The True Reason Why.
So far both the Senatorial and
State candidates have met with poor
incouragement in regard to the attendance
upon the campaign meetings.
As yet the meetings have been
very slimly attended by the voters.
The audiences have been made up
mostly of women and children with
a sprinkling of qualified electors.
There has but little or no interest
manifested in the campaign. At this
time it seems that the chances lor
success depends almost entirely upcn
that candidate who has the ability tc
persuade the most personal friends
to go to the polls and vote for him.
This lethargy on the part of the voters
is being generally commented
, upon and even the candidates themselves
are complaining of the indifference
of the people. Various causes
have been assigned as the reason for
this lukewarmness, the most prominent
one of which being the busy
season among the farmers,but the true
reason, we think, can be traced back |
to the action of the State contention
in shutting off all debate on the momentous
issues which now confront
the American people. By its action
that convention has gagged the candidates
and bound them to a rejected
AsmA Rlntfn?m niriA fV?Cm I
OUU ucau uxcitiui JLU auu xui mouv buv uu
to discuss live issues more suitable !
to the condition of cur people. The j
candidates are, therefore, compelled |
to repeat their same old story from j
place to place like school children !
repeating their A, B. C's. The meetings
have been robbed of every element
of interest and the people do
not feel justified in losing a couple
pf days from their farm work
just to be told over and over again
what their grandfathers did in the
long ago. What they want to
learn is how to obtain the highest
prices for their products; how to
make bread and meat and cotLe
themselves and their loved ones; pay
their debts, and lay up something to
Bupport them when the infirmities of ]
old age overtakes them. These things
are of all absorbing interest to all
conditions of people and to learn
this lesson they would make any reasonable
sacrifice. But, alat! these
beneficial lessons cannot now be
taught because the powers that be
in this State have said they are Republican
doctrines and contrary to
the teachings and traditions of a
Mr. Thomas Jefferson.

"Scraps of History."
GEORGE PRICE.
It is to be deplored that the large
and excellent and well known Pi ice
family have not been sble to procure
more with reference to their venerable
ancestors than the meagre account
which is here written. This is
among the largest families in the
county and have been noted throughout
their history for industry and integrity,
and for their quiet and unassuming
manners and their pure
and unpretentious patriotism. There
have been not less than five hundred
descendants of the first of the name
to settle here.
George Price came from Germany
to Pennsylvania about the middle of
the Eighteenth century, and probably
about the year 1761, moved to South
Carolina. Tradition tells that he set
! tied first cn an island in the Sactee
river, believing he had found a quiet
retreat where he could pass the re;
mainder of life in ease and comfort
I with the fruits of his industry around
I him.
An unusual and unexpected rise in
' the river swept everything while he
| and bis family were with difficulty
rescued in boats from the raging torrent.
He moved next to the section
of country between the Broad and
Saluda, and later to the place new
i known as Priceville, some five miles
j from Lewiedale. Here be lived and
j died and is buried. He left three
chi'dren. Catherine, who married
Jacob Rswl. George married a Miss
Parr, of the well known family of
that name now living in Broad River
I township. Christina was married to i
! Matthias Snjder.
George, Jr, left six children?
Mary married Absolem King. Cath- j
erine married George Keisler, Barbara
married David Weaver. Jacob |
married Catherine Down. Christian
married Sallie Oswalt. George married
Delilah Oswalt. It is seen that
the elder Price's descendants are
[ connected with a number of the large
and prominent families in the county.
Some of the early members of the
family are believed to have served in
the Continental army. Twenty-one
of the name are known to have served
gallantly in the Confederate army.

many others of different name3 with
Price blood in their veins were true
to their county and Stat? during the
Civil war as at ail times before and !
since.
No one regrets more than the
writer that this account of this excellent
family is, for want of fuller
information, necessarily so incomplete.

Columbia, S. C, June 20?The
| Columbia, Newberry and Laurens
I train that left this city at 12:30 last
night ran ii_to a freight car at Leaphart's,
in Lexington county, and the
j engine and two cars were ditched,
| the engineer, W. A. Clifton, being
| seriously hurt. It was clearly an at|
tempt to wreck the train and an efj
fort will at ODce be made to find the
| parties guilty of such a crime. There
! is a siding at Leapbart's, yesterday
: a car was left there. Last night the
! train came around the curve just bei
low the depot and as there were no
| orders to stop there, they were run|
ning at a fair rate of speed. Without
: any warning the train crushed into
i the flat car and the engineer and two
i cars were ditched. Mr. Clifton was
s
I the only one hurt, although it was a
i narrow escape for the whole crew.
| Mr. Clifton was at once brought to
: Columbia, and taken to the hospital,
where he was reported doing well
I this morniDg and it was reported
j that he would be all right in a short
| time.
Trainmaster Summersett went up
j to the scene this morning and the
i track was at orce cleared for traffic.

S the track was repaired at once and

Appearances indicate that the socalled
