The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1900-08-16

he night OF election they claim that
some OF them were shot At from Am.
oush on their way home. They
raised cain" sent for the sheriff
and telegraphed for blood hounds
$50 they say, but the whole thing
Tell hat, and we know It was q put |
up JOB among themselves, for after
the sheriff came we heard no more
about 1t. Some of their employees
voted with Us aud have been dis
missed, consequently are out OF
work. Do not think any Of our |
people are getting weak. They are
stronger than ever.
With Q ia election We could have !
carried the State by q large msjorl-
ty. Is there no protection from
these devils who curse honest m n
Tor voting what they call the "nig
ger ticket" and then they steal the
ticket?
At one of the precincts In our
cou ty they ran OF the men who
had our tickets: at other places they
were 30 badly treated that they
walked OF without voting. They
had winohesters in the postoffics and
loaded them in the pre- ssnce Of some
OF our citizens.
FORSYTH COUNTY.
Letter from Winston-Salem: We
had no election here. We should
have had between 1900 and 1880
votes cast here. when in fact we
had little over 8 800. On the day
election nearly every negro voter in
salem, Winston, Middle Fork and
Old Town were challenged, and
m st Of them were forced 10 stand
aside aud large number Of the
challenges were never tried or
counted. In Winston as a Republi-
can voted the boxes were immedi-
stely changed 80 that no Republi-
can who could read and write c uld
show or tell another how to vote.
In Vienna township, every ticket
was handed to the judges and some
were put In the wrong box and
thrown out.
PERSON COUNTY.
II bltE "OdC
gross frauds perpetrated at four pre-
cine in this county. There was by far
the most dishonest and unfair election
held in this county last Thursday that
has ever been known here. The four
! precincts were east and west RoxbOro,
Club Lake and Woodsdale. In east
RoxbOro, we had no representative at
all, but the registrar and judges were
all bitter democrats and we lost Oh that
side between so and 100 votes In west
ROXbOro, they gave us a negro Judge,
and they ran 1t rough shod over him
At this precinct, they only gave Cole
man for the Senate four votes, when he
received, or should have received, $50,
as the balance Of the ticket received
about that number. At WOOdsdale,
they made man a Judge of election
who lived in the State of Virginia, who
could not register and vote here him
self, and the precinct went ab)u forty
democratic. This precinct was stolen
outright. The same was done at Chut
Lake. Longs majority over Colema
. in the county was S25, and Bradsher':
r over Reade, 545. Mr. Long, himself, il
, not satisfied with the 'ount in Severa
Of these precincts, and many Othel
democrats are disgust.d d at such rascal
,, ity. Our Register of Deeds was onl!
defeated by nine votes, and this wa
, due solely to an outrageous unfairness
when he should have been ele ted by a
least 200 majority, and democrati
!, Judge told me this himself"
