prohibition, and the great victory of
1900 majority in the County is
owing to his vote, and as victory
seems assured in the fall, it. is no
more than right that the negro
should have a place on the ticket
for bis faithful services in the past.
The negro votes the ticket as a
Democrat drinks corn juice
straight. New if he must change
through sheer policy, and for the
benefit Of the party, and vote for
coalition, he must have some sub
stantial evidences that the party
means business, and not mere wind.
And he will not vote blindly-he
has got his eyes open, as Grey says.
So sure are some of the coalitioners
Of victory, that they have already
selected places for themselves and
friends on the County ticket, but
never a word to the negro what
place he shall have, expecting, as
they do, to be placed there by negro
votes, is any colored voter too blind
to see it. They are working on the
same principal as the negro and the
white man who went hunting in
partnership. IThe result of the days
hunt was buzzard and a turkey.
|"Well," said the white man, "Sam,
you take the buzzard and III take
turkey, or I'll take the turkey and
| you take buzzard." "Look heah,
boss" said Sam, "you nebber tur.
key to me marry time" This states
the case exactly, while the ticket is
being made up and Offices being
divided, the eolored voter stands
with his hat of, but "dey nebber
say turkey marry time" He may
be made to eat buzzard, but like
Bill Toats, "he1l derned eff he has a
laundering arter it."
Now it is claimed by some So
called colored leaders, that it is not
policy to place colored men on the
ticket, that it will drive off good Re.
publicans and blast our hopes Of
victory. By whose votes win vic
tory be made possible this fall, if NOT
the negroes? Who stands the blunt
'of '5s;tie. Inc negro aon I scrascn
tickets; he votes the Republican
ticket every time.
There is a class of colored and
white Republicans who style them
selves leaders, who claim that to
place negro on the ticket is to in
vite defeat, and all such moves are
instigated by Democrats to defeat
the Republican party. Such men
men are not to be trusted, as these
same men have followed a policy by
which the Republican party has not
gained single victory since they
have had charge. Their very in
competeney.is shown in every move
they have made. They have never
suggested an intelligent idea in the
management of County politics
worth hearing. Therefore, colored
men, think for yourselves, and do
not be led astray by men who have
neither the ability nor the desire to
do you any good whatever.
Now we claim only q small place
on the ticket-something like Reg
lister of Deeds, a member Of the
Legislature, and Constable, viii do
just now. We must have something.
This is big County, and there are
a geat many good cOlored Republi-
cans in it who intend to be repre-
scented on that ticket, or there will
be q fuss in the camp. We intend
to push it till the convention meets,
and we intend to have il. Every
colored man wants ii, and all are
with us. So rally round the flag,

Putting Young Fellow in an Awfully
PerpleKing Predicament.

One of our young clerks last Sunday
night bought cut-glass bottle of CO.
logne, with glass stopper and pink rib
bon, to present to young lady he is
keeping company with but, on reach
ing the house he felt a little embarras-
sed for fear there were members of the
family present, and so left the beautiful
gift on the stoop and passed in. The
movement was perceived by gracelcss
brother of the young lady. who appro-
priated the cologne for his own use and
retilled the bottle with hartshorn from
the family jar, and then hung around
to observe the result
In little while the young man slip
ped out to the stoop, and securing the
splendid gift, slipped back again into
the parlor, where with afew appropriate
words he pressed it upon the blushing
girl. Like the good and faithful daugh-
ter that she was, she at once hurried
into the presence of her mother, and
the old lady was charmed They didn't
put up scent stuff like that when she
was GIRL it was kept in china tea
cup, and it was held together by sam
pies of the family's hair,
She was very much pleased with it,
She drew out the stopper, laid tho
beautiful petals of her nostrils over the
aperture, and fetched a pull at the con-
tants that fairly made them bubble.
Then she laid the bottle down, and
picking up a brass-mounted fire shovel
instead, said, as soon as she could say
anything;

And then she gave him one on the

quent with his legs than his tongue,
fastened from thence, bowling like
mad and accompanied to the gate by
