The member of Congress from
the second district of South Caro
lina, Judge. James O'H. Patterson, |
has rather upset the popular im
pression that a man in order to get
Congressional favors must belong
to. the regular Republican organ i- |
zation. Now while Congressman
Patterson is a Democrat and got
8,440 votes in his district in the
last election, 'against fifty-eight for
the Republican nominee, yet he has
done what no Republican has been
able to accomplish. The established
rule in connection with appropria
tions for public, buildings is that
they will be granted to only.' cities
of ten thousand inhabitants or
where the gross receipts of the office
exceed ten thousand dollars per
year; but 21r. Patterson got ten
thousand dollars for a site and fifty
thousand dollars for a building for
Aiken,-South Carolina, <which is a
place of about four thousand popu
lation, aild with receipts running
far below the usual amount required
aud to top off all that, has practi
cally arranged for free delivery.
This is, of course, a local matter,
but simply goes to show what the
: right kind of a congressman can ac
complish by keeping everlastingly
after things.
There is a delicious air of the
southland about room 409 in the
House Office Building, and in it I
spent a pleasant half hour with
Judge Patterson, while he told me
' of his great interest in the projects
to drain the swamp lands of the
south. "We are realizing the great
ness of the irrigation projects in
the west," he said, but it seems to
be rather difficult to make our peo
ple understand the greater advan
tages that attach to drainage prob
lems. 1 In the West, the irrigation
systems must first be installed, and
then it ?8 necessary to get the peo
ple to come in and settle on the
lands; while in_ my state the people
are already there and the . moment
the lands are supplied with a satis
factory drainage system cultivation
begins; and these lands are as val
uable as any of the lands that are
being talked about so much in the
West." Judge Patterson made a

speech upon this subject that at
tracted a great deal of favorable
comment among Congressman at
the time, and did mnch to enlighten
his colleagues in reference to the
needs of the south.
Judge Patterson has covered his
district with rural free delivery
routes, and in this matter as well as
iii the instance cited of the Aiken
public building has demonstrated
his ability to ''get things." He has
also secured a soil survey for Saluda |
County which will be of great value j
to the agricultural regions as it will
clearly define the chemical and phy
sical value of the soil in the differ
ent regions, aad show conclusively,
the kind of crops to which each
section is best adapted. In the way
of local legislation it is found that
the Congressman has been unusu
ally successful in securing appropri
ations indemnifying sufferers from
outrages perpetrated during the Civ
il War, bu* in the broader and more
comprehensive field of national
affairs he has addressed the House
upon the subject of the tariff and
threw some hot shells into the 'Re-1
publican camp in his argument
along the line that the opposition
was trying to' serve the interests
rather than the consumers of the
country, while his speech upon the
Federal Judiciary. System has(been
circulated pretty well over the coun
try. He elicited. great applause
from members of his party when he
declared that "federal judges are
the 'sappers and miners' of despot
I ism." and characterized the system
as ' against the policy and princi
ples of our government and of all
civilized nations" because it places
"the machinery of the courts of ju?
tice beyond the reach of tho poorest
and humblest citizen who seeks re
dress for a wrong or remedy for an
existing evil."
No matter how much one may
disagree with Judge Patterson up
on his views, yet it is doubtless true
that the Republicans in Congress
maintain the highest respect for the
ability and fairness with which the
South Carolina member has present
ed his argument from his party's
standpoint.-National Magazine.
