A Democratic sheet. called Fact.
About Negroes" is sown broadcas,
in our county, and | suppose through.
out the State, with . view to try to
tool somebody. This sheet has grea,
big black head lines, Negro" me
gro" Negro" with ugly negro car
toons cunningly drawn, and no doub,
lylngly too, with q view of stirring
up race hatred to carry their points.
Ttey would have as believe that Jim
Young is running the whole thing a,
the State Institution for the deaf
dumb and blind, for white and col
ored, and that negroes have abou,
taken several of our big cities, and
soon will have the whole country in
their charge, when they ought to
know, and do know that that ia a
whopper-too big q one to make sen.
sible people believe. This sheet
whose editor | guess, was ashamed
to sign his name to it, is no doubt
calculated to fool some who are no,
we'll acq quainted with their tricks and
mean methods of stirring up race
prejudice. thinking thereby to divide
the people IN order that they may get
chance once more to get their no
ses at the pie counter of the State.
am very sorry indeed that the farm
ers, as a class, are so unwatchful of
their enemies. If they only would
devote a little more time to reading
and watching the acts of those fel-
lows and their agents. they would
not be fooled so easily, and would
know just for what men and meas
ures to vote on election days, and
this copious outpouring of deceptive
campaign sheets would cease.
Enough money is wrung from the
poor farmers and worklngmen by
these boodlers, for distributing their
lies and deceptions to run the State
government, which the people ought
to put stop to.
Talking about negro domination
l believe that to be as small an evil
and as little curse to the people, to
be compared to the domination of
the money power, as the little light
of the fire fly is to the sun. 1t is bad
legislation foisted upon US by these
"white-shirted' money thirsty lords
that we should deplore, and not the
fear of the negro, as these negro
howlers would have US believe. These
