THE TAR HEEL A CORKER.
Why Are the Distillers i'm Sympathy
With the Indicted Revenue
Officers?

To the Editor: We have at last got
out an issue of the Tar Heel, and
what do you think of it? I think it
is a corker. Our object in organizing
the Tar Heel Club and also in starting
the Tar Heel paper is to disorganize
and destroy the Republican party in
the State or make E. Spencer Black
burn boss patronage dispenser. You
can see from the editorials in the
Tar Heel that we are fighting bossism
and the Federal officeholders in the
la, nth DlStrIct to-wit. PoStmaSterS,
revenue officers and we fellows who
want jobs expect to continue the fight
until we succeed in making our Spcn-
Ger boss. After he has been made
boss and we hungry fellows get jobs
then we will turn our attention to
matters of less Importance and try to
build up a Republican party of our
own liking. The matter that is CIV
ing us most concern just now is to
ascertain whether Spencer is going to
move into the Eighth Congressional
District before our next convention.
He did not move into our district two
years ago until after the convention,
and 1t came near proving fatal to his
election. We are perfectly willing,
if he will move into the district before
the convention meets, to allow him to
leave the district the next day after
the election, and not remain here
eight days after the election, like he
did two years ago. There is no one in
the district who has intelligence or
ability enough to represent us in Con-
gress so We want him to move into
the district before the next conven-
ton, in order that our district may
noe be represented by an ignoramus.
We think he ought to be willing to
stay three or four months with the
ignorant, illiterate people of the
eighth district. in order to secure a
seat in Congress. We know it would
be humiliating to him to do this, but
all of us have to bear these burdens
and misfortunes as we journey
through this troublesome world.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we want yon to
use your influence with Mr.. Black
burn and have him to do the things
that viii be for his best interest, and
we will thank you with the Tar Heel
Club, through which we can dra"
funds 20 run our business, ana me
weekly Tar Heel, through whose col
umns we can cuss out the regular
Republican organization, and Spencer
having moved into our district in time
to stop criticism we certainly can
make him boss. and then and not till
then, can we hug bossism II our
bosom and call it blessed. We allow
every disappointed office-seeker to
cuss out the Republican State organ!-
cation through the columns of our
paper, and we even allow old man
Trough" to vent his spleen against
the world. the flesh and the deNii
through our columns.
Mr.. Editor. in conclusion. desire
to ask YOU a question as you are al
WAYS posted on matters and things,
why is Il that the distillefs and liquor
men all over the western district are
in sympathy with the indicted rye
me officers? We can't understand it.

salaried officers in a bank to engage
in any speculative business. Another
thing in this connection is the small

that they did not pay any interest on
