Mr. Clark in Defense of His legislative Record Three or Four Other Measures in Which He Figured i ; at the Past Legislature. If i tie mu.-t how to what is wrong, and submit to that arc unjust and true; a silence that has been turns to a bronze altar sacrifice, and self restraint becomes but a scorn on truth, honor and right. It is not from choice that I now a silence that I have tried hard to maintain through this political year. there is no other alternative, for to remain silent is but to those accusations which do resent have tried to keep out of politics, and now ask no office within the gift of people, but I do request In the name fairness, that the people learn for themselves the true facts and reply not on the perfidy of a would-be boss and dictator. The Stock Law Question On this question my reply to the many charges, is simply that I kept. promises and gave to the people a law under which an election could be lulled and or stock settled by a majority of. the people. Under my bill there were I no limitations and the Commissioners could have levied a sufficient tax put the fence back to the old line where it originally stood, it could now be rebuilt and that section en- joy n peace and harmony, but for the fact that Senator Evans at close of tin- session, another which limited the tax which the could levy to ten on the one hundred dollars valuation Of property and thirty cents on the i poll. The raised under this limited levy will o put back very little of the fence. I cast no as- upon the Senator, nor do I Question his motives in thus destroy- the bill by placing such upon it, but I cannot under- stand why one who had for so long been i for relief, should fully destroy that relief when it was brought before him. and then turn, upon his deliverer and try to falsely place the blame on him. I Lave been severely for having voted for the months school and In reply I say to all, that am proud of my votes on these questions., and am also proud of the efforts I made in behalf of the Training School, in which the Senator did not assist me, but I am proudest of all of my victory in preventing the Senator the poor man's friend i from pass- a law which would have taken out Of the public school fund or a month of school from the try children who are not able to pas- tor their tuition or come to Green- ville and attend the town's graded school with the Senator's This goes to the rural schools and not those kept up by the towns of th county, yet Senator Evans on two occasions tried to pass a law that would have each year this sum In taxes out of the public School fund. The Laws. As to these laws have been ed with the people bond Issue which they did not want. My reply to accusation Is that introduced any bond did not require a majority of the people for its adoption. When a by long petitions to be allowed to vote on bonds, I passed their bills through the House, for I did not self constitute their nor pretend to say that I know bitter what a people of t town- ship wanted than a majority of those expressed by ballot. Can the Senator say that he give to the people any such privileges or that he did not defeat their bills asking only for on bonds. It s true I am a town man and was born and reared within the corporate limits of towns, but when I behold the discrimination and injustice in a law that the country man work six days to the year on the pub- reds In addition to paying a road tax. and exempts the town man from such duty. I am constrained to repeal such a law. Yet at every effort I made to remedy this Intolerable con- by passing a repeal bill through the House. I was opposed by that great self-styled country born pion and lover of the country people, and my bills repealing this law were each time defeated In the Senate by him. How would the country between IS and years aid cast their votes on this proposition have never said women should be forced to vote any more than men are forced to vote, but t , y have privilege of voting they desire to do so. I cannot see the consistency In declaring against without and at the same time one half those who are taxed. There are millions of women In country being taxed, many of whom have never been married or are yet they are allowed no voice in the government that the tax. An woman in my Is far more capable of exercising the franchise than the ignorant who are lined up and told how to vote by the Inflaming who no interest at heart save the I of himself in power. If my on this question is the i government in the hands of , then I plead guilty to the I charge. i Destruction of the Tobacco In- if bill which provided that any county In the state could accept or r a majority of its voters, a measure which would prohibit the re- tail of cigarettes is the destruction of the great tobacco industry, then I must say the tobacco Industry is much weaker than I ever thought it to be. There Is no one who loves Pitt county better, or would do more for the great friend, the tobacco industry than I. and I do not believe cigarettes are very harmful to men, but I do be- they dwarf young boys both men tally and physically. It was solely for the protection of the states future men, that introduced the bill. How- ever, regardless of my private ion. I bowed to the will of my con- when realize that my was against me. for the ma- of the committee voted against the till I bail a minority report and could have carried the till to the floor of the House where there were members who hail promised to in favor of it. and some twenty or thirty who had promised to vote for it.

European War to hurt the farmers Spice prevents my replying further, more fully at this time to the nu- charges leveled at me, but I say here and now that I ask for no office, yet if the people in any section of the county are sufficiently to give me an audience.
