MATTER OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE. J
Because for the first time io the r
history of the county LexiDgton hss g
seen fit to put forward one of he) ^
brightest aDd most intelligent soDf- j
as a candidal* f -r ibeseat iu Congress g
made vacant by the untimely deatl f
of Dr. J Wm Stoke?, some of the 1
otber candidates lor mis posuioi j
have raited the cry if sectionalism ?
and are endeavoring to weaken Mr.
Lever's chances# of receiving the nom
ination. (
Now, prithee, on what grounds (
must Lexington press the claims oi <
her favorite son ? All the candidate* |
are men of ability, the nomination oi ,
either one of them would not affi.ct j
the material interests of the District; ,
on National issues there is a rematk- ]
nmnrn lllflm nnf OVOr. I
auto UUBUIUIllJ UUIJUq ruvui) <4W V ,
upon a siDgle one of the great (
National issues wbich are now eu
gagiDg tbe public attention do they '
dffer. Tbe hrst one who speaks j
announces bis platform and tbeotber (
four cbime in with the refrain o! (
"me too", hence there can be no (
choice of men or measures and there
is nothing left for tbe voter to make
his choice between them but the ,
claims of tbe county from which thcandidate
came cf having the honor
of naming the candidate.
We notice, theiefore, that out
Sumter coniemporaiy is urging tb*
nomination of Mr. E. D Smith,
solely on the ground that be is a sot
of Sumter. The Patriot is making
the same claim aDd upon identically
the fame ground for Mr Brantley,
namely, that he is an Orangeburg
man and should, for this reason receive
the support of the county. The
Press and Standard is urgiDg the
voters of Colleton to turn out aDd
vote for Major Howell on no otbei
consideration tbau that be is a Colleton
man, then where is the iinpro 4
priety or the sectionalism in Mr 1
Lever8 claim for suppoifc on the 1
ornnnd that he is a Lexinedonian ? '
? ^
Lexington's claim to name the 1
candidate for this position at this (
particular time is so plainly appear
ant that it caDnot help but be 1
recognized and appreciated. A1 1
though the only county in the Die (
trict having had all along a large
Democratic majority she has failed 1
to press her claims and has given the '
fall measure of her strength to a *
candidate named by another county '
This was not. because she had no son 1
who was fitted by education, expe- '
rience and moral worth to worthily
discbarge the duties of a Congress '
man, but from the fact that the en- 1
vironments were such that the most 1
perfect harmony in the ranks of the 1
Democracy were absolutely essential 1
to success. The times were such that
A * t V-k rt t 4l\ A m Aof AA n '
'I an UMTPWIJ tu?l bUC Uliuuct V/AU
Hon was necessary to maintain white
supremacy; and evpn the faintest '
shadow of disaffection could not be
tolerated without b-ung dangerous to 1
I
he interest of the Congressman in
holding his seat in a Republican j
house at. Washington. F?>r these
reasons Lexington patriotically (
waived her right for the time being j
and permitted'the otber coupties of j
the District to Darae the candidate, .
hence we find that Charleston, of ,
J
which Berkeley and portions of Dorchester
were parts, sent O'Connor and
Brawley; OraDgeburg selected Dib (
ble, and Izlnr, and Stoker; Sumter,
wbich was then in another District,
conferred the honor upon John S j
Richardson; and as to C >Heton and
that portioD of Richland within the (
District, while Dot having one of their
sons to represent t.hem, enj ryed that j
protection that Charleston and the
otber counties received by Lexing- J (
ton's large Democratic vote which ,
was the ody bulwaik that stood be {
tween tbem and negro domination j
Now Lexington feels that she can
consistently and appropriately ask
the other counties to give ber that j
support which is nectary to have (
Mr. Lever elected to Congress. Mr
Lever possesses all the ability necessary
to make a useful and efficient v
k.
Representative. His experience is
wide, bis perseverance indomitable {
and his energy tireless. Id asking
support for Mr. Lever we are codJB (
? -detfFtbat not one of the other candi ?
dates can possibly r< fleet more credit (
upon the District than will the can (
didate from Lexington YouDg and ?
ambitious with his life's history yet \
to write he will bring all the gifts 1
bestowed upon him by a generous
" nature to bear to make the pages of <t
that history glisten and sparkle with t
honorable transactions and measures (
tending toward the peace, happiness 1
and well being of his constituency as c
regards their temporal and moral i
conditions in life. 1
The probability is that the Septein 1
ber term of court will consume four j
weeks, just what we expected when I
the June term was postponed. The c
dockets of both courts are heavy, r
almost in a state of congestion. 1
Judge R C. Watts will preside. i
The Match Trust is not afraid of
strikes. The more the merrier. 8
As an evidence of the standing
if Mr. Lever at his own home and
nnoug bis own people, we meD^im
he interesting fact that in the priaary
election last year Spiiog Hill,
lis home box, gave him 82 votes ont
if 90 for a Representative, and Peak,
vhich is within a few miles of the
jlace where he was born and reared,
jave him 80 votes oat of 98, and the
vhole county the largest vote evei
jiven a candidate. These figures
(peak el quently of the great esteenj
tad confidence this deseivedly pcpu
ar young man occupies among the
DeoDle who know his moral charactei

ind intellectual ability best.
Iu the matter of the Neal pardor:
jovernor McSwceney has yielded
*> ihe wishes of thousands of South
Carolinians who have either signed a
petition asking for bis pardon or
who would have willingly done so

The trial was a most remaik-ible one
n that it developed into a clear case
)f persecution on the part of the
prosecution. The action of the Gov

The Campaign Meetings Resumed.
On Wednesday the campaigners
ipptared at Summit much refreshed
n body aDd mind aDd more de
ermined to come off conquerors iu
he battle of ballots for a seat in the
ower house of the General Assembly
>f the State.
The business interest of Summit
8 at a stand still, but little in the
mercantile line beiDg done. Lumber,
irossties and naval stores are its
backbone and mam stays, and at
. * . /v? .1 ! ??
Limes tiie tramc in tnese commodities
ire quite lively. The place is eligibly
situated, having good roads
ind a good back country to support
it and it is a very desirable location
for a man with capital and enterprise
back of him. It is notrd for its
boalthfulness, being the highest
point between Columbia and Augusta
as its name indicates. The people
of the surrounding country are thrifty
and God loving.
There was only a small audience
at tbis place. Mr. Paul H. Craps
was called to the chair and introduced
Mr. T. C. Sturkie. He covered
the same ground already reported,
md bis speech was given close attention.
He was followed by Mr. John
Bell Towill in a happy little talk in
which he reiterated his position on
questions of interest, and it was well
received. Dr. J. L. Shuler was the
last candidate to be introduced and
be entertained his audience with his
inimitable wit and humor and put
his hearers in a better condition to
jnjoy the barbecued dinner which was
mnounced as being ready at the conclusion
of the Doctor's BDcech.
After dinner Dr. W. H. Tiininer a^u
of Batesburg, was called for and
responded in a well time speech. He
explained the workings of the various
Jepartments of the State government
ind said that the people need look
'or no reduction of taxes as the State
government was being run a3 co
jomically as it possibly could be
without impairing its efficiency. lie
?aid that Clemson College received
ts revenues from the Morrill fund,
ind the experimental fund, appropriated
by the National government
for specific purposes aDd from the tag
;ax on fertilizers. He told many
>ther interesting facts in connection
with the intricate workings of the
stale onverninent. He said that he
attended the meeting with no inten,ion
of making a speech, his sole purpose
beiDg to form the accjuaintance
>f and mingle with the people of his
dopted county among whom he had
;ast bis lot for weal or woe. This
mded the entertainment for the day
ind the people returned to their
lomes much edified by what had
heen told them.
Friday found the candidate aggregation
at Chapin prepared to instruct
he neonle on economic ouestions.
3bapin is a thriving and progressive
ittle town, which has often been
sailed the Pearl of Dutch Fork. It
s delightfully situated on the Coumbia,
Newberry and Laurens rail oad,
about 20 miles from Columbia.
We were pleased to notice that its
>eople believe in improving the place
)y enlarging its store houses, its
iwellings and its streets. Her busi- .
less men are men of push and thev
teep things humming around them
n a way that gives the place a lively
md pleasing appearance.
Mr. S. J. Clark acted as the pre- i
iding officer and wielded the gavel J
as one familiar with its use. The
three candidates for the Legidature
were present. They spoke in order
as named, Dr. Shuler, Mr. Sturkie
and Mr. Towill. Each of the speak
ers went ( ver about the same ground
that they covered at the previous
meetings and nothing new wbs
brought out except Dr. Sbuler, w] o
opposed the proposed Soldier^ Home
and said that the old veterans should
be allowed to enjoy their small pit
tance around tbe fireside of loved
ones where tender hands could administer
to the waDts of declining
ige and brighten the few remaining
days of their pilgrimage on earth iD
tbe presence of tho^e for whom they
bore the brunt of battle. He favored
a bjard of pardons which would re
lieve the Governor of much responsibility.
Mr. Slurkie also opposed tbe
Soldier's Home.
Tbe meeting at ]>mo was only
moderately attended aDd our old
friend, Mr. J. W. Dreher, presided.
The distinguishing mark of thimppfinnr
was the close attention with
which
they followed each speaker
which was very encouraging to the
candidates and they roso to the demands
of the occasion and waxed
more eloquent as they proceeded.
They stated the platform on which
they were standing and explained
each plank in that platfoim. Each
candidate made friends at thesemett
ings and wore grestly encouraged by
the results of their speaking.
Irrao is quite a lively little place
and is on the upgrade to success.
Considerable business is carried on
in the lumber and wood interest.
The Dext and last meeting will be
at Brookland on the night of Sept.
7tb, and on the 10th of that month
the election will take place when
every voter is expected to go to the
polls and cast his vote for Lever for
Congress and his choice of the candidates
for the Legislature.

Five Men Killed.
The Columbia Evening Record, Aug. 27th.
Five men are dead, one is dyiDg,
and two a1? serioDsly hurt by reason
of an accident on the new Gongaree
bridge being built by the Southern
railroad. From what could be learned
this morning the fearful accident was
the result of nobody's fault, but was
just one of those things that are liable
to occur at almost anytime in such
enterprises. Reports in the city today
greatly exaggerated the accident,
though it was bad enough under any
circumstances. The dead men are
not Columbians, but that detracts
nothing from the horror of the result.
Two bridge girders about seventy
feet long, and weighing about fourteen
tons each, fell from the Southern
railroad trestle leading over the
Cougaree about 9 o'clock this morniDg,
and as a result four men are
dead, one is dying and two are seiiously
hurt.
The dead men are: Casselberry,
white; Alston, Tobias and Reese,
colored. "Sam," a colored man from
Anderson, is dying from injuries re- j
ceived; David Styles, colored, had his
leg and both arras broken, and Henry
Coleman, also colored, was struck in
the head and seriously hurt.
Just how the accident occurred no
one will ever be able to tell, but a
bridge builder gave the following as
the most plausible explanation. The
t
L?U fJUUCia ?U!C IJl l^tDU UU Cfltu DiUC
of the track and held in place by
blocks and hemp rope. The rain
Saturday afternoon caused the rope
to slip some. This morning the work
on the bridge caused one girder to
lose its balance and fall over against
the other, with the above result.
Coleman and Styles, who were the
only ones who went down and still
live, tell how the rest were killed
Casselberry, the white man, was
struck by the first beam and was instantly
killed.
Alston and Tobias were hit by the
timber and, also, instantly killed.
Reese was carried with the beam and
is still held.under the water by it.
The negro Sam, from Anderson,
(the last name could not be learned)
was struck in the back by flying tim- J
1 _ CI J 1 . .1 1
Ders, as were oty:es ana uoieman.
Every effort will be made to recover *
the body of lieese as soon as the other j
beam is taken from the track.
The track and trestle are not dam- I
aged any and trains will be run in
this afternoon.
Coroner Green went down as soon
as be heard of the accident, but it is j
thought the inquest will be held by I
the Lexington coroner.
The man reported as dying was ;
later in the afternoon reported as j
dead. This will make the list of
dead five men.

others, I chanced to see your sisrn upon your windows on 130th street New York. I at
once obtained a bottle of Asthmalene. My wife commenced taking it .about the lirst of |
