TO WORK! TO WORK.
Awake and to horse, my brothers
For the dawn is giimmeriug gray.


In this county the campaign is in full
blast. AS the time is short, meetings have
been appointed by both parties in all parts
of the county to follow in quick succession,
and therefore in that respect we may ex-
pect the campaign to be lively one. Thus
far our party has done well, better than
we expected, but not better than We hoped.
Our primary elections called out an I'M
wonted display of voters, and full delega-
tions represented every district in the
nominating Convention. AS might have
been expected under such circumstances,
that Convention has presented for the
sutfrages of the people a ticket which we
believe to be unexceptionable- least we
have not been able to hear oe single add
verse criticism, but on the contrary on all
sides we hear universal and most hearty
appreciation. Indeed, such is the charac-
ter of our nominees, that several who two
years ago left our party and voted with
the opposition have proclaimed their pur-
pose not only to vote our ticket this time
but to use every honorable effort to pro-
mote its success. Thus then our work
has been well done so far-for we have an
unobjectionable ticket and an united party
to sustain it, This is much gained, but
much more remains to be done. It is all
we'll enough to have meetings and to have
them we'll attended. These add much to
the party strength, by mutual encourage
ment and instruction and should by all
means be extensively patronized. Men
who are confirmed in the faith should not
only go themselves but make it point to
induce some one less strong than themsel-
YES to ~keSna, in order that converts may
be made. This we say is important and
should by no means be neglected. But
there are other things to be done of more
Importance than even this-and that is to
so arrange it as to get out our full vote on
the day of election. To do this, organiza
ton is necessary, and there should be no
delay about it. A Committee of five for
each election district was appointed by
the Convention to attend to this and
kindred subjects. This Committee should
set to work at once and block each dis
trict Let them make out list of every
voter in the district-fnd out those who
are not able to attend the election and
make the necessary arrangements to remove
the disability. If any are doubtful or
disinclined see them remove their doubts
and spur their inclination. This is the
sort of work to devote yourself to from
now to the day of election. But to do
this thoroughly you must oRGANIzE-OR-
CAME! If your Committee of five is
not enough, enlist ten, twenty or fifty if
necessary to do the work properly, because
if worth doing at all, it is worth doing
properly. Between this issue of the Times
and the day of election there are but twelve
working days! The time is short, to be
sure, but it is long enough to save the
county Rally then, men of Charles coun-
ty! and devote the few remaining days to
one grand effort, to which all your ener
gies shall be given to the redemption of
the county from Radical misrule, whether
it be under the form of Federal bayonets,
negro domination, KnowNothing pro-
scription, or the specious one of Reform
combining as it does, all these iniquities.
