ME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT A DESERVING CANDIDATE. riot and Christian Gentleman ?sage t<> the Voters of the fth?Hero's a Record That Constitutes the Best Possible Guarantee of Patriotic Service? Every Individual in the District Will Have a Personal Representative. tor Yorkvillc Enquirer : a common with the vast tuajorof the people of York county, u intensely pleased with thereof the first congressional priy on the 30th ultimo, and in imon with them, I am more i ever interested in the out10 of the second election. York nty wants Mr Finley to go to ijress. This is evidenced by fact that out of 5 votes , Mr Finley lost only 003 with other candidates in the raco. 'he i>eculiar significance of this ation can he l>est appreciate*! m it is understood that of the )r candidate*- all estimable i no doubt?at least three are I and favorably known through the county as gentlemen of l character, and who are held lose regard by our people, believe that Mr Finley is go. to be selected as the Demoic nominee. If it were possifor the voters of the Fifth lict generally to know him as of York county, who have wn him nearly all his life w him, I am suro that he ild >>e selected. Of course the pie of the district cannot bring nselves to appreciate in a few iths, that which has been grow on York county for al>out 40 rs; but if you will permit me, ilieve I ciin sum up some facts ch will tell a part of the story, I feel safe in saving that all fork county will .appreciate the loess if the other newspapers >ughoutthe district will repro0 this communication. Other3, of course, what 1 have to say count for little. Wherever Yorkvillo papers go, Mr Fin is already known, and this can te new acquaintances for him f in portions of the district ire the people get their inforion of men and things through jr newspapers. do not propose to enter into extended biographical sketch, nkly, I confess that the mateis at hand, and it is well worth ipiling. But, for the presont, ?siro to briefly review some of things that Mr Finley has done , as well as I can, give a cor*-v ? (Ka L i rt.l 1 a * a p mun lit luu rvniw \jk laimi i,r in. lr Finley was left au orphan n early age. He hasnorecolion of his parents. An aged t, who lived on the outskirts lock Hill, had charge of his iging up. She was a severely gious old la<'y, and her teachj were along that line. She not wealthy, and of course, charge was raised to work.? it, it was all manner of chores ut the farm ; next, it was farm k generally; and then it was management of the farm.- re or lean common school ad? tegee were afforded along, and d use was made of tbem. Then followed a couree in college, in c which the expense was paid en- e tirely by the student. Some of e the necessary means represented t the frugality of a poor farmer a hoy, and for the balance he pledg- s jed an integrity that ha-? ever since t been a satisfactory guarantee for t the fulfillment of whatever prom- e ise he aees lit to make. h It was about 15 years ago when <1 Mr Finley first located in York, c ville- lie was just from college 11 with a certificate of admission .to I the bar. lie had but few acquain. ? tancos here then. Hut ho wis ambitious, and he believed that th;s I was the place to locate. From the a first he began to win the esteem e of his fellowcitizens and built up n a good practice, and until the a present time his practice has con- c tinned to grow, and there is no t question of the fact that the esteem ^ in which the j>eople of York coun- e ty holds him, is stronger and more j widespread than ever. No ningle c I citizen amongst us stands higher, "] and not one enjoys to a greater | extent the contideuee of his fel- c low citizens. i Mr Finloy has l>een interested 1 | in politics since ho was 15 years > of age. He was a member of the 1 Hock Hill Democratic club in 1876 < and he has taken an active part in > each succeeding campaign. In < 1800 ho offered as a candidate for * the house of representatives, and * although contined to his bed by ? illness during a portion of tne can- j vas of the county, he was nonii ? natcd at the head of the ticket. ' Two years later be became a can- > didate for the state senate and wasj1 elected without opposition. Dor-1' l ing his two years' service in the i bouse ho was a memlwr of tbe|( i committee on privileges and elec- i i tions, and also a member of the | u i i i-uuimiuco on ways ami means.? i , During the last session of his ser- i j vice ho was chairman of the latter j committee, and when he went to i the senate he was placed on the 1 judiciary and finance committee, r Of this last named committee he ? ! was also chairman. His whole i record in both branches of the i | general assembly was highly sat- t isfactory to his constituents at 1 | homo, and it would not be difficult < to show that his labors were ben eticial to the State. Ho made for 8 himself tho reputation of being a \ l careful and wise economist, and c j at tho same time developed the f j breadth which has since so strong r ly entrenched him in tho estima- a | tion of those by whom he is iKJst 9 j known. j , Mr Finley first became a candi- t date for congress in 1894. His [ opi>onent was Dr. Strait. York e county gave him a handsome ma- i jority but he was l>eaten in tho 1 district In 1896 he wai again a u candidate. His op|H>nents this c time were Dr. Strait and Mr. W c D Trantbam. York county in- \ creased her majority, and as the r result of the vote in the balance r of tho district, there was a second v race between Dr Strui* *rwi M* i Finley. In the second race I)r. v Strait won again ; but by a much t smaller majority. In the recent c election, York still furtherincress- a ed her vote, and with the balance c of the district Mr Finley leads, v Another notable circumstance in connection with these three races \ is the fact that Mr. Finley and t Dr Strait went into the first as t personal friends and came out of it c as such. The same condition of affairs prevailed throughout the i second race, and as a significant 1 utcome of the campaign just clos- as (1, so far as Dr Strait is concern- rIi <1, it may he stated as a fact that th he two gentlemen are still person* hi I friends. Mr Fiuley went to nc clniol to Dr. Strait in 1877, and gi he friendship that commenced he- re ween tho two men then, has last- ci d ever sines. Mr. Ftnley never in ias hoen a mud thrower, and ho is se me of those men who will not fo ipenly permit other men to throw ly mid at him. In a fair, honora- di >le way, however, he can give cc nd take tho hardest of licks. As a lawyer also, Mr. Finley ias a record of which his friends ne proud. It would not he much Ci ixaggeration to say that since his idmission to the bar, large and miall, he has handled nearly 1,000 T< ases. It is the universal opinioa hat there is no aider lawyer at the fork bar. Ho is usually on one m lide or the other of the most im- lii >ortant cases litiaated in thia in n his church, works in his Sunday P sehool, and takes a prominent P >art in church councils. lie is a h j^ustee of the Sou*h Carolina col- a ege and of Erskino college, and ei >no of the founders, a trustee and ? i liberal supporter of the orphan- ir tge at Hickory Grove. His prom- * nence in matters of this kind is a' icarcely less than it is in the po- w itical interosts of his county and a listrict. But it is not these things, probibly, alone, which makes Mr. Finoy so dear to the |>eople of York rounty. There are certain pertonal characteristics that bring nen close to him. He is as true bi is steel to his friends. He has a m dncere love for his fellow man. 81 lie has been known to champion he cause of a poor, decrepit old >auper in which no one was interested, and work as earnestly with>ut the hope of pay as for a prince- j y reward. Men in high station ^ ind in low station in life aliko . :all him their friend. Men who y lisagree with him in politics? >rominent citizens who for one _ .. ifi euMou or mourner are ordinarily ^ tot interested in an election to oj rote?always go to the polls when j dr Finley is a candidate. It is a veil known fact that on the day of , t( he recent elect ion,one well-known itizen of Yorkville who was in ^ ,nother part of the State on busi. . 11 iess, came all the way to Yorkille?a distance of 60 or 70 miles j ?for no other purpose than to , ote for Mr Finley, and this genleman had to go back next day to he very point from which he bad x>me. i These are some of the reasons > K vhy the people of York want Mr. at Fin ley elected. I know, too, that ^ ?nnntv Ua i a m # ?? 1 rv.. u . AAV AO O iau ll^UtCI though always vigorous in the ai iroseeution of the interests of his gi :lients and absolutely fearless, he r? morns a questionable advantage. ; Rut the idea I would convey herejpi s l>est illustrated in a peculiar ki fact. A large percentage of his pi jlientage today is composed of hi uen whom, at one time or anoth. hi ?r, he has defeated in lawsuits, ct \nd still another significant fact ir ilong this line, indicating the tr toundness of Mr. Finley's legal ai judgment, is that in not more than ol i half a dozen cases has he ever ct Men defeated after having, as the is representative of the plaintiff, ad- y< riaed the institution of proceed. b< ngs. si In all that pertains to the edu- 3( national, moral and religious wel 'arc of bis people, Mr Finley also t( itands hich. He is a rulinnr oliW ft lie is to the people of Y< 80 wil1 he be to the pec e rest of the district.
