A HARMLESS REPORT.
A Big Gun and Nothing in it But
Powder.

A Big Gun and Nothing IN IL Dut
Powder.
To The Editor of The Robesonian:
hardly know how to answer my
man democrat, as he shot such a |
big gun; he thought he would
kill me with the great noise
of the gun. There is nothing in
his letter to answer. There is
not substance enough in his let
ter had it been salt to have sea-
soned a humming birds liver.
He reminds me of the way In
dams used to fight in colonial
days, behind trees, stumps and
rocks, etc. They would not come
face to face to fight the enemy
so that is the way with my
democrat, he will not come face
to face; he goes in the bushes
and gets behind something, for
protection. But the true Jeffer-
sonian democracy does not teach
any such doctrine. It's princi-
pies are to stand face to face on
honest principles and not get be-
hind something for protection in
order to destroy the true princi-
pies of the democratic party.
l heard a preacher say, in
Robson county, some IA or Is
years ago, he once knew a
preacher that had a false report
going on him-so one day he
went to his appointment to
preach and some of his members
told him they wanted to inform
him of the report that was being
circulated on him. He said all
right, what is it? Why they say
you have stolen a sheep, what
about it! Well, l told my wife
the other day | was really afraid
that l was not as strong a
| Christian as | should be, and she
wanted to know the cause, and |
told her everything was moving
along too smoothly with me.
But now l know l am all right
since | am having prosecutions.
That is the way with Mr.. Nc.
u Leod, he has been prosecuted
until | think he is a better mar
than ever before in the estima
ton of the democratic voters O.
Robson county.
To the voters of Robson coun
, ty: What started all these re
ports on Mr.. Mcleod was tn
1 board of audit and finance, thei
: accountants first made a mistak
=, and said Mr.. Mcleod was du
e Robson county a lot of money
: Mr.. Mcleod said in a letter t
r the Robesonian it was mistake
y the county was due him none!
}. So the board of commissioner
n and the board of audit and /
/ nance had a joint meeting an
er employed Messrs. ]. P. STAINS
y. and Parmele as expert accoun
y ants and their findings were TIL
Ot Robson county was due M
n McLead $874.66 instead Mr.. M
IS Leod due the county. Soft is {
es settled and done with, and
n do hope that these reports W
tn be stopped. I do earnestly b
~ lieve that Mr.. G. B. Mcleod al
u the county commissioners
Robson county are all strong
is in the estimation of the tr
as democrats of Robson coun
ar now than they were before
A these fictitious reports we
ed started on them. Now l S
IS. lets all stop so much talk fol
&c never have tried to quit an
IN thing in my life but what l coU
he do it except loving the wome
n I can't quit that nor l am Il
to going to try to quit it. AS the
cir is nothing in my friends lett
a to answer l will close by sayil
OF if you should write again plea
