TO TI1E PEOPLE OF THE

South Carolina : I never expected
to become a candidate for
Congress, as mv political ambi

people of Clarendon, who have
never refused to honor me. The

of my friends. I dosire,
therefore, to announce that
I will be a candidate for Con

It is not to be expected for
many years at least that the 6th
district will secure another Representative
who wifl rival in brilliancy.
tact and force the Hon
John L. McLaurin, but I can at
least claim tnaf I am in thorough
accord with him upon all national
nnp<fions, and that if elected my
personal and political relations
with our Senators will enable us
all to work in perfect harmony
lor the interests of South Carolina.
I have for several years kept
close track of all national legislation
and I believe that our Uepresentafives
are a credit to our
State, and I also firmly believe
that the attitu e of our Senators
recentiy upon the tariff question
marks a new era in politics which
will be productive of great good
to the South.
We have been. preaching for
years that money and not the
tariff was the paramont issue.
The old political hacks in both
parties have forced the tariff as
an issue, and to lillman and McLaurin
is due the credit, more
than any two men in the United
Stater /of eliminating the tariff as
an issue and forcing the next
campaign to be pitched upon an
issue that will make the Democratic
parly triumphant.
My views were recently expressed
in a public correspondence,
and I shall take occasion
to more fully expound them in the
campaign. I am a linn believer
in the doctrine of k4equal rights
to all and special privi'iges to
none," a principle of the Reform
Movement which all must recognize
as just. I am glad to feel
that the factional divisions, which
heretofore existed, are now a
thing of the past, and that the
people have been educated to

lot box.
Many of the causes of local
dissension have been eliminated
during the past few years; the
divisions are now upon broad lines
of national policy,aud the people
should be sure to have Representative^
in thorough accord with
present conditions. Some of
those who were opposed to us on
local issues are with us on national
issues.
There are a number of good
men in the race, if I am elected
I shall esteem k a high honor,
and if deteated shall not "sulk

Dr. Penjamin Franklin wrote
that he received a very useful
lesson from Cotton Mather.
He said to his son. '-The last
time I saw your father Was in
1724. On taking my leave, he
showed me a shorter way out of
the house, through a narrow passage,
which was crossed by a beam
over-head.
We were still talking as I with !
drew he accompanying me behind,
and I turning towards him;
when he said hastily, "stoop!,
stoop!"
1 did not understand him till
1 felt my head hit against the
beam. i
He was a man who never miss
ed an occasion of giving instruction;
and upon this he said to me:'
"You are young and h^ye the
world before you, "stoop as you
go through it, and you will miss
many hard thumps*" This advice
thus beat into my head, has frequently
been of use to me; and I
often think ol it when I see pride
mortified,and misfortunes brought
upon people by carrying their
heads too high."
