It never gave a cent to North Carolina schools, except to tho A. and M. colleges. It is a deception and a 1'raad to put tho flag there. Tho state giver, you education.” Speaking of the negro, lie said: "I could never understand why the negro population remains so compact in (lie south, instead of becoming scattered a’.i over tho Union. Tho northern man freed the negro. Why is it that tho ne gro does not go north to bo with his friends, instead of staying in the south Among Ids enemies?” Iiniiprsomitlnf; u MliiUtor Ii No Crime.

Registration tickets ami tax re ceipt must be on hand when you vote at tho new county electi6n. The Ledger is proud of the fight being made for the new county. Our people arc thoroughly united on this question, and in the fight are to be found the gallant men of all sections. - The people in Cherokee Townships, who were compelled to attend the re cent famous trial in Yorkville could have done so at one third the personal expense to themselves, had the trial taken place in the proposed new county. Men have never so thoroughly laid aside their personal whims and united sholder to sholder in a cause as they have in this new county move. The farmer, Hie mechanic, the merchant, and the banker are one solid phalanx. Ask yourself this question : “Why do office holders and newspapers who have no vote on this new county issue oppose it.” The reply is simple. Because they know if it is formed it ivill effect them directly. Senator Tillman cannot address the citizens of the proposed new county without it being alluded to as out- ) side interference by the opponents of ; the new county but it is all right for | office-holders and outside newspapers i to interfere. That consistency, is it 1 not? It is admitted that all the papers in this county are for the new county 1 but one. These papers for the new j county realize the necessities of our ! increasing population and the further fact that our people are intelligent and in all matters of importance are able to look after their own affairs. Keep posted. Don’t let anybody tell you anything about now and smaller counties unless they know what they are talking about. Make them produce proofs. Don’t lake a man’s word unless you know him to be incapable of telling a false hood. Demand his authority for his statements. We invite your special attention to the extracts of the Hon. Geo. D. Tillman on new and smaller coun ties on another page. Having written them some time before the constitu tional convention an 1 a number of the objections having been overcome since, only goes to prove his superior wisdom in the matter. Read it. It seems as if its our business to nail lies about this new county busi ness. There was not a single man’s name on the invitation to Senator Tillman to address our citizen on the subject of smaller counties that went to Spartanburg with the so-called “white-caps.” Every man who signed that invitation was a reformer and had boc-n a supporter of the Sena tor for years. S.-nator Tillman cannot address the citizens of the proposed new county after having been invited by thirty-odd tried and true-blue refor mers without it being staled that “white eiips” had howled him down six years ago. We suppose the Sena tor is aware of the fact that ho was “howled down” by a crowd of thoughtless anti-Tillman youths and not by bis friends. No cause ever made friends by j misrepresentation. Even if you be a 1 new county advocate don’t tell a man ; anything that you know you cannot i prove. It is best to answer a ques- iion by saying that you do not know than it is to endeavor to answer it and tell a lie. Leave mistatements and misrepresentation for the oppo- | sition. Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Among the most ardent new county advocates, and right in the midst of the battle, is to he found 1 J. Q. Little. We serve notice on the J opposition right now that they have ! got the hardest fight of their lives, for wc know J. Q. to bo a foeman I worthy of their steel. If new county 1 can’t win with him on its side it can’t | win at all. He’s a general in politics When you beat him, boys, you have beaten one of the hardest fight- , ors in tho state. The Yorkville Enquirer says if tho Roeso-Lukie-Anderson-Williams trial bad occurred in the proposed new 'county, Cherokee Township in York i county would have found a heavy debt on it at once, just like the Chero kee ^people did not know that they were paying their pro rata share of tho expenses Jof that trial and all others in that county. Our esteemed contemporary presumes too much on ignorance in Cherokee Township. They are not noted for a large stock of that commodity and will show our , friend that they arc an up-to-date i people. In a cose so plain ns this new county business there is no reason to misrepresent anything. All tho argument is in its favor. The oppo sition may make statements and I say they “ believe ” so and so, hut ' they cannot produce facts. We can. No one has ever attempted to deny the official reports of the Comptroller General of the State; no one will attempt to deny the re ports of the auditors of tho various counties. These reports show Unit taxes in new counties nro less than in old counties. Wo defy tho oppo sition to produce a single Instance where taxes are higher in small counties than in large ones. Tho new county is tho thing. Push it along with your vole. GROWING IN UNION COUNTY. THEY WILL POLL A GOOD ROUND MAJORITY. “The Kerna! ” Gi\ ■es the News oi His Neighborhood and Talks of the New County in an En couraging Manner. J Etta Jane, Nov. 23.—There was a singing at \V. A. Donald's last Sat urday night. Miss Ora Kendrick is teaching school near this place. Miss Mamie Lindsay, of McCon- ncllsville, will begin school here on November 30. Mr. H. lorry Estes improves in health very slowly. He has been un- . well all year. The latest new county news that has reached us is that a line will be run from Howell’s ferry to some point on Pacolet river near Grindtll Shoals, leaving tho southern portion of this (Gowdeysville) township ir. the old county. But Bob Davis eays he will not bo cut off in any such a way, and so llie matter stands at present. There w-'s preaching at Mesopota mia yesterday. A good congregation attended. Jt was Rev. Mr. Gleuton’s last sermon for the present year at . that place. I understand that the meetimi at | Mubrv’s mill was an exceedingly noisy affair. Farmers are beginning to sow their wheat, prepare their winter pastures, etc. The Salem Sunday school will have a Christmas treat for their scholar - during the Christmas holidays. Blanche, the littledaugliter of Mr and Mrs. C. W. Whisenant, was seri ously burned one day last week while playing near the fire. Mr. Isaac Patrick, Sr., died at Ins home near Mercer postoffice one day last week. He was a very old man i and withal one of our most quiet ami inoffensive citizens.

Henry Oorry, colored, had a borer to leave ids employ last vvj with neither leave nor license, umf “went for him” last Saturday. Henry is a man with whom there must be no fooling if you want to get alon easy with him. I don’t blame tiimT ebher. H. B. McDonnell and Sam Strain sowed wheat in York county lusvi ; week. I heard of an invitation passing around last week to a singing, which was to come off on Saturday night. Due young lady is reported to have “Tell all the Sams to come.”, It may be she is a psalm-singer. My friend, Robert W. Davif Goudeysvilio, seems to have m; it di ids estimate of the strength' ti new county opposition at ar : ra;t s box. Bob is a shrewd man and isn’t going to tell where bis tnio£j strength lies.

Da Sunday night of last week, j ii"ie after dark, the report of a guJ : ran • out on 1 he evening breeze, indil mo ing that the gencmily quiet hoar ■ one of our colored citizens ha< u thrown temporarily into a .'gut ! i b iligercncy.

His life has been devoted to doing good—even to his enemies, ; a peace maker when it was possible, ' and a fighter when necessary. The lives of these two old gentlemen are a standing advertisement to this won derfully healthful section of our count ry. Last Friday an apple wagon passed through this section from Ruther ford county, N. C. It was drawn by , one horse; about seven bushels of 1 apples constituted the load. He sold them for $1 a bushel. When we consider that poor people in that section have to work so liar! to get a little money to pay taxes, etc., we need not complain when \vt get V cents for cotton. Our farmers f are not worse off than laboring poo- l pie in other parts of the world, in many respects. The new county campaign is pro gressing as usual.
