The Democrats eed sufficient funds to meet actual expenses. An appeal is made that the Democrats of Chesterfield County 1 send in their dollars to Treasurer C. C. Douglass at once.

Sellers rola- |u , tive to th-' condition of the Poor 01 House? * c, The writer was chairman of the tl sub-commit ;e appointed by the jr. Foreman of the Grand Jury to in- C( spect the I 'or House and farm. We t.< found cone '.ions over there just a>; we reporte-i it, and I consider it a t.( 1 crime linfnr 1 Mio-V. 14.......... tl--? ?1- - - jivut v.-ii liiul ii1vj f. unfortunati i who have to accept alms from the | ublic are forced to live |)( under such onditions as we found at the Poor 11. use On September 27th. (), The official who have charge of the tv Poor House leserve the severest orili- | cism for their neglect. y We found the bedding and premises disgust ngly filthy and foul. It ti would have been impossible to clean w the bed clothes and put them in a half .,] presentable condition. We found j,, other thin} thcya that we cannot p| mention in print that showed an ut- j.j ter disregar 1 for the health of the poor unfortunate inmates. I The oflicirIs, after the report of the (Jrand Jury wasj made, got busy, bought some new bedding and did a ](J little cleaning up, and then invited Mr. Sam J. Sellers to inspect the Poor llou _ arid give the lie to the Grand Jury and bring their report into di -.credit with the public. Mr. Sellers according to his report found every'hing just as it should bo except that a few Bibles shou'd be > given the i: mates. The bed clothes I were clean and sanitary according to j him and the inmates seemed to bo j content and happy, well fed and pros- | perous, all of which was in direct i conflict with the ftiport made by the j Grand Jury of Chesterfield County. ' Mr. Sellers sayi he was invited by j nnn af tvws ^'ah^ ^ this inspection and he did not know j at the time the Grand Jury had made | any report, lie was out of his place, ; and it does seem that a man of ordi- | nary intelligence would suspect some- I thing when he was asked to do as un- I usual a thing as"-^ make an inspec- i tion of the County Poor House, and j he nothing more than a private citi- i zen. As to the Official who had all ? this done in order to discredit the re- f port made by the Grand Jury, the | least that can be said is that he is in j contempt of a co-ordinate branch of i the Court of General Sessions of f Chesterfield County. Any report that ! conditions at the Poor Hiuse were j not as the Grand Jury reported them f on September 27th is absolutely false f regardless of the source from which i it emanates. j II. M. Odom, .

RIDERS AND GIN BURNERS j For the past week tales of notices f | stuck up on cotton gins in all parts ! of Chesterfield County have been cir- | culating freely. According to the i tales no gin in the county has es- j caned. Everv irin is said to have been i posted with a sign, in some cases j written in blood and attached to the f gin with a match, notifying the owner I to shut down until higher prices for j cotton arc attained, or take the con- i sequences, which the match would | imply, meant burning. It was report- j erl that sum" gins had already been j J burned and that others had stopped I operations and hud returned ungin-' f ned cotton to its owners. The climax j j was reached Wednesday morning | when a farmer from a remote corner j of the county arrived at Chesterfield , and expressed surprise that the gins f were running. It had been reported in I his neighborhood that all gins in and | near Chesterfield had either been j destroyed or the owners had shut j down in fear and trembling. Telephonic communication with j gins throughout the county found ' ! them all running to full capacity and j no one had received a warning. No ' j one could be found who had seen such ' j a warning.
