CUIICB|j;jUUClJl Ul LUC iiono uuu Courier, wiitiDg from Orangeburg, rnakts these flattering remarks or two of our prominent citizens: ' It has been suggested that it would be very appropriate for the people of the district to elc-ct Mr. A. Frank Lever, of Lexington county, to fill out the unexpired term of Dr. Stokes. Mr. Lever ha3 been secretary to Dr. Stokes for several years and was very close to him, personally and politically, and for the past several months has had entire charge of all business matters in connection with the office, Dr. Stokes7 health not permitting him to give any attention to his official duties. Mr. Lever is a young man of considerable ability, is a good speaker and was elected by a very large vote to the Legislature from Lexington county last summer.

"It is said here that Mr. C. M. Eard, of Lexington county, has had Congressional aspirations for some time.

Tuesday of next week the State r DemocraticExecutive Committee will ? meet to arrange for a primary elec- g tion and campaign to select a Demo- i cratic nominee for the office of Con- v Q gressman from the Seventh District r to succeed the late Dr. J. Wm. Stokes, a The interest in the contest is steadily ? growing and the crop of possible F candidates is rapidly growing. The t latest mention in connection with the f r race is Col G T. Graham, of Lex- ^ ington county, and Mr. E D. Smith, s of Sumter. ' c Yesterday CjI. Thomas F. Brant- e ley of Orangeburg, who was iu the ? race three years ago, and whose friends have strongly urged him to t run this time, was in the city. When d asked about the race he spoke of the 8 loss the district had sustained in the ? death of Dr. Stokes, and when asked f about his own candidacy he said: r "Yes, I will be a candidate. As is 0 ' s well known bv many people of my i t district I have been intimately and c actively associated with the princi- ? ple6 of the national Democracy for t some years past. At the request of t the national Democratic Executive x Committee I have twice been actively ^ engaged in the canvassing and speak- <3 ing in doubtful States for Democracy. a I have once made a canvass of my f district on national issues, and since t then I have been elected to the leg- 1 islature aDd the State Senate from t my county. For these and other p reasons my friends urge that I am * entitled to consideration, and that 1 ' e 'logically' I must run. Yet I approach the coming canvass with some e hesitation, knowing that should I * succeed I am to follow one who has j bec-n entirely satisfactory to his con- r stitusnts. I know that it will re- ; n quire hard and persistent work to 8 carry on the duties devolving upon c the office with the march and pro- ? gress of the times, but as it has been -] my ambition in life to represent my ( people in the national affairs of our 1 government, and as I have worked t faithfully and persistently to that 1 end, I see no reason now when the c ' a time is opportune that I should not i make the race. To measure up to 1 the high standard of the require- a ments of this eshaulted position and , win the 'well done' of a grateful constituency is the sum of my ambition " c When asked as to who would likely { be his opponents Senator Brantlv % said: "I do not know; they seem too a numerous to mention.'' Asked as to c his chance he modestly replied: t "Why, they are, of course, 'good." a Did you ever see a candidate who did c not have 'good chances?'" 1 c ? j For Information. , To the Editor of the Dispatch: At the time of the unfortunate s death of Congressman Stokes, there * was necessarily considerable unfinisbpd work nf interest to the Dis- ^ trict, pending in the various Depart- * ments at Washington. As his Private .Secretary for about five years, having for the last several j months of his life entire charge of all work of a congressional nature, I j, may be able to furnish parties wish- } ing it, information in reference to J matters iD which they are particu- f larly concerned: aod until bis sue- v cessor is chosen, I will gladly do the v best I can in this direction for those 1 who will communicate with me. Of course, I have no official &tatus, | and whatever I am able to do in keeping the District in touch with f its interest, will be the result of a ! private arrangement made with that t object in view. \ Every effort is beiDg made to have j tbe liural J'ree lOeiivery serv:c?, on t routes already laid out, begin at the i earliest moment possible. We be- t lieved that this service would begin t tbe first of July, but for some reason, v the Department at Washington has 1 not issued tbe orders to begin tbe J work, though we confidently hope J this will soon be done.

The irepress we have made, the government re have built tip, the nation we have crated. all seem like fancies, and we are eally lost in amazement at the content dation. Today seventy six millions of American freemen bow down at the altar if liberty erfcted by our forefathers and tour out their labat ions of praise.

The promised land, flowing with milk ,nd honey, was the encouragement held >ut to the Israelites in their desolate wanlerings in the wilderness. Without this hey would have faltered and fallen by be wayside and never accomplished the livine purpose of their deliverance from Egyptian bondage. As a nation we have cached a crisis equally as important as hat which confronted the Israelites, and he encouragement offered us is the world s our promised land, where we are to dant the seeds of freedom and christiauty and labor to fructify and enrich them, intil they shall grow up and the nations 1.-11 i:? a ;?> nodco umlf>r their shade. uail lie UV?^n Hi J/V.4W __ L'he same power which brought the watilerers at last out of the wilderness is susaining us. and if we arc true to duty and lestiny it will bring us into the promised and of our hopes and rewards. ."-Mich a ontemplation is bewildering, and yet if reread tha signs of the times correctly, re are as a nation moving on to such a lestiny. The great e\ents in the future of our epublic can l>e predicted with some de;ree of certainty. One of the pre-eminent vents will l>e a union of the Englishpeaking race, in which Anglo-Saxon deas of liberty and christian civilization rill become predominant, and finally ontrol the politics, the policies and comnerce of the world. There may not he iny political alliance between the republi .. - . 1 r t an L nitea r>intes ami iiiuuuitai^ai ui^?>. Britain, but there will be a unity of purlose which will link them together in the >onds of a common interest and race afiliation. With such a combination of esources and power, it will be possible to lisseminate throughout the earth the pirit of liberty now permeating the entire Lnglo-Saxon race. In time the prophecy if the last century that Kuropc would besome republican or Cossack will be ful illed. The Eastern question of to day is the >aginning of the final struggle. With a mion of the English-speaking peoples the lespotism of Russia will be destroyed, .nd all the nations will be forced into the irusade for liberating mankind from the (lighting tyranny under which it has sufered for centuries. What an entrancing icture?the unity of all the nations in ine common and patriotic purpose, to ecure universal human freedom and hrough it to unite the race of man in ne national brotherhood. Let it be mi[erstood that in any future alliance, either mplied or explicit, the United States is he master of the situation. That this is rue is evident to any business man, who vill consider for a moment the trade situ;tion of the world. All of the nations ot Curope, including Great Britain, have so lense a population, that every foot of rea, if cultivated to its fullest extent, pould not produce sufficient food to suptort the people. The United States, upoD he other hand, produces vastly more han it consumes. It controls the food of he world, and any retaliatory measures iv foreign nations intended to curtail the iroducts of commerce or industry in the Jnited States could be effectually stopped ly similar measures as to our own food xports. The retaliatory measures now threatend by Russia will not be carried out for his reason. Russia made a bluff and rben the United States called the bluff, lussia, instead of carrying out its threat, laced the entire matter in the hands of he minister to the United States, and it s now a question of diplomacy, which is olved so far as the threats of Russia are I oncerned. The time was when London J ,nd Liverpool as jobbing centers, practially controlled the trade of the world. ?hat trade has practically passed from Jreat Britain to the United States. The >alance of trade in favor of this country luring the past three years has been a litle over a billion and one-half dollars, lad the United States not been a debtor ountry, this amount would have been tdded to the surplus gold in this country, k billion dollars of this has been used in rnying up American securities held ibroad until our railroads, which were :ontrolled by English capital, are now in American hands. We have now purchased the control over ?ur own industries. Notwithstanding the act that this caused the exportation of ast quan;itie3 of gold to Europe, the balinee of trade has been so greatly in excess if the payment of such indebtedness that he gold reserves of the foreign nation? ire decreasing, while the gold reserves of iur own banks are increasing. Foreign lations for the first time in history have :ome to American banks for their gold, .f properly handled, this balance of trade rill increase from year to year. As the otal gold outside of the United States low in existence is oniy auuui iukc mvnand million dollars, if we sell for gold all bat we sell, and buy for gold all that we my, it would take only a few years to rain the world of its entire gold supply. Ingland held precisely this position as to he world's trade when it demonetized ilver and by that action transferred the ontrol of the world's finances from the lague to the Thames. As the United itates now holds this position, she is rapdly transferring it from Loudon to New fork. When this transfer is complete, Ingland will be the first country to coin lain that there is not sufficient gold with rhicli to conduct the business of the rorid, and will ask to have restored a bi netallie basis. Another event will be the assumption by he United States of t he obligation of ar?iter in all international disputes. Her oinmanding political and commercial inluence will insure the concession of this rerogative. In China, during the present onvocalion of the great powers, the Jnited States supported by Great Britain lave controlled to a considerable extent he negotiations. Last year Russia pro>osed the establishment of an internaional peace tribunal, and actually led in he deliberations at the Hague. In this vorid's pacific convention t e governnents representing the Kngliah-speaking peoples exercised a controlling influence. L'bis pacific action on the part of Russia md other nations was a recognition of he coming ascendancy of the United states in the affairs of the world. To-day vere it not for the conservative intervenion of our nation, supported by Great iritain, China would be dismembered md her territory partitioned among the ? ss CO S3 1 ? ^ II ?9 You are invitee m 1 GEEGC February l-l ly ^karlestgnJ]oor^ MANUFACT BOORS, BASH, BL KILL WORK f Writs for Estimate. > CATAI Wg Save You Money.

European powers. ie iuevitaJitJ ten- I dency of this recognition of our growing power and influence as a nation is to make the United .States the arbiter in the international disoutes of the near future. When this consummation, devoutly to be wished, is realized, the peace and rapid progress of mankind will be assured. The I Anglo Saxon peoples have always promoted the cause of human liberty and advancement. and with their control of the destinies of the race the near future will hail the early dawn of tne promised millenium. Another event of the future will be the complete commercial supremacy of the the great highway upon which her teeming products will he borne to every land. With the Atlantic and Pacific joined by the Xicaraguan canal her sails will whiten every harbor, and sea, and ocean, and lake, and her commerce will be the commerce of the world. With her natural advantages her undeveloped resources and her hundreds of millions of inventive and progressive population, she can defy efforts of the other nations to rival her productions and trade, and to snatch from her the crown of commercial supremacy. Another event of transcendant importance will be the complete triumph of the gospel of Christ through the achievements of the Anglo-Saxon race. With the star spangled banner of the United States in consort with the Hag of the British empire floating in every harbor and ocean of the globe, all peoples will be aroused from their heathen sleep of sixty centuries and brought to a knowledge of the true God. These Hags represent all the substantial human progress in the ages past, the highest and best civilization founded upon the moral law. governments the most per feet ever instituted, and the true spirit ot human freedom. Re tore the aggressive power and influence they exercise, effete systems of civilization and religion will crumble and fall, and all the heathen nations will join in hosaunahs to the one true and living ' Jod. It was never designed that individuals should light singly t lie battles of the cross. All they can accomplish by individual efforts is to convert individuals to the true faith. It is the mission of nations t j achieve fruitful victories under the banner of the cross and spread Christianity.

Lee, Wheeler and our own gallant t ! Butler were honored equally with (Irani, j Logan and Harrison. On this anniversary 1 I day. we can rejoice not only at the liberty ( granted us under the declaration made on | j July Oth. !7?0. but we can thank God that . I we are now a united people, ami that our house is no longer divided against, itself. From the rock bound coasts 01 .Maine to I the Pacific Golden (late; from Superior's j : crystal waters m|the evergreen shores of : j the Mexican sei. brothers are we all, ! proud of the stars and stripes whether we come from the rising or setting ?un, from I the bleak prairies of the Dakotasor the j sunny slopes of tlie Carolinas, content to < i rest beneath its folds from the dawning of ( i the morn, when the earth is wrapped in ; gray, to the eventide, when the skies dou ] the blue.
