REINHARDT INDICATED.
THE PENlTENTIARY Committee De.
NY the POSTS ReHORT.

Good management of the Arson Farm
His Persec utors Rebuked.
In order to cover up their greed
for pie, and their revolutionary ac-
ton in taking control of the peni-
Tertiary, the Democrats tried hard to
impress upon the people that it was
necessary, in order to save the State
from loss that had and might come
from the ''incompetency" and "bad
management of those in control.
To do this, the papers must do their
part. The Morning Post published
what it purported to be the report of
the committee to examine the farms.
In reference to the Arson Farm, it
it was so worded as to reflect on the
Supervisor, Mr.. R. P. Reinhardt.
This was holy mama to the Newton
Enterprise. This paper, for several
years, yea. ever since Capt. Rein
hardt saw cause to join the Populist,
(for he was all right before) has been
doing all it could TO SANDER and ruin
him. This was too great an oppor-
unity, and besides publishing the
report of the Post, said editorially:
"We give at another place an IN
teresting account by the committee
appointed by the Legislature to visit
the Wadesboro farm of the condition
they found things. AS this farm is
presided over by citizen of Cataw-
ba, we had hoped that it would be
found in better shape than the 9TH
ers. But it seems to be in a deplor-
able condition. No accounts seem
to have been kept Of sales or any
thing else"
After this had been published, the
Wadesboro Messenger, a rank Dem
ocratic paper, published right in
sight of the farm, and not having
lost all feeling of honesty and justice,
its editor publishes the following ed
itorial:
CAPT. REINHARDT EXCULPA,rED.
In the issue of the M. & l. of February
End, there appeared an article, copied from
the Morning Post, which purported to be
the report of Representative Harrison, q
member of the Legislative SUI, committee
which investigated the Arson State farm, as
to the condition of the said farm. The re-
port not only belittled the farm. both gen.
orally and particularly, but reflected upon
the management by Supervisor Reinhardt
The members of the sub committee deny
that they said the things contained in the
Post article and have given Capt. Reinhardt
the following certificate which explains
itself
RALEIGH, N c., Feb. 10, '99.
To whom it may concern:
This is to certify that in our report on the
Arson county State farm We meant no re-
Election on the character or business qualiti-
cations of the Superintendent, Mr.. Rein
hardt. We were treated with every courtesy
and found the farm in good condition. He
is in no way, so far as We could find out, re-
sponsible for the poor help. poor machinery
and poor teams forced upon him by bis sn-
perior in Office.
| J. K. ABBOTT, Rep. of Camden Co.
H. 8. HARRISON, of Halifax.
JOHN G. THOMAS, of Davidson.
The above ought to be enough. But
we have more. The good people of
and about Wadesboro, those who
have seen his work and know how it
compares with his predecessors, with
out Mr. Reinhardt's request, draw up
and sign the following petition:
| WADEsBoRo, N. G.,
