Hfi, *-8oatb Carolina baa oarer bad a great
orator or uateaman wbo eoold bare done
what Hampton did." Hampton'a power as a
leader waa doe to ble own magnetlam and to
tbe etrenmetancce which arooced Ute people
la ieapereUuii. They seeded a leader, and
Hampton was eqoal to tbe oeeaaloo.
Bat be wee neither a eUleeman nor aa ore

LETTER FROM MR. 0RA7D0N
Another Interesting Chapter la the Campaign
Literature.
Abbeville. 8. C.. April SI, I9U3. .
Editor 1'reea aod Banner: J
Pleaae allow me apace In your column* to "
reply to tbe letter* of Meaara. McCalla and
Aiken. 1 have no objection whatever to tbelr
declining my propoelllon toaettle, In a friendly
way, wblcb one of na abould make the race
from tbla county, but 1 cannot, and will not,
allow my poaltlon to be militated. The only
in mil attention to lu the let
trr of Mr. MdDalla la tbat I did not propose for
ibe May Convention to order a primary, but f
that the tbree pf oa ebon Id ktm i<> bave a 1
primary, and merely set tbe Convention to
fix tbe time and appoint tbe manage ra ao aa
to inaare absolute fairneaft.
An to Mr. Aiken's letter I deal re to say tbat
hla question, "No otber candidate aball announce,
we will bold a primary eleotlon, and
all of you muat aupporl tbe winner*." la not
justified by anything tbat I said, nor can It
be tortured out of any language uaed In my
letter. I carefully refrained from aaylng anytblug
In regard to any one supporting tbe
winner, but simply proposed tbat tbe one of
aa reeelvlng the largest number of votes
should make tbe race, and the other two
should retire. Neither did I propose to keep
any one elae out ol the race.
"He either fears hla fate too much or bla deserts
are small, wbo darea tut pat It to the
touch, to win or lose It all."
Wm. N. Graydon.
