Maa Who Has Been a Friend to the Poor Boy a Candidate for Congress. His Ch?tra* For Election Are Flattering. Citizenship carries with it grave re sponsibilities, c ? which the right of , suffrage 's doubtless the most i m por- j ' tant. ? It is tho plain duty of every tuan I to vote intelligently, ar.cl " to do this he | , must kuow the men askiug office ami among whom he is to choose, of the 1 seven men who ar?? set'king tile honor of 1 representing tho people of this Congres- 1 ?ional District, there is ono whom his < friends deem it! a .privilege to support. | Those who know Wyatt Aiken host be lieve that no other candidate for this office possesses in a higher degree or lu a hotter proportion tho elements of 1 manhood which go to make a true rep- 1 resentative of tho people, lie has heart 1 as well as intellect, and no mau is of tho true type who has not both sentiment , and sense. Hoing a son of a mau who fought in peace and war with his every energy for the rights for which the dem ocratio pwty stands. Wyatt Aiken has always been a close student of the poli tical principles of his father-the princi ples of genuine democracy. His discus sions of the questions of tlieday indicate a mind naturally well balauced and trained to view political situations from the right standpoint. ' The writer has no ver known a mau of bigger heart or nobler impulses. Truly this man is gen erous to a fault. Do good deeds proceed from rv good man? Then there are few better than Wyatt Aiken. Some years ago, through his contribu tion and influence, an unfortunate mau of this town was sent to an'infirmary and his life prolonged thereby, and 'tis a fact that this man never know whom' to thank. In the family of a working man of Cokesbury there was a bright boy who could not attend sciiool be cause hi>: father was unable to pay the tuition. When the facts of the cane were brought to Wyatt Aiken's atten tion, he sent the boy to school, paying the tuition himself. That he had a sel fish motive in any one of these cases, no man who knows the circumstances, would even suggest. Within the last few moments the writer has had in mind more than a half a dozen boys of the same village, for whom, and In some in stances without the knowledge of whom, Wyatt Aiken has procured positions. AU of his life he has been seeking oppor tunities to help tliefe of his fellow-men not as fortunate aa he. "A friend in need is a friend indeed." is a familiar quotation. The subject of this sketch has proved himself to be such a friend time and again. The roan who is true to his friends must be true to himself, and being true to himself, it follows that he cannot be untrue to any man or to any political or other party. In civil life his favors have always been be stowed where they were most needed upon the poorer people; and during his short military life he showed himself the friend of the non-commissioned offi cer and the private soldier. No man has known the friendship of Wyatt Aiken but. to stamp it "pure gold." If he be a poor man today, it is because he has ever been a liberal supporter of all Christian works, and has generously an swered every call upon him as a citizen. It is sometimes claimed that a farmer can best represent the farming people. If this be true-and it is questionable Wyatt Aiken bas the qualification, xor while he lived at Cokesbury he was a prac 6fei il farmer. Ol the loren candidates offering for a seat lu Congress, the voters of this Dis trict should choose the man who has the mental scope to thoroughly understand the problems of government that may arise, the steadfastness of purpose ana the soundness of judgment t guarantee a service higl.ly acceptable to his con stituents and to the best interest nf de mocracy. Those who know Wyatt Aiken best believe he will serve well his constituents and the democratic party at large. Is there another man of the seven who has-heart and intellect in bet ter proportion? It is the duty of every citizen to vote for the best man. Wyatt Aiken stands out as a man whom the office might well seek, and his claims must be considered by every one who wants true mea in office. His good deeds in this community commend him to its voters, for in the past he has been the friend of the so-called common man, and tbis man knows but one way to judge the future, I. e. by the past. If there be any praise in the above, it is but just. Citizen. Cokesburv. S. C., Aug. 20, 1002, W. Boyd Evans to thc People. I desire to express my thanks to my fellow Democrats in South Carolina for'their'expression of confidence in mc as a candidate for Railroad Com missioner in the primary, leading my opponent for thc second race by near ly two thousand votes, asking for their suffrages in the second primary. All of my opponents and myself dis cussed the question in reference to the Railroad Commissioner's office and the welfare of the people in every County, and separated as friends. My opponent is from the same ter ritory as the two incumbents. When Mr. Wilborn retires, the great eas tern, north-eastern and south-eastern seotions of the State, comprising the largest part of thc State, with the largest railroad mileage, will be abso lutely unrepresented on the Board. Living in the Contrai part of the State, and being a native of Marion, by which County I was -endorsed for the position, I submit that I am in a position, if elected, to see that all sections of our progressive State are properly represented. If I am honored with your suffrages von may vest assured that I will per form the duties of the office of Rail road Commissioner wrf? the fidelity that I have served my people in the past. W. Boyd Evans. t t i i t 1 1 Dr. Smith for Congress. Mr. Editor: The race for congress iu rj he third district is reduced from sev m to two candidates-Aiken and Smith. No sectiou of this State has uade or will likely make moro iinpor- ] ant demands upon a congressman *? :han this, the progressive third dis- 1 :rict. lt is exceedingly important j * .hat tho great agricultural aud indus trial interests of Anderson and the , )ther counties directly interested are i represented in the national legislature 67 the strongest man that can bc se- t lectcd-a man of breadth and depth - who will be watchful, active and true " Lo his constituents. At no period in this County's his- * tory was ever so much nt stake as now j and the time has come wheu every vo- , ter should weigh the merits of thc two candidates for congress in this dis trict. The genial, companionable characteristics of either should not bc i regarded apart from ability and goner- i al fitness. It should not be a matter of friendship or personal regard for families or individuals, living or dead, but ono of patriotic duty for the up building and oontinued prosperity of the whole country, and especially this section directly interested. I have known R. F. Smith, of Pick ens, one of tho candidates before us. for twenty years. He isa substantial citizen, of great force} of character and is intellectually strong. If he does not measure up to the require ments of a representative from this district at Washington then we who know him so well will be greatly dis appointed. Ile was born and reared in Anderson County, near the line di viding it from Pickens, Some years ago he transferred his residence to Pickens County, but ha3 during his whola life been largely interested in and identified with Anderson County. Ho has sought few political honors, giving all bis earlier years to his pri vate or professional work, in which he has been remarkably successful. No political preferment has ever been de nied him by his own county. * In the ?rimary of last Tuesday he carried Rekens by an overwhelming vote-by a much greater majority than was ever given to any other home candidate in the district. In the upper portion of Anderson, where he is well known, his strength developed about as dis tinctly as in Pickens. The time is short between now and the final primary on the 9th of Sep tember, but it is not too late to do our duty and inquire as to Frank Smith's fitness and general qualifications for the high place he seeks. There is another view to take of this race. The voter, having settled for himself the question of comparative ability and fitness as between Smith and Aiken, and even if some will ad mit equality on this line, is it not plain that Pickens, in all fairness, should have the Pickens man. An derson has had the congressman for ten years. Abbeville had D. Wyatt Aiken and Cothran until both died, Newberry has been represented, Coo nee is out of it, and Piokens has never had a congressman in her life. Piok ens has indicated beyond doubt that Frank Smith is her man. No other oounty in the State has been so pro nounced in favor of its man. Pickens, with a total of 2,409, gave Smith 1, 660. Abbeville, out of her total vote of 2,271, gave 690 votes to Aiken. The voting strength of Abbeville and Piok ens is about the same and so their re spective claims for importance as po litical factors io the district are about on a parity. Therefore, in all justness and fairness, Anderson. Newberry, Ooonee and even Abbeville can well alford to oonoede to Pickens, our sis ter county, the right to name the con gressman in this second race since it has been demonstrated by a previous test that Pickeos has put up a strong and acceptable man ia the person of Frank Smith. Anderson. A Sad Suicide in Spartanburg. Spartanburg, S. C., Sept. 1.-Ebor Brewton, about 00 years old, auditor of the county, committed suicide early yesterday morning. He lind been in bad health for several years and re cently he was confined to his room a hopeless invalid. He was prepariug to shave yesterday when lie arose and his wife went to the kitchen for some warm water. On ber return she found the door bolted, andgettingnorepou.se to her call for him she entered the room through a window. She found him bleeding from several wounds in dicted by a knife and razor. He lived only a short time. Ho served through tlie war between the States, was audi tor of the county several terms and was au excellent citizen. Ile will bo buried this afternoon. Lynched for the Usual Crime. Monticello, O?., Aug. ai.-John Brown, a negro, who attempted to crim inally assaalt Miss Johnnie Choftin, a 12 year old white girl, near Montecello yesterday, was lynched early this morning by a small posse of men 'jeven miles north of this place. Brown was captured six hours after his crime and given a preliminary hear ing before a district justico of the peace who ordered him sent here for safe keeping.

The Murphy branch of the Southern is to bo extended. This line is out from Asheville and is 123 miles long. According to present plant tho road will bo carried on from Bushnell down tho little Tennessee rive- to J.iaryville, about 00 miles. It is .tuthoratively stated by the management of this road that their ultimate intention is, when this Murphy extension is finished, to push a line through Rabnn Gap into Eastern Georgia and Western South Carolina, making a short connection with tho Southern's other lines in these States from the coal lields. Two corps of engineers aro already engaged at work on this extension. A short cut of this kind into tho coal fields would save Southern railway thousands ol dollars monthly in haulage, employees, etc. A project of this kind ha? long been in contemplation by olhcials of tin; road and its building maybe looked forward to with certainty.-Asheville Citizen.
