The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1892-08-03

declaring such doctrines? You are e
sensible man, why will you rush to such
conclusions without any reasons for
them? Our interests in this country
are common, and any man who tries to
divide our people into warning classes
and factions and does it by appealing
to prejudices and arousius the passions,
is an enemy Of the State.
The law says all property must bere-
turned for taxation at its market value
The idea is to have equalization in the
assessments OF all classes Of property.
Is it right to make war on one class Of
property because it is not returned at
It's market value aud to let other prop
erty so when it is not returned at its
market value: There is land in this
county that will bring any day on the
market $40 to SIS an acre and possibly
more, that is assessed for taxation at
S4.75 an acre. There is no war made
on that and We are making none, and
we only mention it to show the injus-
tice of this clap trap argument.
But the point we started out to make
was this: Whatever differences we may
have on this question of politics now
disturbing our peace, there is no sense
and no earthly reason in our falling out
with our neighbor, who does not think
just as we do. Because a man gets up
on tie stump and uses big words and
ugly epithets and calls people names,
is no reason be is smart intelligent, or
fit for office. The men he is talking
about may be 4 thousand times better
than he is. Because speaker makes
big appeal to your prejudice and tries to
arouse your passion and to make you
oeiieve everybody is against you but
himself, is no reason he is telling the
truth, but it is = pretty sure evidence OF.
.ne iact that he wants yoss-ss>,s.sssss25i
'h!Nks that is the1s
The peonha way to setlt.
ssJSssssgzsss G thinking for them
tEeyf know thing or
they see it, and we are glad
50. They are not tied to any mans
coat tail nor are they in any mans
breeches pocket. Let the light be
thro"n on and when voting time comes
the: will be able to make the proper
ST.: :: and all will be will.
i.c:S:s remember that only in united
eii~:t cah We make oIsP-State prosper
Gus and osss- people happy. Let US re-
member that if we stir up bad blood
VIC will be in no condition to bring
about this united effort. Let US remem-
Der that 50 far as we are individually
concerned neither the election of
Mr.. Tillman or Mr.. Sheppard is
going to put money in our pockets
or happiness in our homes. Let
US each one, remembering the response
bility that rests upon US as voters, view
thesituation calmly, deliberately andin-
telligently and make up our own minds
according to the dictates of our own con-
sciences, and vote for the best men with
out dictation orinference from any one.
Let US, one ID all, spurn as an insult
to our. intelligence, any effort at dicta-
ton from whatever source it comes.
Let US, one and all, as free white men,
capable Of exercising the right to vote,
hear the men who are asking for our
votes, and read the arguments on both
sides, and having done this, reach our
own conclusions as to men and meas
ures. If we do less than this we are
not worthy the name of free man.
The man who advises you not to hear
the men who do not think as you do,
or who advises you not to read those
papers that differ from you, is not your
friend, and further, offers an insult to
your intelligence. Such advice is meant
to keep you from reasoning the situa-
ton out in your own way.
Let US reason together and look at
all-sides of the situation and the true
position will be reached.
