Some of my friends have advised, that I explain to the public the cause of my declining to endorse Captain W. C. Davis' petition for a majorship, and agreeable to their wishes I take pleasure in doing so. Before the second call for volunteers was made Colonel D. W. Brailsford, who has done much for the militia, applied for a commission, and I with others, gavs him my endorsement. Later the second call was made, and Captain Davis was an applicant for the position of Major, and I was so licited to endorse him. Having al ready endorsed Colonel Brailsford I could not consistantly endorse anoth er; in declining to do so, I made the explanation at the time. I therefore think it unjust in anybody making political capital out of this matter and I hope this explanation will be satis factory to those who do not under stand it. There is another matter I will mention in connection with the matter of manufacturing campaign stories to damage me, it is the report that some malicious person is cir culating to the effect that I used whiskey to further my election. There is not the slightest foundation for such a report. If I cannot be elect ed withoutliquor I will not be elect ed with it. Then another report is, that I devoted my energies to secur ing the election of Mr. Norton for Congress; this is also false because I had my own election interests at stake and I hope the people will not think me foolish enough to jeopardise my own election for that of another. I worked for myself and made no effort to influence a vote against any other candidate not running for the same position. These late-day reports are not worthy of credence. Respectfully, Loris APPLT. VOTE RIGHiT. The sovereign- voters of this State are called upon to again go to the ballot box to exercise their choice for State and county officers, and we sin cerely hope that in this second and perhaps the final contest for this year, every voter will lay aside preju dice and passion and vote for men who, in his honest judgment, is best qualified to serve in the positions to be filled. It must be remembered in casting a vote the voter is entrusted with a grave responsibility; it is with the voter to make a good or a bad gov ernment. If men -chosen to .till public positions who are qualified,the probability is that the government can be run intelligently and econom ically, but if men are chosen simply because of their personal popularity without having the necessary qualifi cation, the government cannot be run satisfactorily and is bound to result in extravagance and higher taxation. Go to the polls next Tuesday and se lect your men just as if you would select a man to aid you in your pri vate affairs. The man who will stop to think for a moment, that he is called upon to select men to adminis ter the affairs of this government, not alone honestly, but with that busi ness care necessary to insure success, will often lay aside his personal pref erence and vote for a man whom he personally would vote against if the other man measured up to his stand ard. Such a voter has the interest of his country at heart, and if all voters were like him there would be less complaint of miismnanagment in pub lic affairs. The primary system was placed here to give every white man an op portunity to have a voice in the selec tion of those who are to manage the government, and if the people do not exercise that privilege properly it is their own fault. If we fill our public places with incompetent men we have no right to complain, because the op portunity is given us to select compe tent material. We have often voted for men whom we did not have a per sonal liking for, simply because we believed those men were better quali fied for the positions they sought, and could do better service than their opponents. No merchant would se lect a bookkeeper to manage his books because he liked the man per sonally; he would look into his qual ifications and it would not matter if the applicant was his own son, if that for the work he would give the place to another; so it is with the farmer and so it should be with the voter. Qualification and merit should be up permost in the mind when you go to the polls next Tuesday. The race for Governor has come down between Ellerbe and Feather stone as we predicted weeks ago it would. The people are acquainted with the issues. Ellerbe represents the dis pensary issue with all such amend ments as will make the law a good; sound and practicable tetaperance measure, while Featherstone repre sents what his followers call prohibi tion by eliminating the beverage feat ure from the dispensary law. It would be useless for as to argue this question at this time because the people already know our views. The question for the people to determine is, can Mr. Featherstone, if elected, carry out his views with a General Assembly overwhelmingly in favor of the dispensary? If they come to the conclusion that he cannot, then they should ask themselves if Governor Ellerbe is not entitled to a second term. These are matters for the peo ple, and we want every Democrat in the county to go out next Tuesday and vote as his conscience dictates. It is with sincere regret that our Clarendon candidate for Secretary of State was not successful, but he went over the State and made a host of friends who will stand him in good stead in the future. Captain Brad ham takes his defeat like a gallant soldier, there is no sulking with him. The people must now choose between Col. D. H. Tompkins of Greenwood, the present incumbent, and Col. M. R. Cooper of Colleton, a member of the State Board of Control. Col. Tompkins has as his chief clerk a Clarendon man who has done service for the county and who has the high esteem of his people, Hon. L. M. Ra gin. If Tomkins is re-elected Clar endon will be represented in that of fice as it now is, but should Tomp kins fail of election the natural sup position is that Ragin, our Clarendon friend, will go out with him, as it is customary for the chief clerk to be an officer's confidential man and he is usually brought with him. The race for Superintendent of Ed ucation has come down to two, J. J. McMahan of Richland and W. A. Brown of Marion; both of these gen tlemen are good men, Clarendon hav ing honored Mr. McMahan with her choice in the first race, will no doubt stand by him in the second. Then we wfll have to vote for an Adjutant and Inspector General. The two contestants are Major E. M. Blythe of Greenville and Col. J. W. Floyd of Kershaw. Blythe received a very handsome vote in this county in the first primary and we do not hesitate to say that if he is elected he will give a good account of himself. He is a first class military man, strict ly sober and a pious gentleman. Last but not least, comes the Rail road Commissioner, and the contest ants for this prize are C. W. Garris of Colleton and Henry R. Thomas of Sumter. Garris in the first primary was Clarendon's choice by fine vote.

C., Sept. 3.--The battle of bullets is probably over, but the era of crimination and recrimi nation is apparently upon us, and the battle of wind and paper is yet to be fought by the politicians. It seems to be almost universally admit ted "that something is rotten in Den mark;" but all efforts to locate the personality of the responsibilhty do not arrive at the same ends. Inas much, however, as every one seeks to satisfy himself, in a measure, as to where the real responsibility lies, it might be well to recall some perti nent facts. The staff of the army may have had a finger in the pie, as much of the wvork done by it clearly shows the disastrous effects of politi cal influence in its control over the selection of officers for the volunteer army. The staff of the army consists of these department-heads: adjutant general, inspector-general, quarter master-general, subsistence-general, surgeon-general and paymaster-gen eral, who were in direct and immedi ate charge of the health, comfort, fare and efficiency of our patriotic volun teers. Most of the appointments made for the war were assigned to these departmaents, and the result is known in part to the people of Amer ica. An examination into the indi vidual merits of these appointments shows that the most of them were brought about by virtue ('?) of politi cal pulls. A few instances may suffice to make this statement clear. Maj. W. A. Wadsworth, who was made chief quartermaster, is the son (or relative) of a New york Congressman; quar termaster E. E. Roblins resigned a seat in Congress to accept that posi tion; and among the assistant quar termasters, with the rank of captain, may be found the son of ex-Senator Mitchell, of Oregon; A. S. Bickham, whose father is proprietor of th~e Day ton (Ohio) Journal; L. C. Criscowi, Candidates to be Voted for Next Tuesday. The following, not having received a majority, will be voted for in the second primary, which takes place Tuesday, September 13th inst.: State Officers-Governor, W. H. Ellerbe and C. C. Featherstone; Sec retary of State, D. H. Tompkins and M. R. Cooper; Superintendent of Ed ucation, J. J. MIcMaban and W. A. Brown; Adjutant and Inspector General, E. M. Blythe and J. W.
