GREENVILLE.

This new year day finds Greenville n
happy town. The year 1908 was one of
great material progress, and our citizens
view with pride what has been accom-
pl:shed. Greenville's growth is not by
spurts, but the town goes forward with
sure and steady progress.
Figures are not at hand for compari-
son. nor can the exact amount invested
in new buildings be given, but it goes
far above the hundred thousand mark
and the assertion can be made that Green
vile has had no better year in this par
ticular than the one just closed.
The most important step taken by our
people during the year was The establish

READ CAREFULLY
Instructions in How to Mark
Ballots for Voting.

Unless some people look carefully
TO their ballot on election day they
are going to lose their votes by the
way they mark the ballot. There is
going to he great deal of scratching
of tickets and that is where the
trouble will come in. Anybody can
vote straight party ticket by
simply marking the name of the
party at the top for which he wishes
to vote. When it comes to scratch
ing names on this party ticket to
vote for another man on another
party ticket, great care must be used
or the entire ballot will be thrown
out.
There will be three places on the
ballot that it will bother-in voting
for assemblymen, regents of the state
university and for constables in the
various justice precincts. Beginning
at the top of the ballot it reads,
II hereby vote a straight
(marking the name of your party in
the blank space) except where /
have marked with a cross Then
run down the list of candidates on
your party ticket until you come to
a name you do not wish to vote for.
Mark a cross to the right of the name
of the candidate for the same Office on
the other ticket, for whom you wish
to vote. 1t is not necessary to
scratch out the name of the man you
wish to turn down. When it comes
to- the legislative ticket, there will
be two men on each party ticket.
You may vote for both of them on
your own party ticket. In that case
you make no mark at all, except as
indicated by the name of your party
written in at the top. Should you
wish to vote for one man on the op-
position ticket, you simply place
your cross to the right of his name,
and draw the pen through the name
of the man on your own ticket that
your wish to turn down. Should you
want to vote for both men on the op-
position ticket, mark a cross to the
right of each, and draw the pen
through the names of the two you
wish to turn down. You must vote
for two men for the legislature.
The same method will apply when
voting for regent of the state uni
versity and for constable or any
other Office for which there are two
tickets. Above all, read carefully
the instructions at top OF ballot,
which is as plain as it can be made.
Be sure and write the name OF
your party in INK, and make all
crosses in INK, and after such writ
ing or marking USE THE BLOT
TER: otherwise, on folding the
ballot it may be blotted in such a
way as will prevent the judges from
knowing for whom you wish to vote.
All election booths must be sup
piled according to law-with plenty
of ink and pens, and card entitled
instructions to Voters"
If from physical intirmity you are
unable to mark your ballot, you are
entitled to the aid of two election
Judges. or clerks, one from each OF
the two most prominent partles'
they marking it as you wish.
If you are a foreigner and not able
to mark the ballot as you wish, the
Judges of election must furnish you
with two interpreters, each to be a
member of different party.

The Democratic Faith.
FROM INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF PRE-
sIDENT JOHN ADAMS.

"Cal authority be more amiable
and i"slectable when it desceuds
from accidents or institutions es-
tablished in remote antiquity than
when it springs fresh from the
hearts and judgments of an honest
and enlightened people? For it
is the people only that are repre-
sented. 1t is their power aud ma
gesty that is reflected and only
for their good. IN every legitimate
government, under whatever form
it may appear The existence of
such government as ours for any
length of time. is full proof of
general dissemination of know
ledge and virtue throughout the
whole body of the people. An
what object or consideration more
pleasing than this can be presen-
ted to the human mind? If ma
tional pride is ever justiGable or
excusable it is when it springs, not
from power of riches, grandeur or
glory, but from conviction of ma
tional Innocence, Information and
benevoience.
''In the midst OF these pleasing
ideas we should be unfaithfnl to
ourselves If we should ever lose
sight of the danger to our liber-
ties if anything partial or extra
neous should infect the purely of
our free, fair, virtuous and indie
pendent elections. If an election
is TO be determined by majority
of single vote, and that can be
procured By party through arti-
fee or corruption, the government
may be the choice OF a party fol
its own ends, not of the nation for
the national good. If that solita.
ry suffrage can be obtained by
foreign nations by fattery or me,
naces, by fraud or violence, by
terror. intrigue or venality, the
government may not be the choice
of the American people, but o.
foreign nations. 1t may b'
foreign nations who govern us ant
not we, the people, who govern
ourselves; and candid men viii
acknowledge that in such case
choice would nave little to boas'
of over lot or chance"
