BIRDS OF A FEATHER.

AS we rush along LIES high
way we occasionally look about
us to see what company we are
in.
A man is often judged and
rightly estimated by the COM
pany he keeps. Today we find
reason for congratulation in the
fact that we are on the side of
right and decency and that our
immediate associates are the
ministers of the gospel of Jesus
Christ, the defenders of right,
and the opponents of vice. By
them our efforts are commend
ed.
Efforts that make us enemies,
but what would it all be worth
without the work that arouses
the opposition? Shall we be so
selfish as to refuse to do our duty
to the public for fear of the loss
OF friends, or, at least, the favor
OF man or men who do not
stand wholly for the right?

THEREFORE, WHY?

1. Irwin county has been, in
past recent contests, about
evenly divided when the ne
gro was in it and the saloon
men used money effectively.
2. The anti-saloon senti-
ment has gained great
strength within the last few
months.
8. Unfair registration and
illegal voting ARE not permits
sible in a primary. and will
not be tolerated in contest,
in the party, to select it's
candidates, besides it is i'm
practicable when so long
and important a ticket is be-
ing voted.
4. A trimming candidate
is at a disadvantage in a con-
test with a bold and ag-
gressive competitor, who is
proud of his platform.
Therefore, why?
