N.ewberry yesterday, and addrosed ibout one hidred farmers and busi ness men in the court house. Thee i would no doubt have been a much lai-ger attendanco but for the very severe weather. The speakers were introduced, by President R. Xr. C. Hunter, of the counity association. skr. Hyatt spoke fi5st. Concert of iction was what was needed by far mIers, lie said. He talked f good roads, saying that the! farmers were mnying a mutid tax which amounted to give times their state and county tax 's. Richland eounty had built some' 100 or 500 miles of good road.s in the ast twelve years, of sand and clay. A -ouity that had sand and clay, lie ;ai(l, had no excuse for bad roads. yar. Hyitt strongly urged diversified rarming. lie uniderstood, he said, hat Newherry Amity was anl excep. ion along tOhis line-tfhat mahy New >erry farmers raised their supplies it home. No man, he said, could sue ,ee(l raising only cotton. As to over )roduction, too much cotton could not )e made in the south, because the touth could not make enough to meet fhat ought to be the world's demand. Ie touched on the subject of immi ,ration, saying ithat immigrants were ll right if they were of the right cind, but that the south ought to be areful. He wanted to see the country t komes beautified, the lands improved, I Id the boys induced to stay on the I 'ain. 'le wanted the farmers to )rovide conveniences for their wives nd daughters. In a word, lie urged he farmers to think more. Education nd concert of action was the theme >f his very excellent address. Presiden;t Smith is an eloquent peaker.

' Since then, ,as I find, after considering the question more thoroughly, thit such a decision was not satisfactory to me, as it' itli might result in doing myself and my *t churches and the people of the coun of ty a great injustice. Yousee I am the lit pastor of two churches, and am ex ,l- Ipeeted to preach every Sunday and , attend funerals, etc. I live thirteen us miles from the county seat. I have a .n little farm that is profitable to me and I' have employed laborers to cul tivate the same. I have no one to t0- leave with my family for their pro he teetion and no one to superintend the S- farm, and tvith no prpspect whatever or of getting any one to take my place to in either cappeity. I am seventy-one years of age, and like most people of a my age, I am frequently not well. It a will be expected of me, if elected, to he be in the pfice eery day and I ought to be at home nearly every night, and C1 furthermore it will be expected of me n to preach every Sunday and to at tend to other duties connected with be my church work. Under such circum s'tan1ces, how could I h6pe to be able i to do all that will be expected of me? Will not, the strain be too great for my strength, the load too heavy 'or me to carry? Looking at the matter or as above 'stated, when I think my mind is about made up to make the race, I find that instead of being sat isfied, that my mind becomes more les and more perplexed. No question of a the kind has ever given me so much 6f concern as this one. I would like to ed have the position, for I realize that it ould greatly assist me in educating my children, and also give aid in lift he ing financial burdens from my miiind. or I call find no satisfiactory way by os which, I would be able to discharge the duties connected with the posi C tion, and at the same time, other du lp ties just as bindinig on me. If the t- mnatter, whelh I know is impossible, ccould be postponed for nine monIths, ~te wh.en I could, if I so desired it, be dlivilg, near to the county seat, I sup at pos I would most gladly accept the ve ~ poi ion ithl many thank-s go those conferring its upon01 me. Loing at the matter from every point of viewv, it seems that a wise and foreseeing providence has closed up thle wvay to tJie position against me, and "I most .eheerfully accept the same, and hero sjby announce to myv frientls and all oter coilcrned. thlat I will *not he'a candidate for the pdsition. I am pro-. Youndly thankful to thle members of both of mhy chur ches and' to all. other friends, for 't'heirwrnndhat assurances oftheir support. No man Sappreci'ates m~ore highly such tokens ne of,kindness and friendship than I, ofand I knowv thlat all such frie'nds will ki givTe me credit for sincerity and hon tr: -esty of purpose ini making' this de -cition, aind will justify me i reach :inlg suchl a concluson.' Maybe in the pjrovidence of , a wise and good God, th9se friends wvill some day have an Eor opportunity of making life easier to ar me in my old age. Since deciding this et. matter definitely,\my mind Is at rest, ny the .burden is gone." roe his leaves the field open. As it is 't . tere Is no 'eandidate from this ng setion of the county.
