The time is fast approaching, when
you are to cast your suffragcs for the
men who are to hold the destinies CT
the State in their hands. Have you
been up and. doing all you should have
done to relieve the State from the rule
Of the men who have so basely mlsuscd
the rover they had usurped? Can you
boast that you have done all you should !?
IF you feel on reflection, that you have
not, let me urge you by all hopes of the
future we'll being of yourselves and your
descendants, to buckle on your armour,
and 90 forth into the highways Of the
land, and urge upon all to come to the
help Of their old mother in her day of
trbulation. Remember "that those
who would be free themselves, must
strike the blow"-if you supinely rest
from all labor and suffer the ghouls to
continue their sway, the chains may be
fastened upon you and your children
for years, and the mother who nursed
you in your early days, will have. good
cause to regret her fostering care.
One sholt week is all that remains
for YOU to work-within that time the
fate of the State for veal or for woe
will be decided. Il:

to be 81 900, 900; for County purposes

ports to be taken from the Auditor S

that report VIC find that the total taxes

sued prior to the Inauguration of the
present government. Governor Scott
in his message to the Republican Le-
gislaturc OF 1868, reports the number
at 100000.
Here is mistake of Sl40,000. Look
a little closer at this. The address de-
clares that Gin July 1868, these bills
receivable were worth sirty cents on

Mr.. EBEN HAYs.-W We think the
most influential man that joined the
Republican party, two years ago in this
district, was Mr.. Eben Hays. He car
ried more votes to the radicals, and did
more to de'ea! the conservatives, than
any other white man they had. We
arc glad to announce that Mr.. Hays has
abandoned the Scott party, and will go
with all his might for the Reformers.
On Saturday last, at Berry's, he prcsid
ed over a Reform meeting, and said that
while member of the last legislature,
in Columbia, he saw such corruptions
as satisfied him that they would, if not
checked, bring the State to bankruptcy.
We are glad to chronicle his adhesion

The Last Opportunity.

This is our last opportunity before
the election, to press upon our readers,
the vast Importance of this crisis, and
of the necessity that they should do
their duty in this matter.
There are two classes of persons to
whom we will address our remarks: l.,
Those who understand the questions at
issue. 2. Those who dO not understand
them. .
We say to those who do understand
the issue, that this is the time when
you should come forward to the re-
demption Of our State from misrule,
cxtravagauce and oppressive taxation.
Those who own property, know full
we'll that their taxes are nearly three
times what they used to be; they know
that they are refused representation in
the Legislature; that the State is not
prosperous; that the State debt has
been enormously increased; that to meet
that increase, taxation has increased !;
that in consequence, people are falling
to meet their taxes, and vast quantities
of land is being sold to pay them ; they
know that the necessity for a change in
the administration OF the affairs of State.
The ouly way to secure this change is
to cast your ballots in favor of those
whose watchwords are Honesty, Re-
trcnchment and Reform. Sec Mat you
do IL.
To those who do not understand the
issues, We say that you should not vote
at all. Suppose that man was to pro-
pose two means Of becoming rich, and
that you did not comprehend either
plan, would you invest your money in
either? Certainly not, or if you did,
you would most surely go in for the one
which seemed to you best.
Now tits the same thing with the ques-
ton now at issue. If Scott and his
party promise you to reduce taxation,
to economize expenditures and give us
ALA fair government, then take them
upand vote for them. But have they done
so? On the contrary, they tell you that
they propose to make no change in their
administration, that the State is SC
chonply governed and SO prosperous,
that they cannot change it.
You know that this is falsc-you
know that they have deceived you in the
fulfllmcnt of their promises, and that
today, the State is bankrupt by theil
Legislation. The Union Reform Party
promise to reduce taxes, TO cconomize
expenditures and have an honest gov
ernment. Ofthe two, then, choose The
latter, if that to your judgment is bet
ter calculated to promote your Interest
and the prosperity ofthe State. Blu
if you cannot commend this to your
judgment, then touch not the question
at aN.-
