H. P. McCardle, of the fusion forces,
announces that he is a candidate for
the position of sergeant-at-arms in the
state senate. In this connection, a
state senator-elect stated to a Herald
man that the senate would be organ

effect of The Record article by saying
democrats hired the negro editor TO
write the article for campaign pur-

liars get it rubbed into them by the
following, head and all, which appear
ed in The Record of August 31st:
"A MALICIOUS LIE REFUTED.
1.-THE enemies Of The Record, not be-
ling content with trying to damage our
business, are now seeking to assail our
personal character by stating that we
were a party to an intrigue with dem
ocrats for the purpose Of defeating the
republican party in North Carolina. To
all such we un~hesitatingly say that
the statement is a base, malicious lie,
born in the brain of some worthless
coward who dares not face US with the
lying Islander. The puerile resolutions
of thai executive committee has
brought them into disgrace with every
honest negro, by their vile statement
that we were not defending our race.

never intend to have any understand
