Mckenzie, as tried by his own
statements and admission is guilty.
He says that he did not have on q
red shirt on the day of election, but
that he had on q piece of red flannel,
q distinction without . difference.
He also says that he did not en-
gage in any of the assaults, but that
he Twas along with the boys and
was q we'll wisher." Now . man that
stands by and eos murder committed
and does try to prevent it, but is -
we'll wisher" is just as guilty in law
as the man who does the killing.
He told q prominent democrat
that he did not engage in RUM
ing off any colored men that day,
but that he saw q strange darkey,
and went to him and asked what he
was doing here and told him he had
better leave. The man told him
(McKenzie) he would leave when he
got ready, so he (McKenzie) went
and told 1.-The boys" and the fellow
was hustled out of town In short
order, So you see by his own testl-
mony. Mckenzie was surely "along
with the boys and we'll wisher."
would not stop to pay any atten-
ton to his structures on me. but
suppose q few copies Of his paper
going beyond Maxton and vicinity.
Here it only to circulate in this COM
tmunity, where he and all the facts
are known. l would leave the matter
with the people for they know
Mckenzie and have repudiated hin
time and again. Last spring ht
(McKenzie) was seized with a burn
ing consuming zeal to become Max
toms mayor so he had himself nom
. mated, but found himself on tn,
morning of election confronted by ,
ticket composed some of Maxton'
!. bestbusiness men and best citizens
= The conse quence was Mckenzie wa
badly loft. But not to DO relegate
by one defeat. He still had his ey
!, on the mayors seat, so this sprin
he proposed the same trick and 20
himself nominated again and one
. more found himself confronted b
). some of Maxton's largest tax payer
!, and best business men and when th
votes were counted he found himse
. more heavily sat down on than b.
- fore.
= So if Mckenzie has not the chez
e Of the proverbial government mule
- he will "crawl in his hole and pm
the hole in after him." But will
- do it, Well Falstaff says-"It is b,
!, fair to say that there was no politi,
>, in either Of these contest, 1t was
4 question of good government fl
- Maxton, pure and simple and whe
10 it comes to that Mckenzie is not
it."
- Mr.. Editor, these are some of ii
" happenings Of election day at OF
, place, but the after effect. A prom
inent Federal Judge said to q lea,
ing democrat of our section. SAY
10 he, "V- take no stock in polite
but the way your people are cor
Quoting this campaign your peopl
will not get over in 80 years." l 81
more and more the truthfulness {
that statement every day.
l. The leaders in the last campaig
ID on the Democratic side unsheathe
70 the sharpest two edged sword, tn
G. old universe ever saw when the
q, taught the people to disregard Ia
z: and carry the election by any so
ID Of means.
