<^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.
With bear v ishe* for every reader
and friend in o’d Colieton. 1 am.
Yours truly.
