The tim; Ggr anothe: State ;n! Fedc.
raj election has arrived, and Oh next
Tuesday ,hc voters Of South Carolina
will be called upon to express their SOW
crcign will as to whether the Democratic
party shall continue to govern this State
or whether mongrcl organization OF
malcnntcnt office hunters and negro Re
publicans shall be entrusted with Lhit
important duty; and also to decide
whether South Carolina will contribute
her voice in the National Congress tt
the establishment of Democratic su
prcmncy there, or will she, as the people
of Ohio, New York aud Pennsylvania
arc throwing off the tyranny aud corrup
ton of Rcpublcanism, be found sending
representatives to check this wave Of re.
form in Federal politics. The answer to
these questions is Of course in doubt
from the fact that Il crowd of ignorant
if not vicious, voters exceed the intelli-
gent and property holding class of our
citizens. They vote the ticke. opposed
to good government, by whatever name
II il termed. Their success can only be
avcr,ed by intelligent, earnest and dill.
gent work. With this work the result
is safe for good government, and without
it, the result is equally certain 10 be in

which is now at hand. the people of An.
derson County are called upon to take a
part, and our friends all over the State
are expecting that we shall do our whole
duty. Tho vote Of Anderson County
may decide the result Of tho State cleo
ton, and Of the election for II member OF
Congress. The election will occupy but
one day. 1t will not come again for two
years. 1t is therefore the duty of every
citizen to 60 to the polls, and not only
vote, but work to make the vote Of this
stronghold of Democracy NJ large as
possible. Every vote will be needed, ard
tho consequences depending upon this
afford to devote one day to the service of
our country.
The saving to Anderson County in
four years Of Democratic rule has been
s75,1o0 ever the !est Gcn- years Of Rsd:
calism. This is more than twenty dol
lars for every white voter in the County.
1t proves TINT Democratic government
saves, on an average, five dollars year
to every voter in this County, aud where
the man owns much property it's more
than this. In addition to this it has
given usipeace and security, aud is adding
year by year to the material development
Of our country. Our property has in
creased in value, and prosperity is once
again dawning on the State. We cannot,
we must not, allow these blessings to be
taken from US. Duty to our State, duty
10 ouT families, au:J &c 0u7sei'7es aud
duty to posterity, demand that we con-
tinue these blessings for South Narolina.
The reputation Of Anderson County re.
quires that we shall give handsome
Democratic majority this year. We must
go to work and do it. Thereforewe we urge
every man in the County to lay aside his
business on the seventh and devote the
day to working for the Democratic party.
Go early to the polls and stay until the
victory, and grand one, is achieved.
Work to secure full vote. Induce your
neighbors to 60 to the polls, and persuade
the colored voters to go with you for the
maintenance of good government. 1t
will be too late to work after the election
is over. The die will be cast on next
Tuesday. If you ever intend to help
your State and your County do it then,
and in future days you will feel the just
pride of personal interest in the tri.
umph Of goo5 over evil, Of intelligence
over ignorance, Of virtue over vice, of
honesty over corruption. Men of An.
derson, your reputation is at stake Do
not, for little personal advantage of do
ing little work on your farms or in your
houses of business, peril you State. Give
u, one day of your time and work for our
cause. Remember your glorious work in
1876, and initiate it now. The necessity
Is as great now as 1t was at that time.
Then let us be up and doing, that our
proud position may not be exchanged for
an humber seat, and that disaster may
not overtake us and our State.
