People pf uil the Third Congres

ested for the last few months In the
report that A. H. Dngnall. oho of the
bent known members of the Anderson
bar, would'make the race for .congress.
Sometime ago Mr. Dagnall admitted
that he was giving the race serious
consideration and might run arw? sinm
that time it has been generally pre
sumed that he wbuld be found cohtest
. ing for the seat,, along with. Mr. Al
ken. Mr. Dominlck and Capt. Evans
HdWOTar. Mr. nilrnall uualaf/laiu to!d
The Intelligencer that hi- had" defi
nitely decided not to run, and .the
the following is what he had to say on
the subject. >
"After carefully considering lhc
matter, I {have decided^ not j td be a
candidate for congres at tijis. time.
Some of diy friends bare tfeen'^khsa^
enough toi tell me that my} chances
are good abd'that I should now make
the race. No-one can foretell thentrat
como br a political campaign, and I
do not muan by my declcion to stay
out or politics that 1 am afraid of de
feat. My ^preference is to remain in
private life until-factionalism is dead
in South Carolina.- it would ^oe-tet?'
kind of me to attempt to go to con

and featuring worthless garden, seed

Mr. Dagnall facetiously said:
"At a later time, when factionalism
is oc .thc wans,' and whnn government
