Greenwood, >. G., July Is, 1896.
To say OF man that he Is without an en-
emy is not according TO truth; or, If it were
would be a doubtful compliment. 4 true
man, and faithful, who stands up for the
right and against the wrong. is apt to stir up
hornets nest now and then.
AS the elections are fast approaching, fcl.
low voters, make up your minds TO vote for
no man simply because he belongs to the
same faction that you do, vote for no man
that has his mouth polluted with vulgarity
and is blacksuard. Vote for man that is
worthy OF the name OF man. If there is any
thing more disgusting than another IT is 10
hear man telling dirty tales. Again, l say
vote for no man that keeps his office open for
men TO congresate in and drink whiskey and
whoop and hulow, destroying the dignity
of the office. Vote for no man that gets
drunk or drinks TO excess. / call no names,
but If there Ia candidate running for any OF
the several offices, that feel guilty, look me
square in the face when you meet me, and
say by the help OF the Lord VIII not be gull
ty any longer. If no others offer themselves
for the Legislature. l move that we bring out
others. We can't get q ticket out or the ones
out. About two out OF every three meet
say the same thing. L. 4. Graham is SOHO J.

men would refuse TO serve If elected. The eX-
ecutive committee made very unjust rule
not TO count vote for the House unless Il
had thereon five names that had filed their
pledge with The county chairman. Unless
others come out that will shut off a number
from voting 'or the Legislature.
