Primary Election.

The primary election vas held in this county
last Thursday aud the result will be found olsc.
where in our columns. The vote was small and
the election quiet, no excitement or feeling he
ing manifested Our list Of candidates COM
priscd good and true men, among whom many
found it difficult, il not unpleasant TO distinguish
This perhaps, rs nlso the busy season of the
year, tended largely TO reduce the vote pollcd.
The general election, 10 bt held in Noyembcr
will bo different thing aud We will then be
called upon 10 choose the officers, who will CON
troll the interests Of the county and State for the
next two years. 1t becomes the duty of every
registered voter in the county to go to the polls
and vote. 1t is matter Of personal interest 10
every citizen then TO vote and in doing so TO
vote judiciously, without passion or prejudice
We arc all interested in low taxes and honest
government, in the promotion Of education and
the introduction of capital AMI lnbor into the
State. We can neither have nor hope to have
any of these unless our government be stable
and wisely administered. The ballot is The
peaceful method to attain this end, and its in
tclligent and patriotic use is cnjoincd on all,
both for their own and their country's welfare
As we have often said, the ballot is the shield,
in Republican government, to protect us from
unwise legislation and from incompetent officers,
as it is tho sword to cut off oppressive laws,
when thoy happen to be passed. Outside Of
revolution it is the only safeguard to people,
and the wise use Of the ballot is sure TO bring
its reward in general prosperity.
We nrc sorry to note that our clubs which
polled over 1900 in 1876 and 1880 should have
80 lost their interest TO poll less than 200 in
1882. This number is lttlo short Of one half
tho registered voters Of The county. While this
is true we feel sure the Democratic party in No
vember will approximate, if moi maintain, its old
majority, and that the State and county ticket
will be elected. 1t depends largely on tho pco-
pie, and We hope every citizen will realize both
the Importance and the general interest TO the
county Of working to this end. 1t takes but
part Of one day TO perform this highest duty Of
citizen and to neglect it might bring defeat
and years OF high taxes on our pcoplo.

candidates for State Offices were men who
had been prominent in tho rapino party Of
1874 ind 1875. IL ,bore was not contract
or sympathy between these parties. Why
should tho Greenback party, with all it's
b'asted honesty, invade tho ranks Of tho
Radical party for candidates rather than the
Democratic apartSS Aud if thoro is not o
sympathy. Why is 1t that the Radical con-
,vention SO unanimously and with 80 littlo
discussion endorsed tho Grecnback ticket2
Further, it was said that they agreed to di-
vide comfy Offices and members Of tho
General Assembly with the Rndical party and
appearances speak volumos for tho tru:h Of
it. In the upper country or tho counties
that hnrc white mojoritics tho Greenbackers
havo made nominations and tho Republicans
support them, and iE the lower counties
where tho blacks have tho majority. they
both run tickets. How does this look2 1t
seems that they arc willing to run two tickets
whero it might rebound to Radical advan-
tagc, but not whore it is probable that it will
insure white victory. In candor does it not
look like they prefer Radical success, with
all its rapine2 Why do they 80 prefer
Radical victory Because it is for their
contracted mutual benefit; because their
interest and purpose are tho same. Further,
why is it that Russell, McLano & Co. 80
aniringly abuse the Democratic party and so
studiously avoid comment upon tho Radical
party? leave your reader to draw his own
conclusion. Now | think they arc proved to
all candid minds to 90 ono and the same, and
ask your readers if it is not just to judge a
tree by its fruits? Is it unjust to judge this
party by its past conduct If man steals
your purse you arc not apt to send him to
your money drawer. If n party has boon so
infamous in tho past have you any assurance
that they will not bo the same in the future?
Can wo afford to change our honest govern
mcnt for one that has been SO notoriously
thicvish so recently in the past? Why do
they say you ought to vote for this hulf>brecd
ticket? Because the Democrats passed
fence or liquor law and they think by work"
ing on our prcjndiccs to inaugurate them
selves into power. Now if the Grccubackcrs
should carry the Stntc who would likely in
nucncc them in the administration Of State
tho good white men who vote soldly against
them or the blacks who voto for them? Is
there an intelligent man in Oconeo County
who would hesitate to Gust his vote for Col.
Hugh S. Thompson. whose character is spot,
less, in preference to tho Grccnback candidate
who thinks that nll the colonies wcro settled
on the Pacific coast? Then why should we
not support the white mans ticket? Strib-
ling and Mason, with their unarnshcd
characters, arc good enough ior me. They
are tho choice Of tho intelligent people of
Oconcc, and my friends, ono and all, let us
80 for good government and intelligent mcn.

Industrial Progress.

Considering the exhausted and Impoverished
condition of our country at Tho close Of the late
war our progress in every industry, in home
comforts, in education and religion, has been
wonderful. Broken in spirit and fortune our
soldiers returned to their dcsolatc homes under
circumstances not calculated to stimulate them
to labor. They saw the fruits Of ccntury's
labor swept away, many Of their friends and
relations dead. the living almost starving, and
under this gloom they began tho work of rccu-
peration. What has been accomplished much
of 1t under government so corrupt and opprcs
slye as TO have destroyed tho energy Of almost
any man, can be seen on every high way and
by path in the county.
Go where we may and VIC SEQ comfortable
framed churches have taken the place Of diiapi-
dated log buildings, whc good school houses
have been put up in many sections. where the
blessings of education are dispensed to the rs-
ing generation. We have, too, our colleges, our
railroad towns, and our increased trade as cvi-
dencee Of deeper interest on The part of tho
people in education, rs well rs of o general
thrift.
The highest evidence Of our sure develop
menb is seon in our homo comforts, farm con-
vencnces and tho increased products of our Ia
boy. All through this and Pickcns counties
handsome residences and good out buildings
have been erected on our farms. while about
such farms we sec in the flower yards the presence
of refinement among our wives and daughters.
These speak volumes for our people and show
what this country is destined TO become. Tho
products of our farms and conyencnccs about
them for stook as wei! as our improved system

expect to see this become new source of

ociyipg attention which increases annually. In
fact In the face Of all the adverse circumstances
our ptoplebaye hadto contend with since tho
war tho county of to-day bears no resemblance
to tho county Of ten years ago. With the con-
tinuance ofgood government this progress in
wealth will continue with an increasing ratio,
until we may reasonably expect 10 equal if not
excel any county of equal area in the State.
