THE LEDGER. [' ? Th'ir^ow S. Carter. 1 i EDITOR AND MANAGER. SATIMDAV, SKIT. 10, 1808. Every vote cust for Tillman, Schumpert ami Watson in the rovont primary was a vote against Ellerbe for these gentlemen fought him from start to tinish in the campaign. IIis weakness as an executive, his military appointments, apparent deals, etc., were spoken from every platform. It is reasonable then to suppose that the votes of these gentlemen in the tirst, will go to Featherstone in the second ptimary, and that he will roll up a big major ity. Tin; Yorkville Knquirer bays that it iv reported in some sootions of the Fifth 1 >istriot that Mr linley is a drunken sot, and chn motorizes the report as m slander being circulated to accomplish Mr Kin ley's defeat. Voters who desire to know who Mr Finley is, what he has done, what he is capable of doing and the esteem in which he is held by the good people of York county, are requested to read the biographical sketch published in this issue and which appeared in the last issue of Tim Knquirer. Mr Featherstone has wpecilied promptly and unequivocally. Now what is Mr Filer ho going to do about it? That liquor was used m in the interest of the dispensary N i: i ? i , i...4 41... -i: 1 c:iii<iiu?iir?s Sinn luat mi; uimitrusary otiicials, candidates and con- ^ stables, winked at it, is pri ven. * What has Mr Lllerhe to say in defence of his system and of the ' manner of enforcing it? ? Sumter Freeman. The Fact in the Case. Mr .1 S Drakeford, editor of the orkvillo Yeoman, was in Kershaw last M< nday and was shown a letter being circulated for the purpose of injuring Mr Finley in the congressional race. He also heard on the streets there a rumor that Mr. Finley is a drunkard. In his paper of yesterday Mr. Drakeford says : "As to the letter recommending MrXewbold as Chief State Detective and asking Gov. Kllorbe for his reappoint" inont en that ground : did any one who saw the letter examine the date of it Let them look it up and see when it was dated. It v. ill he found that the date was in January, 1St?7, a long time before New bold killed Turner. If the mi !. -, shown hear anv later date they lire forced. Mr. Fin Ley not I l>ein<* a prophet, did not know that 1 Newhohl was going to kill Turn- ' or. Hut ho knew lie was a good 1 detective, and recommended him 1 for that reason as a detective. Mr 1 Fiuley has never at any time re- 1 commended New hold for the po- * sition of State (.'onstalile. Look ' up the letter again and sec if this 1 is not true. It was written a few 1 weeks after the celebrated Ileese- * Luckio-Williams trial in Yorkville ' one of the most noted in the criminal annals of South Carolina. Rv his good detective work in this case, in locating and bringing the most important witness, Robert Anderson, from tlie? far awav territory of Arizona, Nmv bo Id changed certain defeat for the prose cntion by the State into a victory for decency, law, and justice. Tf' was a work for which the people of York county were profoundly grateful, and from that time up until the killing of Turner, Newbold could have gotten the uni|tialified endorsement, for reappoint* inent, of score* of the West christinn people of tha.county. Mr. Pinley never made any endorse- , ' 4' nont of him after Turner was >d, as some other prominent lie did, and when he was sut jjed as a witness for Xewbold atter's lawyers were afraid tr iim on the stand, because cnew he would tell the truth, ic was not asked to testify. As to the rumor of drun less : That is notoriously f [ have known him personally ive years (which is long eiu :o find out something about lod have never known him t< Irunk, nor even heard of his ng drunk until the slander r< red to here was circulated, natter of fact he is strictly i ierate. .Judge I I) Withers]) svho is known and loved all he State for his high char: ind pure life, when asked a .his pays over his own signs oday : 441 have never been present v Mr Finlev has taken a drill ifpior, and have never known o be under the influence of v toy." XV Brown Wylie, throe ti leeted clerk of the court of * nun picas for York county, oday: "I have known Hon I) K Fi or ten years and have novcr kn dm to lie drunk or that lie vhiskey to any extent." Rev Boyco II (irier, paste he A li Presliyterinn chore forkyillo, says over his ipnature today: '[have been the pastor oi ) K Finlcy for foui vears lave been intimately assoei vith hini and have never seen mder the influence of liquor lave yet to find the man who L-i l.V^l * i - .[jhi air rnney's intemperate.
