The Election Yesterday.
Yesterday the people of South Carolli
held their primary eleotlon for U. S. Senat*
State officers and County officers. Durli
the previous night and in the forenoi
ofthe day, rains fell, and the overbangli
clouds made the day as gloomy as any th
we ever have In this seotlcn. And In tl
afternoon a ceaseless rain fell.
It seemed that few of the soverlgns oou
exerelse thalr right to vote or express th<
choloe for officers and representatives.
While the friends of each candidate we
Interested In the election of their favorlti
yet the chief general Idterest seemed to ce
ter In the election of U. S. Senator and Uo
"ernor of the State.
The campaign ofthe State from county
county Is notouly Instructive, but It Is 1
ftuentlal in glvlrg direction to the votes
the people. For instance, at the beglnnli
of the campaign the vote for Rhett, In o
oplnloo, would have been small In the t
c)udtry. Little was known of him and pre
udlee agalust Chaileeton would have b
Its Influence in keeping votes from Rhe
Of coarse It is not known to us at lea
how tbe candidates will stand at the oou
otK, but our testimony would tfe that to t
competitors are due a large share of t
votes which went to Rbett yetteiday.
For U.S. Senator tbe campaign was run i
a different plane, though characterized I
something of the same animus as that 1
Governor of tbe State.
Vigorous war was made against tbe D
mocracy of Khett, and such specltlcatlo
were made as In themselves disproved tl
assertions of bis enemies. Excepting on
In charges as to tbe oontents of a letter
ibe President tbe antidote went along wi
the poison, and accomplished tbe opposl
effect from that which was Inter ded. La
terly tbe obarges as to tbe contents of tl
letter were disproved. Tbe dlsproval of tl
oorrectuess of the cnarges as iu iue wuwu
ofRbett's letter to the President, appeali
lo the unbiased voter who may bave ft
like righting the wrong which bad been dot
to a good man. The worth of this man, at
tbe high conduct of bis campaign were fa
tors In Rbett'# favor. Speaking for this e
ltor, hlu vote wsi cbacecd from one Of tl
other candidates to Rbett. _
In tbe Governor's race. It 6eemcd to l
that the friends of Ansel, relied more c
their ability to deprive Blease of any vestas
of repntatlon than opon anythlDg tl*
Cbaraoter asBasIns may always rely upc
having a fellowwlng. It Is needless to poll
a reason, but it will not be forgotten that tb
followers of tbose who assail cbaraoter are <
different classes:
1. Tbere are always a host of envious sou
who would dislike to see a man rise froi
the ranks.
2. There are others who are unalterabl
in favor of tbe effort, no matter bow dlsr<
putable, .to destroy any man's obaraotei
Tbere love of filth Is simply lndescrlbabl
3. And then there are tbe innocent an
gullable class who open 'their mouths, swa
low everything that may be thrown lnt
them,|,atd who, wltbont question, bellev
u<ko( m qvI'Kq said I r? thp
UVUrjrfcUiUB ^ * *1 iLxab utnjfcww ? ?v,
bearing.
Any man who asiumea (he role ?f charac
ter assassin may, therefore, expect a follow
log. Acd It 1b not unreasonable to bellev
that there was strong opposltlan to B!eas<
On the other hand, there are a host of me
In this State, who can testify to the persons
high cbaraoter and the purity of the prlvat
life of Ansel. The idea, however, still exists l
the minds of some, that a Governor needs
secohd term as an endorsement or as a vlnd
cation of hie official career. This idea hu
some influence with voters.
In pome instances the contention thati
Governor whose term Is expiring, needs
second term to vlndloate his official caree
may properly be urged. It Is right to d
so when the offiolal conduct of the Governc
has been questioned, or when there 1b doufc
as to the wisdom of his official acts.
To make suoh claim for an acceptable Go\
ernor whose term In expiring Is an lmplle
reflection upon either his wisdom or his lm
partiality, or the correctness of his offlcle
acts.
Governor Ansel's conduct, both as a ma
and as an officer needs no endorsement. HI
manhood and his official acts speak fc
themselves, and neither he nor his friend
need plead the baby act in nrglng his need <
a seoond term to vindicate his course. H
stands before the world an upright man an
an officer without reproach. He needs n
vindication. And we are sure that he nev<
has been reduced to the necessity for urglc
such a "vindication" or Buch an ' endors
ment." On a dead level this editor woul
vole for Ansel against the world. A man t
pure and u. right as is Ansel should have ri
quired his friends to conduct as clean and a
honorable a campaign as did Khett. Rhe
and his friends, as lar as they were ooncernei
conducted their campaign on the high plan
of whloh their candidate was worthy. Whll
Ansel may not be to blame, because hi
friends ohose to oonduot a campaign on
lower level, namely: iNoi on ine menu <
their leader, bat upea their own charge
against the character of Ansel's competitor.
War by Insinuation or lnnendo agalnf
anybody does not meet our approval. Th
oonduct of some preachers and some men 1
Blease's home town first excited our sympa
thy for blm, as one who Is persecuted beoaus
of hla humble birth.
The avidity wltti whloh several news
papers afterwards have made war on Bleas<
as we may erroneously think, because of
disposition to kick the man w hom tbey ma
think is down, Is so repugnant to the natm
of this editor that yesterday we cast our vol'
not against Ansel, but against the method
or nlB irienas wnoBe conauci Bnouia Det
high bb the highest. Ansel Is too high a ma
to seek or to accept re-election either b
doubtful or by discreditable methods. H
seeks no office to which he mnst attain b,
trampling under loot the good name of an:
man, which good name is rather to be chose
than great riches, and which is more to b
coveted than the acquisition of the higbes
honors that a great State could bestow.
This editor has a rlebt to vote for the bes
man who may offer for office. We have tb
right to choose between men of equal charac
ter and ability. We have the right to i
choice between men who are our neighbor
or our friends.
If there is a lack of friendship or respec
or neighborly feeling still, on the ground thai
there is difference in rotten apples, we have i
right to choose between them.
While the attack upon the oharaoter of Mi
Blease may not have been malicious, yet w
think other methods should have beei
adopted for Ansel's re-election.
The assassination of one's character 1
soarcely less to be deplored than the assas
slnatlon of the body. But assassinators o
character in this state generally escape with
out the trouble o( responding to the demands
of officers of the law. If the body la killed thi
slayers must give 81,000 ball, and then hire i
lawyer to get for them court certificates o
lnnoeenoe.
Thla editor, speaking for himself, never ex
peots to approve either of the assassination
p haractor or the bush-whacking or the person.
Both should be protected from violence
" and Injury.

Tribute to W. T. Bradley. J
_ News of the death of Mr. W. T. Bradley B
reacueci me frees ana rsauuei umuo jum n i
short while before going to press last week.
The very brief account of bis death and {
= career necessarily dealt only with that Bide ,
of hiB nature that is known to the public c
a There are other lessons In his life that de- (
serve emphasis. I
He was a sincere man. The tendency of t
education and contact with the world incline
to concealment of one's real thought* ,
and feelings. This tendency is general, and ,
mm in the extreme, is known as diplomacy. ]
There aresome natures In which this acqul:- <
ed talent, more commonly termed policy, (
never develop?. Such was the nature of the ,
subject of this s&etcb. The kindly words
aa that so often fell from h!a Hps welled up |
>r' first from bis heart. His heart was attuned
Dg to his genial nature. Bo frank was hie
3D nature that he often met wilh personal en- (
DE counters. But no man ever forgave more .
at readily or forgot more effectually. There |
De was in his soul that broad charity for his
fellow man which though readily resenting
an offense harbored no unkindly feeling for
'I^ * ho Afr^nHa*> 14 a itod mlthnnl mallnfl An hft
as be was without guile.
re Mr. Bradley was always modest In the ,
B8' estimation of bis own capability. His friends |
n" measured more accurately and were more
v" liberal In tbelr estimate of bis endowments
of mind and heart, than was hp. Hut hla
*? consistent work proclaims the man of charD~
acter, the man of good deeds who sought the
?' footsteps of the Master In simple faltb.
QR Whether In public service as County Treas?
ur urer or as a ruling elder In the Associate
ip Reformed Church the path of duty has been
J" to him the only way. Even when he saw the
ad dread shadow approaching, his thought was
u- in the fulfillment of hlB official obligation
6l' and the future of the church he luved so well.
Dt lie was always a faithful attendant at
>l8 churcb. Years ago In urging the duty of
he attending Divine services upon another, less
punotual, he aald that be had never In his
DD life absented himself from service if he was
able to go.
or There was something in the life of W. TBradley
that 1b worib much by way of ex>e~
ample. HewaBnotof those who by nature
De have little temptation to sin, but rather ol
those who eventually triumph by Bubjeotlng
bis will to the will of the Master.
10 Scarcely past the meridian of life, in full
strength and vigor, when the first Bymptons |
le of bis trouble appeared, it was bard for him ,
,l' to realize tbaat he must go. He bad hoped
" that in hie maturer years, with improved
36 opportunities be could do for obarity and the
j cause of the Master. No worthy person ask- 1
' Ing aid of blm ever went away empty banded '
1 and whether by subscription or private gift, '
" considering bis means, his gifts were most 1
,d liberal.
We wlil miss his cheerful disposition. We
will miss hn open and manly oounsel. We c
ie will miss hla christian example. Many of us >,
will miss hiB kindly assistance In time ol
trouble. All ,of those who worship Id the
,D little "Churoh around the oorner" will sorely
:e miss his moral and temporal support.
e la the remarks of his pastor Id the funeral 1
n service be said that be would deviate from c
11 blscuBtomto refer to the personal traits ol
6 the deceased. He said in substanoe If asked
5 what man of bis knowledge had always 8
given to the full limit of his meant; bad 6
* accepted in simple faltb and tried to live up
33 to the teachings of bis Master; had endeavor*
uu lu uarujoujze pis aany worK wun ma *
profession and bad tried to follow without 1
fllnchlnu where duty oalled, that man he
* would say was W. T. Bradley. Aod It Is <
d believed without exception, the many people t
l_ who bad gathered to pay their laBt respects e
to the deceased, felt that they oould cod.
e slstently say Amen. 1

I passed a stagnant marsh that lay
Beneath a reeking scum of green,
A loathsome puddle by the way;
No sorrier pool was ever seen.
I thought, "How lost to all things pure
And clean and white those foul depths
be."
Next day from out that pond obscure
Two queenly lilies laughed at me.
I passed a hovel round whose door
The signs of penury were strewn;
I saw the grimed and littered floor,
The walls of logs from tree trunks
hewn.
I said, "The gates of life are shut
To those within that wretched pen."
But, lo, from out that lowly hut
Came one to rule the world of men.

The Wrinkle of Laughter.
What hair he has Is very thin and gray;
His eyes are sometimes filled with bitter
tears.
And when you see htm on his weary way
You wonder how he carries all his
years.
He Is s > old, so old and filled with pain
One marvels at the spirit he displays;
Yet from those eyes there flashes once
again
The splendid courage of his younger
days.
And r r, when you greet him, you will
see
Upon his fac? a smile from worry free!
There are a hundred wrinkles on bis
faceScars
left by Father Time from battles
grim?
Yet there Is one which does deserve Its
place,
And, wrinkle that It Is, It honors him.
Tls long and deeply marked, and some
might say
It marred that strong old face. That Is
not sot
It Is the badge of laughter; day by day
He Ban the happy side and made it
rrowl
Though life baj been no Joke to him he't
found
The value of a laugh?and passed it
round.
In years to come, when I am old and
gray,
One hope I have?that men may say of
me:
"The wrinkle* that he has we would not
change.
The cheerful side of life.he helped us

Oh, yet we trust that, eomehow, good
Will be the final goal of 111,
To pangs of nature, Bins of will.
Defects of doubt and taints of blood;
That nothing walks with aimless feet.
That not one life shaJl be destroyed
Or cast as rubbish to the void;
When Ood hath made the file complete
That not a worm Is cloven In vain;
That not a moth with vain desire
Is shriveled In a fruitless Are
Or but subserves another's gain.
