TO TI1E PEOPLE OF THE Oth Congressional District til South Carolina : I never expected to become a candidate for Congress, as mv political ambi lions have only been to serve the people of Clarendon, who have never refused to honor me. The numerous letters, however, which I a m# receiving, not only from the Gtli district, but other parts of -? /lAiieiima fh*>t if iiic luimiimmx ...u. .. . my clmy not to disappoint the expectations of my friends. I dosire, therefore, to announce that I will be a candidate for Con gress. 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 lw.i. /...nttw.limic lit llwt kill. >'HC I l?Cil v^/ll Vll'liviia lib HIV WM 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 in the tent," but eontiune to work for the platform of principles so gallantly maintained bv that greatest of leaders?William Jen niugs Bryan lies pec t fully, Daniel J.

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." 4 Fifty Years Ago.
