THE PROOF IS AT HAND.

The Franklin Times copies the News
and Observers statement that Repub-
lican leader in Franklin county had APP
preached a Democrat and urged him to
run for the Legislature as an independ-
ent, promising that he would be "cared
for" whether elected or not. The prom
Use of being "cared for" meant Fed
eral office. The Times adds this:
1.-THE editor of the Times has in his
possession the name of the Democrat
approached" and also the name of the
Republican Header" who offered the
bride. They will be given to the public
in a future ISSUE"
The whole plan of the Republican cam
paign in Eastern North Carolina depends
upon the ability to buy men with office.
In addition to the Franklin county offer,
another gentleman was offered the post
office in his town if he would organize
the county with the view of securing
the election of a legislator who would
vote for Pritchard. He had followed Lee
four years and, though not rich in this
worlds goods, he never gave the offer
any more attention than contemptuous
refusal to sell his birthright for a mess
of pottage. Very few men who wore the
gray have been open to propositions of
the sort that Pritchard makes his stock
in trade in politics. He bought every
Populist who voted for him in 1897 with
an office. He has bought influential
support since then with office, and he
evidently thinks it will work again. But
the men who have real influence in
North Carolina will not sell it for office,
and the Republicans might as well keep
their negroes in office and not hawk the
offices about offering them to men of
influence. The man who is traitor
enough to sell out for the office. cannot
deliver any votes.

Probably 20 per cent Of the stock

route to Helena from Flowerree,
where, for a day, he was engaged in
dipping stock. He says that all stock
in this vicinity is badly affected with

sary for him to return to F1owerree
Monday to complete the work. He
said:
tI was looking after some horses
belonging to Adolph Nelson and some
cattle belonging to H. H. Nelson and
S. H. Flick. All that I dipped were
contaminated and there are many
others between that point and Great
Fails in the same way. 1t will be nee
