CARD FROM MR. WHITE.
To the Voters of Screven county: /
The campaign is now nearing its close. As, in my announcement 1
made a pledge to the voters of Screven county that I should conduct this
campaign upon a high, and honorable plane, so far I have kept my pledge.
To the end I shall keep it. I call upon my friends to uphold me in this
endeavor.
Use no money or whiskey or any illegal method of procuring a vote.
I want none that is procured in this manner.
f appeal to the honesty, integrity and high aim of the honorable citi
zens of the county of Screven, and ask them to judge of my fitness for
this position to which I aspire, and, if after considering the matter in a
dispassionate manner, uniniiuenced by personal feeling but with a view
only to the rmblic good, you decide that either of my opponents can be of
more service 10 our county than myself, I ask you to support them; but, if
you think that I can vender our county and our State, which we all love,
more service than they, I do ask you to support me.
I do not impugn the motives of the gentlemen who oppose me. In my
opinion, they have a high and honorable ambition, and aspire to fill a
worthy position—a position which can only be obtained by the will of the
people of Screven; and in such a contest as that in which we are now en
gaged, it can be urged to the discredit of none, for it is a position that
belongs to no one and which rests entirely with the people, and with
them I leave my cause,
All that 1 ask is a fair fight and an open Held, and that I believe my
opponents will give me.
In my announcement of my platform, I set forth briefly and succinctly
my views upon the the public questions, which I deeme d of importance,
that were then pressing, and are now pressing, for solution before the
people of this Slate, and that would likely come, or that it would be my
duty, if elected, to bring, before the General Assembly of Georgia. I
upiierstand, the however, disfranchisement that, a few people of the have not. thinking fully undeistood possibly by my fivpi- po

clearly that I stale, as explicit} 1 and as emphatically as the English lan
guage will allow, my position The negro prior to 1865 was never allow
ed to exercise the right to vote. I propose that he be reinstated, as far as
the right to vote is concerned, to that position. Some would suggest that
this can not be legally done. Some of the most eminent jurists upon the
American continent have single given it white as their opinion I have that it carefully can bo their done
without disfranchising a man. read
opinions. I have noted their legal reasons. I think them good. At
least, seven states within the South have passed such law's, and none of
them have been declared unconstitutional, and no white man has been
disfranchised, and 1 defy the World, the Flesh and the Devil to show to
the contrary. that I would be opposed to law' that would

munities of this county to the effect that I am in favor of bonding Screv
en county, possibly to the sum of two hundred or two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, and that I was influenced in this by certain individuals,
who, were supposed, to be very active in my support. I desire to state
here and now that such a rumor is absolutely unfounded and untrue. In
the first place, I am neither controlled, nor influenced, nor under any ob
ligations, to any man or set of men on the face of this globe. I fear
nothing, when it comes to the Public Good, but doing wrong, and 1 have
no higher conception of my duty than doing right; and, if I am elected to
the legislature, I will be under no obligations to any one citizen more

than to every other citizen, and that obligation to all is to perform my
duty, and to represent my constituents as 1 believe to their best interests,
" bonds concerned, it whether
As far as the-issuing of is matters not
either of the other candidates or myself are elected, or what either one of
them collectively or individually, may think about the matter. They
will have no more to do with the bonding of Screven county than any
other citizen, for, if it is ever done—which I seriously doubt- it will only
be done after a majority of the citizens have voted in favor of bonds. As
to my individual views upon this question, I do not now, nor have 1 ever,
hestitated to express them when called upon. From the present lights
that are before me, and from the little study that 1 have been able to give
the matter since it has been agitated, I would vote against the issuing of
bonds for the purposes intended. My reasons are that the necessity has
not arisen. We are able to do more now than we are doing. We have
more money on hand than it appears vve can judiciously use, under
present conditions. Bonds should never be issued by state, county or
municipal government, as a general proposition, until the necessity of the
case is extremely urgent, and the public welfare actually requires it.
This is my individual view. Other gentlemen, equally as honest and sin
cere as I, differ with me on this question. To them I accord the same
privilege that I, myself, take, but my views as to this question, or their
views, have nothing to do with the present race for representative.
I do not mean by the above that I am opposed to. progress, the bet
terment of our public roads, or the development of our county in the rural
districts. In all of these things I heartily believe, but I. believe f that we
can secure these things without resorting to thy? extreme measure. awaiting I

EVANS OPPOSES BONDS.
The quest ion of bonding the comity is not an issue in the present,
campaign for representative, but as will there is a demand to know how
candidates stand on this question say, as I have stated in the
beginning. 1 am emphatically opposed for to placing a bonded indebted
noss upon the people of my county any purpose,
In my announcement card I stated “I favor the enactment of
sue h laws as will disfranchise the negro, and at the same time pro
'toot each white man in the full enjoyment of his voting privilege.”
After carefully and thoughtfully-considering still this question if mv views
] ulV c not changed. This is my platform, and. elected, will
heartilv support such measures as will legally disfranchise the negro,
| ni ( never, so long as I have the power to protest, will 1 consent t<>
; ,ny measure that will disfranchise a white man. There are still liv
mg a number of confederate veterans who in the sixties were familiar
with the roar of the cannon, and who bared their breasts to the
Yankee bullets in the thickest of the fight, but who are not so fori 11 -
ante as to be the possessors of much education or property, and who
now would bo disfranchised if a law should be passed disfranchising
according to a property or educational qualification. Some of my
closest friends cannot read >r write, and so long as the warm south
ern blood courses through my veins I will never be a party to any
measure that will interfere with their right to exercise the privileges
of a free born citizen.
Yours respect fully.
