LITTER FROM MRCKLENBURG
COUNTY.
Orchard Razor" Unbosoms Himself and
Gives Some Good Advice.

the State for some time or maybe ION
ger, g will give you a scattering let.
ter in our own style about things gen.
orally. We may make some sugges
tions and give some free advice before
we close. As to our style, we have a
patent on our grammar, composition,
spelling and writing.
For six weeks before the election we
Pops up here have been laundering
around like a blind pup in a meat house,
not knowing where we or the other
fellow was at; not knowing whether
we were Is to 1 or 1 to Is. Now that
the election is over and the results
have been made public, We fnd that
we are about on a parity, without in
ternational agreement with anyone,
but some Democratic disagreement.
We slid in on them in this county
and reduced their two year ago major
ity of 1909 to nothing, and IA member
of the house is conered, and we
wish to give the Senate fair notice that
while we are always ready to do u
part in all legislative matters, we will
not furnish q Senator to read kilograms
from the bedside of dying negroes #
Bladen county every session and the
Senate must lock out another man.
The Senator we will send this session
may risk one eye on the gallery at odd
times, as he is 8 widower. Toe last
campaign vas very amusing 90 g man
who stood behind a tree and looked at
it. It was mixed with fusion and con
fusion, cussing and discussing, as no
other campaign has ever been in this
State since the days of old Capt. Noah.
How it went through and resulted as
it did and got so quiet in such short
time can never be explained. The an
tediluvian and the second edition or
latter day Democrats were both buried
so deep they will never scratch cut
unless it is at Hong Kong, China, so
far as this State is concerned. The
Pops made sGm9 mistakes and found
they had some traitors in the camp.
They can throw the traitors over as
they know them by the way they Cross
their suspenders and the cut OF their
eyes. Let the legislature that meets
the 6sh day Of January look out for
camp followers. The woods will be
full of pie hunters. Mary of them will
be deserving. all that are deserving
and can be rewarded should be, but
there will be place hunters that should
be sand bagged with ripe pole cats till
they would promise never to apply !
again.
There will be those wanted high
places, and there will be some in that
gang that the legislature should send
TO Washington and recommend that
Mr.. Mckinley have them sent to the
canibal islands as ministers plenipo
tentiaries, ENJOYS and blatherskites
most extraordinary; let them clean
the deck Of every man that is in Office,
and failed to help to elect them from
the long tailed rat to the big kangaroo.
Z9b Vance said the horse that pulled
the plow should have the fodder. That
is the stuff, so up and at en-. They ex
pect it, and don't disappoint them.
The wicked feeth when somebody gets
after them. TIE men that elected the
present members, expect them to put
in 60 days working for them. They
don't expect them to spend $500 of
their money on an inaugural ball as the
last Democratic legislature did. Gov
ernor elect Russell don't want it and
will not expect it. We are satisfied he
isn't built that way. Among the other
legislation they should not forget to
make some changes in the present cleo |
tion law and when they get the changes
made, they should put on the crank |
and give two turns down. 1t needs
about that much lightning. Do that |
and the voters Of the State who favor |
q free ballot and an honest count have |
possession Of the State for good. But !
again we say to the legislature, clean
out the offices. Remember that every |
one that was left in by the last legisla
ture used his Office and q part Of his
salary, which was the peoples money
to fight US in the lest campaign. Don't
give any more Of them another chance.
They vent so far az to vote inmates Of
the lunatic asylum against the reform
movement. II this statement is |
doubted, go ask the citizens of Nor
canton.
AWord now to the people who started
the reforms in this State: You are in
debt to the Farmers Alliance for q
free ballot in this State, and for all the
