Wednesday, July 23,1902.
Next Monday the candidates for
United States Senator will be in Lexington
to address tbe people on
questions in reference to the policy
of the National government in dealing
with the governed and its relation
with foreign powers.
The candidates are all more or less
known to the people of the State
either personally or by reputation by
reason of their past public and private
records, and in coming before the
people asking their suffrage to elevate
one among their number to the highest
political position within power of
of a sovereign people to bestow,
they are but exercising a right vouch
sated to them by the ruleB and regulations
of the Democratic party of
this State. They are all hightoned
gentlemen and eminent statesmen
who, with but one exception, have a
national reputation in forming the
policies and measures of the party.
It is an honor to seek the position
to which they aspire and in honoring
either one of them the people will
reflect honor upon themselves. These
gentlemeD have complied with all the
requirements of the rules governing
primary elections; have paid their
assessments for the privilege of contending
for the place and in return
~ n?nn/if on/) if Jo
Uttve Ik liu ca^icvi, auu u to
bat natural for them to do so, a large
turnout of Democratic voters at these
campaign meetings and an attentive
hearing. Lexington has the reputation
of giving the candidates large
audiences as well as close attention
and we want the reputation of the
old county sustained next Monday.
Everybody should show their interest
in the party's welfare by coming
to the court house next Monday and
hear what these silver tongued orators
have to say for themselves. It
will be a day will spent, and while it
cannot be classed as strictly a campaign
of education yet much can be
learned by attending it, so let every
man, woman and child in Lexington
county assemble at the court house
early next Monday morning.
Col. W. J. Bryan is opposed to the
efforts being made to harmonize the
different discordant elements in the
Democratic ranks so as to place the
riofli fn tmofnrr TTa ia
y?JL I'J 1U WUO ^/UVU iv ?4VkV* J MW ?k/
fighting the proposition to reorganize
the party on broader and more liberal
policies and in spirit, if rot in letter,
is willing to see the party go down
again in defeat rather than to surrender
the populietic policies which have
been eDgrafted upon the body politic
and sucked its vitals and energy. A
re-urn to the pure, simple doctrine of
Jefferson would infuse new life and
new vigor into the dried up arteries
and the warning hopes caused by
the repeated defeats which have
overtaken it since the civil war
through the mistakes, short sightedness
and narrow mindedness of those
who have been entrusted by the people
with its leadership, who have
been victims of the glamor of false
lights and the advocates of unsound
doctrines.
Each one of the six candidates for
"United States Senator is pledged in
advance to play second fiddle to the
Hon. Benjamin Ryan Tillman, so as
to measures it is a matter of no moment
which one of the half dozen
chimes in the chorus with "me too.''
A deadly whirlwind visited different
portions of the North on July
20, destroying much property and
hilling and injuiing many persons.
Candidate Heyward, in his ppeech
at this place campaign day, declared
that the South should not now b9 so
much concerned about political questions
as it should be in industrial
ones, and by way of illustration compared
the prosperous condition cf the
New England States, which had given
its fostering care and attention almost
entirely to the encouragement of its
industrial interests to the exclusion
of political ones, with the condition
of the South which has heretofore
i oriTTcn if.q pnHre time and attention
ft* *
to politics to the injury of its industrial
interests. This is eminently
correct and the sentiment is as sound
as a gold dollar, but this doctrine is
double distilled Republicanism and
in giving expression to it Candidale
Heyward was venturing on exceedingly
dangerous ground.
Col. Micah Jenkins, the successor
of Mr. George R Koester as Inter-1
nal Revenue Collector for South Carolina,
has taken charge of the office.
It is rumored that be will make his
headquarters at Charleston so as to j
enjoy the company of his numerous j
relatives, but the story is not credited
by the inner circle of that city.
As we go to press we learn that
Cambeh is at the mercy of a coDfhgation
which is beyond the control

the Columbia firemen to the
rescue.
The city of Columbia is soon to be
at the head of navigation with a line
of steamers plying between that city
and Georgetown. A company has
been organized for the purpose with
ample capital at the back of it.
President Roosevelt reprimands
General Smith for orders issued by
the general to "kill and burn5' in the
Philippine Islands, and ordered hie
retirement from the army.
The reason the United States has
determined that the friars must leave
the Philippine Islands i3 that the
lay Catholics and the parish priests
demand it.
The senate having failed to con
j firm J. P. Murphy as postmaster at
Bamberg, the president has reappointed
