ants, talking about the Dem
ocratc ''machine" and "hoss
rule" in the Democratic par.
ty.
Everybody knows that the
Republican party in North
Carolina ever since it's organ
ization, has been completely
under the control oi a few
"bosses' whose diction and
orders have been implicitly
Obeyed by their followers.
And this is very Ma tural in a
party, a majority Of whose
members had asformer sla yes
been taught obedience to
their owners
Even at this time the Re-
publican party, is completely
controlled by one maD-Sen
ator Pritchard-whose word
ia the law and whose Ordf r.
are oneyed by all he Repub-
leans in the State as If they
belonged to him. No man
can truthiully deny this. And
yet some Republicans have
the cheek to talk about the
Democrats being boss rid
den.
The trouble with the Demo
Gratis is that they have been
and still are too independent
and not willing to submit
their individual opinions to
the decisions OF their party.
And nobody can truthfully
deny this. Aud when you hear
Il pretended Democrat talk
ing like the Republicans do

chine" you may know at
once that he has started to
join the Republicans.

Others who own mules and

other property and able bod
led men we're released from
paying poll taxes, while poor
old Dave Adams. who we all
know is not able bodied and
who lost every thing in the re
cent food was left to pay or
lose his vote" The Republi
cans replying to the attack
of the Record, say that the
former Democratic board re-
leased as many from poll tax
as the republican board, the
records show forty-nine re-
leased by the Democratic
board and 204 by the repub.
licah board.
The good work done by the
Record in Madison county
will bear fruit. Ithas shown
that in the mountain coun-
ties, as well as in the East
Republican rule in North Car

Capt. James Robertson, of So

the city visiting his daughter, Mrs
French Hoge. Capt. Robertson has
acquired reputation that is cock
tensive with the boundaries of the
State and that reputation is enviable
as an honest and upright lawyer.
In the civil war he supported the
cause OF the South displaying his
gallantry and patriotism on many a
hard fought field. He has always
been a jealous Democrat. There is
no enterprise effecting the communi.
ty IN which he lives in which he is
not always ready and willing to lend
helping hand; while on the side of
law, order and good government in
general, his influence is recognized
as a power in the land.-PIkevlll,
