to the ring family there is not over 275
or 800 majority at the most-so you can
readily see about 15O voting indepen-
dent would change the wind and start
the tides In another direction-but gen
tlemen, be careful and keep this a pro-
found secret because we are on the
verge of ruin and if the democrats and
dissatisfied element of the republica as
find this out we are gone to the .ssdim.
nation bOw-wows."
/ believe the people of this county are
beginning to do more reasoning for
themselves, and are becoming thorough
~ Disguised with the present state of
affairs, which has been run by the same
family cousins fer something like thirty
Eve years: Gentlemen, did you know
taxes in Henderson county are higher
than any other county in the state of
North CarolinaP Well; please investi-
gate just q little and see for yourself
and then think who has been debating
for the county and how long.
Fellow citizens, the affairs of this
county are in your hands, now what are
you going to do? let the same ''bosses"
pull the string and you dance,o or will you
be free and independent? Did you ever
think just what estimation you were
held in by the ringsters? Well, its
something like this: We can use mon
a1 and nominate uhoauar vua DlooSo on5
J. Williams, w. G. Rector, q. nj. Pace
and one or two others of the family can
get out and say It's all right now, we fixed
it, you must vote it because it will not
do to begin to spit up, if you do some
honest independent cripple will get ga
little pie" You listen to them, then
you go and do just as they say, then
they laugh at you for the entire term
you r 20 weak minded.
You follow them just as a shepherd Dog
does its master. Reverse matters a
go to debating to them and
see If they pay any attention to you.
The answers to your dictatiOns are
something like this. Well, I just don't
knoW-you may be right will study
about i'll hardly know what to say.
They look to see, when you dictate, if
they are going to get ga little pie."
You don't look nor think only you just
go and vote merely because they said we
fixed 1t and you must vote IT, Don't
you think it would be almost an un-
sin for a Christian man to
vote for Frank Station who has no one
only self TO look after and owns a half
interest in one of the best businesses In
Town, and not able to look after it, in
10 q poor cripple like Frank
Clark who has q family to support and
tries to get q living for himself and
by honest toll. Do you really
believe q true Christian would do this?
Now, In conclusion, let me ask you
Tor your w welfare to vote for some
one for commissioner who has the COM
mon laboring mans interest at heart,
instead of the high tax real estate j. n.
.aldrop-any democrat will be much
bettef-W. A. Smith for instance.
For register of deeds vote for q worthy
mana man who needs the emoluments
the Once-and not one who wants the
office to barter around for greed and
gain. J. L. Freeman is alright for
sheriff unless he goes to talking ticket
and If you hear of him talking anything
only Freeman cut his throat from ear to
aar.
Well, how about G. M. Pace; should
have been kicked out twenty-five years
sgo. Henderson county is or should be
'omething besides a monarchy. Now
gentlemen, get out a ticket of good hon.
,st, highminded, level headed thinking
men who has the welfare of the coun-
'ry and laboring people at heart and let
oartisanism go to the devil as far as
his county is concerned. Wonder if
she Times man would like for his read
'rs to see this III this escapes the
waste basket you will hear from me
gain and will hear from Edneyville in
REPUBLICAN.
