but he Defend. Mr. GRADY
Ma. EDIToR-I will give Won a fes
of the happenings IN Cumberland.
! Some of the democrats" in Fay
etteviiie are frothing AT the mouth
about NV letter TO The CAUCASIAN.
| \ crowd was standing IN the sheriff :
office with The Caucasian in hand
| trying To digest dunk DownIngs
article, but would not read il aloud.
| but would hand one To another, and
| one of the crowd. who was Il lawyer,
said that 1t was pity that the law
was not changed so man could bt'
prosecuted for writing aud publish
| ing such l.tters." The presumptioa
is that the lawyer wants the las
amended 50 that a man can he pros
ecuted for writing the truth. Thezr
organs think now that il Is unlawful
to write the truth: however, they
are taking it for granted that
"custom makes law
The lawyer also said that he did
not think that Gen. Weaver got over
two votes in Cross Creek townsh ~
(Fayett' ville). and one of the crowd
said. Yes. he did"
This crime of vote stealing must
be stopped if for nothing else IN. au
the country's honor. 1t will rreve Mt
people OF capital from investin z.
Cumberland county is unsurpass ed
with its natural resources, its water
way. which are undeveloped. but 'Se
cannot expect capitalists to invest
where they would be denied a fair
election and an honest count unless
they vote the Democratic ticket. The
Fayetteville Observer has for the last
few days got in a great notion to dis
cuss finances, and has raised the cry
Unconstitutional" and says, Give
US State banks as our fathers had
We want the Observer to tell us what
will the State banker redeem his bills
of promise to pay with, when the
Democrats repeal the Sherman law
He cannot do it with gold because
the Southern States only have sew
enty-one cents per capita. This is a
new idea of Mr.. Hale's, for he told
us in Raleigh, at the Democratic
State Convention, that money should
be issued by the national govern
ment and ought not to be intrusted
to banking corporations. The truth
of the whole matter Mr.. Hale IS
kneeling at the political after begging
for a doSe OF DR.. Cleveland'S Ready
Relief.
The corresponding editor Of the
North Carolina Baptist, ar. F."
says the cause of very near all of
the trouble is the lack of confidence.
The true meaning of his editorial is,
Look unto Cleveland and be ye
saved; first seek We his wisdom, en-
courage him with your confidence
and all these things shall be added
unto you.
The Sampson Democrat is anxious
for the vignette of Cleveland to be
placed on the silver dollar for the
woman has enjoyed that honor long
enough. | think that the editor of
The Democrat had better make ar
engagements with The CAUCASIAN to
put it on the fourth page of that
paper for more people in these parts
would see it than If it was on all the
silver dollars.
[ think that DIR. Cy. Thompson
ought to let Mr.. Grady rest and not
say anything more to him about vot-
ing himself $1,000 more salary. He
told US at Cedar Greek, in his speech,
that they kept such a fuss in the
House that he could not understand
what they We're voting on and would
vote in the negative. | think Mr..
Grady is eXcusable because he heard
them say something about money and
he thought they were voting on the
free coinage bill and they were going
to Increase the circulating medium
to $1,000 per capita. Now if We be-
lleve what he said at Cedar Greek we
should sympathize with him more for
deafness than for covetness.
Mr.. Editor, do certain newspaper
agents stop at hotels free of charges
The travelling agent for that immi-
grafton paper published at Raleigh.
the New South. or some kind Of a
South, slipped off from Autryville
and never paid his hotel bill. We
think that he has lost "confidence''
IN DR.. Cleveland's Ready Relief and
is trying another medicine.
