by the following, which is clipped
from a circular that is being ?c.:t

After an earnest appeal
to the Republican voters, the circular
goes on to say:
"As we are making the effort to,
prove that the suffrage clause j
the Constitution of 181)5 is illegal,
and thai every qualified voter un-j(

NO TROUBLE FEARED IF THE I
VOTERS DO THEIR DUTY.
Enough White Voters to Elect Him by t
an Overwhelming Majority?But They
Must Come to the Poils.
Congressman Elliott was in
Kingstree last week to see after (
the election, and when asked to |
give us something for publication, |
said: "My first impulse whenever ,
-.ii-.i ?_ ?... i.: ,.. . i.? r
cuneu ujjuii m &uy auviiiiiiu, iu ilit" ,
people of Williamsburg county is ?
to return my sincere thanks for all ,
thp'r kindness to me through j
ui.uiy years. And I am glad to be I j
able to sav that thev do not appear ,
to be getting tired ol me because
two years ago they gave me the t
best vote I have ever got.
"As to the coming election, of ,,
L'our^e you know that the Demo- ,
rats have :\ brge majority in tins s
lis*ricl under the new registration |
law. and that the only possible
lunger ahead is that our people

eood citizen ought to make it a v
rule to vote at every election. In
this way only can the body po.'it? c
c be kept pure and healthy. It' ^
the people neglect their political
luties and leave it to a few per>ous
to manage public affairs, in- f
ivitably there will come rings and
rascality. But if all the people ,
ir'oie, nothing will go wrong. I pay ^
his because the mass of the peo ^
3le are honest?they are not after ^
?nv selfish schemes?thev are con- j
reined only for the public good.
Let then every Democrat on gen- j
*ral principles, come out and vote j
>11 the 8th. of Nov. But there are j
peeial reasons why there should (|
>e a full vote at this election. The
Republicans are trying to break
iown our new election law by
naking contests. I have one con
est now on hand, and no doubt {
vi11 soon have another, and there
vill be three or more from the j
state. The Republicans openly de {
lare that the object of these conests
is to reestablish the reeon- ^
itruction constitution of 1868. The t
>nlv way to deleat this iniquitous
icheme is for every duly qualified ,
democrat to come out and vote. ^
tnd I will look out lor the contest
tnd protect their interest to the s
)est of my ability." j,
