ALBTTER FROM BOB.
The Bob Taylor Club Goes to Work With
a Will.

A called meeting of the Bob Tay-
Tor club Tuesday night brought out
a good number ofdemocrats to con-
slider what is best to be done 10 get
out the vote. It was stated that
Sow. Jno. G. Brown had been invi-
ted and would address the people of
Giles at date to be fixed. The
club was called to take such action
as would secure crowd and make
the occasion rally.
The prime purpose of the call was
TO institute means to secure active
work at the polls on election day.
The state committee recommended
early in the canvass that poll lists
of the democrats in all the districts
be prepared and that men be APP
pointed on election day to see that
every democrat on the list is there
to be prepared with horses and
vehicles to go alter absentees. The
county committee was called and
this suggestion pressed upon them
but they declined TO act. Since
then the state committee has he
come solicitous on account of Giles.
1t was known that Giles had a
large number of stay at-home dem
ocrats andi twas thought, by the way |
she received Bob Taylor, that she
was going to make the biggest per
cent. gain of any county in the
state and thus win the banner now
held by another county. When our
committee refused to do anything |
of course it dashed this hope |
Since then Col. Mcconnell has adj
dressed a circular letter to each |
member of the committee in Giles
urging them again to make organ
lied effort on election day in the
manner suggested, but it is not
probable that the committeeman
will do so, as they will not be call
ed together again for any purpose.
Col. Taylor himself takes great in
terest in the result. He got his
first big reception here and he was
so kindly received that he feels
warmly towards US and wants to
see Giles pol. her full vote. The
matter was laid before him and in
response he addressed the editor of
The CITIZEN thus:
Mr.. LAPS. d. MCCoRD Dear SIR
/ think it might contribute greatly to
the cause for the democrats of Giles to
rally as you propose and to raise pole
on that occasion. l have good reports
from Giles, sufficient to warrant me in
believing she has chance to win the
banner. Let every democrat be at the
polls. l expect to hear the voice of
1000 democrats in Giles on election day.
Very Truly, Your Friend,
RoB'T L. TAYLOR.
The Pulaski club discussed all
these matters fully and reaIizing
that the work rested largely upon
them they decided to take the mat
ter in hand and try to get the dem
ocrats in the districts to cooperate
with them on election day. DR.. c.
c. Alternately, Mr.. Ii. NJ. Grigsby !
and Hon. Jno. G. Lester were ap- {
pointed to select five men in each
district and to prepare a circular
letter to them begging them to take {
charge of their districts and to
warn in others of their friends who
will promise and agree to go to the ]
polls early and. help go after alb
,entees. These working democrats i
are also expected to work upon the {
,olored men, to show up the bad {
treatment they have had from their s
white brethren in Giles and urge ]
hem to quit associating with stran-
gers and enemies of the south and
all in with their neighbors and
trends end be a part of US here
Lfter. S
II is believed that we may yet re- {
rain the ground lost by the mac /
ion of the committee, if the demo /
rats who are selected by DR.. Aber e
lathy's committee will go into the I
work zealously and do it well. a
1t is claimed by some that we do q
lot need the votes particularly and
hat there is no necessity for work T
ng. so hard. Perhaps that is true, G
,ut we may need them, and Wheth t
II we do or not, let's hit the repub- I
lean snake such hard blow that O
1 will kill it for years to come. h
Others say that it is unwise to C
tir up democrats lest we stir up re- e
,ublicans more. This is ridiculous.
Everybody knows that all the re-
,ublicans always vote. We cannot
tir them up any more than they
re already stirred. Our people
iced stirring.
Some think it undIgnified to wor-
Y and hurrah so much. We beg
UGH dignified and superb gentlemen Z
o at least stand out of the way of
hose of us who want to hurrah and v
ot throw cold water on us. >
The work is we'll under Roadway IL
the men who are selected in .
be districts will consent to do as
sked. 1t is hoped that Giles will
e ahame with democratic fervor
efore then, Crops will be well
oused and people in good humor
nth the world because plenty and
prosperity are again abroad in the
and. Let's celebrate our deliver
nee from the throes of hard times
y a grand democratic jubilation
