TO THE VOTERS.
SiDce the numbering of county
S-crip is hurting the hankers and
the Augusta ring to such an ex
tent as to make them howl and
snort, we will more clearly ex
plain our position.
In the first place, we are in
favor of doing away with the
scrip system altogether, be
cause scrip is only a substitute
for money and the time ought to
be here when the county can use
primary money and will not have
to be on the credit system. But
as long as we are in debt, we are
compelled to use the credit sys
tem.
The opposition to my theory
says that the bankers and scrip
speculators are in favor of num
bering scrip. Who is the oppo
sition? Mr. Eldridge, the ring
candidate of Augusta, was the
first one to mention this and
charged me (Kramer) of work
ing for the interest of the scrip
speculators. This is squint-eyed,
consumptive hypocricy of the
foulest order. |
For argument sake, suppose I
were -working for the interest of:
the banks and scrips speculators. »
Do you suppose I would advocate
a thin theory that I knew people
could not believe? No! If myi
heart were as rotten and my
conscience as s'imy with hypoc-1
riey as those of my opponents, I
would make a clean fight before
the people and then in the next
legislature do my dirty work.
I have never allowed environ
ments of any ring or any clique
to dictate to me. I simply advo-1
cate what 1 know is for the good j
of my people.
Missouri has this law upon her
statute book and all the eastern
states numbered their scrip!
until they got on a money basis j
and abandoned the scrip sys- j
tern.
I have been laboring under the
impression that John Eldridge,
the ring candidate, and William
Penrose, the populite, were my!
' opponents, but evidently the1
head-boss of the Augusta ring,;
who himself declares that he has
belonged to that ring for thirty
years, thinks that Johnny is not,
an ample sufficiency to cope |
I with so formal an advarsary as :
! myself. Consequently, he leaves '
his judge’s race and spends a;
great deal of his time and soph
istry in trying to convince the
people that I am working for
I the bankers, the scrip specula
j tors. Who is this royal highness,
that sees so much viciousness in
numbering of scrip? He is
president of the Bank of Augus
ta and stock holder in two banks.
This numbering of scrip, he
says comes from a crack-sculled,
brainless demagogue. Why does
i he so bitterly oppose it? Because
| it deals with his pocket book and
! cuts off some of the speculations
of his bank.
How about our ringster, Mr.
Eldridge? Ah! He too is a stock j
holder in the bank. It strikes a j
death-blow at part of their i
schemes of making moi.ey and j
| has for its ends the peoples’j
! rights.
Our populistic opponent is op
posed to it. He is said to be a
brainy man and a philosopher.
Lot us see! He says Kramer ad
vances this theory for the inter
est of the speculators, fie goes
about his sophistry in a very
plausible manner. He says,
suppose now that Kramer is
elected and this $40,000.00 for
j the court houses is issued in
j numbered scrip, then the wit
| ness or juror that serves his
j country and obtains his script)
after the amount is issued will j
have to wait perhaps years, at!
least until the $40,000.00 is paid.
This looks plausible, but let us
look behind the curtain. If this
$40,000.00 of script is issued at
all, it will be issued during this
year. When does our next legis
lature meet? Next year. Then,
how on earth could I, as your
representative pass this law to
eil'ect the $40,000.00? No way
on earth. There never was a
retrospective law and never will
be. It is undemocratic. Upon
our populistic Penrose’s theory,
we could pass a law prohibiting
Adam and Eve from eating of
the forbidden fruit and prose
cute their ashes. You at once
see our mighty populist, the
philosopher and logician is de
ceiving the people with his sophis
try.

Now to the plain story of the
numbering of scrip. This is
the people’s law. In the first
place, we wish to say that the
numbering of scrip will not take
away one iota of the use that the
people make of it. You can pay
your taxes with it just the same.
If you can’t hold it there will al
ways be a market for it. IIow
does every farmer like the turn
system used at the mill when he
goes to have his grinding done?
Everyone considers it fair. First
come, first served. So it is with
the scrip. Number one indi
cates that it will be paid before
number two. No matter where
you live. Whether you be a
millionaire or a farmer; whether
you live in town or country. It
is but a plain, simple business
proposition. It concerns the
people. The people can use the
scrip when numbered preaisely
as they do now. Taxes and tines
can be paid as readily as now
and the holder can sell same ifj
he desires, If he wishes to hold :
his scrip he can do so and no'
man can get his scrip cashed
before he, if it is his turn. This
is plain and nothing but the
truth.

A Printer Orcatly Surprised.
“I never was so much surpris
ed in my life, as I was with the
results of using Chamberlain's
Pain Balm,” says Henry T. I
Ci’ook, pressman of the Ashville i
(N. C.) Gazette. “I contracted a
severe case of rheumatism early |
last winter by getting my feet
wet. I tried several things for
it without benefit. One day while
looking over the Gazette, I notic
ed that Pain Balm wars positively
guaranteed to cure rheumatism,
so bought a bottle of it and be
fore using two thirds of it my
rheumatism had taken its flight
and I have not had a rheumatic
pain since. Sold by Dr. Neal of
MeCrory and A. S. Thompson of
DeView, Arkansas.
