Standing recently with group
of gentlemen as Col. Payne
passed by one said Il viii surely
vote for Payne for county treas
urer.
why will you vote for shim 20
I inquired one of the group.
The speaker replied There
are a number of reasons why /
should vote for Payne, and not
one why I should vote against
him. In the first place he is com
/ petent. In the next place he is
F deserving and needs the Office.
I Col. Payne is one OF Lowndes
countv's oldest citizens. Every
/ dollar he has made has beeH ex-
+ pended in our midst, and he has
Iabored on all occasions to push
forward whatever enterprise
worked for the upbuuding Of this
people. During four years OF
war, when your middle aged men
were infants in their mothers
arms, and when your young men
were unborn, he was standing as
q wall Of defense to those moth
ars and children, and waving the
/ flag Of the 14th Mississippi in
I defiance of the invaders who
/ were seeking to overrun our land.
Amid the chaos Of carpetbag
and scallawag rule he was always
present to give counsel or lead in
+. the fight.
81 have often heard General
! sharp say that the best speech
/ he ever heard, judging a speech
by its effects, was a speech made
by old Andy Payne. The boys
/ found it necessary to round up
/ some negroes who had become
riotous and defiant in Eastern
Lowndes. The negroes resolved
to retaliate and selected as their
victim a quiet inofensive old man
/ Hearing of this, d number O. the
I boys, old Andy among them,
went to the residence. The
/ negroes came. They filled The
ward and swarmed round the
/ house. The whites urged then
not to do violence, to go hom'
and be peacable. Persuasion
! seemed only to str lg,hsn tbeil
/ determination to have blood
Finally Col. Payne came cut anc
said what DO you men mean
you can have whatever yol
want. Do you want peace? L
YOU do, go peacaoly to you
homes. Do you want war2 yol
can have it. War to the knife
and the knife to the hills. Ii
