Editor Advance.- As wo have just
passed through a year of political strife,
und entered upon the duties ot the Ne*
Year, 1 feel inclined to say u word in re
gard tw tin; politic,>1 differences wlucb
seem to have gwvcrncd ami ( ontrolledn
very laruu numbers of out people.
Among the numerous luudidatis for
the different county offices, many of our
citizens in discu.-sing the merits ol the
various candidates an l his qualification
to ill a certain office, depended upon
bow he voted in the past. For instance
in spc.tking of ary one candidate Uic
only question asked is: ‘Mid he vote for
Colquitt, oi Norwood, fo; L- ster or Fed-
ton, for (,'lemeuls or Felton, and this
fact decides bis quiiliticutiou lbr ollic*
with some of our good citizens. You
never bear the question asked: ‘Is lie
honest, is be capable, is lie moral, and
can lie make a good Bond, is bo a pro
gressive man and will lie labor ami toil to
build up and promote the interest of the
peopleF’ Note of thoseque-Hon asked;
but how did lie vote in the past. Wliut
is all this but prejudice? It is unneces
sary tor me to refer you to all the il/od
ein European Governmontsto prove that
sectional strife has invariably been the
overtlirow of the Government. We all
have a common interest, together, and
all claim to bo espousing the same cause;
if this bo true, one man lias no right to
reprove an other for bis acts. In view
of all the pJst is it not time that our peo
ple were beginning to leain the great,
lessons of life; and ns a people begin to
lend u helping hand to tacli other, and to
home inutitutions. What does it matter
to us who our 1’ivsidcnt may he, or wlm
( ur Governor may be, or whom wc may
send to Congress, w hen our fit Ids lan
guish, and our county is unimproved.'’
Let us commence now, at the beginning
of the new year, and fetus begin at home.
Let us encourage homo enterprise, und
heme industry; send less money i.way
from our county und e ndeavor to bring
more into it, anil thus wc shall become
a prosperous people.
