the most disgraseful and shameful
elections evei-held in our town, oc-

time has come when good, honest,
upright and industrious citizens are
forced to submit to this manner OF
conducting elections, we think the
laws of our country are a nuisance

the class referred to, has so com

and humiliated the good people of
our town that we overheard several
of our staunchest citizens say that
they would not go near the polls
We have large class of worthless,
drunken negroes inhabiting this
town, and few illiterate whites
that are no better, and if there is
any way to rid the community OF
them, we should do it, We are
finding no fault with the bcttcr
class of colored citizens who work
for livelihood, but refer to the
worthless, lazy set, who never work
and have become vagabonds and
Migrants and q pest to society; they
beg from our people and steal from
their cighbors, to keep soul and
b. ~ together These fellows will
not work when employment is of
ed them. There is no necessity
for an idle man in this town, for ull
can get work, who want it. We
will say right here, if our vagran-
cy law is not enforced, and these
Migrants routed from our town or
made to- labor for their bread, we
will extend very cordial invita-

they arrive and get in their work,
we will tender them reception
