A Partial Record of What He Has Accomplished in Congress. The Third Congressional District* and Anderson county in particular, presents a candidate for the United States Senate in the person of Congressman A. C. Latimer who has flfnono fr\v f-ho nlflr?.A ftq fthnwn OpCV/lOl UIIUQOO vuu by bis past record. And what is that record? A poor boy left by the fortunes of war without the means of securing an education beyond that afforded by the old field school, he started life with the only legacy left him?that of the plow handles. He has tried the field and the furrow in all its varying phases, and is and has been a successful farmer, ard more thoroughly understands the needs, and is in more thorough sympathy with the agricultural population than any other man in the tHd. And this not in antagonism to the other varied interests^of the State, but as ljing at the basis of ail true prosperity, realizing that these interests are corollaries growing out of the agricultural interests of the State, and that as agriculture is prosperous the others will necessrialy share in it, and that no country and no other interests can prosper when agriculture is depressed. Mr. Latimer has brought to the public service the same zeal and energy, the same honesty and square dealing, the same practical business sense that has guided him thn ugh life in his private business, and that he has made a success of it. Look at the record of his ten years in congress in results brought to people of the Third district. It is not exaggeration to say that he has secured more in ten years than all the other congressman who have represented the district since the war, and this is not said to disparage them but as a simple statement of truth. He went into congress a new and untried man, fresh from the fields, sent there by the farmers, inexperienced in legielation and not skilled in the graces of oratory, and it was not long until this # __ I . i* 1_ 3 i 1 iarmer representative naa sometnmg tangible to show. The railroads in the State in the hands of receivers in the Federal courts bad for years failed to pay their taxes due the State, and he at once set in motion the necessary legal machinery to make them pay their taxes just as the farmers have to do. He came to the relief of the State, and it is within the knowledge of all how the sheriffs of some of the counties were imprisoned for attempting to collect these back taxes But he was at length successful and the railroads were made to pay $208, 000 into the State treasury. Soon after his entrance into congress he took up the matter of securing the claim of Newberry college for $15,000 for injury to their building by the occupancy of the Federal troopsThis bill had been pending for years, and its friends had almost despaired of ever getting it passed, but Latimer succeeded where otherB had failed, and the college got the money. He has been instrumental in increasing the number of seed packages from 3,000 to 15,000 in each district, and thousands of farmers today testify that the seeds are the best they ever had; and thousands upon thousands of farm bulletins are distributed giving the results of the work of the department of agriculture. But passing over some other matters the greatest good that he has Becured to the people of his district is the establishment of the rural free delivery of the mails to the homes of the people. He has never claimed to be the originator of the system, but only to be one of the first men to perceive the great benefit there is in it and to give it a practical application, and today there are 90 routes in operation in his district at a salary of $600 per carrier, bringing $54,000 annually into the district and conferring vastly improved mail facilities upon the people. He has introduced a bill, which is now pending, providing, for 1,500,000 acres of the public domain to be set apart for the public schools of South Carolina. He has now a corps of surveyors in the State instructed by the agricultural department to make a soil survey of 1000 square miles of territory to ascertain the constituent elements of the soil with reference to its adaptability to the production of, WZ^MMO?1??B?n? crops. He has also introduced an amendment to the agricultural bill appropriating $150,000 for experiments in road making. These matters are referred to to show the practical lines along which he has been working. These are but a portion of the benefits this farmer representative has secured for his people, and he comes now asking you to give him a wider field for the display of his usefulness.

The candidates for the House are a jovial, clever set of fellows and to crack jokes on each other is as natural as it is for water to seek its level. Epti ;g claims that while from the Fork his interests were on this side of the Saluda river. Shealy retorted that he had often heard tell of a man trying to ride two horses and straddle a fence, but never before had he seen a man trying to straddle Saluda river. Wingard twitted Towill with being non progressive because he was still living in a state of single blessedness. Towill replied by saying that the good Lord knew that he was doing his level best to get out of the gulf of despondency and that it was not his fault that he had been joined to a pretty piece of calico but when he would be he would not go to Virginia for it. In tones of thunder Shealy exclaims: If you want a good looking man to represent you, send Efird; but if you want an ugly one?one that can and will do you some good, then send me. Wilson is the dryest one in the nartv because he i3 the onlv one I ^ ? ^ standing on the prohibition platform. If there is any virtue in the saying that "the longest pole knocks down the persimmon" Major Counts is certain to get there. After the primary some of the candidates, no doubt, will be found in the predicament of the Fox and the old Farm Bell. The farmer had been missing his chickens in a coop under the bell, and he determined to catch up with the midnight marauder, so be set a steel trap and tied it to the rope which rang the bell. During the night the fox came as it was expected he would do, and was caught in the trap. He made desperate efforts to free himself and everytime he struggled the bell would ring?the more he struggled the more the bell would ring. Finally he gave up and on viewing his surroundings he spied the bell,and exclaimed: "What are you anyhow! iou have a darned big mouth, a long tongue, make a h?11 of 'fuss' and nothing done." So it will bo with some of our candidates. They will stand on the various platforms at the campaign meetings, make a h?11 of a fuss and nothing done. Not being a prophet nor the son of a prophet we will not predict who they will be. "Tigers and Gamblers." Are Taking an Active Hand in Politics In Charleston and Columbia. Strange things occur in politics theBe days. Information comes very straight from Columbia and Charleston that the gamblers and "blind tigers" have become "perniciously active in politics within the last few weeks. JuBt what is influencing tnem nas not luiiy come to iignt. it is certain, however, that they are taking no interest in anything but the gubernatorial race and that they are using all their efforts to defeat "Farmer" Hey ward. They are backing a man of their choirs. On the other hand, it is said, all the people employed in the big State Dispensary are for Heyward.?Exchange. Buy your echool supplies at the Bazaar.
