STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA,
HALIFAX COUNTY,
SUPERIOR COITPT
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-01

is free from all the objections that
may be urged against the plan OF
issuing bonds. The debt incurred
under this plan would all be at home,
payable both principal and interest,
to our own people; it could be paid
gradually, little at a time as the
money could be accumulated in the
treasury and its payment would not
be felt by the people as it would if it
had to be raised in one lump when
the bonds fall due. A certain per
cent. of il might be received each
year for taxes and cancelled, and
when redeemed in that way the peo-
pie would scarcely realize that they
were paying public debt at the
same time they were paying their in
dividual taxes. Better than all this,
the debt, while it exists, would circu-
late as money and make better times
among our people.

DELIBERATE MBNDAOTTY,

The POpulists have dropped all other is-
sues but the free coinage of silver, and in
the advocacy Of that they are not sincere, as
they are opposed to a metallic basis for
money. They don't endorse the principal
acts of their own state administration. They
have come to see the fallsCy Of the PROPOSE
tions over which, at one time, they mani
Tested the greatest Acknowledgements
Republican, October 20.
Now, the Republican knows the
above statement to be absolutely and
totally false. It is not ignorance that
leads to its publication. The Peo-
ple's party stands now as 1t has ever
stood upon the Omshsplstform, with
out a line or a syllable eliminated,
and it will continue to stand there
until the fundamental principles of
that platform are triumphant at the
polls. Because the silver question
has been forced to the front, for the
time being, by the war made against
silver by republican and democratic
Shylocks and their hired Hessians,
and because, in consequence of this
fact, it has received more attention
temporarily than other questions, it
does not, therefore, follow that other
questions are abandoned. Where
have the Republican and the political
stump speakers of the party it repre-
sents seen any declaration from Pop
ullst sources that afford any shadow
of justification for these persistent
fslsehoods. The Republican knows
full we'll that they are fslsehoods de-
Iiberately published and persistently
insisted upon for the purpose of de-
ceiving the uninformed, and that
class includes all who limit their
reading to republican literature.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-01

Gov. Unwilling, and every other Popu-
list who can talk, leave public affairs 10
care for themselves, while they 60 out on
the stump making political speeches. When
Gov. Humphrey made republican talks, the
model ''reformerS" howled dismally about
neglect of public duty" and denounced
the republican officials in unmeasured
terms for drawing their salary as public off,
cials while they were making political cam
psigns.-AtohisOn Champion, October 25.
1t is now the opportunity of the
"model" republican reformers to howl
dismslly, and they are doing their
share of it. It's satisfaction, also, to
know that howllng is all they can do
about il. What troubles them chiefly
is that they are not drawing the ssls-
ries.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-01
THE PROPOSED NEW COURT HOUSE


print copy of the plans and specifcR-
tlons of the proposed new court
house. The people of the county are
to vote upon the proposition of issu-
ing bonds for the erection of this
court house at the election on the 7th
inst. We do not desire to take posi-
tive ground either for or against thus
proposition, but we do desire to make
il the occasion of some observations
bearing upon the subject The argu-
ment is not all upon one side of the
question, and it is perfectly proper
that it be fairly stated both pro and
con.
The commissioners urge, in the
first place, that the present. court
house is insufficient for the needs Of
the county, and that the rents now
being paid for court room and Offices
outside, that should be provided for
in the county building, would 60 a
long way toward the erection OF the
new court house. There is some res-
son in this claim, but it has not the
actual force that it's first statement
would indicate. There is no incon-
siderable part of this rent that could
not well be avoided. 1t IS probably
true that the rooms in the old court
house are not as commodlous as might
be desired, but they have answered
the purpose for many years, and
might answer the purpose for many
years more. Times are very hard
now, and the people of Shawnee
county are submitting to many incon-
veniences in their private affairs sim
ply because they do not feel able to
incur the expense necessary to pro-
vide against those inconvenience. Ii
the officers of Shawnee county were
willing to submit to little lnconven-
lsnce also, the Offices in the old court
house, which have answered the pur-
pose in former years, and IN far more
prosperous times might answer their
purpose now, and these rents be
saved to the people. In our judg-
ment there is no excuse for any OF
them, if we except, perhaps, one
room for the use of Judge Johnson's
court, and it would be no great loss
or inconvenience to the county il that
were dispensed with altogether, Ii
the present county officers think the
old rooms not good enough for them,
it would be q good plan for the peo-
pie of the county to elect a class OF
men who can accommodate them
selves to circumstances and submit to
such inconveniences as the exlgencies
of the times seem to demand. There
is an opportunity to begin this work
at this very election, and we can offer
no better suggestion to the voters OF
the county than that they avail them
selves of the opportunity.
The commissioners urge again that
the taxes in Shawnee county are
lower than in almost any other

ahead at once, and employing this
labor, purchasing necessary material,
and erecting the court house pre-
cisely as proposed, and issuing the
warrants Of the county to pay for 1t?
We can ind nothing in the laws Of
the state to prevent it, and we do not
believe there is anything. The laws
provide Section 1875 revised stat
utes) for the issue of such warrants
by the county clerk upon the author
ity of the commissioners, and they
dc not require that the money shall
be in the treasury when the warrants
are issued. On the other hand Sec
tion 1899 of the revised statutes pro-
Vides that when a warrant is pre-
sented to the treasurer for payment
and the money is not in the treasury,
''he shall make a certificate of that
fact upon the back of the warrant,
and date and sign the same; and it
shall also be the duty of said treas
urer to set down in q book, to be
kept by him for that purpose, the
number, amount and date of all such
warrants, to whom made payable and
the date when presented for pay
ment." 1t is here clearly implied
that it IS unnecessary that the money
shall be in the treasury when the
warrant is issued.
Now is there a man in Shawnee
county who would refuse to accept
one of these warrants based upon the
credit Of all the people of the county
for anything he has to dispose Of?
Is there merchant in the city or a
farmer in the county who would not
consider such warrant good for it's
face value! If the farmers and mer-
chants would receive it, would not the
lsboring men gladly do SO likewise?
Why cannot this work be commenced
at once and paid for in such war
rants, with the distinct understand
ing that they shall constitute a cir
culating medium here at home until
they can be gradually redeemed by
the treasurer in future years? Such
circulating medium 1UOuld stag at
home and would serve to relieve the
stringency Of the local money mar
ket. If there are any merchants in
the city who would not receive it,
there are enough of them who would
be glad to do 80, and let those who
seek to discredit it suffer the loss Of
trade that would necessarily follow.
The farmers would receive it for their
wheat, corn, beef and pork, and it
would be the means of reviving a
good measure of local prosperity in
the immediate future.
If it is thought best to have these
warrants draw interest, that interest
would be payable, as we'll as the
principal, here at home and to our
own people, and not to foreign blood
suckers, as has been the custom in
former public improvements. 1t is
probable that these suggestions Will

constitutes q reason for ITS increase.
These are times when economy Is de-
msnded; and when ordinary pru-
dence restrsins the people from in
cressing their private liabilities, even
for what in ordinary times might be
termed necessities, it would seem only
reasonable that q little of that same
prudence should be injected into
public affairs also. This is no time
to go in debt unless the advantages
to be gained by incurring a new OBJ
legation are largely on the side Of
the debtor.
Now, this is one side of this case
fairly stated as we believe. That
there is another side to it cannot be
disputed. There is no question that
a suitable building can be erected
at this time cheaper than under
ordinary circumstances. There is a
vast amount of idle labor in the coun-
ty seeking employment. The COM
missioners state that they have the
stone belonging to the county upon
the fair grounds, and that the quality
of this stone is far superior to that
used in any of the public buildings in
this city. They say il the bonds are
voted, they can give employment to
the men who are now idle in the city
and county, many of whom must
otherwise suffer for the necessities of
life or become subjects of charity.
These men can quarry the stone,
haul it to the ground, and home me-
chsnics can erect the building. There
is far more force in this suggestion
than in any other of the reasons as
signed for the present undertaking of
this work. There are many families
even in Topeka to whom the sp-
preaching winter looks very dark.
They are unable to see where the
fuel and the food necessary for their
comfort is to come from. To them
this work will appear like a provi-
Dental provision. If it can be hon
estlY distributed among the idle men
here at home, and thereby enable
them to provide against want by hon
est toll, we can see here reason for
voting the bonds that Is probably
sufficient to counterbslance all OBJ
iections. It affords a consideration
at least that should not be overlooked
by the voters of Shawnee county in
deciding how they will vote upon
this question. The above consider
stions are submitted for what they
are worth provided there is no better
way to build a court house than to
issue bonds for that purpose.
Now having presented the fore
going suggestions relative to the
voting OF bonds we desire to present
a few thoughts'upon another line.
It is admitted that we have every
thing here in the county that ls nec-
essary to build q new court house ex-
cept the money. We have the stone

discovered that cellar had been made
under the floor and the heavy logs
which formed the ceiling were well pre-

cellar was seen TO consist OF three

apartment stood a heavy, high, old
fashioned bedstead, upon which lay
two skeletons, dressed in what
