Strong Game
Summary
The Johnsonites of the Mt. Pleasant District are deceiving men into signing a recommendation for Gov. Swann to appoint a conservative as Register. They ask men if they are opposed to negro suffrage and negro equality, which elicits a positive response. They then ask them to sign a paper that contains no heading. After the paper is filled with signatures, they add the heading to the paper indicating support of the recommendation.
