Senate. i 1 To the Kditor of the Sta*e : The press of the State have discussed my open letter to the pro hibition Democrats of South Carolina as if I had already announci ed myself as a candidate for U. S. ; Senator to succeed Senator Till! man. My candidacy is conditioni j ed upon the endorsement of the i prohibition Democrats, and my i | communication to them was writ;! ten because snnm of ?>?' i. - - J iHUIIVIC i wore discussing the matter and > wanted some expression from me * in regard to it. 1 expected after * stilting my position that the quesj tion would not he discussed until 5 some action had been taken 1>> j the prohibitionists. My statement was to them, i hence I did not express myself or i i any other Mibject, and until the} have expressed themselves it woul< * be unbecoming in me or n?\ t friends to claim that 1 was tin -(candidate of the prohibition wing of the democratic party. The im portance of the prohibition demo crats controlling the policy of tin State in regard to the sale of in3 toxicating liquors, instead of tin . dispensary and whiskey intluenci t dictating the policy as it now does is far more important than tin f success of any individual, am j their endorsement must conn 3 without any effort on my part t( I secure it or I will not bo a candi t date. 3 The newspapers of the. Stat* s have jriticised my letter freely ^ some kindly, hut many have heei i very unfair. As 1 have no desirt ? to reply to those who havo heei unjust in the same spirit tha their editorials were written, 1 s would say that I would challengi t any one, or all of them, to poin - out ono act of mine that ever re> i suited in injury to my party oi : State, or that was not influence! ^! hv the hi idlest nnitivi's t\?r tb? good of the people.

I deem it proper that ! | 'should make this statement to tin l press in view of the publicity thai I has been given to my letter to tin " prohibition democrats, and let nu . say in cone usion that in speaking | of my candidacy I would ask thai jvm ?u\ , ii i am a candidate, j .(will ho a Democratic candidatt t i representing tlie views I have ex t pressed on the whiskey question, as Senator Tillman will likely " | represent the dispensary side ol ^ lit, for I am first a Democrat, ntu [ if permitted to do so will discuss ' rot only this subject hut othei i matters of importance that tin s Democracy of the State are inter. osted in.

"Cotton does not pay the actual cost of production, yet I am j obliged to raise cotton to pay niy ! debts." This is the substance of much talk that we hear, and how absurd. If it pays debts, there must be some profit in it; if it does not pay for production, then surely there is nothing left to pay debts. What a Wo pa Naural?la^ f*. Milan* Pain PUla.
