A Republican Bolts.
Salisbury Poet.
'' Less than two weeks from today
"by the vote of the people in the
8th district the selection will be
made of the man who shall repre
sent the district in Congress: I ap
peal as a Republican to Republi
cans to consider well before you
cast a vote for a congressman you
may have cause to regret it when
aa loft loir in tJol f whv vrm
should vote for the return of E.
-Spencer Blackburn to Congress.
Hold an honest and fair consulta
tion with yourself, investigate his
present, past and future and de
termine with yourself by his re
cord if he has served his consti
tuents in such a manner as to
merit their future support. Search
the records of Congress and you
will fail to lind where he has in
troduced, not passed, a single
measure that would stand for the
slightest good for the people he is
supposed to represent.
Then again search the roll call
of the congress and find how many
times he has answered the same
and occupied his seat, that he
might serve his people should op
portunity offer. He has no interest
in the people beyond drawing his
salary and maintaining his broker
age in Office. No man should re
ceive the respect and confidence of
the neonle who does not meet his
x i- -
obligations with promptness. The
postmaster at Salisbury cobld tell
the people whether an obligation
made him and others has leen ad
justed. The Spencer postmaster
might tell the public what it cost
him to sign his name P.
M. Then again Mr. A. E. Holton
could say that he was sued on a
note of $500 which he had signed
for him in the Bank of (Jreeiiboro
and upon which the defendant and
Mr. Holton had the same to. pay
and then he complains of great
.prosecution by Mr. Holton as dis
trict attorney and tries to pose as
a martyr and make the public be
lieve an innocent mau has been
persecuted and with the same ev
idence in Mr. Holton's hands he
can show you different results.
' Tt has never been the custom of
the good, honest Dutch of Rowan,
Stanly and Cabarrus to stand by
any man who wonld not meet his
obligations, will not do so now.
Mr. Blackburn is not a resident of
the 8th district and has no claim
upon the suffrage of our people.
His election is only urged by a few
officeholders that care nothing for
the people but want to pay a
debt of gratitude to their boss for
the places they hold. The Tank and
file of the Republicans are not for
Blackburn. Not a single Republi
can of standing and position in the
district are for him. He is actually
making his way through the can
vass being backed by a few of his
pie eaters. He has persistently 're
fused to meet his opponent, Mr
Hackett, in joint debate and an
swer the affidavits and charges
that have been made upon him by
Mr. Hackett. No man deserves the
Hiiffmf nf the neoole vho fears
-"O .
to meet his opponent and dis
prove the infamy that his fellow
Republicans and Democrats have
- , - -
i heaped upon him. Where no de
nial is made, the charges must
... f u
contain the truth. There is no dc
nyine the fact that Mr. Blackburn
in the 8th district has played hav
oc with the chance of building up
a Republican party and obtaining
v success for county tickets. , With
him out of the way we had the op
' portunlty to divide the county
ticket lu Rowan and hold w"hat we
had in Stanley and hope for suc
cess in Cabbarus. His only hope
in success is in trading off all other
candidates to save Blackburn.
Now, my friends and fellow Re
publicans, if you ever expect success-you
will have to let Mr.. Black
burn pass out and return to his
own district and then organize
the party under strong leader
ship, one that can unite all fac
tions of the party. When we have
done this we can expect a good re
sult. It is for you to pass upon
the matter on the 6th day of Nov
ember. May you cousider well
the result of your ballot and then
cast it for the good of the Repub
lican party. And for myself I in
tend to cast my vote for Hon. R.
N. Hackett as a rebuke to the
office grafting man who attempts
to represent the 8th district.
J. P. Crowell.
Let us again ask the people not
to be mislead by the Republican
statements, that the people who
live in the country and own homes
are Republicans. As great a por
tion of the people who live in town
own their homes as these who live
iu the country. This thing of try
ing to stir up one class of the peo
ple against another is not statesman
like, neither is it for the best inter
est of the people. The campaign
is now rapidly drawiug to a close
the Democratic Candidates are all
pleased with the manner in which
they have been met and greeted
by the people. The people are at
work, determined and from every
sectiou oi the county we have en
couraging reports. If there is any
thing in the signs of the times and
and the way men talk, the Demo
crats of the count v are sure to win
in this contest. No Democrat,
however, must fail to do his duty.
Nothing can be done without
patience and long tedious hours of
toil and labor. With this idea
thoroughly appreciated bytheDem
ocrats the victory on next Tuesday
is assured.
CerWa Cure for Croup Used
for Ten Years without a failure.
Mr. W. C. Bott, a Star City, Ind.,
hardware merchant, is enthusiastic
in his praise of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. His children have all been
subject to croup and he has used this
remedy for the past ten years, ana
though they much feared the croup,

g
when a bottle
of (Jhamue
r
Iain's Cough Remedy was in
the
house. His oldest child was subject
to severe attacks of croup, but this
remedy never failed to effect a speedy
cure. He has recommended it to
friends and neighbors and all who
have used it say that it is unequalled
for croup And whooping cough. For

Advertising rates. Editor
The able, scholarly and brilliant
editor of the Topic, rises to say;
"The thing that is most gratify
ing to the Democrats in this cam
paign is the impression made by
J. V. McCall, the Democratic can
didate for Representative in the
next general assembly of N. C,
from this county. His canvass
has leen clean, forceful, eloquent
and convincing. His opponent
has at no time or place been abl
to satisfactorily refute his presen
tation of the subject discussed."
Now, go for the camphor bottle
for some one may faint. Who ex
pects to satisfy some people with
an argument when they wouldn't
now one if they met it in the road.
teally does the editor of the Topic
know the "subjects that are l)eing
discussed" this campaign. We
see so little refered to in his paper
we infered the editor had not been
advised of the issues yet and that
he might come in on the "home
stretch." Rub up a little, Mr.
Editor, and tell us something, even
ifitaintthe truth. Just any old
thing is better than nothing.

We have before stated that so
far as we were informed the Demo
cratic registers were disposed to lie
fair. But we don't just under
stand how the Democrats trot the
registration Iwoks in Lenoir town
ship and had the books in a pri
vate office for several hours one
night last week. We. say we don't
know what was the purpose of that
gathering but it looks suspicious
The registration looks are in the
custody of a sworn officer and he
should le careful that they are
well guarded and that no one has
an opportunity to to erase or add
a name from or to the books. Let
nothing be done that savors of un
fairness. (Jive us a square deal
bovs and it we don t lick you we
will pay for the whistle.
The County Canvass closed in
Lenoir Saturday. Last week saw
them atUamewell, North Catawba,
Hudson and Lenoir. The first
thiee precinct will give the Repub
licans at least 50 majority. This
brings the Republicans to Lenoir
with 400 majority according to our
estimate and we believe it a low
count. 1 wo years ago the pre
cincts in Lenoir gave 1M Demo
cratic mrjority. We don't lwlieve
thev will pass 100 this time. If
our estimate is correct the Repub
lican county ticket will win by
300 majority. How any well in
formed man can hone to beat us
this time is passed our understand
ing.

In just one week until the ele
tlon and the Democrats are pre
dieting a divided victory or that
some on both tickets will be elect
ed. They hope by swaping and
scratching to elect one or two of
their candidates. We want to
warn the Republicans again to
vote the ticket strait. Every man
on our ticket will be elected if we
do our duty by a good majority.
here are no more true or loyal
Republican than our Caldwell
oters and we don't believe" they
can be bought, intimidated or per
suaded to in any way go back on
the party in its hour of easy vic
tory if we all stand to gether. Lis
ten to no reports or rumors that
you may hear alwut our candidates
or party an the eve of the election.
Any reports are charges at this
ate day is striking lelov the belt,
nfair and unjust. We ask the
Republicans to present a solid
front on Nov. (5th, vote the ticket
strait, see that your neighbor does
the same and victory is ours.

Hon. Thomas Settle spoke in

he man who heard it and was not
struck with its force and truth is
ndeed weded to his idol.
The people in Lenoir had an op
portunity to hear the County Can
pidates Saturday. The court
house was full and the crowd seem
to be with the Repuplicans. The
Democrats "were sufficiently
amused." We think they found
out who was "wound up" and
they felt the "impression" made
by their candidate. If it wasn't
a field day for the Republicans we
are a poor judge. If there was a
greasy spot left of the Democrats
we couldn't find it. When it was
all over the Democrats looked like
saying, farewell, we are gone and

The hazer is usually a cow ard
and the sight of a gun or a knife
makes him skip out. The fool
with the blacking brush is a hard
proposition in all colleges. He
needs killing, but no one wants to
stain their hands in blood. The
hazer as a rule cuts the biggest
swath during his sophomore year
in school, and about the only time
in life he plays the part of master
is the time he takes advantage of
a given iresnman away irom
home for the first time and lords
it over him. The blustering hazer
works for another man after he
leaves school.
