anyway. You say :

0 Tho wet men registered great
Crowds of negroes, they came in
droves, in "w agons, on muk.* and
on foot ir crowds," and yet out of
a township with at least a few
white men "wet." and 'Jsa' negro
votes, after all this registering of
negroes by wet employers, wo hav-?
wet votes countetl out after tho
election.
Hunter Township had 2nl white*
voters registered and 2$3 colored
registered making 4-T registered
voters. But "197 votos wore polled.
Whore was tho falling otr, att i
what the cause? Assuming then
that all tho whites voted and al!
went "dry," you have had :\t
least It'd negro votes. Again as.
suming that tn? w hite man voted
"wet" at your box, y.*0 have the ne
gro vote li-- dry to 53 wet.
Now in the face of all this you
get up and eli argo the opposition
with mauipilating tho negroes, and
just after the election say that the
whites would have carried prohi
bition by 1000 majority. Hut thi?
is ahou: as near the truth as tho
Euterpriso can usually get.
Now in all serlousnees wc a-k.
why did this w agon mule and cart
multitude "go ! nek" on those who
registered them. Kobo answer
"whon nine-tenths of the white

Probably Mr Enterprise -..mo
i things occur in your township
which escapes your watchful oye.
If you ascertaiu and state that tu ne
of your citizens told a negro if he
voted prohibition ho would l>o di?
Charged, t: at no man ?vitin bl tho
: registration certificates in order to
? ?co that the right ballot was depos
ited; then, the charge w ill be
disproved, liefere the election was
over the-o charges were the talk
. of tho county, and in justice to
your bu?ine<s ni on. some of whom
were charged with unduly influ
t encing negroes In voting, you
I should clear your township. As to
' tho man mentioned by TM J: At?
\ VKi'.TisKu who paid fifty coats ?'or
' registration certificates, wo will
state ho does hot resido in Hunter,
I but Laurens township, and vot-vl
hore. Says the Enterpri-e: "A? to
, dragging tho negro again Into pol
itics, let tho blame rest where it '.?e
longs." So says TitK Ar?vr.t;Tisrr.,
and hero is what Mr Hemphilt th"
State Senator Irom Abbovillo ha*
to say ah? ?ut it :
"Who i- responsible tor tho ne
"gro v??t?i in this election hut tho
?'Prohibitionists themselves? They
"were hot satisfied for only th?>sc
'.who held State registration cor?
"tlfttcatcs to vote but by an amoral

ay they provided for this special
i "registration, If they didn't ex

'."provision in the law? They can
..only binnie themselves and should
i "be ho last <?n?- t?> c Moplain about
j "this ill-advised Injection of thc ne
j "gro vote into a popular election.
N?-w the Enlerprlso bas taken
up tho gauntlet. when it soi ? fit, it
I I can put lt dow n. When issue-? aro
'. before tho people, it matter- not
: whoso pet schemes they aro, this
: paper proposes to discuss them.
; Yon can ju*t put thi* in your pipe
" ' and-pull.
< We believe that ?ince tho negro
; iras a factor, both side? have Used
J him, and perhaps taken uuwarran
j ted means lo secure votes, but "lot
I thc blame rest where it bolong?."
; If the prohibitions of (Tinton deny
, that any intimidation, promises or
throats were used, if only the mer
i chants ot that town believe th..t
. every man voted according to
choice, and that every man voted
who th sired, thi- will do Infinitely
moro toward- "denouncing in de
"serving term- such unwarranted
"attack upon its character" than a
bald denial of the Enterprise.
Wo desire to misrepresent noth
ing. Hut endeavor to, speak tho
truth. Don't lay all thc blame of
tho negro votes on those who rofu*
e?l to swallow such a dose as tho
Murry Hill w ith all its objection
able feature?, .some ??f which were

of making it obnoxious,
You ask, "i? THE ADVERTISER
"sorry ol anything?'' Wc? answer,
yes. Wo aretr?^Y sorry that this

A DEAD LETTER LAW.

Some years apo a big, fat anp !

owned things. After he had l?*>kod .

put his hand on the shoulder of thc .
large, globular man and asked him ?
it he had a Pullman ticket. The.
wide man -prend his legs a little :

conductor who assists >ir (ieorgo
Pullman in giving his beloved j
sleep.
"We are not carrying people (his !

feeling between man and man."
"Do you know," said the large

"Possibly so," said theconductor, i

several times he made thin ?ame
sad error of not recognizing some

Twice he missed it on me. Hut i
I did not report him, for he ought
