No Decent Man Can Follow Spencer Adams in 1908
A regional political screed recalls the 1898 reign of terror in North Carolina under Republican leadership. It condemns Judge Spencer B. Adams for an infamous 1898 grand jury charge and attacks the 1908 GOP for elevating him as state party chairman. The piece urges voters to reject Adams’s allies and warns that the current party resembles the old radical regime. It also touches on broader political factions, trust influence, and a local anecdote about circus crime.
