We have a few bales we would be pleased to dispose of.

These latter day politicians are ca- pable of resorting to all sorts of schemes in order to win votes, They will stoop to any kind of misrepre- sentation, in the hope of deceiving the men who hold the ballot in their hands, As an example of this we see that ¢n effort is being made to drag the Florida Christian Advocate into the present campaign. and make it ap- pear that this paper is taking sides in the contest, An article from the pen of Rev, zar Wilson, one of our contribut- ing editors, is being used frecly as campaign matter, making it appear that what he wrote several weeks ago was prepared for the contest now on in the second primary, in the inter- est of a certain candidate; and fur- ther. that this paper is making an appeal to the Methodist candidate to support the Methodist candidate in the present race for superinten- dent of public instruction. This mis- representation we denounce as unfaiy ofticial tactics, such as will upon those who resort to it. We doubt if Brother Wilson had this particular contest, or any other as to that, in his mind at the time the article in question was written, for it was published before the first recoil of ontests similar to the present one much reference to one as to the other, heing fought out, and had The politicians have garbled Broth- er Wilson's article, and a particular paragraph has been taken from it county | farm thm Polk con or poot n tuken care of, | | e had w county farm, | bt it was abandoned | Polks in tary for la ot patroniage just conldnt poor enough Polk | Connty to 2o to the poor tarm oflice of Stan would scem that to run for the! ttendent of pub- risky piece One of the candidates, Col, Suwanee uper instru ‘ business Wood, ot died be- fore the first primary, and another, Hon.
