia evi dent, that he is rich, for they'say he has oHered to put $2000 cash in a new cotton mill to be built in .Via.dison cottaty. : Does this earn him "the title of the people's fiieiid? Their h an other way to prove this friendship, that is by espous ing Christ's cause and spreading glad tidings to all the world. We tail to find that he has done this." This is the bill of indictment drawn up by the "tiade and pro fessional" editor and subscribed and sworn to by the Court House Ring. That he was a farmer aud raised on a farn we admit, but that "we too" that is the Court House Ring was boin on a farm we fail to find any record. The be6t evi dence we can get from the obscur ity of its birth is that it 'was con ceived in sin, born in iniquity, and could no more flourish in the country than a nettle on a glticier. There are two things, in Madison county, that, are diametrically op posed to each other, the one is the Court House Ring and the other the' farmer I hat makes his living by the sweat of his brow. - We also submit to the mild in dictment that Swarm went into the chicken business, and also that he bought butter and eggs from the people. If we were at all ,dis posed to deny this, tbo lact that there was no market for the peo ple's stuff when he came to Mar shall would be against us. .When he offered money for the people's produce he was fought toihe bitter end. Th ring pr? lerred tc pay for them in sluddy. goods. He stood bv the people and was successful, Tbe same Court House Ring today is centering its fight, on hire, and conducting it iu low and abusive manner. We rre again willing to submit it to the people. - -. . That he skinned 'he farmer,' as he would a tl a for its hide and tal low, wedeuounce as a falsehood And further that it is an insinua tion on the good sense of the farm ers to say that they can not con duct their atlairs as well as Swatn. But it is no more than could be expected from the .Eagle. The ".radeand professional" editor is hired to talk. tV hat a oca ha care tor tbeapeople f - ' -"The Eagle states .' that a com-pa-ison between-Swann and the tanner ia interesting." The mem bers of tne Court House Ring would not conceed for a moment that Swann was iu be'tcr circum stances than -tbexselv. There fore if they were not after votes thry would say, behold the difler ence in our circumstances and the circumUnces of the people. We la re rih, you aie podr; we have our houses nicely furnished, you lite in log ones ; you have terved your county faithlul!y, ws have pecu.a- ted and got your tickets for twenty five cents on the dollar. II some people; by mischance, are not in the best of ciisumstances, we do not consider poverty a crime, and we deny the Laglo the right to hold any man's poverty up for comparison. That he has offered to help build n taetory, 111 Madison, we admit. If members of the Court Houe Ring would put their money in suet, enterprises, rather thau in speculation chii -.is a;id l'quor to buy nominations in countv con ventioii8 our county today would not bo hanging under a 70,000 debt and poll tax $3 35. Factories will he'p to pay our taxes, build up markets tor our produce, and carry comtorts into every mans home in the county. We leave it to the people whether such course is a crime or nut. The article reached e climax when it said "that Swann had never carried the goepel to the people." We might answer this hy nskiug when the 'Ting" was or chimed. But we do not intend to try to' work on tho prejudices of the people, as the bagle tried to do, in its dirty fling, by dragging re ligion down to the level of politic.0. It 13 the duty of voters to weigh the characters and habits of the men who are to hold cflice, but when was the Eagle empowered to sit in judgment on mens christian character. Neighbor, ''You had better look well to your own house." We deny the Engle tbe right to handle religion as it would Iiqunr, to catch votes and get nom inations. The game that the Court House fling, through its "trade and pro fessional" editor, is trying to play 11 thin attempting to appeal to the prejudices of the people in order to sidetrack the living issues of the campaign is a direct inmilt to the intelligence of every thinking tax payer of the county. And when this "trade and professional" edi tor, who is hired to do the dirty work of the Court House Ring, lives 111 Madison county long enough to find the people out he will learn that thev are not sj lull of prejudice as he thinks. Ths Propose! BUI by Mr- Hendricks. The following is an exact copy of the first five sections of the bill sent to Senator J. M. Gudger, Jr , on the 12th day of February 1901, by Jno. A. Hendricks, Chairman ol the Republican Executive Com mittee for Madison county, with a request to. have the same intro duced by hiin After the pre amble of the bill, it reads as fol lows : Now, iherefore. the General As sembly of North Carolina do i-nact: Section 1. That the Board of Commissioners of Madison county are authorized, empowered, and heroby directed to issue coupon bonds to an amount not to exceed Sixty Thousand (800,000) Dollars to be due and payable to bearer at the Ba'tej-y Park Bank of Ashe- ville, N.

Sec. 3 The said bonds shall be placed in th.3 hands of ihc treasurer of the counts, whose duty it shall be to advertise the same for sale to the highest bidder, and when sold, the money arising from such sales shall be appliel to the payment of the outstanding indebtedness of the county of Madison; Provided, that said bonds shall not be sold for less than pjr value. And provided further that no claim or other in debtedness shill be paid unless tho same shall be approved by the present board of county commis sioners: frovided furiher that all parties holding interest bearing claims shall present them for pay ment within 80 days after the is suance of said bonds, that I hose who fa to preesnt th ir claims within laid limit shall not receive any interest on the same; that all parlies holding claims against the county and who fail to pres-enl the same for payment within six months from issuance of said bonds, shall jhe barred from the collection of' the same; Provided that persons holding clai:n, judg ments or bonds against the su'd county m:iy take bonds issued as aforesaid in lieu ol their said claims, judgments or bends. (Sec. 4 of said act provides for the treasurer giving lend for the safe keeping of the money going into his hands under this act, and also giving him 1 per cent of the amount of all disbursement-"). Sec. 5 reads as follous: That it shall be tho duty of the treasurer to lend the sinking fund created by Section 2 of this act to a responsible person who shall give good security in three times tho amount loaned, at a rato ol 6 per cent per annum; Provided that the treasurer shall be responsible for all monies loaned and the interest on same due and paid, on his official bond. The remaining six sections of the act only relate" in dt tail to the manner of keeping the bo A, col lecting the taxes and disposing of the same, which we do not deem it necessary to print. The original act, as forwarded to Senator Gudger by Mr. Hendricks is now on file in the office of Gud ger & McEiroy in the town of Marshall lor the inspection of any one who wishes to examine it.
