Greenville's Candidate for Railroad - Commissioner. ; Greenville News, Sept. 5. i The clean fight which Major John H Earle, of Greenville, made for the office of Railroad Commissioner has put him in the second race with Mr. Mobley and by proper effort hie friends can easily elect him. ThiB was the first time he ever sought public office. He was a new man in politics, a fact which must have been refreshing to the voters, aDd while factionalism in South Carolina is supposed to be dead, he received strong support because he was the representative of the business element. Educated as a practical engineer, and being a lawyer of no mean ability, he will serve the people faithfully, and it is well to have a man of that type on the commission. Here in the up-country where he is 90 well Known, toe vote BDowea mat be has the confidence and esteem of the citizens, and tbat ought to be a consideration to voters in other parts of the State who have no personal choice in the contest. In bis owd county Mfjor Earle received more than 4.000 votes. What other candidate for the same office can say ss much ? Honesty in politics, based on honesty in private life and professional iifp, is a good, safe platform which means victory. Major Earle did no* endeavor to antagonize any interest He was not fighting the railroads, he made no threats about wbst be would force the railroads to do, but he simply gave the public the assurance that if elected be would be the representative of the people and tbat he would use his talents to help adjust the differences and the alleged grievances, which have been so aggravating in the past. He comes from good st-ock. He is fearless, he has the courage of his convictions, and those of us who know him can say without the least hesitation that he will do his duty. His lamented father, who died while a member of the United States Senate, did much for his State, and today Mt>pr Earle is prepared to do the same service, even if in a more limited sphere. Had it not been for the fact that a worthy son of Oconee county was in the race, the natural majority for Major Earle would have placed him at the head cf the ticket. We are glad that Mr Gignilliat received the support of his neighbors, because he deserved it, and the logical inference to be drawn is that the same strength will be transferred to the young man offered to South Carolina by Greenville county. Mr. Mobley s lead over Major Earle was too small to indicate that he will defeat our candidate on September 13. It is not a runaway race for either Earle or Mobley, but if the up country will stand to its colors a perpetual office seeker wili once more meet defeat, while the new man in the field will win. It is not due to personal friendship alone that The Greenville News calls public attention to the merits of a Greenville man, for it would be the last newspaper in the State to speak kindly of any man unless it honestly and sincerely believed that he deserved it. But we speak today in the community where Major Earle is beBt known and where our utterances will not find contradiction. He has every right to aspire to the railroad commissionership because he has the ability to discharge the duties of that office with dignity and honor. His friends in the State proved they were of that opinion, and we are sure that they will give further and more undoubted evi CLERK BOARD Of HEALTH Of Jacksonville, Fla., Endorses Pe-ru-na. 1 ^ ->v ST C. D. Taylor, Clerk of the City Board of Health of Jacksonville, Fla., has occupied that position for the last ten years. In a recent letter to the Peruna Drug Mfg. Co., he expresses his approval of their famous catarrh remedy Peruna in the following words: " The health of the poor of a large city is always a question of vital interest not only to the city officials but to every citizen. It has been a source c* much satisfaction to me to find that so large a number of working people in moderate circumstances have accepted Peruna as their family medicine. It has cured a large number of cases especially of catarrh of the head, lungs and stomach and building up the general health it cannot L ... but prove a help and blessing to any community whwe it is generally adopted and used. 1 have found it an honest reliable remedy and am pleased to endorse it."?C. D. Taylor, Clerk* Board of Health. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. i ?i a.nee oi tuou iegt.rd tor him by electing him in the second primary. Moreover, it is hardly necessary to urge the citizens of Greenville county to vote for M?jjr Etrle next time, for they will do it of their own free will and accord. Let other sections vote for him and they will make do mistake A Card of Thanks. To the Democratic Voters of Lexington county: I take pleasure in thanking the voters cf L? xiDgton county for the support they gave me in the first primary election and as I was successful in getting into the second nee I can but. reoew my pledge to faithfully discdarge my duties if elected I am a candidate in the oecuud race and live in the lower part of the county where the people really Deed a commissioner to look after their interest, being twelve miles fr. m Lexington Court House asd about twenty miles to the Orangeburg lint; men fifteen miles to the North Edieto, sixteen miles to the Congaree river, making a large territory for the man whom you elect to attend to, and as I am m that part of the county I would like for you to coosider my claim*, aDd if you think that I am the man for the position, 1 will tbaDk you for your support in the next primary election.
