The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1906-10-25

I'm Ii out On the campaign seek
Ing the Office again for another term.
Isn't IL remarkable that 4 democrat
should want n ONCE.
A little negro boy 10 years Of age,
vas bound over TO the next term Of
our court here last Monday for steal
Ing rifle from the residence Of Mr..
William Signor.
Ask Mr.. Fred Bynum, /. young
attorney, Of this place, how many
people went out TO hear him .aorate"
ct Meropey school-house at his ap-
pointment there Q few nights ago
Mr. Jas L. Griffin. candidate for Su-
perior Court Clerk, can tell the num-
Der present If pressed upon 10 do 50.
but IL is not thought that he would
care TO inform as TO the exact num-
Der.
The common laborer, now gets
more for his service than first grade
teacher In our public schools. Is
this right? Under Republican laws
the country Is exceedingly prosper
GUS, hence the good wages paid for
labor TO the poor man, while under
a democratic school law, admins
tered entirely by democrats, lite
rary talent IL at low etb, and the
prices paid by democratic boards of
education to the hard worked teacher
Is very low. Is this right?
Taxpayers, how do you like the
idea of having to buy new set of
school books, selected by set Of
politicians This will have to be
done very shortly.
Lookout for another and larger
bond issue if the democrats are kept
in power. 1t is bound to come.
The record of accounts in the Reg
lister of Deeds Office in the court
house show that w. E. Brooks, Reg
lister OF Deeds, has not balanced
Sheriff Milliken's accounts but one
year since the present sheriff has
been in Office, and that was for the
year 1903, and that settlement
shows that the sheriff was given
1907 .38 more than he was entitled
to on the school fund. Mr.. Brooks
stated in the presence of Messrs. j.
E. Bryan and Spence Taylor last at
ternoon that this was only mis-
take and that Sheriff Milliken was
an honest man and would pay it
back to the school fund.
The records show that Sheriff Mil.
liken received $32 .85 more than the
two per cent allowed him by law
for paying out the money received
from the Chatham County bond is
sue. Whose mistake is this?
The above mistakes were made,
one over two years ago, the other
one year ago, and credit must or
should be given to the Republican
candidate for Register Of Deeds for
discovering them, which will cause
these above amounts to be retu, ned
to the County.
In trying to make it appear that
the cost to the County for services
rendered by the Board of County
Commissioners under Fusion rule for
three years was more than the demo
Gratis got for the same length of time
they have got to include The cash
amount paid out of his own pocket
by Commissioner Taylor $15O.24,
and also they put in their account
pay for the board for three days. SER
vices rendered in an entirely differ
ent year, of $40. They don't tell
you that our board had charge of all
road affairs, ana that they had a
Board of Roads Commissioners to
do their work which cost the county
big sum. This Road Board for
the year 1904 cost the County
s239.31. We have not the figures
for the other two years. This looks
like economy, does it?
We are reliably Informed that the
Chatham County Road tools and
implements are being much used by
some of the Road Supervisors on
their private farms and for their own
private benefit
Mr.. Jas. l.. Griffin announced all
around the county last week that he
was representing w. E. Brooks, can
didate for Register Of Deeds, and
then when Mr.. T. J. johnson gave
the people hot shot on account of ir
regularities in the Office complained
that Mr.. Brooks public record ought
not to be mentioned in Mr.. Brooks
absence.
