Radicals Position ON the Blair BILL
Chances Of Negro Judges end Coun-
ty Superintendent. Why Dockery
Isn't Lawyer. Too Good.
[From the Raleigh Ne,os- Observer.
Dockery has perhaps the worst
memory ofany man in North Caro-
lima Some people would say he was
a most almighty story-teller; other
people would perhaps use other terms
We content ourselves, however, with
saying he has very bad memory,
that is to say, for a man not yet en-
tirely in his dotage.
AS usual, we don't ask people to
take our word for what we say, but
only to read the following passes"
between Judge Fowle and the Colonel
at different places and see if what we
say is not true. Col. Dockery will not
deny the accuracy of the reports OF
these passes
Here's the way it ran at Asheboro
Col. Dockery-"The Republican
party has always been in favor of the
Blair BILL"
Judge Fowle-"How comes it, then,
that on the 25th of August, 1888, Mr..
Wise cf Virginia. replying to Mr..
Vest, said in the presence of the Re
publican leaders in Congress, that the
Republicans were in the majority in
both Houses in 1880, and might have
passed the Blair bill then, but they
did not, and they lied when they said
they wanted it, and the Republican
leaders were dumb"
Col. Dockery-There was no edu-
cational bill before Congress in
1S8O-S1."
Judge Fowle-"Who was the rep
resentative from Randolph county in
1881? Is he in this crowd? Voice
in the crowd, What do you want with
him, Judge
Judge Fowle-"If there was no
educational bill before Congress in
1380-S1, why was it, o representative
of Randolph, that you on the 31st day
Of January, 1881, helped adopt the
following resolution for which see
Senate and House Journals):
Resolved, That our Senators and
Representatives in Congress be re-
quested to support the bill now before
Congress known as the Educational
Bill"
"'Be it further resolved, That if
said bill does not provide for the ap-
sgak5Sis gkSsStiis9ge ST TBS teahasaa ehasaa o yRR6dqafE
ators and Representatives are hereby
requested to urge the adoption of an
amendment to that effect. "
Bad memory, wasn't it
This is the way it was at Siler City /:
Judge Fowle-"With the fall of
county government there will he 4
return, in all probability, to the Re-
publican mode of the election of
Judges by districts and not by the
State at large. In that event, the Sec
ond District will, most probably, elect
a negro judge, and how will the people
of the Piedmont section feel, particu-
larly those who are good, honest, con-
scientious Republicans, when his sable
honor is dispensing Justice from the
seat once occupied by CASTOR and a
Pearson ?"
Colonel Dockery-"When l was q
member of the Convention of 1875 ]
assisted in amending the Constitution
so as to prevent the very evil suggest
| ed, and I am surprised that my distin
guished opponent is not aware of the
fact that our superior court judges
must be elected by the State at large
| Judge Fowle-"My distinguished
opponent commits an error in assert
ing that there is any such provision in
the Constitution, for in section 81 o.
Article ", it is provided that th'
General Assembly may, from time K
time, provide, by Law, that the Judges
may be chosen instead of by the voter
of the whole State by the voters o
their respective districts"
Was that bad memory or was i
worse? 1t looks very much like ,
"story."
Again st Siler City:
Judge Fowle-"Another argumen
: in favor of the present system of coun
ty government is that, in case of it
repeal, negro county superintendent
| of public instruction will be electe'
in Halifax, Craven and other negr'
counties, and the young white gir
: teachers OF eastern North CaI olin
will have to be examined by them il
order to obtain certificates OF quail
fication."
Col. Dockery-"There is no DANCE
of the election of negro county super
, intendents. My opponent oalno
: point to q single negro county super
intendent elected under the old syf
tem."
Judge Fowle-"The reason non
was elected was because there was n
such office until 1879-after the pre-.
ent system of county government wen
/, into operation
And how is that for "baa memesy'
How is it fox a storyaf Doesn't
look like d sistory" and "bad memory
very much mixed-what some peop
call a "-- no such of a thing" ?
| This ssccet little thing occurred
Il Reidsvilie:
= Col. Dockery=aI did study law !
d Judge BATTLES one term, but when
