FiNLEY - - EDITOR On Yar Six onlha -Thra months 9I.OO . .SO " .as Entered at seconit-clast mall matter Jane 18th 1907, at the Pottafiee at Marshall. N, C, under the Act at Confreee at March 3, 1879. FRIDAY, Sept. 18th, 1914 Who is to Blame? A thought has been passing through our minds lately of the reach of responsibility for what happens and whether the blame of certain things really rests on the pet son doing things, that is all the blame. We had in mind the taking of a life and when the person was tried the punishment fell upon a man who did the act but it had a number of causes and when we trace back the series of acts that have led up to the thing we find that it goes back three or four years and that while it was not the one act that led to the crime still it prepared the way and through the years the cir cumstances have been forcing the result that inevitably was going to end it all and one that the per son that did the thing first that paved the way for the last would disclaim having any thing to do with and would not shoulder any of the blame for the last act but which we think: will be laid in part at his door when the final account is made up. The man may pay with years of labor or with his life for the deed committed but the real transgres sor will go scott free. We could take the trial of the last week and go back to the life of the one for whom a killing was made. Who is the one that sends a girl on the downward road to rum and holds off and thinks that nothing was done. He may have ruined her and she may lead a life not the best and it came down through the years and men may have held her up to scorn and have so incited those who had her in charge and the thought of avenging a later insult or wrong may have led to the death of a person but did the man or boy who first sent her on that road have no . . culpability? We are sure that when the judge that takes all into account and who knows the right and wrong of things comes to take charge, it will not be alone the man that in a time of passion clears his thot of hoqor but it will be the man Or boy that first did her a wrong that will suffer and they will not alone pay for the life ruined hut they will also pay for the life lost, for they also are guilty of murd er just as much and a divine law will bring them to account for something that a human law can not touch them.; .They started the line of causes that at last wrecked two lives and brought children into a fatherless condi tion and really robbed the world of two lives one dead and the oth er shut up behind prison walls. He it is that to us is the greatest criminal for be has done some thing that was dire in its effects but he .stands off and laughs at a Jaw that cannot reach him. We are thankful that things right themselves in the long run for to us this man ba he whom he may is the great criminal. . For Sheriff ' I hereby announce myself a candidate for the nomination for tl.eo-ce of Sheriff, of Madison County subject to the action of the County Democratic Conven- U3, ' ' J. DUG CAKTEU; To The Republican Voters of Madi son County i Mr. Ramsey used a column and a half in last weeks issue in an effort to answer my letter to you. He dodged and quibbled on every Doint I scored on him, and used every cunning device to evade me. Now, in this weeks issue I shall answer him that you might better see his INCONSISTENCY. Mr. Ramsey says -that I am wanting to "EXPLAIN." Goodl an honest man never hesitates to explain because you cannot make an honest man blush. I am the nominee of the majority of the voters of Madison County for Sheriff and as their standard bearer I would be ungreatful to their trust were I not to answer Mr. Ramsey's false representa tion of facts which are reproach ful to the voters and made by de sign and with his knowlecge of their falsehood. Mr. Ramsey said he did not question the fairness or the hon esty of the election in Ward One of No, 2, but that he did question the returns. Mr. Ramsey in a previous issue, l nave puonsnea the affidavits of all the Judges and the Clerk, and a few by-stand- ers of that election and they all swear that the election wa9 fair; that the result was 49 for me and 19 for you and this is the exact result Mr. Luther Tweed turned into the Convention. Then please explain how you question the re turns when you don't question the fairness of the election. The Judges swear the election was fair, that the count out was 49 for me and 19 for .vou and this is the returns from that ward and then for you to say that the elec tion was fair and the returns false, is the most unreasonabl c inconsistency I ever heard of. You had just as well come out and be open and frank for you arftf saving it in other words that the? Judges and the Clerk and a few of the by-standers made affidavits to a falsehood. " In regard to Mr. Tweed stay ing at my house, or . room, or home, or staying all night with me is another example of your nconsistency and desire to mis represent the facts. And here follows Luther Tweeds and Craig Ramsey's affidavits that Luther Tweed did not stay over night with me. AFFIDAVIT. Personally appeared before me, Mr. Tweed, who being duly sworn deposes and says: xnas when be brought the election re turns to the County Convention he did not stay over night or part of the night, at the house, home, or room of Sheriff Buck ner as has been alleged by Mr. Caney Ramsey, that he f uther- more swears that instead of stay ing at the home of Sheriff Buck ner, he was. summoned by Con stable Craig Ramsey to go over to Walnut to appreheud some parties and arrest them and was very late in the nigbjt returning to town and when he did return instead of staying with Sheriff Buckner : he slept with Craig Ramsey : at Mrs. Blazer's board ing house and did not see Sheriff Buckner until the next day and all this time he swears he had the result of the election in his poc ket and that Sheriff Burner did not see it, nor touch it,nor alter it. . L. F. TWEED, Subscribed and sworn to before me, this the 15th day of Septem ber 1914. W. M. GUNTER, Justice of the Peace. AFFIDAVIT. Craig Ramsey being duly sworn deposes and says: I, Craig Ram sey, am the Constable in No. 2 Township, Madison County. .1 swear upon my oath that I was in Marshall.on the night before he County, Convention was held and that I -summoned Luther Tweed, the man who Caney Ram sey has been accusingof 'cbantf ing the ejection returns of , Ward ONE of No. 2 Township. I past tivcly swear that Luther Tweed left Marshall with me, summon ed to go to Walnut to arrest a criminal, sometime in the night we returned and J.'was with Mr Tweed all the time and 'we did not even see Sheriff Buckner, that Luther Tweed and ' myself stayed the remainder of the night after we got back from-Walnut at Mr. Blazer's boarding house in Marshall. I slept with Mr Tweed myself, ; and I say upou my oath that I think it is a shame for Caney Ramsey to make such statements in order to try , to do ceive the Republicans of Madison County. CRAIG RAMSEY, Subscribed and sworn to before me, this the 16th day(of Septem ber 1914. N. B. McDEVITT, Clerk Superior Court. You see Mr. Ramsey from the above affidavits my election was fair and honest, that I ould not have been crooked even if I lad wanted to be. But Mr. .Ramsey please tell us now what you are Rolter, Bogus, Indepent, or Kick er. vt men i And one other thing, I have been reliably informed that your manager Mr. Bob Ramsey, has made tlfe statement that if you were not elected they were going to make it cost me three, or four thousand dollars.
