Letter from .Ridgeway.

Mr.. Editor:
While the merchants Gre anticipat.
ing brisk trade this fall and the
Planters are called from Labor to
.refresh hmonts to discuss Politics,
will endeavor to give you few notes
of the times III our vicinity. The
Legislature. seems to be the place
for the hungry, therefore we have
several ,a>pirants. for that grab.
Among the many I will mention the
Rev Mr.. Allen Deltou (colorcdl who
beats MI the rest in the way of prom
iscs, of which one is worthy Of note that
if elected he will abolish the Lien
SYSTEM and loan all of his constituents
money alta very low interest. If
nothing olse; l think that promise
IL sufficient to cohvince every voter
in the county who knows Mr.. Belton
that he is not the Messiah yet to re-
deem the state from its downward
course. Now as an advocate of hor-
est government | think It my duty to
give your readers some idea of the
man of such promise. lie can hardly
buy a gingcr-cake, and pays nothing
but poll tax. do not condemn him
because he is poor or on account of
his color, but the ubsurdity Of such
promise frCm one IN such circumstan-
ces causes me to hopo that tho voters
of this county will convince him that
that they are not dupes by not giving
him a single vote.

This assertion has been repeated by

This assertion, as far as wo arc
concerned is false. We bitterly de-
nouncod Mosos, when these samo

Mr. E,l1cr.
Permit nc through your columns
to reply to il recent letter addressed
to me through >oar paper by "Many
Colorcd Voters" in which they ask
the use Of my rame as a candidate
for tho Legislature. This letter
concludes as follows
"Wc believe that if you ere elect
cd you wculd lcgislate fairly and
justly for the good Of all, without re-
gard 10 race or color.
believing all this, and wishing to
act i'll spirit of friendship and har-

power to put down bitter aud un-

While do not hesitate to express to
tLcse colorcd citizens my sincere graf

tcrs' need hct BE- reminded that
there has teen no such expression in
my favor. While l reply as
above, ! beg to assure them that
| recognize in their letter not only a
compliment to myself, but a friendly
overture to the "honcst and good
white people fthis County, and one
which am sure will be. responded to
by them in an equally friendly spirit.
