The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1896-06-10

ened somewhat in '92 by the re cleo
tion OF Governor Tillman. But in
"a there were some signs and hopes
that the two factions of the old
party would be united and the differ
ences healed. '96 is upon rs, fellow
citizens of Lexington county, and
let us lay aside party st"ifes, malice
and hatred toward one another. rally
to the standard and 60 on and &C
complish the work and fulfill our
mission.
We hear of some men saying that
the are not going to re lister. To
such ones appeal from the very
depth of my inmost soul not to en-
tertain any such an idea. Go to the
registering precincts, carry your tax
receipts and get your registration
certificate. Having this we can go
to the polls and vote for the man of
our choice in the coming election.
Fellow Democrats, your vote is the
only boon of liberty you have in this
great government of ours, and then.
for the sake of your own liberty and
freedom, for the sake IF your own
fellow man; yea, for the sake of that
freedom which your sons and daugh-
tiers are to enjoy in the coming years,
take advantage of this blessed op-
portunity and preserve the freedom
and peace Of your country.
In our coming primary We hope to
see every true Democrat march up to
the ballot box and deposit his vote.
And men, when you pace that vote
in the box, be sure that it counts.
Be sure that it is for the right man.
Vote for men-especially those who
are to help make our laws--who have
the manly manhood and the moral
courage to stand up for what they
believe to be for the best interest of
their fellow couItrymen. Away
with coat tail swinge1s and boot licks!
Away with men who are so weak in
the spinal column and mental Uranium
that when an issue coufronts them
in the halls of legislation, dodge ii!
We have men who are capable and
competent to know what is best for
their fellow countrymen, and, know
ing it, will not fail to stand and plead
for it. We need men in the halls of
our legislation who will plead for the
freedom OF his fellow countrymen
and white supremacy. Men who
will fight for them and men who will
die for them if need be.
long to see the day, not only in
Lexington county and South Caro-
lima, but in these United States o!
our, when every man will put his
shoulder to the wheel and help on
the work. There is work for every
one. Carlyle compares the work of
this world to an immense wheel bar
row with immense handles, of which
there is one for every human being.
But there are some people, be says,
so lazy that they not only let go their
handles, but they jump upon the
barrow and increase the weight.
Men, don't let 60 your handle. There
is an abundance of work in this busy
world for every one who has a hu-
man heart. Then, with every mai
with his handle, the barrow will roll
on with grace and ease, and by and
by this great oppression and tyranny
that We have so much of, will be
done away with. Then let us rally
to the standard and put men at the
head of our government who have
that clear decision and resistless valor
to stand for the right and fight OF
preston and tyranny. In such
struggle for the right it would be
glorious to die:
"Dy expressions vices and pain,
By our sons in servile chains,
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be fret!
Lay the proud usurper low,
Tyrants fall in every foe,
Liberty's in every blow.
Let us do or dier'
May the good old Dispatch cor
tinue to stand for white mans rule
and supremacy as she has in by gene
days, and that her weekly issues will
find a welcome in all the homes of
Lexington's true citizens that they
may be taught through her columns
the right, and having been taught it,
will never dare to stand aloof from
doing that duty. B1iLY FELIX.
Castor, S. c., June l, 1896.
