SELLING AND BUYING.

In Politics Both Dangerous Worlds
Curse-Should be Condemned.
The Labor Advocate.
The man who sells his vote for q
drink of bug juice or ten dollar
bill, ceases to be man, he is simp-
ly a commodity on the market and
does not deserve to be permitted
the society of human being, he SIM
ply ought to be locked up in a cage
and marked "for sale to the highest
bidder" He doesn't deserve the re-
spect of his family, for he is jeopar-
dizing their interests, he Is sup
posed to take care OF them
and vote for their betterment
and fail to do so he is working them
an injury. He is no good to the
world for he does not set an exam
pie good for his fellow citizens to
follow, and he works. injury to the
immunity by sustaining some
scheme injurious to the communi-
ty, for the person or persons who
buy votes do not do it to further
honest principles and wise laws for
the good of all. Consequently such
man is better out of the world
than in it. These reflections also
apply to the fellow that sells out
for a thousand, or more or less.
The man that buys vote, well
he's about as At candidate for q
warmer climate as it is possible to
get. He entices as it is possible te
get. He entices brother human
being into committing a crime
against civilization of the world
In selling his vote man lowers th'
standard of morality and debaset
himself and by his act setting bat
example for his fellow being. Blu
in buying a vote. the pers IN tina
does it, seeks to degrade, and lay
the foundation for the overthrow
Of all that is good and noble, max
ing the world not desirable habi

Danger in Over-Confidence.

The only danger that eonfr, ms the
Democrats to-day in Nor h Carolina is
the danger of over-confii ieBc..
The Democracy knows that the reg
istration books show ma lority Of 30,-
600 to $4,000 for the amendment. Is
there not danger that this gratifying
knowledge will lull the party into such
a seuse of security as wifi make men
feel that hard and incessant work is
unnecessary.
A registered majority will not elect

Letter from Wilkesboro: l desire

the most dastardly frauds ever COM

directly to the generalization Of

follows, to wit:
At one of the precincts, the DEM
ocrats put up little ball-thread ropes
which they themselves cut, or had
done. At the same box, after much
persuading and begging By the Re
publican judge, they (Democrats)
assured him that no harm would
come out of 1t. In this case they
agreed to finish counting. before
night, which they did, and on &C
count of cutting OF ropes, the Coun
ty Board threw out this box In
another case. it has been asserted

In this county was farce. The Dem

the precincts before sunrise, and
threw out such men as they want
