.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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Young corn is growing nicely
where it lias been worked up to

general thing, very good. Where
it has been worked good and is
free of grass it is fine. We notice
in some places though that
"General Green" is setting there,
and you may rest assured that it J
will take some pretty good gene[

if the rainy weather continues
much longer. Cotton on sandy
land has commenced to turn

It scorns to be a little laziness on the
part of a farmer as he will try aud
clean his crop even if it does not pay

been quite an outcome in the German

were in prison within the city. I am I
anxions to see the news from there
now, for I do not think they can stand
much of a siege from land and sea.
Some think tbat the war it virtually
over, but I am not one of them. I
believe Spain will sacrifice lier whole
dominion to save her false honor. She
sees that she is certainly doomed and

we are after making conquesi, as the
Monroe doctrine has been set aside by
car government, and it would not surprise
mo much if the war is not carried
even into Spain itself ff tlie war is
ipt soon closed.
I am very sorry to sec the lethargy
among our people in raiding troops for
the Sccoud Regiment. Is it so that
onr people have lost their patriotism in
a few years, or have they come to lbs

I am at a loss to know what issues
are being discusscd by our State candidates,
for we are only advised as a
general thing of the little personal
tilts they have with each o'.her. I was
in hopes the campaign would be on a
high plane and be of educational benegt
to our people at large.
I am glad to see tbe prohibition banner
unfurled upon each field. 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. Candidates
are good for sore eyes in this
section. They must be laying in ammuoiij'.u
for the campaign. Not
enough out yit. Come on, mon, and
naake'tiuses lively. It is all a lottery.
Who knows btu you may be the lucky
man! This may'be the opportunity

in diameter, ?5 feet deep and curbed
Willi a gaivacizea pipe; a steam pump
bas been working it for several hours
but cannot pump it dry. The supply
is inexhaustible and is just the thing
for a wind-mill or steam pump. They
answer for house wells as a band
pump can be used. Several more
wells arc to be drilled here and it is
thought the one fcr the Ridgcwav
Ginning and Milling Company will
supply more water that the engine can
use. This is just the thing for our
neighbors at Winnsboro who need
good water and a larger supply.
Dr. Hoover has opened an office at
Longtown, at the office formerly used

benefit and convenience to the people
of that section.
