What the People Of His Adopted ll (?nie Say. Among the distinguished gentle men, whe ampire to the Senate to Recete) John L. McLaurin, the Honorable D S Henderson, of A - an unuamil* degree those qualities that upon tqe world's stage go to make up a man of mark. And inaddition?. to bis well ar U a good friend and a good citizen, to bout. Beyond the natural hunte 8hK*?*t?te he is known as "ne of the acknowledged leaders u pub.ie affair*, and at the bar, of south Carolina. Asoneof our co - remporaries has put it, he is indeed, -a christian gentleman, an MOW nibbed scholar, an able jurist, and Sn eloquent speaker,-one altogeth er worthy of a ?eat in the United States Sonate." BEGINNING A CAREER. Dan ? Henderson was born in Walterborough, in the county of Colleton, South Carolina, m 1849 Both bis father and mother were natives of this State. The father Daniel Henderson, was descended from a Scotch Irish origin, of which vi e are found some of the most eminently successful men of this andStier? times. The elder Hen Sersou.in his day was a lawyer of note, and served with distinetton in tqe Legislature of his ?tate. He died in lSbM. Dan Henderson, the son, at an ear lv aire began his education m the Charleston College with a scolarship won in a competitive examination. In 1070 he left the quiet college walls with toe first honors of his cia*s With the close of college days the young student devoted himself to }he mysteries of the law. Like many lawyers who have at tained eminence Henderson gath ered his first knowledge of the practical machinery of jurispru dence as a student in a law ornee. For a year and a half after leaving Charleston College, he studied law in the i thee of Messrs Simons and Seigling, then among the leading practitioner in the historic city of Charleston. m -m , . - , At the expiration of this period Henderson began the struggle of life as a school teacher in Obesje^ S. C. His manly bea with all who __*JM?ft^-audw^^rY?etJ"wVth the young teachei. In spare moments he pur sued the study of the law with un flagging zeal. . AS A LEGISLATIVE LEADER. * in 1S7G the successful practition er declined the nomination for the State Senate. He was too young to be eligible for the offie he was offered. However, in 1880, D. S. Henderson, then fully recognized as a leader in public affairs in his part of the State, was elected to the Senate of the General Assembly of South Carolina, in the first primary ever held in Aiken county* During his first term he wray oue of the foremost debaters in the Sen . ate, and was active iu securing the passage of several laws relatiug in timately to the welfare of theState. Duelling was then rife in South Carolina. Men fought at the drop of a hat, upon fancied insults, with seconds, and all the formalities of the code duello. Henderson was the author of the famous duelling oath, incorporated into the oath of public office in South Carolina, in tended to extirpate this evil. The first act ever passed in this State providing for the creation of a Rail road Commission was championed and advocated by D. S. Henderson. This act was the origin of the pres ent Railroad Commission, possess ing as it does powers of afar reach ing character relating to the regula tion of railroads and freights. The concealed weapon law, the eight box election law, by which a white man's government was perpetuated in South Carolina-with ali this important legislation State Sena tor Henderson was actively identi fied. . His business affairs multiplied with such rapidity that in 1884 Hen derson voluntarily retired from the .State Senate. The same year he was a member of the South Caroli na delegation to the Nationol Dem ocratic Convention at Chicago. For ten years following his withdrawal from the General Assembly he de-1 voted himself to the practice of law During this time he was only once | i a candidate for ofh>. This was in j the famous congressional conven tion in which George D. Tillman was nominated after hundred of ballots had been cast. The convention lasted for more than three weeks. From the be ginning to the end ot this memora ble contest Aiken county solidly supported her favorite son. THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION In 1995 the Reform and Conserva live factions divided the Democrat ic Party in South Carolina. The party leaders detejmined to make an effort to heal the breach exist ing in the party ranks. Henderson wassent to the Constitutional Con vention. He was supported by both divisions of tho party as a leader having at heart the interests of the whole State. In this memorable oody Henderson took front rank as a legislator and statesman. As chairman of the Committee on Mu nicipal Corporations and Police Regulations he aided in framing the seciions of tue State Constitution relating to the liquor question, and having in view the elimination of barrooms, and the management of cities and towns. He assumed a prominent part in the argumento! )ublic affairs especially in the de lates upon suffrage and education. The convention was composed of he representative public men of ?South Carolina The senator from \.iken county was easily one of the readiest and most logical debaters n the whole assembly. AS STATU SENATOR IN RECENT YEARS. In 1S96 and again in 1900 Hender son was returned to the State Sen ute with overwhelming majorities. During these sessiuns ne has serv ed with distinction in the upper brauch of the Legislature. He has been instrumental in securing the enaotraent of legislation of lasting importance. The reformation of the County Government' Law; the equalization of the taxes of the cotton mills and fertilizer factories; all this has been largely the result of the untiring dilligence and pub lic works of the seuator lrom Ai ken. The latter act alone-relating to the cotton mills aod fertilizer plants, of which act he wau the au thor, has put upon the tax boaks of the State fully $2,000,000 of taxable property. He was a strong udvo cate of the Separate Coach Bill. At the latest session of the Gener al Assembly Senator Henderson vigorously supporte! the passage of the Anti-Trust Law, one of the most important enactments at this session. In his entire public career be has been the champion of popu lar education, realizing in what large degree the future welfar ; of the State is dependant upon the proper maintenance of our col leges and public schools. His lead ership in this cause is attested by his position as Chairman of the Committee mi Education in th* State Senate, and as a trustee ol Winthrop and the South Carolina Colleges. At the recent county Convention held in Aik'?n Mr. Henderson MU nou.iced his intention to re*ig:i n> state sen ?tor, in order to e ber fren banded the contest for the United States Senate IP the coming prima ry Dan Henderson is one of the most practical of thinker-the most kind heart? d of men-the .shrewdest ol politicians-and, in our opinion, the best trial lawyer in South Cand?na. The systematic business methods of lus law office are the envy of his fellow members of the bar. From the humblest beginning he has arisen to a position of distinction. Success bas not elated, and defeat, reare in his career-has net cast him down. He is pre-eminently a self-made man. The cleanness of his public and private life stamps him as a man of undoubted int* g rity and lofty purpose. He bas about him the elments of success. The times are tired of corruption, of fawning, of political pot-hunters, of breach of faith and base desertion of principle. South Carolina needs as her rep resentative in the highest council hall or the Nation, a statesman of integrity, of character, of high pur pose, of honor, of public usefulness Such B man is "Dan" Henderson, known and proved of his friends. A Very Candid and Manly Card from the Honorable YY, lt. Parks. PARKVILLE, S. C., July 29,1902. To My Friends and the Public: I lake this method through the public prints of answering letters and inquiries which I havn't tim? ?io answer personally.. 1 judge^fcnni. ---???ft clio Othtnnr-- f-ixiiw iry1 but on the other hand of lifting a burden by making better roads. Of course I favor good roads, and I think it economy to make them, yeti am not in favor of burdening the people without an expression from them as to their desires or pre ferenc -s. We oannot hope for any great improvements in the matter of roads without more money and and a change in our present sys tem. However, if elected, I would thrive to carry out the will of my constituency. j I favor un increase in the commu tation tax not exceeding two uol lars, or a reduction of time required oj hands; who do not pay, to make the law more just and equitable. As to a new county, I want to say that I, fromaselfish standpoint, favor it. I regret asm .th as any one to be cut off from oh. and hon ored Edgefield, yet, . ? is well known, we are ata great disadvan tage in many respects, owing to dis tance, creeks, etc., which can only be overcome by establishing a new couoty. I don't know that it is pos sible to secure a new county, but am frank to st ate thatl am in fa vor of it. Should my position cause ray friends to vote for others, I shall not complain. It was with reluc tance that I allowed my friends to present my name to the voters of Edgefield for legislative honors. However, as I have done so, I can only promise if elected to do my duty to my friends, old Edgefield, and South Carolina. If I could accomplish the good tnat would balance up with the harm that those who oppose me would make believe, my election would bring about, be. increasing taxation and otherwise, I could re ? turn with the satisfaction of hav-|! ing done more than any one repre sentative has ever done. I have - agreed to make the sacaifice of at- i tending as many meetings as possi- ( tile, and should I be honored by a sufficient number of votes to be ilected, I promise to do my duty as ? : see it. I will be glad to give my 1 dewson any subject that maybe )f interest to the public either pub- t ?cly or privately. t Respectfully, W. JR. PARKS. ( Hon. William P.

Talbert's political enemies are trying to in jure his bright prospects for be ing elected Governor of South Car 3lma by circulating all sorts of un true reports on him, I desire to Bay a word in his defense. One of the things said is that be is close fisted, and helps nobody. These statements are absolutely false. I have known Col. Talbert, and liv ed close to him for a number of years, and I do not know of a more generous, big-hearted and liberal man in all our country, f?e is a pillar in his church, and is liberal in all bis contributions to the va rious charitable causes. He is very generous to the schools of the county, paying the tuition of quite a number of pojr children whose parents are unable to pay it them selves, and assisting wherever a fjchool-house or church is being built. And he is liberal with the poor to my knowledge. I know of many men today who won lr1, have lost their bornes aud been turned out of doors had it not oeen for Col. Talbert's kindness :.n saving 'heir hornea for tuena. I ?ni not writing what I have beard or any thing like that. bu?. I am writing what I&/ioi0,and if anybody doubts these these facts let teem corne to me and I will tell them (for I know) what kind of a mau Col. Talbnrt is. In all of hie public life he has favored the interests of the laboring people, whether, they work in the factory or on the farm, or any where el?e, and be is absolute ly trustworthy, fuliy qualified to fill the high office of Go\'ernor,and is a christian gentleman and will worthy of the hearty support of the masses of the peop'o whether they be rich or poor, high or low, and I nppeal to them in his behalf and "say if you want to elect a man who will discharge well and faithfully and fearlessly the duties of chief executive of South Carolina vot?* for W.
