A Card.
'I’n Jo the tile Penrde 1 eople nf ot T Lincoln inenln Gnnritv County.
I am reliably informed that a
report is going the rounds of the
county to the effect that if 1 am
nominated and elected to the Leg
lslatme it will i be my purpose , tr .
advocate the establishment of a
dispensary at Lincolnton. I desire
to say the report is absolutely false.
Such a proposition had never once
occmred „,i la me , na until 1 accidentally
heard it was being used by my
political enemies.
If I am elected to the Legislature
Twill go there as the servant of the
people Lven it petitioned to do so
I would not under any circumstances
introduce a dispensary bill without
a provision guaranteeing to the
people ‘ * of the county the right to first
vote on the .. question. , I T , believe m ■ a
majority of the people ruling in all
things.
I am very much averse to going
iulc into print print to to correct conect cumtnDn campaign
canards, and would not do so were
it not for the fact that the above
report involves a real principle, in
which my position has been grossly
misrepresented.
An, little dirt, fling at mj re,,
lltatim or character 1 tain well
■fford to pass unnoticed, because my
#e»eu years citizenship in the county,
I think, is sufficient guarantee
against all slanders that have been
...
be started for
]>o!itical effect.
In this connection I wish to put
tay frienda on notice that there is
an element iu the politics of the
county that arc fighting me with
wreckless desperation and, judging
the future by the past and present,
will resort to almost anything to
encompass my defeat. The people
are catching on to the game, how¬
ever, and when the 15th of July
rolls around, unless I am very much
deceived, will show their con¬
demnation of such underhand
methods as have been injected into
this campaign, for the people of
Lincoln have ever been and will
ever be known for their love of fair
play and their utter contempt for
anything that savors of unfairness.
Very respectfully,
Jas. II. Boykin.
