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.
The advantages in this arrangement

W0U1U D0 ILIBI tilt) UUJJUIOUCU wuin
of Congressman Stokes could thus be
pushed by a man familiar with the
details and there would be less of a
break than should a new man be selected.
"It is said here that Mr. C. M.
Eard, of Lexington county, has had
Congressional aspirations for some
time. He was a close friend to Dr.
Stokes and would not run against
him, and it may be that he will take
advantage of this opportunity to attempt
to secure the coveted honor.

THE COMING RACE FOR CONGRESS. *
Senator Brantley Tells Why He is a J
Candidate and Hopes to Win. v
Columbia State, 15th inst.
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

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.
Very respectfully, t

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. A cell
ury hence, if we are true to constitutional
:overnment and human liberty, two butt
Ired millions will gather around theallar.
V ml m t lit? fwit nries rf>ll on t housands of

efrain. The day of man's deliverance has
ome, liberty aud Christianity, now and
oreyer.
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

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

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.
Paul labored and preached all over the
known world in his time, but it was the
conquering banner of Constantine supported
by all the power of the Roman empire
that crystallized results and made
effective the preaching of the L'reat apostle
of the < Jen tiles.
It seems chat toournation is committed
the work in these latter days of planting
the banner of the cross m tbe isles of tlig

fulfilling the prophecy that all peoples
! and tongues shall bow and worship the
! true God. This work of the evangelizai
tion of the world was not ready for accomj
plisl-ment after Paul's preaching and
I Luther's reformation, but was reserved i
j for one of the era-making events of the (j
20th century, if as a nation we are true
| to duty, opportunity and our appointed
| destiny, we will :>e the favored national
| instrumentality to fight the decisive bat- I
j tie of Armageddon, and to achieve the |
: final and complete victory for Cnristi- I
I anity.
We cannot as a nation avoid these sac- i
! red obligations imposed upon us. We :
i must go forward and meet the grave responsibilities
of the future. They can be
I discharged, and when they are, what a !
glorious future there will be for our ! ,
I nation and for the Au^lo-Saxon race, with }
one language, one civilization, onechris!
tianity. and our perfect political institu'
tions spread til over the habitable earth.
, Then the pages of history will be nothing j
but the entrancing story of the glorious j
achievements of our republic. The world ;
[ will be wrapped in a mantle of peace, the
race of man will have achieved all it was j
i /U0i?noH rn aronmulish. and the nations |
j will pursue in hrrmony the arts of peace [
; and the path of happiness, and thus enjoy
J the full fruition of the efforts of man for i

i The war with Spain, if it meant nothing I
; more, has be?-n worth ten times the blood '
and treasure it cost in reuniting thiscoun!
try. We had a President in the White
| House who was not afraid to trust ex- !
I Confederates. He not only spoke lovingly '
of our dead, but he trusted the command .
j of the armies of the I'nited States and j
the honor of this country to ex-Coufeder- i!
ates. 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.
