To the Democrat? ot South Caro Una: As a business man who baa found that the application ot busi ness methods to all problema, gov ernmental as well as others, has ac complished the best results, I have offered myself as a candidate for the United States Senate, believing that I can be of some service to the peo ple of my State, to the South and to the great Democratic party. To gether with the other candidates for this office, in accordance with the rules of the party, I have canvassed the State and expressed my views candidly and honestly on the issues of the day. I have made the race on my HUM it.,, as a business man and as a Democrat, and I have not sought, and do not seek, to win this high position by pointing out any demer its which my competitors may pos sess. In seeking the suffrages, of my fel low-Democrats I can pledge them the best efforts of which I am capable, in maintaining the fundamental prin. ciples of the Democratic party, to which I have always subscribed. I stand for a more liberal currency sys tem, that will enable the communi ties of the South to become independ ent of the Wall street combinations; I stand for a just revision of the tar iff laws, and Immediate revision of duties to the lowest point consistent with the needs of the government, economically administered; I stand for railroad regulation upon a just basis; for an lnteligent system of drainage with Federal aid, and I shall, If elected, oppose the centrali zation tenedncles which are now a menace to our free Institutions. It is my ambition to represent the people of my native State In the Sen ate, and in soliciting their support I can assure them that If elected I will endeavor, first and all the time, to serve South Carolina's Interests with mv whole heart and energy.

Styles Barron, a candidate for County Treasurer, through Boon Moss, prompted by W. J. (Pete) Schroder, has offered him* self for the Treasurer's office for the purpose of defeating Joe E. Hopkins and electing W. J. Schroder, now we, as two of Mr. Barron's friends who ask rd him to offer for office, have this to say in Mr. Barron's behalf as well as Mr. Moss's, that there has been no such combination. We first asked W. Styles Barron to offer for the Clerk's office. This he declined; then we asked him to offer for the Treasurer's office, which he agreed to do.

Besides, we asked Mr. Barron to offer for office because we knew that he was one of tre most worthy young . ten In the county and well qualified. ,.'o did this, prompted by no other reason or motive, and In the Interest of no one except Mr. Barron.
