Wednesday July 20. - - -1898 .JTST A SAMPLE. ! We sometimes hear it said that many of the very best men of tbe State will not allow their names usea as candidates for office. When we consider upon what a low plane our politics is condcuted, it should not be surprising that political life is distasteful to a man of high sentiments and full of self-respect. No LTgh minded and truly courageous man wants to place himself in a position to be insnlted, because he knows before hand that he will not suffer ii to go unresented. We had hoped that the toue of our campaigns would improve, and while there is seme evidence of an improvement, there crops out now and then some of the disgusting features of the campaigns of the last six or seven years. The troth is that the better element of our people have become so thoroughly sickened with the so-called discussion of public issues that they seldom read the reports of them, and very few people take interest enough to attend the meetings. On last Wed nesday for the first time in two or three week?, we read the report of the speeches, and here is a sample of what i3 given to the intelligent voters of the State, npon which they are expected to decide which one of the candidates is the most competent to fill the office to which he aspires. It is taken from the report in the Colnm bia State: "Commissioner Tbomas was rich, rare and racy in referring to his opponents. Barney Evant, he said, was somebody's ape, and simply imitatid a senatorial campaign which defeated Bubber Johnny. He did not have time to waste 01 imitations. Garris had b?astea of his record in the legislature. Tkereistne record, said he, about which he has been profound!y and strangely silent, and tbat is as dispensary inspector, and I call upon him to-day to make public his record. ^Applause) This looked like hot shot. Mr. Garris was up in a twinkling with this reply: "Thanks be to God you have called on me, and I'll do it. (Applause.) Mr. Evans minced no worfls in nis reply. "You have had a trade," he said, "from one who is unworthy to ba noticed. I hare never been guilty of denying my birthright and nerer refused to meet the tears of my country. This creature said I wis an ape. I win prove him a liar. For false statements and dodging he is the most artful one it has ever been my misfortane to come in contact with. When he tells yon he saved you money by lowering the cotton and the fertilizer rates he uttered what is not true. He does nothing but draw bis salary, and it has even been intimated that be got a salary on tbe outside." Thomas?"Oh, you know that's false." Here are men running for a high Slate cffice calling each other liars, aud tbe public are supposed not ODly to be very highly entertained, bnfc very much instructed as to their resDective fitness to fill the office. But this was not the only "exciting incident" of the Darlington meeting. "The spicest incident was reserved for the last daring Congressman Xorten's speech," says the reporter. Here is the dignity with which the candidates discussed the Itve and burning national questions: 4<ilr. Norton took the ground that Ellerbe dare not charge him with lying on him, but that he was trying to deceivc the people by insinuation. inmrvQ/1 vilh fhi* XillWi JUUI^WU IV AW V ff ?kM VMW inquiry: "Do tou mean to say that I lied"?* Mr. Norton's reply was cot audible, owing to tbe cheering of the crowd, an* Mr. Ellerbe flashed out: ?,If yon will corns outside of this bouse and say so, I will frail you down to a stand at once. (Great cheering)." When Mr. Norton could be heard he was saying that truth and honor stood above life with him and Ellerbe would And it The report fails to disclose anything about a light after the meeting adjourned. Perhaps the most unfortunate phase of such stuff as the above is that it takes, with a considerable element of voters. It Trill be noticed that more insulting the language the more prouounced the cheering and applause. The Spanish-American war is making great questions for this ctnntry, but nowhere in the report of the ?pecches of ihese coigressional candidates do we fiad reference made to them. When the people cheer and applaud candidates for calling each other liars. an:t secjm to measure a candidate's qualification for office by his vocabulary of coarse epithets, it must be expected that mauy good men will hesitate to enter polities. m i ??- ?? 'S-'" The News and Courier is doing the South a great service in showing that it is really cooler in the South in the summer months than in tbe North during the same month?. Now we kopc that the News and Courier will expose the non-serno of taking the j troopa to New York to board trans-1 oris. We can not believe that the Government would be gailty of such needless waste of money, but a dispatck stated a day or two ago that tke troops atTampa and other points in the South would be taken to New York and Newport New3 to board transport*, and that the delay and trouble in boarding would then be { avoided. Is it not about time for the authorities at Washington to have learned the trutk about Port Koval? a t * Tuesday, the 26th of July. That's the day the candidates for State offijr ces^will speak in Winnsboro. One year ire forgot to publish the date, and vre do so now for fear it might escape tii. IT is undesirable to .say anything just now to arbtise sectional feelings but we cannot resist ffcf observation that, from the ftehivior of the 6th Mas^acbusetta regiment in Charleston, tkese men must be the descendants of Sherman's bummers and Beait Butler's beasti. WHY HE IS SOT A CAXEIDATE. Mr. Editor: In my last communication, I took oecasion to state that I wou'd not be a candidate this year for any position in the gift of the people. I also stated that I would perhaps write a letter in the near fatnre in reference to my candidacy in the past and my political a^per?.tions for the future. Early in the spring of 1892 I concluded to ofler as a candidate for c:nnty auditor. In that contest I had four competifors, Messrs. G?orge Moore, S. R. Rutland, W. J. Elliott and J. L. Kicbmona. Mr. Richmond, as your many readers are aware, is an ex-Confederate soldier and a one-legged man, vFho lost his limb fighting for principles that will ever be cherished by loyal Democrats. After the present inenxbent entered the race I saw no other alternative than to make the race in order to enlarge my circle of acquaintances. I am gratiged to say that the associations wich my competitors in that contest were both pleasant and cordial, and that I came out of that contest with none of tho feeliogs of persona! animosity toward my opponents that re so of leu engendered among lival candidates. I accepted the result with perfect acquiescence. In 189G I offered as a candidate for county treasurer, aid had for my competitors Messrs. Hugh Wylie, Gus's Rabb and Capt. ilcMeekin. The present incumbent, like Mr. Richmond, is an ex-confederate soldier, who bad rendered gallant services in ?o rv/3 a Will" UCbWCCU IUC uia.v,a auu v. large circle of friends thronghout the county. When I made up nsy mind to run both ia 1892 and 1896, I did not know nhat those old soldiers were going to o:ffer again. Wh"n I heard they were going to run I was confident that we could conduct the canvass ;on an elevated plane, leaving those associated thereiu entertaining as good feelings toward each other as ttt? hod twoirinnc In ihft rs.fie. Mv as n V <UMV4 J/iVI *V v?v ?? w , sociations io the last as well as in the first canvass were of snch a nature as to strengthen the bonds of friendship that them existed. I came out of that race as I did the first one I entered, with the best of feelings toward my competitors and good will toward all men. It is true that I cherishcd for fmm mrtnlhs thft fnr.d rteinsion that I might; be elected. But mce'ing with defeat I carried no indisposition ;o discharge the duties devolviug upon one who manifests a lively interest in an economical administration of oar country and State governtn-nt.s Mr. Editor, some may woncler why I have writien this piece concerning my past candidacy and future intentions. First, because I am not a candidate Second, because some of say friends in different sections of the county asked me during tbe past winter and spring whether or not I was sroinff to offer again this year. I intimated"to some tbat I would perhaps announce myself as a candidate for a county office. They signified their intention of voting for me. I am as much indebted to them as if I had offered and been the recipient of their support. I would ra'her wait and let other candidates offer. I do not like to ran in every canvass. I prefer ta persue the qaiet even tenor of my way and run again some time in the fiiture. If I was a candidate I would not refer to the disadvantages under which I have labored for fear some of your readers might think I was trying to touch a sympathetic chord in the popular minds of the people. Smh is not the case hence the reason. r F qm riAf 1 uaic nilllvu UilO n utiv . ..v> a candidate. I am very much indebted to the people of my community, and also to those throughout ihc county where I hare received tnch a good vote. To me, politically, ti.e retro spect cannot be but gratifying. In 1892 I received one huni!i\ d and seventy votes in the country. I received one hundred and nine at Feasterville. In 1896 I received about three hundred and forty votes, and received one handced and thirty-t^o from the members of my club. There was f?ur candidates in 1896 for treasurer. We polled something over twelve hundred votes, tt"? yoa see my vote was a little over < fon-to of the whole uumber cast. is very gratifying to have received too sapport of those with whom I have been most intimately associated. I am very much indebted t? the paople for their support and interest they have manifested in mv success. Whether or not I am ever elected to any office I shall always uery highly appreciate the obligations under which they thereby placed me. I shall always do whatever I can to accelerate the progress of my fellowman and thereby advance the prosperity of the people of our county and State. If I am never elacltd to anv position I shall from time to time take occasion to advocate whatever measures I believe will be instrumental in proraot ing the welfare of the people. 1 have always held my own individual advancement in subordination to the public welfare, believinsr as I do in the everlasting principles of Democracy, the greatest good to the greatest number will be most imstruBiental in bringing about a spirit of harmony and good will so essential to the maintenance of the Democratic parly and a successful administration oi our government. T KfiltftTTA trn ?1 IM Jjui. uuiiui j jl uu;? vriavv hw ^ the dawn of an era of universal good will politically. In conciution a'Jo\r me to return thanks to those who have voted for me in the past. I have aothing bnt words of kindness and &ood will for those who have never yoted lor me, believing as I do that many of them will vote for me in the event of my future candidacy. I am sure they could not vote for any one who would appreciate their support and confidence more than myself. Ti ustiag that you will publish this, 1 am with best wish?s for your auccss in connection with that of the people our county and State. Yours truly, Kobt. R. JefFares. Jn1v 13. '98.

This seems ; strange; especially when they were whooping up war so loudly only a few : weeks ago.

Just like the farmer, don't know he lias got that t.?x to pay back t'ais fall.

Why should they not have a showiDg despite the endorsement by the Democratic Si ate Convention of the dispensary, which was altogether unwarranted from any specific action taken in the county convention. It is charged by some tha: prohibition does not prohibit ?nd the cost to the State will be too great to enforce the law. Well all laws are costly to the taxpoyer. Let the Slate get oul of the whiskey question, and if whiskey is to be sold give the right to her citizens to sell undej the option of each county, with the disDcnsarv restrictions which is pro ridcd for under til? constitution.
