It is said that the Bepublicans in
Congress are -doiog considerable
a _ l
rabid taiEing about aisirBncumtrweufe
of suffrage. in the South and the
- alleged fact that the South has more
than her share of representation in
Congress, and it really looks as if a
few unfortunate Congressmen may
lose their seats that the Bepublicans
may show that they disapprove of
the * Democratic election laws and
methods in the South. And the
great/trouble with us is that Hon. A.
F. Lever may be the first victim,
whose seat is contested by the negro
Dantzler. The elections committee
of the House which has ordered the
case to be brought to a hearing is
^composed of Bepublicans who are
somewhat bitter in their views of the
disqualification of the negro, and
they may vent their feeling by reporting
in favor of declaring.the seat vacant.
It is not considered probable
^ that any testimony C9n be produced
by the contestant to show that there
was fraud in the election. Dantzler
has little chance of securing the seat,
but the Bepublican program is to
make an example of Lever or some
other Southern man whose seat is
I
being contested, and at the same
time fnrnish themselves with an op
portunity for campaign talk.
Representative Crumpacker of In
diana, who has for years fought to secure
a redaction of the representation
of th? South because of constitutional
disfranchisement, admits that the
South Carolina law is valid. He says,
"T do not believe that either the law
.
^of Steuth Carolina or Mississippi is
unconstitutional, but I do believe
that their administration is faulty.
In fact, there is no doubt that in
the administration of the laws the
ignorant white man is permitted to
vote while the negro is not given the
same right. Therefore the whole
thing is bad and Congress Bhould
take action of tome kind."
To one who has lived in Hon. A.
T. Lever's district since his election
to Congress, the idea of unseating
him seems preposterous. There is
new, and has been for years, no necessity
for fraud in this district in
order to defeat the Republican nominee.
It is a well known fact in these
parts that the "darkie" who makes
the race every year on the Republican
ticket does bo simply for the
money allowed to contestants by the
United States government. Why
any set of men, whether Republican
?? nomrmrftL could desire to resort
to Buch eontemptable methods* for
party preferment we cannot see. If
Dantzler the "darkie" who is contesting
Congressman Lever's seat had it,
be would be nothing more nor less
than the laughing stock of both sides
of the House and a disgrace to South
Carolina and to bis own party.
All we desire in the Sonth is
honest and fair dealing. Let the
North leave us alone to settle our
own affairs; let them stop trying to
tbnrst negro supremacy upon us and
the better it will be for both sections
of our great country. The more
they try to force us to 6uch a position
by questionable methods the more
determined we will become in our
efforts to resist.
We earnestly trust that our ap
prehension about Hod. A. F. Lever's
seat is not well founded, and that he
will continue to render bis able services
to this district and to South
Carolina. The danger of Mr. Lever's
losing his place is grave enough
however, to require the presence of
his attorneys, Hon. C. M. Efird of |
this place, and Capt. A. H. Moss of !
OraDgeburg, who are at Washington |
now and they will be assisted at the |
contest by able Washington council
On account of an alledged error in
the report by the Stenographer, of
Judge Klugh's charge in the celebrated
McDaniel case, which went
?? fn fHo Snnpfiinfl Court from this
? -r
county, it will not be heard on its
merits until after January the first.
Senator Latimer is devoting much
I of his time these days to the good (
roads movement with whioh he has ^
been so prominently identified. j
He will introduce bis good roads j
bill providing for federal cooperation j
with the States at an early date. ,
On last Thursday night Miss Lil|
lian Stroud, of Florence, S. C., retired
I in the best of health and the next '
morning was found dead in bed.
Her relatives are of the opinion
that she was taken with an epileptic 1
seizure and was smothered to death.
Her face was found buried in the
pillow.
