Lever's Ee-electicn Assured.
It is with unalloyed pleasure that
we Dotice the growing popularity of
our young Congressman and splendid
record he has made for himself during
the short time be has been in
national politics. Everywhere this
young statesman has appeared in
lio Vioa on oKlc on foitb- I
iLJC UiDlllWU UU USD o\j t*ik/ij j uv
fully and so conscientiously represened,
new laurels have been added to
mark his progress into the confidence
and esteem of his fellow citizens. He
is deserving of the full measure of
praise bestowed upon him in the
past and is the grateful recipient of
them because he has been faithful to
fj
the interests of his constituents and
true to hie promises. In ail his
undertakings he has been phenominally
successful because, being first
satisfied with the righteousness of his
cause, he has gone about its accomplishment
with a vim and energy
that impressed those whose assistance
he invoked as necessary for the sue
cess of his object, with his sincerity,
and won for him their sympathy and
support.
Oq the hustings the people have
shown their appreciation of his
worth and merit as a representative
by giviDg him such ovations as to
deeply stir his heart and to strengthen
his determination to redouble his
efforts to accomplish more for them
when he takes his seat in the fifty
eight congTess than was possible
for him to do under his invironment
io the past.
In Richland, Sumter and Orangeburg
counties, to say nothing of Lee
and LexingtoD, he is beyond question
the "man of the hour,'' and the
most cordial reception was given at
the campaign meetings held in the
counties first named. Speaking of
the Sumter meeting the correspondent
of the News and Courier says:
Mr. A. F. Lever and J. B. McLauchliD,
candidates for Congress from this,
the 7th district, closed the meeting.
Mr. Lever was the first speaker
and hie appearaDce was the means
of waking up the sleepy audience
like a tired congregation feels when
a minister, on a hot Sunday, announces
the long meter Doxology. They
applauded and cheered him as he
toed the foot lights. His was a
Fourth of July oration (delayed in
transmission.) He told why we do
not want the Filipinos and discussed
the Republican expansion policy. He
attacked President Roosevelt for his
Bpeech in which be took Southerners
to task for criticising the actions of
the American troops in the Philippines.
His position on national issues
is identical with that of the candi- i
dates for the Uoited States Senate.
He asked that he be measured not
around the waist, but around the
forehead, and premised to do all in
his power for his constituents if
elected.
Mr. J. B. McLauchlin's turn came
next- He was at a great deal of disadvantage,
for the audience was
worn out. He charged that the
Senators had stolen all his marbles
and do part of his speech waa left.
T-r 1-1 TT T 3 l_t:
ne, use Jir. nempniu, u?u iciauvca |
from time immemorial in Sumter j
county and promised to make it
warm for his competitor in bis
Congressional campaign. "We need ;
men in Congress aDd not children," j
S8id Mr. McLauchlin. (Cries of i
"Hurrah for Lever!") "When men I
get in office they never get out until
you put them out." He closed with j
a speech against expansion and the j
free pass bill.
At Orangeburg, the ovation given j
#
Mr. Lever was even more marked by
reason of it being the home county
of bis opponent. Private advices
received from there are to the effect
that he carried the crowd by storm,
and that at the conclusion of his
speech he was lifted bodily from the
stand by stalwart and enthusiastic
admirers. Our information is, and
it did not come from Mr. Lever
either, that if there ever was a doubt
about the Lexington boy carrying
~ - ' i i 1 - L i
Orangeburg county, mas aouot was
dissipated by the demonstrations at
this meeting. We have not a word
to say 8gainst Mr. McLauchlin. It
is his right to enter the race for Congress
from the Seventh District
if he sees fit to ao so. He may be a
good, competent and capable young
man for aught we know to the contrary,
but he is simply not in it and
never was from the beginning. Mr.
Lever is entitled to a re election by
every consideration. His merit has
won it for him; his devotion to duty,
the interest of the people and the
wellfare of the District all point in
perfect harmony in demanding his
return to Congress.
The barbecue at Pond Branch last
Saturday is deserving of more tbaD
passing notice because it was practic
ally the opening of the county campaigo.
The turn out of the people
was very satisfactory and was an
incentive for the boys to warm up in
telling the dear people the whys and
the wherefores cf their platform of
principles aDd their peculiar fitness
to perform the duties of the office to
which they aspired. The crowd
numbered about 250, who had left
their homes to hear the political
issues discussed and to pull pig ribs
and mutton chops. The crowd was
a representative one and these people
have a wide reputation for their high
standard of citizenship, their intelligence
and their interest in religious
? 1 ? 1 1 it ". -
and social duties wmcn mases mis a
rich field in which to harvest votes,
and it is but natural for the candidates
to plant deep, sow theseedB well
and fully cultivate the soil so as to
reap an abundant yield on the day
of election. All the candidates announced
up to that time were present
excepting W. M. Wilson, B B. Hilltr,
Paul E. Hutto, Wm. A. Spires Jr.,
and George A. Shealy. Not being
able to be present in person we have
to depend upon the well written account
of the meeting sent us by Mr.
Cyrus L. Shealy of Summit, which is
published else where in this issue.
The senatorial meeting at St.
George's was the most exciting one
so far held. The incident that made
it such was the giving of the "lie"
to Latimer by Evans. At one time
things looked really squally and the
interference of the Sheriff was riecessary
to quell the disturbance. Daring
the recess for dinner Latimer
went to the room of Evans and demanded
an interview. This was
declined and Evans' left his room
and dined at another hotel. Tbe
incident for that day closed, but
there is no telling when and where
it will break out again as both aspirants
for the Senatorial toga are
standing over a powder magazine and
it only needs the match to be applied
to send them both into kingdom
come. Evans had on several occasions
referred to Latimer as using
free railroad passes, dealing in pictures,
claiming the credit for the
adoption of the Free Rural Delivery
system, etc. Latimer said be was
tired of being probed with such stuff
and retaliated by reminding Evans
of the $15,000 bond deal, whisky
rabatea and several other minor
charges for him to answer. Evans
denied these charges as a lie and any
one who repeated them was a liar.
This brought on the trouble. It is a
case of whose ox is gored and might
be well enough for every fellow to
see that his own dirty linen is clean.

Correspondents Rending articles to
this office for publication are reminded
that the true name of the
author must accompany them. Writers
can use nom de plumes if they so desire
but their true name must be
known at this office as a guarantee of
good faith. This explains why two
articles from Lorena does not appear
in this issue.
Watch the Quiet Vote.
Fjom the accounts sent to his
papers by Mr. J. E. Norment one
would judge that the canvass of Mr.
Heyward for Governor that his was
nothing but a triumphal march from
the mountains to the sea and he
already had his baggage checked
through for the Governor's oftbe, but
when we remember that two years
ago the same papers had Hoyt elected,
and after the election it was found,
however, that while Hoyt got the

the bouquets now but Dr. Timmerman,

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I have thought a long while that
some citizen of our county would
publicly advocate the annexation of a
strip of territory so as to take in that
part of Batesburg that lies in Saluda
county, and more especially since
Little Mountain went over to Newberry
and came near causing us to
lose our newly acquired representative.
Would it not be the part of
wisdom to take this step and thus
avoid the loss of our representative
or the wrangle over it ? The above
i3 written without any knowledge as
to the will of the people of Batesburg
but it looks reasonable that the town
as a corporation would prefer being
In one county. We would be glad to
see this done for the good of the
