FIGHT IN THIRD SOMEWHAT WARM THREE CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR CONGRESS THERE. Mann and Boggs May Show Aiken Enough to Make Him Do Some Hustling. (Zach McGhee in The State). In the Third Congressional district of South Carolina, comprising the counties of Newberry, Greenwood, Abbeville, Anderson, Pickens, and Oconee there are three candidates for the position now held by Wyatt Aiken; that is. two besides the in cumbent. Julius E. Boggs, of Pick ens is going to try his hand again and the Hon. Rev. Coke D. Mann, of Walhalla, is already running to beat the band. The Hon. Aiken is again in the race to the bitter end; and I'm here to tell you 1at if things 'his year are as usual, the word "bit er" is not merely a stock phrase ithout meaning, but one which, as enator Smith says, is apropos-with. the accent on the "poss." The Hon. Ika McCalla, of Abbeville, used to be somewhat of a figurer in the congres-. sional race up in the Third, and when; he and Aiken got or thre stump to-. gether on the banks of the Savannah and opened up the phials of wrath, I tell you, there were some "phumes" therefrom. But the Hon. Ike disap peared'from the scene one day, and in the last two campaigns Boggs and Aiken opened up the phials all alone. I was up in that district at several places during the campaign four years ago when the aforesaid phials were opened up, and while I never was able to exactly figure out what it! was all obout. I could tell by the "over-heated" atmosphere that there. was something "agwine on." .There Are Two Now. Now we have Boggs again, and in addition to him a real sure enough live parson, a fighting parson at tha, who says that Aiken is no fit ma-n to be congressman and that he proposes to show the people a thing or two, about real statesmanship. Some body sent Aiken a message not long o that he had better hurry and e up into the Savannah settle: ts-don't forget the accent al s belongs on the "ments"-for the Mr. Mann was a-preaching away1 eto beat the Jews. en sent word back that he d to be there after a little, and he might not be much on~ ching he thought ,he would be t smart on a prayer. Now it would be hard to pick out section of South Carolina where ere is a higher ave.rage .of intelli gence, cultutre, and especially ma terial progress than the counties of the Third district. It has .been that way from time immemorial. That's where I come from myself, you know, and that raises the average quite consi'derable. I talked with some of~ the &olks along the road of the old C. . . the other day, and it seems to you can go along that road any, y of the year and find about 'half of the people of the district either on' the train or at the'N.tion. That is where Wyatt Aik - acquainted with most of them, Lhe seems to know every mother's son and daugh ter of them all by their , Christian namnes. Most of the men seem to have~ played marbles or "gone in er-wash-, in' " with him. Matter of Titles. And that is why Wyatt is in con-; gress, and that is why he is likely to stay there for the next term in spite of Boggs and Mann. Boggs, you see,, is always "Mr. Boggs," and Mann is the "Rev. Mann," while Aiken is "Wyatt." That makes a world of dif ference, little as you may think. It makes more difference than all the tariff bills, all the railroad bills, all the appropriations for public build ings, even, that were ever introduced' in congress. Now Aiken is not any popular he ro as a statesman. These .people :sre not deceived about him. He is not, the sort of man to make any great pretentions, but is the same every where, being the big boy in Washing ton, when his constituents come up here as he is around his district. And the people of the Third know him clean through. They know he does not take any active part in the de bates in the. house or in the larger legislation. The point is they do not care. John C. Calhoun and McDufi once represented this district, and the people point with great pride to the fact. "When another Calhoun or Mc Duffie comes along we will send him to Washington," they say, but measn time, "Well Aiken is good enough. We know what he is anyway, and the~re is no humbug about him, and we like him. He's our friend, and whenever there is anything he cani do for us we know he is going to do 5t. We don't care anything about these tariff bills, railroad regulations, ini Ltterstte commerce things and so forth~ anyway. whatMB the good of our bothering along of these things? Ai en knows about them and votes rigl and if he can't make a speech N reckon there's somebody there th kin." Fences All Right And so it goes. so far as Aiken friends are concerned, which seet to include a big portion of the di trict. Boggs and Mann are makil some friends, it is true, and they me, pile up a pretty considerable vote. never pretend to prophecy, but i by what people tell me about the si uation. I have not talked with M Aiken himself about it, but I sa some of his campaigners at work n< long since. His secretary, "Widi Bradley, who is no small potato whE it comes to campaigning, has just t: kep a trip through the district, ar he told me on the train the other d,, that the fences were all right. It was reported down there the otl er day that Mr. Boggs was very i and that on that account he migi not be in the race this year; but ti report comes up here that he is e: pected to be on hand when the can paigning begins, and that he expic to clean up the earth with Aike Brother Mann epects to do the san thing, and being a man of the counti himself, he is going to have a follo ing. Whether they do anything to Ail en or not, it is going to be a little i teresting in the Third for the presei congressman. Whether many oth4 people are going to get interested r mains to be seen. They certainly ai not much interested now, except the personality of the candidates, aL many of them would not take t1 trouble to go to the polls to vo were it not for the other elections men nearer home. So far as national questions ai concerned-well, the woods are n< afire in the Third, South Carolin; whatever they say about them in tl rest of the country. TO SELECT AFTO ROUTE. Run Will be ][ade About July Three Routes. Spartanburg, June 8.-The tutom< bile run over the three several route between Spartanburg .and Newbern to select that division of the pri posed automobile highway from ti low country to the mountains will I made about July 1, by the committ4 of three, composed of one memb4 each from the chambers of commer< of Asheville, Spartanburg and Ci lumbia. It is proposed to make a penm; nent highway from Columbia Asheville. The route from Sparta] burg to Asheville has been practica ly settled upon, and so with the roul between. Columbia and Newberry. Bi tween Newberry and Spartanbi there are three sections bidding f( the route. One road goes via Unio: the second via Cross Anchor and ti third via Woodruff. Of the thr4 routes there is not ten miles diffe: ence in length. The route via Cros Anchor is said to be several miles ti shortest. At a' meeting held at the opei house on the 24th of May attended I over five hundred representative ci izens from all sections of the propo: ed highway, it was moved and ca: ried that a committee of three be aj pointed to select the route betweE Spatanburg and Newberry. Asheville has appointed E. I Chambers as her member of ti committee. Columbia has named W. Moorman. It is understood th; Mayor J. B. Lee will be Spartanburg representative. There is much talk< the road extending from Columbia C down to Charleston, and on this er: of the line the people are especial: anxious to have the permanent' hig] way from the mountains to the se shore.
