CANDIDATE IF PEOPLE BEQUEST IT ^ JWcLaurin Will be Candidate for Governor? *>"ee<l of a Moral Awakening in Business World.'Hartsville, Nov. IS.?According to a letter received by Evangelist B. F. McLendon, of this place, Senator John L. McLaurin, of Bennettsville, will be a candidate for governor if the people wish it. The following was sent to The Record today: Enclosed please find letter to me from Senator John L. McLaurin, which 1 think will be of public interest, just at this time and for tCiat reason request that you publish same. From my knowledge of Mr. McLaurin's character, and in view of our intimate relations. 1 am perfectly satisfied that he will not object to my action in thus making his letter public. It is very gratifying to me to receive this letter. For many men with whom I come in contact express the desire that ne maKe me iiwl year. .ucu of his type and ability are needed in public affairs and I am certain that he will measure up to the 'high conception his friends have of him if elected. The most striking thing in this letter of Mr. McLaurin's is his reference to the need of a " moral awakening in the political world," and the appeal io the mind and consciences of men. Respectfully, B. F. MVLendon. Senator McLaurin's letter follows: My Dear Baxter: Both of your letters received. I briefly acknowledge 1 ?J wll ronlv mnro numoer uiie, <txtu mu uut at length to number two. I know that you were surprised at the statement I made about retiring from politics, but \ you must remember that I had not said I would be a candidate for office, only that I was willing to respond to a call from tine people. I believe that I could be of some service to this State in connection with a State warek - it- - ( louse system, reiunciing tne auiu; debt, preventing a threatened split in j our white people. These are the mo\ tives that impelled me to make so many speeches, and to attend a conference, not for the purpose of selecting a governor, but to control the next democratic State convention, and prevent the constitutional restriction designed to subjutate the negro in the general election, being used in the primary to disfranchise white men and pjlace them on the same political basis as the negro. Your life work calls you into close contact with out factory and agricultural population. It is a grand work, and I am sure you will agree with me that all classes of society need a higher conception of the rights and duties of citizenship. Your influence.and example sways the course and influences the minds of thousands of people in this State. I state to you the deliberate opinion that factionalism cannot be safely pushed to greater extremes.

Is it not wise to stop a moment and see what it is all about? Is not returning good for evil a good I j rule in politics? I think so. The majesty and power of it is great everywhere.

My dear Baxter, ; you teash men that they are brothers | in the church, 1 am trying to teach (them they are brothers in the Sta'e, j and I am just as willing to serve the ! people in my way as you are in yours, I You are right in saying thai: no good ! citizen can refuse to serve the State ! in any capacity. I only refuse to play I the role of office seeker. I did noi i know, or am I prepared to yet be' lieve, that there is such a demand for I i my services as you seem to think. If ; < I did I would not hesitate one mo' ment as to my course. I have received many letters like yours, but one can easily be mistaken about those things. With sincere regards. As ever your friend, JNO. L. M'LAURIX. A Double Wedding. Batesburg, Nov. 15.?Wednesday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock the home of Mrs. W. T.
