SENATOR E. D. SMITH. jl I The Spartanburg Journal Is much exercised because Col. Scaife, sometimes school teacher, sometimes lawyer, and now a Federal officeholder in Washington, Ve believe, has dis- ( covered that Senator Smith did not ' vote on about fifteen hundred roll J _ . ? * ^ ^ calls. The Journal says tnat senator > Smith lias held the position of Sena s tor in the light of a club membership, and intimates that he has paid little 1 attention to the business In hand. | But neither Mr. Scaife nor the * .Journal tells us what roll calls Sena- * tor Smith failed to answer; ,s 1 Neither tells us that a single measure failed of passage or rejection because Senator Smith was not pres( ent and failed to vote: i c Neither tells us that Smith was not : I * there When there was a real demand j for Democratic votes; | ^ Neither tells us that Smith ever i voted on the wrong side of a question that was of material benefit to e the people of South Carolina; 2 I Neither tells us that Smith was not busy witft other more important i matters on the days when he failed I to Answer the roll calls; I Neither tells us that Senator!0 Smifrfc ?<as not at all time? and in all * ways sought serve the agriculture al interests of the peopre of the 0 South; ; * t Neither disputes Jhc sjat^tnent of' ^ /"S ?jai ; * " . { 'trtilh that lie lias favored and sectir*' ed the passage of mere remedial leg- 0 islation for the people or iliis section' than all the Senators who nave serv^,0 South Carolina in this genera-'0 tion; - , ' : * *T']lk ']2D- ' Neither can tell us that Senator 0 Smith has not done what he promised. * to do when he went to Washington ?loo!; af .'j;- the pk- -v.o produced th( cotton to clothe the world. 1 Pe; isips if Senator Smith has been it bio t > debate the subject to States *" Rights, or whether it was "over pro/Jn/>ti/ni nr iinf 1 r mrtsumntion" which ^ affllicted the country, or had "hoard voiccs in the air' instead of from the c cotton fields of the South, or had ju ;t been present and answered the roll calls, he would have su?:ed office- ' holder Scaife, or Editor xlemphill better, but the people down this way <!o not see it. No man who will be sent to Wash- ' i ington will please everybody, and a man who pleases some people will ' not please them at all times, Out 'the ' , charge as a whole must be considered" we are told by the Supreme Court, and when so considered, it ' will be found that Senator Smith has served the people of this state faithfully, efficiently, and that he has Ltocd as the real champion of the - k i Deople he was sent to Washing! ;c represent. ' : He will be reelected to the Unit States Senate on the first ballot ne nonth unless we miss our guess. SOME ERRORS IN ADVERTlSEMEr H. F. Eldredge, a Columbia ? ertising agent, has published a cht which purports to give the nan ocation, circulation and frequen )f issue of all the newspapers :he State. The chart appeared as part of a page advertisement appes ng in a recent issfie of The Sta Mr. Eldredge has The Abbeville Pr< ind Banner down as having a circ ation of 800 and being publish ;emi-weekly. The Anderson Da Tribune, the morning paper of t Slectric City, d6es not appear on 1 .-hart at all. The Fort Mill Tim* >ne of the best of the country wee ies has been also ignored, wnile ol ;r papers of less importance appe vith considerable prominence. T dea of the chart is good anc mut illy helpful to Mr. Eldrecge and :he newspaper that is correctly re 3?ented. But we imagine there >ome commotion invthe offices ;hose papers which have iieen lncc ectly represented or left out all rether. We can't imagine where rot his idea that the circulation The Abbeville Press and Banner w >nly 800 and that it is published or >emi-weekly any more than we c magine why be left out tiie And* ;on Daily Tribune with a circulati )f several thousand. It cerrainly ip to Mr. Eldredge to correct the < :ors in his chart if he expects to susiness with the newspapers abo .vhich he has circulated false stai nents. So far as The Abbeville Pr< ind Banner is concerned it does t ;are. We have learned years ago t? ihe paper shows for itself and r( resentations inconsistent with fa< have never done it any permane harm. CABINET MAKERS. Cabinet-makers are at work.
