little what-you-may-call-ems, votei

Earle -no takers.
The Columbia State, a Duncai
paper in the first J ace, g;ves itu]
that the Reformers will eiect Earl
on next Tuesday.
The Columbia Register, ai
Evans paper in the first race, give
it up that Earle will be elected ii
the second race.
The News and Courier admit
that the Reformers will pu., Earl
in the United States Senate o
next Tuesday.

Edgefield's vote in the first pr
mary was three to one ag a i n t
isa^Exana- for the United fiffltfifl fiffif
mg juguwj UB'aiWOyiW^
lesiion to the other counties of the
State bec au se Edgefield knows
whereof she speaks.
If Senator Tillman wished re
formers to vote .for John Gary
Evans he would say so without j
equivocation. On the contrary he
says: "I HAVE HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THE FIGHT UP
TO THIS TIME, AND EXPECT
TO TAKE NO HAND IN IT
NOW.
"Mix, of course you haven't got a
dollar out of this, but you know
Old Ben filled his pockets with the
whiskey rebates''-John Gary Ev
ans.
The final defeat of Evans for the
senate will amount to a vindication
of Tillman from Evan's charge that
ne filled his pockets out of the dis
pensary-at least so far as the vo
ters are capable cf rendering a ver
dict.-Ex.
Edgefield county Reformers led
in the first primary in sweeping
"before their own doors." We have
the most independent voters on
earth and we might say the most
honest. We vote for Tom to-day}
but if Tom be found on his tip
toes stretching up to get som?
thing that does'nt belong to him,
we will vote for Dick to-morrow.
And is'nt that right? Is'nt 'that
the clean thing to do!
If John Gary Evans be elected
to the United States Senate, the
Reform movement in South Caro
lina is dead. Why? Because the
thousands of Reformers who voted
for Earle in the first primary will
if Evans be elected desert the Re
form party aa rats desert a sinkiug
ship. They not only will do this,
but they ought to do it.
We are informed that the Evans
ites are sending out in Edgefield
county a host of circulars claiming
ihat the defeat of Evans will be
the downfall of the Reform move
ment. Watch out for this litera
ture, and don't be bamboozled by
it. The truth of the matter is that i
South Carolina reformers must
throw this Jonah overboard or the
"ship of reform" will go to the bot
tom keol upwards. Be wise \n time
reformers, and listen to your con
sciences which tell you always and
all the time to vote for the best
man.

Rhind, Colin Rhind, of bond
deal fame, has disappeared utterly
from tb.3 face of thc earth. News
paper repoiters, the best detec
tives in the world, have hunted for
him high and low but he ?6 abso
lutely non est iuventus. But mark
our prediction. He will turn up all
right as soon as the second prima
ry is over for the Doited Statos
Senate. And he will Lsv^'a won
derful story to tell of his adven
tures and why he was lost for a
season and how he was founcj,
A number of the most promi
nent ?eformers in the county of
Edgefield who voted for Evans in
the first primary, declare their in
tention of voting for Earle in the
second primary. They reason this
way, that as Earle beat Evans
three to one in the first race it
shows to them that an overwhelm
ing majority of Edgeiield county
reformers are for Earle's election
ana that as good democrats they
bow lo the will of the majority and
will so vote. Let it te so recorded.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee in May last passed a
resolution requiring all candidates
for State offices to pay an assess
ment fee before the first campaign
meeting or their votes would not
be counted.
Several of the candidates failed
to pay that assessment and among
that number Col. P. H. Nelson
failed to pay his, $50 being the
amount placed on candidates for
Solicitor, but the Committee was
averse to knocking out delin
quents and allowed them until 6
o'clock August 31st to settle.
Col. Nelson, we are informed, has
?ince paid his dues and so there
wih be a second race betweer
Thurmond and'Nelson for said of
fice. Those candidates who bac
paid before they knew they wen
to be in the second race were cor
tainly very generous in not de
manding that the rule be enforcei
against such d< iinquents.
SOLICITOR'S RACE.
In the Fifth Judicial circui
Thurmond received -1373, Nelsoi
4253, Muller 924. Now let Edge
field County turn out on Tuesda;
next and elect her son J. Wru
i_ I Thurmond.
Because he is, of the two candi
dates, much the abler, has better
training and more experience.
Because his personal character
is without flaw or blemish; no
shadow has ever rested for a mo
ment on his fair fame.
Because his record as a Judge is,
that he enforced the law dispassion
ately and impartially; he favored the
enforcement of the Dispehsary law as
it stands on the Statue books not as
the State oihcials construed it.
Because on the stump he behaved as
a man ought who seeks so high an of
dee as United States Senator.
Because no investigating committee
will ever be appointed on the part of
the United States Senate to investi
gate his record.
Because, being the peer of any other
United States Senator in his physical
appearance in his mental endowments,
and in his moral attributes, South Car
olina will never be ashamed of him as
her representative.
Vote for Earle, Reformers of Edgeiield
and you will never have to make any
excuses to anybody, and your own con
sciences will approve?the act.
The Reform party in South Car
olina is strong enough and honest
enough to purify itself, if the con
servatives will only tole fair, for
instance: In Edgefield county vote
for Thurmond for Solicitor. We
Reformers voted for and elected a
conservative to the Legislature.
Now turn about is fair play be
sides Thurmond is a better man
than Nelson. Thc returns in Edge
field county show that the con
servatives voted almost solidly for
Nelson in the first racu. We are
trying to get together as one broth
erhood in Edgefield county and we
beg conservatives to tote fair, oth
erwise reformers will learn to dis
trust their professions.
Candidate Duncan used, to com
plain of Judge Earl's Senatoria
aspirations, saying that if Earle
were out of the way he would make
short work of Evan?. Yet Dun
can only polled 8,220 votes, while
Earle received 30,057. It looks as
if "Duncan slightly over-estimated
himself.
How can the great slump be ex
plained? That's hard to tell, some
of Governor Evans's friends be
lieve that men whom he expected
.o work for bim and who promised
to do so, knifed him when it came
to the rub. If that is so the con
spiracy seems to have been pretty
general throughout tho State.
Others explain it by Baying that
the Governor's bond explanation
was not satisfactory to many Re
formers. Some of them thought
that he evaded the issue and said
that if he had come out and said
that he was Rhind's attorney and
was to get so and so, it would have
been all right. As a matter of fact
the explanation was very much of
that character. But there are ex
planations and explanations, and
every one can fix it to suit him
self.
The Governor's friends felt very
blue over the situation yesterday.
He did not come to hiB office but
remained at the Mansion a:l day.

-BEING IN DESPERATE STRAITS
THEY WILL TRY TO CONTEST THE
RESULT OF THE PRIMARY HERE.
News und.Courier.
The supporters of Governor
John Gary Evan3 in this city are
going to make a determined effort
to find some flaw in the primary
election held here list Tuesday.
When the news was first received
that the Governor had been weigh
ed in the balances and found
wannting by the real Reformers
of South Carolinathe}r were struck
speechless; the catastrophe was so
unexpected that it caught them
between wind and water, so to
speak, and then went to grass, as
the prize fighting folks say, com
pletely knocked out. It was a ter
rible blow to them, and for a time
the}' were ready to take to the
woods. But bethinking themselves
of a possible way out of their
troublos, it occurred to them that
they would make charges of fraud
against the primaiy here and that,
if they could get the Charleston
vote thrown out, Evans would go
in ou the first race. Some of the
candidates who had been '?eaten in
local fights and were disgruntled,
as most beaten candidates are. had
given them the cue. It made no
difference to these people that the
election had been as fair an elec
tion as was ever held in Charles
ton or anywhere else; that Chair
man Barnwell aud his committee
had thrown every safeguard around
the polls and that the members of
the committee had seen thtt eve
ry candidate was treated fairly
and treated alike; that prominent
Reform members of the commit
tee are on record as expressing
their satisfaction with the way that
the election was carried out, and
that hundreds of citizens, of bjth
local political factions have borne
testimony to their conviction that
the election was conducted in a
model manner, these things made
no difference to them, it seems, for
all day yesterday there was talk of
Governor Evans's friends making
a contest in his behalf. All of this
goes to prove, of course, just how
badly routed the Evans men are
If their only chance of electing
their man lies in tho hope of prov
ing fraud in last Tuesday's prima
ry in Charleston, they had best
save their money and their trou
ble, and stay at home to nurse
their wounded political feelings.
The fraud plea won't go this tim?,
;is far as Charleston is concerned.
When the election was coming
bn there was a universal demand
for a perfectly fair contest, and
that is just what was given th
candidates as far as any impartial
leerson is able to see. The Anti
Evans men knew that they had
m overwhelming majority from
che start, and they liad far too
much sense and were far too good
polit'cians to run any risk of hav
ing thc vote thrown out.
Notwithstanding all of these w
hings some of the Governor's a
'fiends were bent on contesting i;
ile Charleston vote yesterday, o
Ur. St. Julian Yates went up to il
Columbia dur'ng the day, and be s<
lid uot"mako any secret of what I ci
MtfiTii i'ifi iTaiiragifir _
ie was going for. Then in the af
i-rnoou it was rumoced ab ml town
hat Chief Martin, of the metro
jolitan police, who is known to be
L warm friend of the Governor's, ,
vould go up to Columbia this
norning to aid in the contest for
Svans. A Reporter for the News
md Courier spoke to Chief Mar
in on the subject last night. He
;pid that he had not made up his
mind whether ho would go up to
Columbia or not. He was told,
that it was reported that he was
going .to the Capital in the interest
of Govaruor Evans, but he said
that be had not fully determined
at that time just what he would
do.
Mr. P. H. Gadsden, who is
Charleston county's representative
on the State executive committee,
was prevented from going up to
Columbia yesterday, but he named
Mr. J. W. Barnwell as his proxy
and Mr. Barnwell went up to the
Capital last night. The contesting
parties will be somewhat surprised
to find him on the ground this
morning, but it will be a source of
gratification to the Anti-Evans
men to learn that the committee's
side ol' the primary, and the way
that it was conducted will be ade
quately represented.
CONGRATULATIONS.
--
In the common cause of decen
cy and in the further behalf of of
ficial honesty and manliness, we
offer to the many thousands of
"Reformers'' who voted agdnst
the election of John 'Gary Evans
to the United States Senate our
mest hearty congratulations. They
have shown that to them at!east
the name '"Reformer" signifies
something higher than training
with the majority and securing
offices.
A local organ affects to fear thai
"Conservatives" will claim the de
feat of Evans as their victory and
as a presage of power two years
hence. We shall venture to say
that any man who may make such
a claim is a fool. The former fac
tional lines have been broker: and
cannot be reestablished. Th>3 is
sue in this campaign was not be
tween "Reformers" and "Conser
vatives" but between honesty and
dishonesty. Without a heavy
vote by the "Reformers." for Earle
and Duncan, the opposition to
Evans would have be-m utterly
terly resistless. Indeed, the "Re
formers" did belter than the fer
mer "Conservatives" in rebuking
Evans, for those who were agniust
him voted against h;m, while Thou
sands of "Conservatives" sat ir
sloth and hopelessness and ga-vc
up the fight.
; * No, it is not a "Conservative'
victory, and it means no resuuop
tion of old alignments. The citie:
and towns cast as a rule hardi]
two-thirds of their normal vote
Bome of tbem-like Columbia; aiK
i Charleston-hardly half of \{
?ame in it looked as it the vote ot
;he Stato would not exceed 55,000,
jut when the back d'stric's- were
leard from they increased the es
imate by over 20,000 votes. And
ii those votes, cast mainly by "Re
"ormers," Evans hardly received
lalf. The "Reformerb" did it,
md we freely accord them the
sreclit,
It ?4 no secret, why they did it.
They doubted the houesty of this
dated candidate. Thay recogniz
d his lack of ability. They re
sized that he could not be a cred
tab?e representative of this, State
n the United States Senate. They
lid not propose to support a taint
ed candidate because he had got a
Hutch on the coat-tails of a bigger
man and expected to be haulediu
.o a-position many sizes too large
for him and ten times too high for
aim.
They didn't vote for Evans be
cause they couldn't trust him ; be
cause by his course he had for
feited all confidence iu hisperson
il integrity. Take au incident in
Evans's own county to illustrate
;his feeling:
A high officer of the dispensary
;onstabulary had spent two weeks
in Aiken county before the elec
:ion, working for his chief while
Irawing the State's money for ser
vices not rendered. He had spent
?lection day at a factory precinct
md came into Aiken that night
vorn out and disheartened. He
:old how the factory operatives
iad streamed to the polls with
heir ballots in their pockets, al
ready prepared, and how he had
abored with them to vote for
Evans, even if only from "county
:>rido." He told of his non-success.
They had said to him that, while
hey were "Reformers," they had
;ome to distrust Evans's honesty.
ile had failed to meet the charges
igaiust him. He had dodged and
jeen dumb. They believed there
vas something rascally that he
vas hiding and they didn't pro
lose to send a man like that to the
Jnited States Senate.
We have similar stories from
rarious counties, away off in the
mckwoods. The people are do
ng their own thinking' this year,
ind they are thinking to good ef
ect. in the second primary the
'Reformers" cen not be rallied to
he support of this candidate,
vhose brazeness in presenting him
elf for Calhoun's gr jat chair with
