Brooks Wingard for tbc House next Tuesday. , i nun w O. JuM. HON. E. J. ETHER! EDGE. REASONS WHY HE SHOULD BE REELECTED HIS VIEWS, POSITION, RECORD, CHARACTER AND QUALIFICATIONS. Hon. E. J. Ethercdvc is asking tnr the suffrage of the people of Lexington county on good grounds. He Iuih served his county with l?onor and credit. During the one term lie lias made many and warm friends in the House where lie lias made himself felt. When the late lamented Altamont Moses died, Dr. Etheredge was selected over dozens of older members to till his position on the State House Commission. During the incoming House lie wll have prestige which will put him In position to do his yeopie a great deal of good His private life is one of clean honor and uprightness; his record is a clear one of which no one can be ashamed. As to t he Dispensary question lie and his opponent stand on the san e ground?both favoring that institution, differing slightly on the Ilrlce liill. In Hiisnftc!ii/.n r\_ ? >.>- ? ? ? - i>wiuiuii it. nuiereage is standing on an honest conviction? holding firmly to a manly conviction? the right of every honest man. Geographically Dr. Kthcrcdgc should be elected. The Fork has one man elected, won. J. M. Eptiug; the Hand ililts have ilon. W. ll. Shame and Lexington Court House has the State Senator. Hon. D. Frank Efird. Now this end of the county deserves and should demand representation in the person of lion. E.J. Etheredge. He has plenty of friends to elect htm. Some of these, however, say they will not vote for him because lie is a Dispensary advocate. So is Mr. wingard; but will not these slop to consider that it is a pretty poor friendship which will terminate in politics. In all fairness to ourselves, to our IcDunty and to I)r. Ethercdgc, we should all turn out and vote for htm. We all know him; we all concede that he is honest, true and sincere; that ho is competent and qualified. Then wiiy not vote to the best effect? k WHIST P&HTV mtm < * AAA" ^ A A AAV' A A I Last night at.
