Ms. Edwards Appreciation.

To the Democratic voters of Lexing-
ton County:
I take this opportunity of express
ing to the Democratic voters of Lex
ington county my appreciation of the
support accorded me in my race for
the Legislature. In the first primary
I lacked only 81 votes of being nomi-
mated. I am now in the second race
and I trust that my friends will turn
out at the second primary.
will not be able to make an active
canvass on account of sickness in my
family.
Idesire to state again some of the
things that I will stand for as legis-
lator, if elected:
shall favor an economical admin
istration of the government, and 1
shall strenuously oppose extravaganza
in all Of it's forms.
shall favor the repeal of the law
creating bureau of immigration, and
shall oppose the appropriation of the
States money to bring emigrants to
South Carolina.
Approaching the distinguished SER
vices rendered to the State and the
South by the Confederate soldiers, I
shall favor the continuation of a safe
and liberal appropriation for pensions.
I shall favor legislation looking to
the building and improvement of pub
lie roads and highways.
! shall endeavor to procure the en-
actment of laws fostering the inter-
ests of the public free schools.
While there are other matters of
legislative Importance, consider the
above of the most vital interest. If I
am fortunate enough to be elected 1
shall devote my best endeavors to the
upbuilding of my State and shall zeal
ously guard the interests of Lexing-
ton county and its citizenship, ire
spective of locality.
ISAAC EDWARDS.

The Dispatch will greatly appreciate
the efforts of managers in aiding US to
get an immediate return of the votes
polled at their respective precincts.
This is very important to US, as it will
enable US to give full report of the
vote in our regular Wednesdays issue,
and thereby get the paper out on time:
AS soon as the votes are counted send
US list of the vote each candidate
received, and with but few exceptions
they will reach US Wednesday morn
ing. If you want to get the news OF
the election send returns in promptly.
