Wednesday, September 24,1902. ? ? Just now the prevailing opinion seems to be among many politicians that factionalism is dead in this State. Thev base their conclusion on " apparently logical grounds. On the surface it really seems that the election of Mr. Hevward was the * expiring wail of factionalism, but to thoughtful students of passing events for a year or so ago, there is deeper significance, and grander meaning in the success of Mr. Heyward. There has always been, (with one exception) and there always will be factionalism in South Carolina. That exception was in the campaign of 1876 when Hampton was the standard bearer of a united Democracy. This being a fact so plain that it is beyond the shadow of a doubt, then we must look deeper for the cause of the political upheaval on the 9th of September. That cause, we submit, is due solely and entirely to the support given Mr. Heyward by the Pro gresfiive Democrats. A careful study of the returns will demonstrate the accuracy of this position to the mind of every honest searcher sffcer truth. All along we advised the people to watch the silent vote, and that vote was the influence of Progressive Democracy. Its rumbling warning was heard in the first primary and in a clap of tremendous thunder in shook the State from the mountains to the seaboard in the second primary. . Now that the smoke of battle 1 has cleared away and we can see things as they really exist with an u nob scared vision, we submit that the grandest and most important lesson taught by the result is, that the Progressive Democrats hold the balance of power id the political affairs of this State, and wise indeed is the politician who gives heed to this lesson. Democratic electors of the Seventh n t tv- i _L j.j Vsongressionai JLUStrict are remmaeu that Congressman Lever will have opposition for re-election in tbe general election, and it is tbe duty of every person who participated in the recent primary election to support Mr. Lever in the general election. They owe it to their sacred oath to do so and there is no way of getting out of it honorably. This obligation of the voter to the nominee of the party would not at this time be emphasized were it not for the ' fact that it is known that Ed Thomp son, a negro Republican, has positively announced bis candidacy for Congress from this District, and it is, therefore, important that Mr. Lever should be given tbe full Democratic strength of the District. Of course there is no possible chance for 'lTU/vrv**\ftAn f A Ko olf xuuuipsuu IV W DttVLVU vcva u oo there are cot enough Republican votes in the District to do so, but the * lukewarmnees of the Democrats in cot voting in the general election will give Thompson eome ground, flimsy though it may be, to contest the election and if the National House of Representatives is snyway evenly divided or Republican votes are re- j quired to secure a safe working majonty, Mr. Lever's seat, or for that | matter, the contested seat of any j other Southern Democrat is in j danger, as the Republican conscience is blunt and they always act upon th? thporv that "miffht makes rieht." I T""'" w""J * " o o i For these reasons we would urge ! every Democratic elector in the Die- i trict to turn out on Tuesday, November 4th, and vote for Lever for Congress. ????? Deas is the thorn in Capers' side. 1^?I?? ? Flattering Outlook. All the indications point to a very successful county fair this year. The Secretary, Mr. J. A. Muller, has been greatly encouraged over the flattering outlook, and he, together with the other officers of the Association, are leaving nothing undone to secure one of the best exhibits in all of the departments of domestic and industrial life ever gathered for this purpose. The attendance also promises to be unusually large and the attractions will be on a larger and grander scale than heretofore. Our people should join their efforts with those of management of the fair to make it surpass anything yet held. If each and every citizen will but do what the requirements demand of *hem we will have such a fair that will astonish the natives. Let us get to work. Hon. Banks L. Caughman is justly proud of the very flattering vote be received throughout the Stato in the recent primary for Railroad Commissioner, and more especially the very large vote given him by the pe'ople of Lexington, his native county. Mr. mr>-n Vi o o Tr>r?r? T-snQiHnn VCIUgbiiJau u?o "Viu ^v/W?V*VM through his own merit/ fitness and competency, and we are confident that he will discharge his duties with entire satisfaction to all parties concerned. His well known excellent business judgment and his strict integrity pre eminently qualifies him to faithfully perform the duties of the office to which he haB been elected and he carries with him to bis new field of labor and usefulness the best and most cordial wishes of the Dispatch for his future success. A Card. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Please give space in your esteemed columns for me to thank my friends who saw fit to nominate me in the primary election for one of the most important offices in their gift. Of course there are offices considered more honorable, but in my fhcro io nr?rto nf mnro JUUgUiVUV IIAIV4V ?W MVMV V* M?V?V | importance to the tax pajer and public generally than County Commissioner. We also extend our thanks to the people who we fell in with to share the hospitality of their homes while on the campaign rounds. My announcement was so late and business, too, prevented my canvass ing the county as I wished to do, but by assistance of some good friends, I pulled through. I also extend my sympathy to the man who tried to injure me by telling his friends that I was rich enough to live without the office and lit some poor man have it, and I promise if he don't get before the county board as a lunatic until I get the office I will try to have him assigned to the asylum in as comfortable quarters as possible. I have ever lived without asking for an office before now. I promise the whole people if I !i 1 - 3 i- 1_ 1.1 fll 1L - 1 am permi&ieu to reauu me urnct; mat I will spare no time or pains to'repay them for the confidence they have in me in trusting me with so important a position.
