Having been silent quitea long
time and having had the fortune
to hear Mr.. Oates speech in
Lum berton on the 18th, it seems
that we must make an effort,
though it be in our humble way, |
to say something. /
First we will say that Mr. |
Oates had the wrong nen before /!
him; We dent think there was
one single man there that was
benefited. for the sim pie fact
that every man there bad already
fixed his vote for the 2o,n Of
May.
And now We want to try to
say something to the dear NO
men Of Robson county. You
cant vote, but thank God, you
can tall! Mother, wife, sister,
and daughter, put yourselves to
work. The greatest issue that
was ever before the people of
North Carolina is now before US
and the whole work is upon you
1t is said, ana truly,
"fke hand that rocks the cradle
L. the hand at rules tn . world"
Aud now for the sake of your
dear selves, for the sake of your
husband, for the sake of your
brother, for the sake of your
Sweethearts, for the sake of your
dear sons. for the sake of your
God, Go to work!
We once heard an old anecdo.,
that runs something like this
There lived an old nan who har
accumulated some property anC
also had several stalwart sous
J The old man became violpntl
{ sick and the boys thought 10
sure the old man was gone. an
l. in his presence began to quarrs
over the matter OF dividing til
p property. The old man stood
aslong as he Wellcouid and raise
himself up on his elbows an
: said in very selem tone, Boy
u don't be quarreling over 30
d property. / tell you I am NJ
le near dead: I will Ee here a he
