"HowelIsYilIe Democrat Calls D.
G. Regain Down and Brands
his Statement as False.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
l desire space in your paper
to reply to an article in the sup
plement to The Fairmont Messen-
ger of September 3 signed and
supposed to be written byD C.
Regain, ofHowellsville, in which he
makes some statements or init
nations, which are entirely false
and which are without founda-
ton. Mr.. Regain states that he
thinks he knows the people
of his township and that he does
not know any one who is opposed
to the old board of county COM
missioners who is capable of writ
ing such articles as the ones
printed in The Robesonian some
time ago signed "Howellsville
Democrat" In making this
statement Mr.. Regain contradicts
his statement about knowing the
people in his township and shows
ignorance of the actual facts in
the case. He seems to think
that no one else has the ability
to write from his township ex-
cept himself, but I desire to in
form Mr.. Regain that am the
author Of the article signed
''Howellsville Democrat" and,
as stated in the article, the
facts as stated are matters Of
public record and l have no opol
ogy to offer. And his intimatior
that the article referred to was
written elsewhere is wholly false
and | believe maliciously made;
and the similarity that he finds
in these articles are the conclu
sions drawn by a biased mind o:
citizen who is opposed to Dem
ocratic rule by the people ant
, for the people. think that Mr.
Regain will find that all tn
voters of Howellsville can
3 not be bought when the primar
! les roll round; perhaps he Wi
; find that he cannot cast the vot
! of Howellsville as he did 81,
2 years ago in the convention a
l Lumberton.

In passing to more important
matters we pause long enough to
remark that in an editorial which
appeared in the news columns
of it's last issue The Fairmont
Messenger descends to a level
to which we cannot and will
not stoop. The charges which
The Messenger makes against
this paper and it's editor are
too contemplate to be no
ticed. We would not think of
dignifying them by a denial.
We would not for a moment think
of insulting the intelligence of
our readers by supposing that
such contemplate charges have
any weight with them.
The Robesonian. [volume] (Lumberton, N.C.) 1870-current, 1908-09-07

vestigated and found wanting. 4
Perhaps Mr.. McEachern's
challenge came too late. We
care nothing about that, though.
The only thing we ever laid
any stress on in that matter
was that the action Of the
candidate members of the
executive committee-especially
the men who had been under
der investigation-in voting for
a still-hunt for Office, was only to
laugh.
We do not know the exact
date of Mr.. Buie's statement to
the effect that the county was out
of debt, but he made at all right
and lit was a sworn statement,
and he made it just about the
time J. W. Carter aid A. R.
McEachern became commission
ers. 1t has not been denied and
there is no doubt abont the fact
that it was made.
Anything else, doctor? We
strive to please. But why don't
you or some of the commission
ers answer some of the questions
that have been asked? We
have answered questions you
and the others have put to US;
we have answered some so
effectively-A. R. McEachern,
for instance-that they have
not dared to rush into print
again. Why don't the COM
missioners tell why they don't
require ex-Sheriff Mcleod to
pay over certain moneys he is
due the county? We have point
ed out what the amounts are
and for what they are due, but
the commissioners and you and
all their other defenders are 81
lent in all the languages there
4 are about these matters, the only
things that really matter.

A PROPER SUGGESTION.

At the request of Maj. Geo. H.
Hall, of Red Springs, we copy the
following from The Citizen:
AS the Democratic executive
committee decided whether JUS
tifable or not) that there should
be no public discussion before
the primaries, the average voter
has no opportunity Of knowing
the position Of the several candi-
dates upon the questions that
are agitating the county at this
time except through the newspa-
pers, and it is almost impossible
to cast an intelligent vote, as it
is measures, not men, that we
vote for. Therefore, l call upon
the candidates for the Legislative
offices, especially, to state in the
county papers how they stand.
First, upon the Glenn county
matter; second, upon the pres
ent road law; third, their position
in regard to the reelection or
"vindication" of the old board of
county commissioners. l know
that it is policy for candidate
to talk as little as possible. and
not to take Sides, but the pub
lie wants to know their posi-
ton"
G. H. Hall.
We understand that Maj. Hall
has been one of the true and
! tried leaders of the Democratic
, party in the county for a long
time, that he has never belonged
,, to any so-called faction and that
. he only has the interest of the
' party at heart. We agree with
, him that the candidates should
have had an opportunity to
! let the people know where they
, stand.
In addition to what Maj. Hall
has mentioned, we would sug.
gest that the candidates for the
Senate and House should make
q their position known upon the
+ question of the repeal of the &C
h creating the board of audit anC
o finance. We understand that thu
G men who now constitute thi
a board will not accept if reflect
!, ed, but we think the law Great
:. ing this board should be continu
~ ed in force. It is of the utmost i'm
! portance to the people of tn,
# county that the public affairs O.
i the county should be supervise
% by board not connected wit
10 any of the officers.

What 1t Cost
Western Federation of Miners
Pays Immense Sum to Clear
Murderers.

According to the annual report Of the
secretary-treasurer of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners the vast sum Of $685.
O4O was expended in one year in The de-
fense of Meyer, Haywood, Pettibone and
Steve Adams. OF this sum $3.50, ,5ss
came from the treasury OF the Western
Federation and s79, ,45l was contributed
from other sources.
1t is doubtful if so great a sum was ev-
er before expended for the defense OF
four men. Many will question whether
so much money could, properly and le-
Ultimately, be expended. A detailed
statement OF where this money went
would be read with interest, both by
the members OF the Western Federation
Of Miners and the public generally.
Apparently the lawless methods OF
the officials OF the Western Federation
have not been satisfactory to the rank
and Gle of the membership, for the sec
retary's report shows that the organiza-
ton has lost 5000 members during the
last year.-spokesman-Review.
