Russell WILL not Get q CorporaPs Guard
Vote.

K Russell, we understand, boasts that be
can carry q majority of the votes in
iPickens county and even more in Oconee,
This is "a big; boast and We are at loss
to know. on what he bases his presump-
ton. Recently when Russell and Bryce
were in Washington trying to further
the interest of their respective fayorites
it was remarked that it was case of spot
and kettle calling each other black" "A
good Democrat. who knows both men
well, remarked: "Of the two, give me
Bryce, for he has: been with his party
longer, and therefore I have more conf.
dence in him.
4 We would soy, in reply to arequest a
from the ANDERSON lNTELL1GENCER,
that w. w. Russell will not head q
corporal's guard of voters, white or col
ored, in Oconee in the race for Congress.
he may pose in Washington as cham
ipion.of the rights of the negroes, but here
they know his past history nthis County
and therefore will not trust him.. He
will not eucceed Colonel Cothran, no
no matter what disafections may arise in
any party.-Seneca Free Press.
Toe ANDERSON INrELL1GENcER, in
speaking of w. W. Russell last week.
said "He said in a conversation with q
county official not long since, that he
already had majority of the votes Of
Pickens county pledged to him, and that
he would get 8 larger vote in Oconee
than in Pickens." Such q statement aa
that has not the least foundation, and
since w. W.. Russell has allowed his
self.conceis, vivid dreams, and night.
mares to trot him into such conclusion,
we hasten to make the correction that he
will neither get majority nor even so
much "as minority" of the votes in
Pickens county. The General, however
wide he may imagine his field of admir-.
ers and followers, not being politically
known in Pickens County, not one, ]
ween, would 60 forth to the polls to cast
vote for the sanguine Walker.
The 1NTELLIGENCER went on to say !:
'"We would like to hear from the Pictens
and Oconee papers as to the truth of these
declarations" We are sorry to see that
our neighbor would question the princi-
pies of our patriotic people. Why ask
such question, brother, have we not let
our lightso shine that you aeeing our
works may be convinced that We are not
so charmed with the Generals beauty and
and brillisncy as to support him and his
:benighted cause. Picsens county ia not
yet ready to support men who are trai.
tors to true aud noble manhood, and to
the enobling principles of their own
country! If Walker Russell can't be
content with the postmasterahip of An.
derson city, he need not come to PickeDs
County mastering up his "many ~
voters, !" for they are not here, when he
aspires to Congressional honors. How
ever, we are very much inclined to be-
lieve that w. w. Russell does not amount
to much in South Carolina, or anywhere
else, and We do not. care to dscuss him,
from the fact that we have not the time
to spend on the nothings that infest the
political atmosphere, but we must turn
our attention to the things that amount
to something, and most interest the com.
monwealth, and hurry on with the true
and the noble.-Easley Messenger.
