I 7 v [913. * j? i> <^7 THE PRESS AND STANDARD, WALTERBORO, S. C. letter/ FROM MR. NMOAK ed from Ptfe 1.) tfcc fearlfftf and able stand you have taken for the right In the matter of tfe recent Congressional election. 1 to think of the bitterness and atrife of this campaign. And then to think that the people of Mte county, the men wha have the right to vote, should tell their vot<* like so much merchandise. Where is honor and virtue. Where is the stability of government when the power of the dollar is greater t>Un the manhood of a county or jr congressional dis trict? Will Colleton county never learn to conduct an honest and clean election? Will the men of the coun ty permit this wholesale debaueb- erj>dvithout proteat? .1 have not seen voice raised in protest save that 'of the editor of The Press and Standard. Do others not care? What of the future? Will f.he VQui|g man hood of the county be like their fa thers who sold their birthright for a mess of pottage? Shame on the sel ler of his vote and more shame on the purchaser! Then, what confidence <cn the d’strirt have In the man who would ride into office on the purchased vote of his district, the voice o' r. de bauched manhood? If he will biy votes or allow it to be done, will he not nett his own? l»iil ne:i pay.out money tor votes will.out hope o;' : * • v. a rd? Will not the impove-d lof/ers of the vote-buyers he w rouped in some way ’ \,’<i will t!’rt “ecoupiug he for the beot • InttvesiB of ire district? These are ciuest-ons which should be studied with ^the full seriousness c>f their ipeaning. The example set by the leaders in this debat emery is deplorable. Men who should be above stooping to slich depths, whose example should be for the upbuilding of the county in morals aftd manhood, are guilty of doing that for which there will come a day reckoning. Knowing the peo ple of the county as I do, I blush to think that they have become so mer cenary. and that manhood (s so cheap. Men of Colleton, redeem yourselves. If ever a suggestion is made again that your vote id purchasable let your actions forever repudiate the thought. Beak leadership from those who are above reproach, if such can be found, and they can for there are many good Ben in Colleton. Well, Mr. Editor. I did not intend to say ho much about this matter, but I feel keenly for the good name of the county, aad sthen it is assail ed 4 feel like protesting. I had in tended to call upon your corre spondents from over the county to write up the happenings in their sections of the county so that the readers might see what is going on. I am anxious to know if the '‘Don’t Worry Club" has dissolved, or if the Smoaks debating society still tackies weighty questions. or if anything out of the'ordinary has happened at Ripe Patch. Get your pencil pushers bpsy, Mr. Editor, and give ua the news. T Intcrd to tel! you something of this country, but jay letter has al ready gone too far. and that must keep for a future effort.
