A white man was lynched in
South Carolina Saturday.
Every democrat who stays
away from the polls tomorrow
will be guilty of a positive dere
liction of duty.
Ocilla was the victim Saturday
night of the ‘'Before Day Club”’
agitation that has alarmed
various communities recently.
It seems that the whole town
became alarmed, and that prepa
rations for trouble were general.
The male population slept by
their loaded riflce, and an armed
guard watched over the town un
til Sunday morning’s sun. I.
was rumcered that the negroes
would attcmpt a raid, or scme
diabolical scheme, against that
community Saturday night.
It seems that a drunken negro
had told a negro woman of the
alleged plot, and that she in turn
ported the matter to some
jite friends. Little heed, how
' was {aken of the report at
Ebut late Saturdayafternodn
began to disappear
e streeis of the town, and
-gs ‘that werc usually

@tk were comparatively
' ‘_;'and nobody seemed to
what had influenced
‘fiil state of affairs,
: (l’ally, the old rumor

Bwas rclated tco that a
_éader, Judge Paulk, had

pilk, of the Ilolt district, to
his bocks to a negro gather
fing and allow them to register
ithat they might participate in
the elections tomorrow.
It appears that L r. Paulk, wko
is the son of Mr. Lucius Paulk,
refused toact on the request ¢f
the negro, tbe father of the
late Dolfus Paulk, the negro
postmaster at Ilolt until his
| death, less than a year apo, and
chairman of the County Republi
can Committee. It is said that
the negro stated to Mr. TPaulk,
the registrar, that there were
negroes enough ia that section to
wipe out the white people, or
words to that cffect. This oc
cured several wecks ago, but was
not seriously considered until
Saturday pight, and as the lclt
settlement is ju:t southcast of
Ociila, all of these things were
put together and discussed
with the result {hat prac
tically the whole community be

DEFEGTIVE BALLOTS.
“Winder, Ga., October 3.—A
singular feature of the ballots
prepared for the state election of
ncxt Wednesday for use in this
section has been widely discuss
ed the past day or two by the
lawyers, then by the political
factors and finally by the busi
ness men of this city. :
“There is some perplexity as to
the probable result of the varia
tion in the form of the paragraph
relative to the amendment pro
viding for the increase of Geor
gia counties from 137 to 145.
“Whereas the paragraphs stat
ing the vote for or against the
o‘her amendments, state in the
body of the amendment to be
voted on, the paragraph in refer
ence to the incrcase in counties,
by somc strange oversight,
stand as follows:
IFor ratification of paragraph 2,
gsection 1, article 11, of the con
stitution of this state (to make
the number of counties in this
state 145)
“Well known lawyers and able
jurists in this section have Leen
questioned as to the legality of a
vete in accordance with the terms
of the above paragraph, v hich
provides for the ratification of a
paragraph of the censtitution
which is manifestly unnecessary,
instead of ratification of an
amecandmert to the constitutioa.
The verdict of those who have
looked into the queston is that
such a vote would be iavalid and
could not be registered as a vote
for the amendment, which is
being submitted to the people of
the state.
‘ “On the other hand the con
trary vote is stated as a vote
against the amendment to the
paragraph and reads:
“Agaiast ratification of amend
ment to paragraph 2, sectioa 1,
article 11, of the constitution of
the state (to make the number of
counties in this state 145.)
“These tickets, it is allegcd,
have been printed both in
Gwinnet and in Walton county,
on different presses and cir:u
lated by different county com
mittecs and the similarity of the
two ballots in this respect, Jdif
fering as they do from the ballots
of other counties of the state,
has aroused gcneral comment
and much speculation bere,
“The citizens of Winder have
been very much ianterested in the
success of the amendment pro
viding for an iacrease of the
counties of the state from 137 to
143, and would deeply regret to
see a number of good votes lost
to their cause by a mere tecbni
cality., If the amendment car
ries, Winder will be the county
seat of one of the proposed new
counties.”’
After reading the above start.
ling news in today’s Constitution
the editor of the Enterprise ex
amined the tickets printed for
this county and we found the
same defect, which is according
to the copy sent out by the chair
maxn of the state democratic com
mittee. The probability is that
most of the counties of the state
are provided with the same sort
of tickets, and if the defect is in
sisted upon aund sustained, of
course the amendmeat will be
overwhelmingly lost. Itis pos
sible that the error is a mere ac
cident, on the other hand it is
quite possible that it is the fruit
of a deliberate attempt to defeat
the will of the peopleat the polls.
Since writing the above we
have talked to Editor Herring, of
the Tilton Gazalte, over long dis
tance 'p oune and he states that
tickets for Berrien and Worth
counties are all right, do not
bear the defect.
The Enterprise has cne of the
best subscription lists in this
part of the state, not especially
large, although larger than any
other paper published in the
countly, but unusually strong.
It is recognized as theorgan of
the people, who come after it, or
send for it read itand pay for it,
and wi.bhout solicitation. The
sorriest business in the world is
going round begging people to
subscribe for a local piper, and
next to that is going round ask
ing forthe subscriptionprice. We
allow the people to ask us for the
Enterprise, which earnests their
appreciation of the paper and
iheir intcntion to pay for same.
We are proud of cur subscrip
tion list, it’s a kind of honor roll
and on it are many names that
we hounor.
