ORGANIZE! ORGANIZE!!
We call upon the democrats of the county to take active measures in order to form a perfect organization of the party. We pointed out the necessity of doing so immediately after the election last year, but our warning voice was unheeded. We trust that it will not be the case again. With the proper exertion and unanimity we can always carry the county. Lowndes is democratic beyond all doubt, and had we but been half as active as our opponents in the struggle which is just over, we should have to boast of a majority of from fifty to one hundred in the county. Let us rally then at once. Strike while the iron is hot! We know our strength, and if properly wielded, it is invincible. A meeting should be immediately held in order to devise ways and means for the campaign of the coming year.—
What say you democrats? If aye, we will appoint an early day for the meeting.
