SMITH TO THE SENATE Some Good Reasons Why He Should Represent South Carolina in That Distinguished Body. Some of the politicians have pharged that Hon. E. D. Smith has used the Southern Cotton Association as a means of riding Into office, but the thinking man, the farmer (the real pro ducer of wealth), and even the business man, must admit that the work done by E. D. Smith throughout the South, and in South Carolina particularly, has brought more nim ney to the farmer, the merchant, the doc tor, the lawyer and to every other class, than that of any other man who has espoused the cause of the South. His work has brought results in the increased price of cotton which Mr. Smith and his associates are largely responsible for. bringing about, has made the people of South Carolina-all of them more prosperous than they have ever been before. Mr. Smith attended,the Uln versity of Sout~bet-rolina, and is an alqinwda' of Wofford Col 'le receis ed his master's degree at Vanderbilt University, the great Methodist institution of the South. He comes of distinguished an cestors, being a brother of the lamented Bishop A. Coke Smith. Mr. Smith is an orator of na tional repute, and would be able to hold his own with the "giants" of the Senate. With Smith in the United States Senate, South Carolina would again come into hor own and be heard from by the rest of the country. Mr. Smith has a world of energy; he would'not only hold his own on the floor of the Senate, but his energetic work in the committee room would count for South Carolina. *Every farmer should realize that he has something at stake in the second primary. The question is whether your can didate will win- or be defeated. With your help he will win by a. very large majority, but if you fail to do your duty and remain at home on the day of election, of course he may loose. He is your candidate, becausee he is one of you. H e is a farmer like yourself. He plants corn and cotton just as you do. Your interests are his interests, be cause when the price of corn and-cotton and other farm pro ducts goes down, -It hurts him just as much as It hurts you. Buit what does Evans'cate about the price of farm productsl He k wyer and the legal repre ~ehtahr~of one of the largest 'totions in the world. His i~t~stsare . all against 'the ~*ter. In fact, he does not ~ wthe needs of the farmer has no way of disedverinlg e pwas l11bup in A=( Dy tne way, ta1nen whe one of your number has ie an* honest living on the farp"all 1 of his life and by the sweat of his brow and the work of is brain placed himself front an4 foremost among the leading, men of his state, don't you think it is your duty to support him I in a fight like this? If Smith can't win this fight because he is a f irmer, then why are you taking the trouble to educate your boys? Smith must win, and you must help him. Hon. George S. Legare, con gressman from Charleston, who is in Pickens, is urging the elec tion of Hon. E. D. Smith for congress. This, of itself, should insure him a large vote in Pick ens county, as Mr. Legare is very popular here, and a great deal of credence and weight is given to his utterances and opinions. A vote for E. D. Smith for congress does not mean any broken promises, but it means that the best interests of the state of South Carolina will be taken care of, and any legisla tion that will help the farming class, as a whole, will be per sistently urged. Bonham for Solijitor. To the Democratic Voters of Greenville County: Through the kindness of the voters throughout this circuit in the first primary election, I am in the second race for Solicitor. I desire to express my thanks for this generous support, and shall always be profoundly grateful for it. It has been suggaoted that I am too young for this office. I am twenty-five years old. At that age Hon. W. A. Barber was elected Attorney General of this State, and so distinguished himself that he was reelected without opposition. Hon. Thos. S. Sease of Spartanburg was elected Solicitor of the Seventh Circuit when he was younger than I am, and he is recognized as one of the ablest prosecuting officers In the State. Hon. Geo. Bell Timumerman was elected Solicitor of the Fifth Clrquit at the age of .twenty-three, and so well has he preformed his duties that he has just been reelected without opposition. I feel myself fully competent to discharge the~duties of the of fice with credit to .myself and with full iregard to the public in terest. That I am thus judged by the lgeople who know nie best is demonstrated by the fact that I led the ticket In my old home county, Anderson, and in the City of Anderson, where I form erly lived, and in the City of Greenville where I now live. I not only read law In the offlee of of lawyers of wide rep utation for legal learning and: who are among the leading law yers of the state, but I took a course In' the law school of the University of North Carolina, a.nd have for several years been In the actiye practice of my pro fession in Greenville. Againe xpressing my appre clation of the handsome vee given me, and assuling you of my gratefulness for -your vote and Influence at the coming election, I am, Yours very truly, Proctoi, A Bonhami. soLICrron BONHAI. The following editoral from the Anderson Intelligence will be read with Interest p'y thIW people of reenville whb kunw the secogd race d: !3from this circuit nr a - in this Issue a: of interest to the ti Ote county. a: 5j'Oendid race which Mr. er Bonham made in the entire dis- ta trict' )a an excellent tribute to al is ability and was something of V' I surprise to some of the older m o0UltVIcan who were fearful lest n: hi5 youth should militate against m iis. chances. There seems to be iowever, a growing demand for dc Ictive eriergetic and vigorous bt Prosecutin* ofilcers all over the at itate and the jesult is no surprise al ;0 those wb: know Mr. Bon iam's abui& and who are ac- w iuainted with is fearless Integ- m ity. . tc The handsome vote given him n the county, in spite of the act that Anderson county had owo able and thoroughly com- a, petent candidates in the race, B' vill doubtl es be an indication a] f an almost solid vote for him il n the secdnd primary. ti Reports from all over the dis- tI Prict point to an overwhelming e: victory for. him and his mother P ounty can be depended upon s ;o do her part loyally by him.- c Anderson Intelligencer. A vote for Evans is a vote 01 .gainst the farmers and a vote u ,hrown away, because Smith P z the -farmer's friend and he p vill win by a large majority. P e: The Philadelphia Record very properly insists that the tariff is N ;he chief issue in the present national campaign. It says: n 'The tariff is a tax, and no tax v hould be levied for private ben- a 3fit. No tax Rhould be levied xcept to provide a public reve- p rue. It is upon this one great st iuestion that the Democratic party rests its foundation, and n it is this principle that has re- ei nained true aid sound among )ll others that have been moot- gj -d and discarded. It is the one y %bsolutely living thing, for in Us solution will be found the r ;olution of the lesser issues li bhat vex our day and govern rnent." Farmer's Appreciation of E. 0. Smith ED.
