The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1906-08-30

/ II WAs great NNnSenfaOn.
The Republicans who heard Sens-
tor Butler's speeeh seemed BY their
looks 20 be in good humor and were
greatly enjoying IL, while the few
Democrats present from their looks,
looked very pale, and appeared -
those 10 whom some great calamity
were about TO befall them.
There Is car famine again On ai
High Point. Business In 90 great
on the Southern Railway that the
railroad simply cannot furnish the
cars 10 move the freight offered for
shipment. Did you ever hear Of o
car famine when Cleveland was
President Did you?
Right now, In the summer, when
business Is usually dull, the railroads
are having more business Offered
them than they can handle with dis
patch and promptness, and yet our
Democratic friends say that we need
change in the 'tariR." Great

When the Fusionists took contro.
of county affairs a few years ago,
parties holding county orders had 10
sell them at a discount Of 10 per
cent, and this had been the case for
many years. This was the condi-
tion of affairs then, but the Fusion
lists at once under the administration
OF Sheriff Jenkins, began paying
100 cents on the dollar for all county
orders, and this continued under
Sheriff Johnson. The democrats got
control again, and what do we find
We find that their administration is
so very extravagant that I'd keep
county orders at par they had to
borrow $4,000. This is the truth,
and cannot be denied. The voters
this fall ought to be able to see the
vast:difference in the financial ability
in the interest of the people, Of the
two parties. AT the present rate of
extravaganza it is only a question of
time when Chatham will be bank
rupt county.
Mr.. A. NJ. Webster has recently
built for his own use very neat
cottage, seven miles west tOf here,
right in front of EmmOns' chape
DIR. Ii. T. Chaplin, of this place,
has good red land farm one and
half miles northwest of here, that
he desires to rent to some good white
tenant. The farm house is new
two story building, with good metal
roof, painted, etc. There is an ex-
cellent we'll of water, good two story
barn, and the farm is suitable for a
two-horse crop. The location is
high and elevated, and there is no
healthier location in the county.
No Democrat should complain
about the payment of the South
Dakota bonds for his party was the
party that issued them. Mr.. Marion
Butler aided the owners in collect
ing them. If they were not o. K.
why did the Democratic State gov
eminent pay them? Now, when a
Democrat mentions these bonds, ask
him why his party issued them :?
If private individual gives his
note or bond promising to pay an
other money, do you think it would
be right for him to repudiate his
promise? No, neither should State
refuse to pay its just debts. There
is something wrong in State or
individual who would repudiate an
honest debt. Honest peoples debts
never run out of date.
No Chatham County Democrat can
tell you how he will vote at the next
national election on any issue before
the people. On the money issue he
has voted for and against free silver,
and for and against the gold stand
ard. The rank and file of the party
cannot tell you their position On the
money question, and neither can
Messrs. London & Hayes tell you.
At some future time orders will be
sent to them how to act, and then
they will send their orders out to the
little fellows.
| Democrats in this county COM
plain and say that the Hon. Marion
Butler ought not to have had any
thing to do in making this State pay
the South Dakota bonds. Mr.. Butler
Is lawyer and acted just as any
other lawyer would have done for
client in the collection Of claims put
into his hands. But hold on. Mr.
Democrat, before saying too much
about these bonds. Please tell ths
people that it was Dem ocratic leg
islature that authorized these bonds
issued, and the highest court in thu
United States, the S"2reme Court
said they were legal and should b.
paid, and a Democratic State gov
eminent paid them. Now, MI
Democrat, you had better keep quie
! about these bonds.
