LONG WITHDRAWS. Oversight in Matter of Filing State ment With Federal Officials. Editor Keowee Courier: Several have asked the quostlon as to why I withdrew from the race for Congress, and somo have given their Ideas as to my reason in the matter. The (acts are as follows: Congress Jias recently passed a law requiring all candidates for Congress to lile with the Clerk of the Houso of Rep resentatives at Washington, fit teen' days before a primary election, an itemized statement of all money used in making a campaign, known as tho law as to publicity of cam paign funds. I did not know that such a law existed, as it ls a recent one. and therefore did not file thc required statement of expense ac count. I did not know until last Fri day that there was such a law, when I noticed in the papers that I. alontf with several others in this Stato.who were candidates for the United States Senate and Congress, had fail ed to file said expense account, and I at once considered myself out of tho race. This, 1 think, was the only sensible thing to do, .and I so notified the county chairman in each county in the Third Congressional District. I had filed my expense account and bad done everything necessary so far as our State laws are con cerned, but got caught on tho Fede ral laws. I do not feel at all bad over it, as other and smarter men than I am got caught along with me -In fact, every one in the State, ex cept the incumbents and one ex Congressman running for the Senate.
