‘‘COSE LET S'S KIIASOT TO
ii ETHER.”
To thr 1 (i/,. r of Morion :
Many candidates are before us,
■ e <• 1 1 eiitlca voi ing lo uirn the notmlar
iid*i in Ids fsiv. r. This, I think, is
! prop*, .ii.l ng'd. But m appealing
(o' us fur support, they impose this
duty wfiiob they ought, religiously,
to pet form. To select, in our judgp
im rit, the best qimlifl al men for the
positions to which they aspire.
To do this we must uisconneet our- |
selves Loin piejudiccs, personal pref- [
eiencos and cvdi natural synipnlhy, '
and weigh the claims of each aspirant |
in the scales of unbiased reason. It:
is both our tintv and inter, et to do
this. I'lupiid tied officers do great j
harm, though tlrey be the best of men I
in other rtspecs.
After dne reflection I have resolved
lo supfiort the p ’esent. officers. The
i following ary my reasons:
i The duties of the officers, save that
iof Judge of Ordinaly, arc n,inis:er al
and rncehivnieal. requiring, in their
disehargn, good common sense, mor il
integrity, hones; application, lurid
understanding of ofliciul routine, and
practical knowledge of 1 1.<• (ilucn
liotial branches employ■••d in their
tullidiui'nt. 'i’h'ise vvSio have experi
| eneeiii tiling ofli '.es are better qua i
i tied, nil things i Is** being equal, limi
! tliose who have not. It is: .-itcnt that
j only those, men should bo chosen who
' are known to possess the necessary
q i:di‘ : cn'h>ns.
Th<* coords show that, Messrs 'l'.
B. Lumpkin. J. R. lfiisl.in, ilarny
Wells, -Frank ltus,hin and A. W.
D.ivis have the*e requisites to an em
inent degree, and have given entire
. ail-lac 1 in. Their dud s lip.ve nfi
hern faithfully, ponip-ly, hnndson cly |
discharged- Through years ol ser
vice. who have b eu aide to attach j
the least blame to ciilwr of them ? !
Every (Rand Jtny and the (Jmnp
troll-T (f ner.d, after examining tlioir
book--, have atte.-tevl their excellence
and completeness.
The office of Ordinary, being jndi
cs! and j. - xt*eulive, is (lie most bn
j iriant ol all. I-con his acts the vi
tal inteics s of the county depend.
Eveiy error ninde by him does serious
injury. Therefore his judgment
should !c sound, his knowh-dge thor
ongli, 1:'. 5 honesty beyond all qm stiou,
and his btiisiiHiss ability of the first
o dor. The fiottticial and almost all
oth* r affairs ol the county are under
his imntetlbvt- control and supervis
ion. Uo is ti !)Usiac*s manager of
tiie •..•onnty. and is eonditiou is regu
lated bv t,i: abi'i’y.
All tUo -|-labile;-tions nrc ssarv to
make a saih, pntdaht, profitable Or
dinary, 1 believe .James .M. Lowe pos
soss'.-s. S; vend years ndnnnistrmion
liavo proven him to 1) ■ undoubtedly
the light man in the right place. His
hooks are without bieinisli, and the
h -althy coudi'ion of the county’s
afi-.i ii's are,;’ (bated to his superior
tab nt, exeeutivo ability and econom
ical tnanagoincn*. It docs him henor
and entiti'-s him to our undivaled
itppovt. Our onerous taxes are due
to a ilefective Oonstiuition, expensive
laws and reeor.itnendiuioiis oi Grand
Juries, which be was bound to re
speet. lie has superior business
ability wnieli is absolutely necessary ;
he •firs closely studied ail laws au<l
enactuiOat S appeUidnillg to his nffleo
and lindr-i stands them thoroughly,
tie lias made an exceptionally good
Ordinary, and it will require years
of hard study for anew man to a tain
his proficiency and effectiveness.
The present officers possess the
row gnat a-lva ta cot having ex
ercised the duties of their offices for
a long time, and are familiar wi.h
aT their details. They ate, therefore,
superior to any new men who might
displace them. New officers would
liav.- to leal u wm-t. they nlreday know.
Experimenting with new men is al
ways expensive and frequently inju
rious. A good business mail docs
rot change Ids old employees when
they have proven to be competent,
for ft esh ones, who are inexperienced.
Furthermore, this is no time for ex
periments in county matters.
The present, officers had nothing
to do with bringing about the unfor
tunate troubles engendered in the
race lor the Legislature. If there is
| a “town cliqo” they are not in it, of it,
or supported by it; On the contrary
they have held themselves aloof “nil
summer'’ from “Active Transitive”
politic*!. To oppose a person be
cause he lives in town, or anywhere
particularly, is very unjust and sui
d letliy dangerous. Oniy little ip'; r

lie atli.iutps with this chuteli or that
is also beneath the dignity of a sensi
ble man. Those who ne stioli means
to influence votes ate vei l oni iow,
pious frauds.
In conclusion, my fellow-citizens,
let me urge upon you the necessity of
preventing our County Oovermnci t.
fioni falling into ignorant, inexpert
enced or incompetent, hands. Our
safety, our prosiicrity, our estates in
ease of death, demand that we make
n judicious selectimi of officers, irre
spective of chuieU-ielations town or
country residence, or any *>thcr un
seemly prejudice or predttertion.
I make use of an assumed signa
ture liecause I do not wish to scein
to endeavor to use the weight <>l my
personal influence in behalf of any
candidate, but simply my reason-. I
hope they will prevail with you.

NUMBER 13
An Aneinloie <>S’ Bret Harle,
| Bret Hurte was lecturing in Ik an
! sylv.m a a short time ago. A' one of
i his ap])oi itmems he felt very much
I*h pressed. It is a peculiarity of
humorists we are to'd, to tie aecoun
i table melancholy and gloomy 8 iat
times Harte was in this mood now.
One of the committee wont in back of
of the scenes to see him, and the do
pressed humorists welcomed him as
a gleam of usual sunshine. They
shook hands- llano earnestly, and
the, committeeman decorously.
‘'Mr. Harte,’ he said gravely,
"yon wilt find this an unusually
healthy city.”
‘‘Ah! ’said the’pleased humorist,.
‘"Yes. The death rates are only
one day i ‘‘
At this juncture Ilarte took tlio
i committeeman by his arm, J and hur
riedly asked :
“Is lie dead?”
“Dead !” ejaculated the the com -
mlttcormn, “who dead?” •
“Why, the man for to-day.” was*
the grave reply.
The committeeman started with all
his might into the immovable fare of
the lecturer.
“Isn’t there a e’erk here, or regis
ter, on coroner, or something like
that, of wiioin-you could find out
wether a man for this day has died?”
“Why,yes, I suppose so,” slowly
replied tlie committeeman.
1 ‘Would you be so good then as to
find out belore I commence the lec
ture it possible, whether that man is
dead? If lie is dead, then I am all
right, for 1 am to leave the city early
to-morrow morning but if he isn't
dead, 1 cannot help but fee! uneasy
about myself, am not well to
night.”
The kind-hearted eonnui teemau
immediately hurried away to get tho
iiiil'ormatiori.
When in his room at, the hotel that
night a servant told him a gentleman
wished him to stop down stairs iu the
rail, as lie wanted to see h.m. Mr.
ilarte went down, and there met tho
commit l’Ccmui'f.
“I am sorry, Mr. flnrte, to disturb
you,” he said, “but I could not get
that imformation earlier, It is all
right. That death rate I spoke of was
merely the average.”
—Florida is flooding Columbus
with oranges. Tho steamer landed
tliero six hundred and seventy boxes
of the golden fruit, which aru selling
at two cents apiece. The Times,
alluding to this Florida trade, savs :
“By the way, the boats ere bringing
us from Florida a greater variety of
supplies this season than heretofore,
and in greater quamitics, 100. Tho
manifest of die Julia shows fish, fish
roe, syrup, eggs, turkeys, venison,
wax and hides, in addition to (ho
oranges above mentioned.”
—John Bright, the English reform
er, differs radically with Pope. The
latter said, “Whatever is, is right.”
The former says, in effect, “Whatcv
cr is, is wrong.” He is thus quoted
lire; ally • “It seems to me that the
whole world is wrong—that every- -
thing is wrong in the creation and
arrangement of the conditions under '
which men live on this earth.”
—lt appears from the Louisiana -
testimony that thej slaughter of one >
negro was worth fifty thousand dol
lars to tlnj Ytepnblican party, every!"
j time. Is it any wonder, then, \lju'
