Woman Voter Writes.
Editor Post-D Dispatch.

GuIIOl Oot-DlSpdlCl.-
We wish to say through your
paper that it seems that the
woods will be full of candidates.
If all the people come out as can
didates, who will do the voting?
Well, we forgot the women.
They will come out by the
thousand; you will see the weak
kneed men 60 down on every
side, just as they should go.
We are sure that all the women
will have their eyes open, and
will not vote for men just because
they have breeches on, and they
should be God-fearing men, too.
They should have stability about
them. We want men who can
see visions and purposes; men
that are not partial; we want
men that cannot be pulled around
by the nose; men that are willing
to serve the people and cannot
be bought at any price. Such
men as above we must have,
otherwise it is impossible for us
to have good county government;
and we say to the voters of Rich
mond county to down every can
didate that cannot show up as
above.
We have got good men, and
must have them, or fail in having
good county government.
We also wish to start the ball
rolling do away with two of the
county commissioners. Why
not? Three can do the business
just as we'll as five, and be just
as true in law. Times are hard.
We should work economy! To
elect men for county commission
ers twelve and thirty miles from
the courthouse is all humbug.
We should elect good men near
the courthouse. This would be
a saving to the county. But we
should have good men, men that
will not be partial in anything
Take the good roads of Richmond
county for instance. Any travel.
er can see that very little is be.
ing done in upper Richmond,
compared to work done on roads
in the lower part of the county.
A county commissioner should
be good debater; and above all
he should have good judgment
about most any thing. A man
that has not the above qualifca-
tons is not competent, or fit to
take a seat at the commissioners
table, and the law should keep
them away.
A Woman Voter.

There was so much shifting Of
funds from one organization to the

to ascertain from the books amid rec

the practice of accepting notes OF
