D~Dt M fact.:
On Wednesday the ls' b day OF o.

ons aud "be-haf miles from my home,
t" meet z der J. l.. Burns. who had
written me be would be down that
night. | WAS accompanied BY my lit
tie daughter, seven ears Of age.
VAS At the postoffice when be reached
KobersonvilIe and be came In where |
was. We then started for the church;
crossed the railroad aud had proceeded
for forty or atty yards, when when
We reached the stores, and something
struck me- do not know positively
hat it was, but think il was Q piece
Of brick. 1 Immediately turned and
seeing some one in the shadow Of the
building l asked what do you mean,
have done anything to be assaulted
for? some one remarked, Il beg your
pardon. Mr.. Rawls, but Of Burns l
ask nothing"
We then went on to the church and
remained until the services were con-
cluded, when We came out and pro-
ceeded to hitch my horse to my bug
gy when the light in the street lamp
| n front OF the church was extinguish-
ed and Immediately a shower of egGs
came, striking Elder Burns and others
in the crowd. In the crowd were my
wife and other members OF my family,
besides my daughter just spoken Of.
None OF them were struck, but it
| was no fault of those who threw
| the eggs, as they we're thrown right in
the crowd, where there were Ia
dies and children as we'll as men and
boys. Eggs were thrown against the
| church, and against the buggies and
carts which were near the church.
| Such conduct is to be deprecated
and should be frowned down by the
gOt thinking people of the county.
| One newspaper stated that it had
heard from reliable authority that
said Eloer Burns did not get half as
many eggs as he deserved. This in
formation was total J untrue. never
said anything of the kind. as l disap.
prove OF such conduct at all times and
under all circumstances.

A SUDDEN CHANGE or TACT CS


Inform uion has come to The C.U-
cAsIAN that in many counties the To-
cal Democratic machine, acting under
the Instructions OF ballot b X suffer
simmons have changed Their tactics.
ihey have in these lusaIitits suddenly
stopped ring "nigger" Tiny be-
gan the cry of "nigg r" to force he
honest silver Democrats into submis-
81 n to their leadership aud 10 try to
'ampede the Populists. They have
most signally failed to stampede the
fopul'sts, except here and there, and
III numbers very few. They now see
that In these counties they are de-.
lea'td unless they charge THAR tao
ucs. In counties where they have
oeen oenouncing every Populist as a
"hlte Niger" they have suddenly
changed their tune and are now going
among the negroes and asking them
no" they can afford to vote for a Pop
ui'st who is nothing but a Democra,
~ uisguise. They back up this kind
.. argument to the negro by the use
OF money.
In short, the only hope the Demo.
ola''c machine has for carrying North
oaroilna is through the negro vote
ano from now until the day of tb.
e'ec'ion they will work desperately tt
get the negro vote by in,imidst,o,
and oy bribery. They are at it now il
more than thirty or forty counties il
the State.

WEEKsvILLE, N. c., Oct. 3lst, '98.
EDITOR CAUCAsIAN:-The election
being near at hand, want to make
= last appeal to my fellow farmers
and workmen in the Old North
State, through your paper, to stand
fast for the reforms begun by our
present administration, and be I'M
movable though the devil in Demo
cratic livery may oppose. These
Democratic howlers, the most of
them, are not friends to the farmers,
neither to the laborer. Judge them
by the insults they are heaping
upon good men and women of tho
State for no other CO use than that
they are Popul SITS or Republicans
and refuse to aid them in their ne
farious work in getting control of
the State. l tel y 'u.and | want you to
put it down, that if you suff r your
s. Ives to be- fooled by them, by such
au unr. asonahle thing as this negro
squall that tn. y are making and lot
Them get in again, you will rue the
day. You will then be convinced
that the negro has nothing to do
with your low priced cotton, corn,
ETC., and that the negro has nothing
in the world to do with the combina-
tions of railroads and money trusts
which Is robing you today, and
enriching themselves on your hard
earned labor. Why are you SO blind
that you can't see it, or tell me do
you refuse to open your eyes as
some do to see it, when you are kind
y asked to do it. What is the mat
ter with the farmers and toilers any.
wayi that they can't see so plain a
thing as that. Now will you not on
election day 60 to the polls and do
some voting for yourselves, and stop
supporting . party or men who care
nothing for you after they get your
votes and are in Office. These Dems
if they get in are going to repeal thu
best election law we have ever hai
in the State, and give you q terror
in its stead. They are going to ia
vor the continuance of this FREE
pass business, which has been sucl
a curse to you. They will refuse tt
cut rates and railroad fares as is de-
manded by the people. They vii
repeal the 6 per cent interest law
and refuse to lot the SO year lease Of
your railroad which they have leased
to the Southern railroad in what L
known as q midnight deal be furthe
Investigated, and many other pa,
things. Do you favor thatf If 20,
do, just vote q Democratic tick

these task-masters-when the turbi

from these oppressors.
These men and patriots, as the
are, stand now like Moses did, an
point you the way. Will you hee
them, or do you prefer to die j
Egypt like many of the children q
Israel did, rather than part with you
idols and still endure the lash Ii

cruel and heartless masters. Yo

makes every good impulse of ny ma
ture revolt to think that the Demo.
Gratis of North Carolina are deteterm-
ined to rule or ruin the State and that
they will stoop to such low, vile meth
DDS to accomplish their purpose.
Friends, keep cool, do not become

you are sure to win in the

are making for human rights will
have to be made in every southern state
sooner or later. Yours. is on in good
earnest, keep it up and make finish.
Thousands of North CarOlinians in
other States are watching and pray
ing for your success. Should you
lose this election and Dems get posses
sion of the. State government you
would be placed in our condition, a
most daplorable one. In Mississippi
the constitution which was never SUBJ
mitted to the people for ratification
and is not Democratic in any sense.
disfranchised about 5000 white votes,
mostly old Confederate soldiers, who
are now raising up their sons to hate
the Democratic party as you or any
other liberty loving people would do.
You do not have any conception Of
such an outrage as this until you get
into it, and while you are out stay out
at any cost. In Mississippi Is circuit
clerks, all Democrats, do all the regis.
tering of voters and are the sole
judges of the voters qualifications
and can reject those who are not
| Democrats on the most f1imsical ex-
cnses. 1t is sad indeed to see these
40 900 old soldiers forever deprived of
their liberty and forced as you or any
other people would he to raise up Jour
sons to hate and detest the Democratic
party. In Mississippi there are about
AZ 900 Democratic voters and 1900
Populists. These $4,000 Dem votes
control the State and county govern
ments for the whole population.
Our State government is being bank
rupted to the amount of $40O, 900 and
no means of paying it.
