THE QUESTION OF EXPEDIENCY

When the time comes to elect
delegates to the democratic national
convention the question Of expedf-
ency must be considered in selecting
the candidate for president. What
states can he carry? that is the vital
question. 1t would be folly to nomi-
nate our best friend or neighbor anu
see him defeated. The best man In
the United States may not get votes
enough to win, he may be too out
spoken, or be known to advocate
some reform that a section Of his
party is opposed to, perhaps because
it is not thoroughly understood. A
minority party is compelled to be
more careful than the party in pow
er with its many ways of smoothing
out rough places and placating kick
ers.

use the same system. but for some rea

he would have to do something; said
that he had the right and authority to
prosecute any overseer who failed, or
refused, to comply with instructions.
but in this case he did not want to
prosecute, SO the only thing left was
to have another overseer, and there
being no other white man on the road
it would of course necessitate the an.
pointment of a negro bat, as he bad
no desire or intention of humiliating
Mr.. Billy, or hurting bis feelings, he
would have him transferred to my

that has been called to my attention
in reference to an erroneous report
that is being used against one of our
prominent candidates for senator, Mr..

appointed a negro to oversee certain

the subject of better roads began to be
agitated, with an earnestness that
meant results. Mr.. s, n. Sample was
at that time the member of the board
from Beat 3 and may say also that
Beat was never better represented as
Mr. s. took deep personal interest
in the roads and bridges in his dis
trict, endeavoring to get good practic
al men for overseers, men that would
produce results, and it is matter of
general knowledge how he succeeded,
as he had as good roads and better
bridges than the beat has ever known.
At that time, the road beginning
at the corporate limits ofEbenezer aud
ending at Old Hickory Springs church,
constituted an overseer's link, but as
it was long road and one of the hard
