In this visit, to the old homestead
e place of the massacre on Long
me, we also visited the old graverd
of more than a century and a
If ago, situated on the road from
ilhoun's mill to Abbeville and some
'o miles from the former place. The
metery had in time been expensiveenclosed
by an .iron railing fence,
it now if not much completely negated.
I don't think there has been
iyone of the family buried there in
? j. _ j
' years. I was somewhat mteresi-eu
rticularly in a certain old grave
whose life I had read when a boy,
me 70 years ago. This was the
ave of Dr. William Tennent, who
arried Catherine Calhoun daughr
of Patrick second, and sister of
iward and Ludlow Calhoun. His
lifp historv was remarkable and
?* ^
aking as it did such a lasting imession
upon me, I desire to relate.
Dr. Tennent was at the time a
>ung student of divinity. He also
id a bosom friend who .was a young
ctor of medicine who attended him
his illness. After a protracted
ell he, to all appearance died in a
ance and for three days was in that
ntiition. On three special occasns
the church bell tolled and neigh>rs
assembled for the funeral serves,
but the young doctor, not satRed
would beg and plead for more
cne for resussitation, until the fami
became very indignant. In the
lird day, when he begged for 15
ore minutes, he then, taking a
father, saturating the same with
.1 he inserted it down the patient's
iroat, at the same time Diowmg into
3 nostrils, keeping his ear over the
itient's heart, he imagined he periived
a faint pulsation, which en>uraged
greater efforts on his part,
inally there was perceived a slight
roan and then the patient opened
s eyes. After lingering between life
id death, he/ was restored to
rength of boay but not mind. He
as then started to school but could
3t learn, not even his letters. See!g
his sister on one occasion readg
the Bible,"he asked her what it
as. She told him, then he ^sked her
hat the Bible was. This friade her
eep. to know that he had been
rought up for the ministry and not

RACE FOR U. S. SENATE
AS SENN BY W. J. CORMACK \
By W. J. Cormack. '
Columbia, Aug. 2.?With the can- (
" ~ ' i? i T
vass-of two-thirds ot the counties uj
the state completed by "candidates foT 1
the United States senate, and the J
resultant knowledge of political con i
ditions in those counties fairly wel? 1
known, a survey of the chances ol
the participants can be made with
some degree of accuracy.
Senator E. D. Smith of Lynchburg
incumbent, who went into the rac<
with all prestige of his high ojce be
hind him, apparently is weaking i:
the estimation of the voters, anr
George Warren of Hampton, solici
tor of the fourteenth judicial circuit
an unknown factor at the commence
ment of the campaign, is gaininr
tremendous strength. William P
Pollock of Cheraw, ex-United State
' ? f V> ^ trri n cr lin &S hif
s6n3ior^ is nut' onvr???
friends predicted, although he is ex
Dected to receive a creditable vot<
for past political services. Willian
C. Irby of Laurens, who was in th'
race for governor in 1914, will ge
a respectable mill vote.
Labor is not at all satisfied wit?
the attitude of Senator Smith, no"
with his votes in the senate,, and thr
element is throwing the majority o-'
its strength to Mr. Warren, ^yhbsr
nlatform is satisfactory to labor. Mr
Irby. who has been a labor advocate
all "his life, likewise will pet somr
organized union ballots. Mr. Pol
ock, as far as labor is concerned, i
a negligible factor.
The farmer vote, which was sup
nosed to be strongly entrenched be
hind the senior senator, is not show
ing up as spontaneously for him a?
was at first thought. 'Mr. Warrer
will run strong in the rural districts
and Mr. Pollock will get some farmer
' votes.
Judging from the aDplause at thf
campaign meetings which, however
have been _ slimly attended, th<Hampton
county candidate has .thf
best of the situation so far", withNin
i creasing attendance and more enthus+Vm

"George Warren is a man of abi.

its practical application. His knowj
edge of government affairs acquire
by close study peculiarly fits him fc

as a statesman. However, we ca.

the assurance that, in the even
of his election, South Carolina wii
be proud of her young senator.
We are not given the power c
prophecy, but knowing the man an
his ability, his ideas of government
his respect for the constitution, hi
beliefs in/the doctrines of Calhoui
we are convinced that George Wa:
ren by the possessiorf5 of those qual '

of such a man."
WARREN FOR SENATOR
| George Warren of Hampton ha
crrowine in popular favor sine, j
vvv** O w - his
entry into the r$te for the Unite-;
States senate.
A few weeks ago the predictioi
was freely indulged that Senatoi
Smifh would defeat his three oppo
nents in the first race.
Now it is generally conceded tha
there will be a second race and tha
George Warren will, be in it.
In a second race with Senato
Smith, the advantage will be witl
Warren.
The boasted Smith strength is fas
dwindling away. It has largely beei
a myth.
Not all the farmers are Smith men J
This is the day of the young man.
Warren is young, but he has a re
cord of achievement behind him.
Smith is no longer young, but ther;
is little to which he can point, de

STATE'S RIGHTS.
There can be no doubt but that
even the casual student of political
history can detect that the federal
government is steadily infringing upon
state's rights. Particular instances 1
are pointed out' by Mr. Warren, candidate
for the United States senate. }
We are among those who do not like 1
this idea. The states shc>ld be fref
to regulate their own affairs. Th<
nineteenth amendment of the consti ^
tution of the United States stands i .
j _u ? n-f Ko^rtminp" on '
mignty goou cuantc m 0 - ^
erative. Only one more state is re
quired to ratify the woman's suffrag<
amendment, and the governor oi
Tennessee has called a special sessioi
of the legislature in his state whicl
will consider this amendment, ft
Tennessee ratifies the nineteenth
amendment then we will. have wo
man's suffrage and the individua:
states can not help themselves. We
believe each state should be ailow
ed to regulate this matter independent
of the federal governmnt. Ii
the people of this state want womar ,
suffrage they should ^ be allowed tc
adopt it for themselves. If they an
opposed to it they shouia not nave i
thrust upon them. In various way;
the federal government is infringing
upon state's rights and the tendency ,
in this direction should be checked

epublic so recognized it and it is
ipparent now.
No one will deny that our governnent
is becoming more centralized
n Washington. . ,
The sovereignty of the states is
gradually being undermined and takm
away.
A continuance of this practice will
nevitably and absolutely lead to an
lutocracy in una tuunnj.
Will you sit passively by and surrender
what liberties you have left

suffered and died to - obtain for you

lutocratic government?
If we surrender these liberties
iow our chil.'rm can only regain
hem by revolution.
We say the centralization of our
government has gone far enough.
Let' us put a stop to it by a peaceful
use of our ballots rather than to
lave our children stop it by a revolution.?The
