CARD FROM MR. McCALLA.
He Replies to Attack by a Columbia
Newspaper.
To the people of the Third Congres
sional District:
An ed:torial appeared last Saturday
in the columns of the State that re
quires an answer at my hands. In
that article. which is full of venom
anld malice. as well as ignorance. I
am charged xvith being a demagogue
f t1he worst type.
The writer Of the editorial kcast; of
his familiarity wvith my record and
priofesses to speak from that recori.
lie professes to remember my advent
into the legislature a dozen or more
years ago. and says that in our -Tousc
*f Lords. referring. I suppose. to the'
Eat oI occupied the seat of the
EarTofEssex. and filled it to the life.
I is strange that the editor of the
State can recall my -erviceS in the
lower house so wcll when I hav
never had the honor (f being a mem
her of that hody. In 1804 I had th'e
hoinir of being .elected in the state
senate from Abbeville ciunty and I
served1 four years in that body. That
is all the legislative services that I
hav-e rendered. I also had the honor
of being a -member of the Constitu
ticinal convention of 1895
IIf. (vhiIe a member of the senate.
h)eing in the sideC of the people of the
state against the encrcachmnents oif
the government, was tilling the seat
of Lorrd Essex, then I plead guilty to
the charge. We are told in English
histo ry that Lord Essex was one of
the leaders against King Charles
when the latter souctght tio cc llect
taxes with'out -any warrant or author
ixv of the law, and actually dismissed
Chie f Instice Crane becat:se he re
fuseLd to decide that the mandates ocf
the king~ was the law if the land. Yes.
I Ihave been on the .-ida ofi thle pen
pie. and have just learned( that it is
ai 'r-ev 'US c ' fence.
T1 those who kni w me. and who
reaIlly kncicw wllat Tn'. r-ic .
wiig -. a e th i-. betw\een
te .L ai n: myself. Ic 't thetre are
those uxno dcc not know me.~ and~ ble
utterly uncalled for attack in the
State may mis!ead some of those. and(
in order to keep the record straight
I wvrite this article
WVhile a m-::i1r of the senate I
put through a LiU to require insur
anice cocmpanies to pay the fuill
amount for which they insured prop
erand thus saved to the people
of this state thouisands of dollars. I
was always in favor of liberal ap
propriations for educational purposes,S
and voted that way while a member
of the senate. I am not ashamed of
m y cotirse xwhile in' the senate, and am
willing to be judged by my record
there and elsexvhere. Btit I want
the record to speak. and not a newvs
paper that for some reason has seen
nt to tak~e up the ctudgels for my op
pntent.
-If thce xvriter of that article is a
dens!y ignorant of my record in the
senate as he shows himself to be of
the positions I haxe held then I leave
it to the people to say who has dis
played the most 'ignorance" as well
as venom and malice.
