THE case in question is one that &C.

thrown into the train. It is likely that
few railroads in the country are as per-

following up such miscreants, and this

CALLS TO MEMORY 1892.
Confederate Veterans Were Not Allowed
To Vote.

Confederate Veterans Were Not Allowed
to Vote.
b. X. Lacy, a member OF the state
pie counter association, but who
wants to get nearest the head Of the
table, made a speech to the cheap
button club last Thursday night
The papers say he made brief
speech. An eyewitness says 1t was
a brief failure, bust, nix. The room
would have been full If the room
had been small enough. Hear the
News on it:
"Mr. Lacy, in the course of his
remarks, paid a glowing tribute to
the Confederate soldier: THE fact
that North Carolina furnished sew.
eral thousand and more men than
she had voters said Mr. Lacy.'was
an evidence thqt every man prior
to 1861 was either in the army or
son OF veteran, and the grand
father clause in the constitutional
amendment is the greatest tribute
to these men,"
That Confederate veteran slob-
bering business by cheap politi-
clans OF the Lacy variety don t cut
much ice in this county. Many Of
the Confederate veterans Of this
county walked out Of the Demo.
cratic party more than eight years
ago to stay out forever. They have
not forgotten 1892 when Democratic
county commissioners appointed
eleven ignorant negro poll-holders
for the county. They have not for
gotten that 1860 men were disfran-
chised in this county that year,
many of them old veterans, by this
same gang. We saw Confederate
veterans turned away from the bal
lot box, not allowed to vote (they
were not DemOcrats) and ignorant
negroes walk up and vote the DEM
ocratic ticket at the same box. We
saw a veteran who was blind and
crazy hauled in from the pOOr-hous
and made to vote the Democratic
ticket, when he knew no more about
what he was doing than the horses
that pulled him in. He soon died
was put in 81 IS coffin and buried
in the potter's field. K A. Tor.
