Mr. Editor Il see several communicat ons
admire him as much as any one, but | fear 1T
would be DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT TO nomi-
nate an absentee at this time The why foe

Sept. 3rd 1883.
Messs. Editors We are astounded to hear
that the cry is being raised against Mr.. Echols
that he is the candidate of the W Risky Ring
Truly he is q strange selection: A man who
neuer took drink in his life the standard bear
er of the liquor men The idea is preposterous
The facts are that MIR. Echos, q man who does
not know the taste of whisky, and has done
more to break up the Illegal selling of liquor
other ATTORNEY
had, was induced to announce himself as a
candidate by man Capt. Geo. M. Cochran)
who is an absolutely temperate man. Mol
There are people who are DESTROYS of defeating
Mr.. Echols on far different grounds, grounds
which will not bear the light, and they are
making use Of the mereSt preteSt TO accom-
plish their object and conceai their motive
Mr.. EchOlS is not the tool of any ring. He is
above it. He will be the representative of the
whole people of Augusta VoX PoPULI.
To THE DEMOCRATS OF AUGUSTA COUNTY:
hereby announce myself a candidate for
the next HOUSE OF DELEGATES from the
