Nominations-
Parly nominations are - necessary
evils. In a country where all the citi
zens are npright and intelligent men
whose spcial n nd pecuniary interest
are nffect-jd by the officers who pre
side. Over their public affairs, they
enn safely go intp an election without
that preliminary, always being sure
that good'men will be chosen. _B.it
■where the wiring, wealth and intelli
gence of h country or county is in
the minority,, and the ignorant and
unprincipled majority recognize those
qualifications only as good which to
tally unfit the office seeker to. Occupy
a position of trust or lioRcr,—selfpres-
erviitibii' demands that that minority
by close organization and strategy,
together \vith unanimity of purpose;
should - select as candidates certain
worthy men out of the large number
of good ones who would like to hive
such- positions.
In our county the white people rec
ognize the pet that if the Radical ele
ment is nllowed full sway; our Society
will be ruined both socially and finan
cially. Iri other sections the party of
public plunder lias had undisputed
control, and officials have ^plundered
the public crib,. and taxes have been
piled upon taxes until they reach from

When an office seeker gets so blind

be in'all respects a model .Southern newspaper.
Tliis is the fame that the Morning News covets,
an d no pains .will be spared hereafter to make i»
fti’l worthier of the confidence and patronage of
the peopIe of Geprgiah aiid Florida. The ample

such comment as will enable the business men of
Georgia and Florida to form estimates as accu

In a word, the Morning News will comprise
every feature that renders the modem newspaper
attractive, and its readers may confidently look to
its columns for the latest information in regard
