A ~HYP0CRITICAL FRAUD.

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
Every county is afflicted periodical.
ly with some kind of a humbug, and
Cumberland county is sm,cted with
an ecclesiastical political humbug. A
man named Levitt, who hailed from
parts unknown is preaching holiness"
in this county. This sainted parson, in
one Of his tent meetings" in this
county, slandered the white women
by calling them idiots, strumpets and
huzztes, and a disgrace to true woman
hood"
He was forced to move his tents
from McMillan's Chapel, or be adorned
with a beautiful coat OF tar and feath-
ers. Since the sainted psrson received
his cool reception at McMillan's chapel
he has volunteered or have bee1 EN-,
ployed by the Democrat Machine to
organize BLACK White Gibbs" for
white Black Leeguer Winston"
The Democratic Machine of this
county has taxed up this ecclesiastical
detamer Of the white women of Cum
berland county. These self confessed
niger bowling Democrats congregate
around this sainted 60 fraud and wag
their heads IN glue and rejoice in their
own w~Ickedness. He rev5ls in the
muck Of modesty.
Leavitt is fraud of the first water,
even though he prays night and morn,
till he's black in the face and bowls
hG-lc-!u-jah till he shakes the eternal
hills. Yet this brazen-faced black
guard parades himself as a saint that
has pre-empted a corner lot right up
against the great white throne. This
ecclesiastical blackguard and defamer
Of the white women, the young ladies
of Flea Hill, whose virtue shines as the
sun in its morning glory, goes armed
TO his teeth with a pistol of gigantic
caliber, adorned with a red shirt, which
being interpreted means that blood is
thicker than water" He takes his
pistol from his pocket, where he has it
concealed, lays it on a table, and har,
rangues his benighted political follow
ers.

MORE HYPOCRISY EXPOSED.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
SwANsBORO, N. O., Oct %. 1897.
Our little D ,mocratic town has been
enlivened up again lately, so to speak.
Last Saturday, 18Th inst, our county
candidates met here in pint debate;
there were ten in all, but only three
made speeches; the rest merely an
nounced themselves. Those that spoke,
or tried TO, were Frank Thompson,
Democratic candidate for the legisla
ture, (brother of our Cy Thompson), J.
n. Franks, Populist candidate for
same place, and J. W. Burton, Demo
cratic candidate for G. 8. Q. Mr.. Bur
ton expatiated a little by reading from
his batch of papers the number of ne
gro officers in the State, but didn't tell
how they become eff; GERS. He wanted
the votes Of all the white people; had
naught to say against his opponent as
a man; he was only on the wrong
track.
Next was Mr.. Francks, P0pulist
candidates for the House. He made a
good speech of an hour, severely ar
raiguing the Democratic party for
their wrong doing, telling some plain
facts concerning negro officers, and
how they were put in office, and who
voted for them, &3. When he cited
an instance where Mr.. Jas. A. Bryan,
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR The sENRTE
IN THIS DISTRICT VOTED FOR NEGRO
not long ago, they didn't believe it
the very idea of Mr.. Bryan voting for
a negro, was out of the question. Mr..
Francks made a telling speech and was
we'll received.
Mr.. Thompson replied in an hours
talk. He tried very hard to refute
Francks' accusations, but couldn't do
it, and when he told that Mr.. Bryan
did vote for a negro, but had to do it
in self defense, some of them took the
bait and swalIed it down. ALI right
for a
DEMOCRAT TO VOTE FOR A NIGER"
when he can save his party" by so
| doing. Mr.. Thompson is not a radical
speaker at all, very mild in most of his
words, and didn't try to abuse like
some we have heard. He is surely
kin to his brother Cy along that line.
OF purse he did his best for his party
and was loudly applauded by his party.
MI. Bryan also spoke to a small au-
dience. He said he did vote for a ne
gro Palmer, of NeWbern, but did it to
save his party from utter ruin; did it

T !!

Correspondence OF the Progressive Farmer,
Listen to what the ex Chairman of
the Democratic party of Hartford
county has to say: W. P. Taylor, ex-
Chairman and ex R Preventative of
the corrupt bourbon Democratic party
of Hartford county, said on the streets
of Winton, N. O., the other day in the
presence of T. L Lassiter, D. w. Owen,
R. L. Saunders, James Askew and
others that if he had his OWN WAY the
old bull pens in North Carolina would
be re.instated, and that it was the
feirest way to hold ar election.
What! is it possible that this man
Taylor, who poses as the leader and
adviser of the rank and file of the
Democratic party of Hartford county,
should favor a return to the fraudu
lent ballot box stuf1ng system of 1922
Yes, no doubt he would be glad. 1t
was under this bull pen method that
be managed to get a seat in the secret
circular, Simmons legislature of 1898,
and in 1894 that James s Mitchell was
defeated" though elected by 800 ma
iority. Yes, Mr.. Taylor is not the only
one who favors such a return to this
thievish and corrupt method of hold
ing elections in North Carolina; for he
only voices the sentiment of numbers
of others connected with the Demo
cratic machine. And the poor white
man and poor colored man may rest
fully assured that if the Democratic
machine can manage to get control Of
the next legislature that these old dark
and fraudulent bull pens will again be
erected and the rights Of the people
will never more be respected. Let
every man who is opposed to bull pens
aud who favors an honest ballot and
fair count in North Carolina, rise up
in the power of his might" on Novem-

SPEAKING AT

Correspondence Of TIL Progressive Farmer.
The so called evangelist T.. Fl. Lesvitt
spoke to a small crowd composed
chiefly of boye) at Steadman on the
night of October 5sh, on the claims of
the Democratic party. Mr.. Leavitt
said in the beginning that he was not
speaking in the interest Of any party,
but went ahead and made one of the
most intensely bitter Democratic
speeches ever heard in this section.
He insulted the Populists with his
mud singing, even going far enough to
call them ''abominable white men,"
He stepped below the dignity Of a gen.
tleman, say nothing Of a preacher. He
badly misrepresented the Populist
party in many ways, In order to en-.
phasize some of his assertions he drew
a revolver from his pocket and laid it
on the stand and then put it back into
his pocket. This man came through
this section last spring pretending to
preach the Gospel and is now doing the
work Of a political demagogue. He
had on the red shirt.

The complete novel in the Novem.
Der issue of Lippincott's, "a Triple
Entanglement," by Mrs. Burton Har-
rison, has its scenes mainly in Spain
and England. The hero is an Ameri-
can, whose course of true love does
not by any means run smooth, but
leads him into safe harbor at last. The
tale is one of this favorite authors
best, and perhaps the longest which
has ever appeared in L~'ppincott's.
The regular subscription price of the
Saturday Evening Post, a weekly mag.

There could be no more convincing
evidence of Rudyard Kipling's unique
position among modern writer's than
the lack Of SUI prise at the tremendous
demand for his new book, The Days
Work." People interested in literary
matters seem TO consider it quite in the
ordinary course of events that three
large editions of the book should have
been required to fill the first orders.
For a week after it appeared the
Doubleday & Mcclure Company were
unable to supply the booksellers, al
though they we producing two thou

sand copies, had to bs put on the press.

Chairman c. H. Triplett, of the old committee, informs us that if such a resolution was passed by the candidates, he was not present nted with said resolution by the secre- tary of said meeting, and, therefore, had no "oficial' knowledge of it. and could not call a meeting of the committee to consider it. However, the resolution was published in the local press and commented on at length by the Little Rock papers, aud that such resolution was passed
  was matter of common notoriety. It was the duty Of the secretary to present Chairman Triplett with a copy of the resolution, in which he was no doubt derlect, but had the chairman been in favor of said resolution, it occurs to us that he could have easily obtained copy of it and placed it before his com mittee.
