The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, August 20,1902. JOHNSTONE FOR THE SENATE, Ceaeeded By All That Be Will Sola Secoad Race. He Has Steadily Gained in the Campaign Now About to Close?Something of the Life of this Remarkable Man, Who, by Ability of Highest Order, Has Forged so Rapidly to the Front. The purpose of our Democratic primary is to give the people an opportunity to judge for themselves of the character, ability and fitness of ] I those aspiring to position, so that the , voter may be able to cast his ballot ^ intelligently. , In the convass now about to close in the State for the United States Senatorship, there are practically ( no difference in platform. The question to be decided by the people is [ that of personal fitness. Who of the six, aspiring to this position, is most capable of representing Sonth Carolina * in the United States Senate with * credit to himself and honor to his State t There is no doubt that since the j canvass began, George Johnstone, of Newberry, has gained remarkable * ? * s. L ? 1_ 1 _ I strengtn ana m&ae moB& iavorsuie i impressions ea the rotors, In fact { It is conceded that all of ths ctodi- ^ dates, he has gained most, this being ^ admitted on all hands. ^ It may be well to inquire into the ^ record and to study something of the g life of this man, who, by sheer force Q of character and ability of the high- c est order, has forged so rapidly to j the front. ' George Johnstone is a son of the late Chancellor Job Johnstone, whose opinions rank in literary ability and legal erudition with those of the | greatest chancellors and judges the j State has ever produced. The son | v bis inherited in great measure the intellect of the father and that intellect has had the advantage of thorough training in the best schools of this country and Europe. In 1877 he was elected to the Legislature, in which body he served for eight stcceesive years, retiring voluntarily. I In 1890 he was elected to congress from the Third District. He was chairman of the committee on Privileges and Elections, from which Mr. Crisp was elected speaker, and Mr. Johnstone was one to whom Mr. Crisp looked constantly for assistance. No man can show a cleaner record. Few can show a more remarkable record. No man has sought more to do what he could in the interest of and for the welfare of his people. In times like these there is a demand for men, not time servers; statesmen, not politicians. There are momentous questions to be settled, and above all j do we need men who are able to j grapple with these questions in the j National Congress, and to do so in- j J tellipentlv and with a wisdom and , " O I foresight born of the statesman. The j people of the State are now in the ( enjoyment of . eir sober judgment, they are not torn by party strife and factional feeling. The appeal is made to this sober judgment in the selection they will be called upon to make for the highest office in their gift. It is their duty to measure up the candidates by the standard which every true Caroliaion should set for such a position; character, fitness, intellect, ability to stand up shoulder to shoulder, arm to arm, hand to band, intellect to intellect, with any member of that body. The friends of Col. Johnstone have never considered bim a politician, and do not now press his claims on that ground, but rather as a broadminded statesman who is able to grapple with iUft Jftw on/^ moaf UiC UUC3UUUQ U1 IIUO uaj nuu UJUUU viiv issues and solve them intelligently; one who has always stood for the people's interests and those principles he believed to be right and just, though for the time they may not have been popular. In his old congressional district l tThird) he received an ovation at each meeting. In the beginning of this article, it wae stated that since the canvass of the State begun, George Johnstone has gained mnch more rapidly than any of his competitors, and it is absolutely certain that he will be in the second race with one of them, and that he will lead in the first primary on the 26th. The following are only a few of the many opinions which have been expressed by the newspapers of the State, and are confirmation of what is said above: "The man who made the most votes by this trip was Col. George Johnstone of Newberry. Every one fell in love with him, and he made many friends here."?Georgetown Times. "The self-reliant political faith of JVbnstone, clean cut and true to Democratic principles, without fancy trimmings or demagogic catches and withal the conviction that here is a man who would represent South Carolina according to the dictates of his }wn conscience, rather than the understudy of another, have made a strong impression on the people imong whom he has appeared. He a in the front rank of Senatorial possibilities, and there is only bright promise to South Carolina in such a prospect."?Charleston Evening Post. "Col. George Johnstone from all re>orts has made a splendid record, lis speeches are clear, logical, to the >oint and easily understood by the 1 11- M "CI x> jeopie geuerauy, ? fivui wo x icbo. I ' ''The newspapers seem to agree hat of all the Senatorial candidates 3oL George Johnstone is making the >eBt headway at the meetings. And his is true. Col. Johnstone's speeches ire bound to make a fine impression >n all who hear them, as they are the itterances of a statesman?one who ias gone to the bottom of public [uestionB."?Sumter Herald. "Not only the newspapers, but the >ther Senatorial candidiates, say that >f all their competitors, Col. George lohnstone has made the most headray, and that he is the man that they tare individually to beat. In other rords, each candidate figures it out hat the race lies between himself and 3ol. Johnstone. This condition can be explained in rat one way. It has been brought ibont by the sheer ability of the man. Wherever he has appeared he has ton distinction. His speeches in tome cases have wrung approbation rem those who otherwise would have rone over bag and baggage to some ?ther fellow without thinking. Col. lohnstone, as the Herald says, is a itatesman?one who has gone to the xcttom of public questions. He mows things and if elected to the Jnited States Senate, he would be ible at once to take rank with the nen in the socalied 'inner circle' of ihe Senate, composed of such men as Spooner, Piatt of Connecticut, Allison md a few others from the Republicans, and welcomed into fellowship oy Democrats like Morgan of Ala3ama, Bacon of Georgia and others. Be is able to place his beloved State, for he does love SouthCarolina, in the position she has occupied in public life. South Carolina should send statesmen, not politicians, to the [Jnited States Senate. Col. Johnstone is a statesmen, and an able one at that."?Greenwood Index. Sow's This.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man?that is the order of a woman's preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman. Even that greatest of all jewels, health, is often ruined in the strenuous efforts to make or save the money to purchase them. If a woman will risk her health to get a coveted gem, then let her fortify herself against the insiduous consequences of coughs, colds and bronchial affections by the regular use of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup. It will promptly arrest consumption in its early stages and heal the affected lungs and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system. It is not a cure-all, but it is a certain cure for coughs, colds and all bronchial troubles. You can get this reliable remedy at Kaufmann's drug store.

The little daughter of the house watched the minister who was making a visit very closely and finally sat down beside him and began to draw or her slate. "What are you doing?" asked the clergyman. "I'm making your picture," said the child. The minister sat very still, and the child worked away earnestly. Then she stopped and compared her work with the original and shook her head. "I don't like it much," she said. "'Tain't a great deal like you. I think I'll put a tail to it and call it a d?g'" To My Friends. It is with joy I tell you what Kodol did for me.

A Boy Who Bid Sis Duty. A gentleman went into a fancy shop one day to buy something. It was early, and the shopkeeper's little boy and he were alone in the house. The shopkeeper had to go upstairs to get his cash box in order to procure some change, but before doing so he went into the little room next to the shop and whispered to the boy: "Watch the gentleman that he doesn't steal anything," and, bringing him out, sat him on the counter. As soon as the shopkeeper returned the child sang out: "Pa, he didn't steal anything. I watched him."? London Tit-Bits. Just Look at Her.
