sLLIOT MAKES A REPLY
Criticised Official Says the Grand
Jury Does Him an Injustice.

In regard to the report of the grand jury
on the methods of District Clerk Elliott
in connection with the question of licenses
and certificates, Mr.. Elliott saws he be-
lieves the grand jury does him an injustice
and voluntarily offers the following In his
own defense:
To the Editor DAILY ALASKAN
With reference to the criticism made BY
the grand jury respecting the question of
license certificates, | desire to state that
Judge Johnson while on the bench. ap-
proved of the license certificates issued and
frequently stated, that in his opinion, they
were sufficient In both form and substance.
He held that said receipts issued contained
all that was necessary under the law,
whether the same was designated receipt
or certificate. This was understood by
MANY parties APPLYING for licenses who
posted their license receipts in conspicuous
places In their business houses.
The period over which the license was
to extend. and the conditions under which
the same should issue were determined
under the law BY the court. These were
matters over which had no control, and
for which am In no way responsible.
The following Is the form of license

GREAT DAY IN WAKE
Big Picnic and Barbecue
Near Mt, OIivet Church.
Two Hundred and Fifty Voters With Their
Wives and Children Enjoy Picnic and
H.. Coaacboc
Hear Democratic Speeches.

Yesterday was big day for the
people in the neighborhood OF MI.
Olivet Church, in Houses Creek town
ship, near the line of Swift Creek ana
Cary, and early in the morning the
people began to arrive in buggles'
carriages, wagons, ana before eleven
o'clock more than 500 people had as
sembled. 1t was as fine a crowd OF
people as could be gathered anywhere
1t is one of the remarkable things
of this remarkable campaign that
closes today. that the women in the
country and in town have taken a
deep interest in it, and have attended
most of the speallings, lending their
approval as we'll as their presence TO
the advocates of White Supremacy.
Their presence at the Democratic
meetings presents a striking contrast
to the Fusion meetings. Not single
meeting held by the Fusionists has
been graced by the presence OF the
wives or daughters of the white vo-
tiers. | believe the negro women nave
turned out at two or three places
to hear DR.. Come-Down Thompson,
State has gone out to hear Fusion
sneaker. is there not something in
this contrast?
The speaking at Mt. Olivet yesterday
and the barbecue was under the man
agement of committee composed OF
Messrs. f. r. Gray, A. w. Moye, w.
G.. Crowder, Sam. Wilder, Furman
Gully and L. B. Womble, who were as
sisted by nearly every Democrat in the
surrounding country. In addition 10
the abundance of succulent barbecue
and other edibles, the good housewives
had brought baskets filled with good
things to eat and there was lemonade
and fruit enough for the inner man.
Everything was served in fine style
and everybody had a plenty.
Mr.. Jackson introduced the speakers
and presided over the meeting with
ease. Congressman Atwater was the
first speaker. He spoke about an
hour in his easy, pleasant style, cX-
posing particularly the methods which
Butler and his crowd had employed
to lead the Populists step by step un-
til he could put them in bed POLITICAL
" with the negro.
Mr.. Josephus Daniels, editor of the
News and Observer, spoke next. lie
emphasized the clause in the amend
ment which required all children TO
learn how to read and write after
1908 before they could vote, and made
an earnest appeal to the mothers and
fathers to be inspired by the incen-
tive it offered to educate their chill
dren. na
After dinner Mr.. w. c. Douglass
spoke. He made n vigorous and scinr
tilating speech He called n spade q
spade. and 'shelled the woods" great
" t. the delight of his hearers.
The day was a glorious one for
Democracy. A number of Populists
were out and most of them will vote
for the amendment. They are learn
ing rapidly that the amendment is the
best measure ever presented, and II
the election was a month Off the
white vote for it in that section of
the county would be nearly unanl-
nous.
1t was great day for the Democ-
racy!

POPS AT GARNER.
The Imported Statesman From Allsgany Blows
Off His BaZOo.

The little three handed game of
pow-wow of the Fusion candidates in
this county goes tamely on. Hill E.
King. the statesman from Peanut, has
played aloud on the hewgag and
made a joyful noise on the jews-harp,
but the people have not danced to
his piping nor mourned to his la
menting.
The original trio have been reinforc-
ed by Capt. John Smith, who has
felonious designs on the sheriff's Job,
and by one league who halls from
the State of Allegheny. league is a
beauty. As a rain-bOw-chase1 he is
altogether lovely, and as Populist
speIl-binder he is guaranteed to make
more votes for the Democratic party
in a given length of time than any
man in the State.
Reinforced by these redoubtabIe
and valiant anti-whte man advocates,
the Fusion candidates held meet
ing ct Garner Monday night.
There was present twenty Republi-
cans, fifteen POpuIists and one hun
dred negroes. Capt. Ohm Smith broke
off a few remarks TO get things start
ed league, the Lovely One, followed.
lie said he had been summoned TO
Raleigh by a telegram, but forgot
to say whether he paid for the tele-
gram or not. He wound up a dirty
harangue by saying that it might be
come necessary for the FusiOnists to
use the same means to carry this cleo
ton that the Democrats used to carry
the election at Wilmington. He was
advised by some Democrats that it
would be more healthy for him to stop
giving such advice to the negroes.
Stancil then said his little piece
and Dallas Hays told how hard it had
been for the Populists to get him to
run.
King told about how much land he
owned and what a good soldier he
was. He offered to measure acres
with any man in Wake county.
The speaking was in front of Monta-
CUES store, and the speakers stand
behind a counter, on each corner of
which sat a negro. 1t was a good OBJ
! iect lesson.

Burlington Citizen Has a Raleigh Woman
Put Under Bond.

Justice of the Peace Barbee yester
day had an interesting case on trial
before him. The parties to the suit
were c. +. Alexander, of Burlington,
and Mrs. c. II. McVickers. of this city.
Alexander swore that Mrs. McNick-
ers had made threats against him,
that he was afraid of her and asked
that she be bound over to keep the
peace. Justice Barbee granted the re-
quest placing Mrs. McVickers under a
bond of 800.
She is under a similar bond for her
appearance next Monday afternoon
for trial on a charge of stealing
$50 from Alexander on Sunday night.
Alexander is a middle-aged man,
tall and bald-headed. He claims to be
a printer, and that his home is in
Burlington. He came here about two
weeks ago, and has, he says, been
drinking considerably since. He went
to a boarding house on Wilmington
street and there met Mrs. McVickers,
who had been a boarded there for
some six or seven weeks. They be-
came great friends-so great in fact
that one night, according to AleXan-
der. Mrs. McVickers robbed him while
he slept. For this she was arrested
Monday night. When the constable
made the arrest she became very an
CRY and declared she would kill Alex
ander on sight. And it was for this
that she was yesterday placed under
bond. On next Monday she will be
tried on the charge of stealing the
money.
Mrs. McVickers is the woman who
lived here for many years as Mrs.
Parker and kept one boarder, a man
named G. W. Britt. Before coming to
Raleigh she lived in Granville county
and was there accused of killing her
husband, but was acquitted on trial
From here she went to Durham and
there married a man named McVick-
ers. This man is now supposed to be
travelling, meanwhile she IS here with
Britt and Alexander.
When Alexander had her arrested
Britt went on her bond.
