THE TRUTH ABOUT 1T
II Is Claimed That Colonel DOckery
Lied All round in His M~ecklenburg
&raacIaS

CFrom The Wadesboro M~essenger.)
Colonel Office Hunter Dockery spoke
Monday afternoon at Paw Creek, Neck
lenberg county, and among other
things, is reported by The Charlotte
papers to have said:
IF any man will come to my
township, in Richmond county, 1 will
show him two negro democratic SUI
pervisors under whom my brother was
forced to work"
There are two classes of liars. First
We have the born liar, who lies on all
occasions and often when the truth
would serve his purpose better, and
then we have the ordinarily truthful
man who will lie only in a pinch, TO
get out of a scrape. The old midnight
negro organizer seems to belong to the
first class, as there was no earthly oc-
casion for his telling the lie contained
in the above quotation. We have
made diligent inquiry and we are in
formed by several gentlemen who, We
know are not liars, and who live in
Dockery's township in Richmond
county, tndI lnefe are no OenlOcrallc
negro supervisors in that township
and never have been. We have also
been informed that Dockery has no
brother living in the township, n the
statement that he has in another lie.
The only reason there are not re-
publican negro supervisors in Dock
ery's township is a two negroes,
who ran for justice of the peace in the
last election, did not know the law
and failed of election because they
thought a justice was only voted for
in the precinct in which he lived, and
not in the entire township. One of the
negroes who failed of election on this
account lived on DOckery's land and,
we have no doubt, received his vote.
The above lie is only a sample of the
sort Dockery is retailing. He absolute
ly refuses to meet a democrat on the
stump, hence he lies at least nine
times out of ten every time he opens
his mouth.

THE NEGRO AS A TAXPAYER.

In round numbers the Messenger has
given the proportions Of tax-paying as
follows: White tax payers 50 per
cent, black tax payers 5 per cent.
Mr.. Charles Aycock gives it exactly at
968 per cent for whites on property
tax, and 80 for negroes. And still the
small fraction are put in power by the
black radical contingent to rule the
white people Of North Carolina. All
men but fools and liars will say that
it is a great and unmitigated outrage
Upon the intelligence, character and
civilization of the state. Mr.. Aycock
also states that the whites pay Is per
cent. of poll tax, and negroes % per
cent, and yet Sambo and Pomp vote
right along just as if they paid the
not pay a cent of taxes of any kind.
According to Mr.. Aycock the whites
pay IS per cent. Of all taxes of all
kinds. He adds instructively: But
when it comes to count out the school
money, each little negro gets a dollar
with each little white child. Yet when
the negro goes to the polls he votes
against the democratic party-against
the white mamie draws the color
line" There are lots of food for
thought right in what is given. Con-
slider and then act. Shall the negro
rule the white man-that is the issue.
Shall fellows who do not move a hand
to support the government be permit
ted longer to boss the state, choose
officials and dominate the white tax
payers, who do nearly all that is done
to keep the government going? 1t is
an u~nspeakable outrage to dare to af-
practical reality.
II Dan Russell and his greedy, hum
cry crowd had to rely upon the taxes
paid by their negro supporters and
hackers for their grub and grab, Dan
would have to take to his Brunswick
farm and learn how to milk COWS. The
others would drop into Obscurity out Of
which they were dug, and those that
did not peck rock would prowl around
living in some way at the expense of
their neighbors. They are O lazy
probably to work and make a living.
The most wicked, senseless, immoral
idea of the gang is to make the whites
the hewers of wood and drawers of
groeS.

not only be bankrupt, but it will be
chaos itself, and life and property
would be more unsafe than they ever
were under the assaults Of the Indians,
who killed and burned in occasional
raids. The correspondent further
says:
"The negroes in the adjoining states
are discussing it and are enthused, and
the idea is spreading in ever widening
concentric circles.
IF North Carolina goes republican
again this year, we intend to over
there. The negro has more rights
there than anywhere else" This was
the substance of the talk in both South
Carolina and Virginia. The blacks are
very much dissatisfied with the politi-
cal conditions in the former states and
are anxious to get away.
Nor is this a fanciful and altogether
Elusive dream of commonwealth or
the part of its projectors. On the con-
trary, it is far more practical than
Bishop Turner's scheme to deport his
people to Africa and colonize and civ
iliZe the dark continent"
