Sumter, S. C. Opposite Bank of Sumter. I). J. BRADHA1 FOR CORESS. There never was in the history of this County a greater need to have in the halls of Congress a representative who is in sympathy with the toiling masses than at present, and for the first time will the people of the Sixth Congressional District have an op portunity to cast their votes for a Clarendon man. It is a matter of political history that Clarendon, al though with good Congressional tim ber within her borders, has time and again given her aid to Darlington, Marlboro and Marion,and was largely instrumental in honoring the favorite sons of these Counties. Now that there is a vacancy caused by the pro motion of Hon. John L. McLaurin we think it meet and proper that Clarendon's claims be recognized,and in presenting the name of Captain D. J.Bradham we can safely say he will *carry the standard entrusted to him with honor to himself and his country. Captain Bradham is a man of the *people, born and raised in Clarendon County, and when but a lad he en tered the Confederate service; after the surrender of Fort Sumter, with the late Major Henry H. Lesesne and others, raised the famous "Sprott Guards," and while in command of his company it the second battle of Manassas lost his lelt arm at the shoulder joint. His empty sleeve is a silent witness to his love of country. From 186.5 to 1869 he was sheriff of his County and declined to serve any longer when Carpet Bag rule came into power. When he re tired from office in 1869 he returned to his profession, farming, and when ever an opportunity afforded, his voice was raised in behalf of Demo cracy. He was dreaded by the Re publicans of this section and when the legions of Hampton's Red Shirts were forming he was among the fore most and did valiant service. Capt. Bradham was nominated in a primary for the office of Auditor in 1886 and with great ability he filled that office for five years. When his friend and commander, Major H. H. Lesesne, who was sheriff, died, he was ap pointed to fill the unexpired term, and in 1893 he was elected for the full term, and re-elected in 1896. He was a member of the late constitua tional convention and while a mem ber of that body he won many friends by his conservative course. He has always been strongly identified with every movement looking to thbe bet terment of the farmers and laboring men of the country. He was one of the delegates at large to the last National Democratic Convention and a personal friend to Senator Mc Laurin, as is evidenced by his able defence of the "Pee Dee's favorite son" when the Columbia "Register" re-f fused to publish the famous sipeech which made the whole people of the Sixth District proud of their repre sentative. Then, again, he displayed fine ability in defending McLaurin's position against the attacks of Con gressman Stokes. Captain Bradham is a self-made man, a prominent member of the Baptist church, a strong believer in temperance and a free silver Demo crat in politics. He is a fine debator and a pleasant speaker and by his owvn hard efforts he has climbed to: leadership among men. We believe that when the people: of the Sixth District take into con sideration that Marion has had a Congressman and now has the Gov ernor and Comptroller General, that Darlington has had a Congressman, and that Marlboro has a United States Senator, they will come to the just conclusion,that the Congressional honor is merited elsewhere. It is not our purpose to advocate Captain B3radham upon a sectional plea, but who will remember how Clarendon aided their favorites in the past and we believe they will now show their appreciation in a practical way. PIOUD) 01- MLAlllIN. The people of South Carolina have in the person of Hon. John L. Ic Laurin, a representative who is truly "a watchman on the tower," and his speech in the Senate last Thursday was not only full of convincing argu ment, but one of the greatest expos ures of Republican discrimination we have ever read. He eloquently hurled into the teeth of those who seek to injure him by charging him witl be ing a protectionist, a strong denial o the charge and proved by the records the inconsistency of some members of the Senate who are posing a teachers of Democratic doctrine. Mc Laurin showed up Mills, of Texas. and Vest, of Mississippi, and lrolede old Cleveland's Democratic principies. McLaurin is not a protectionist, and he denounces that doctrine as wrong in principle and pernicious in practice, but if the principle of pro tection is to obtain, he is unwilling for the South to be the victim of the greedy Northern leeches. He wants the products of the South to have the same protection as those of other parts of the Union, and in denounc ing the Dingley bill he proved be vond a reasonable doubt that it was a bold, bare-faced sectional measure, drafted with malice aforethought, to rob the people of the South and to continue the iron heel of Northern oppression upon the necks of the pro ducers of this section in order that the South may continue bearing trib ute to the campaign fried manufac turers of the East and North. These people who are charging McLaurirn with being a protectionist take good care not to tackle his arguments; they simply call him a protectionist, hoping to play upon the credulity of the masses who look upon the doc trine with fear. A few politicians in South Carolina are attempting to build opposition to McLaurin upon this very issue, but we will wager doughnuts that none of them will have the nerve to meet MeLaurin on the stump and discuss his position before the people. It is all very easy to give out a slurring interview at a distance, but when you meet your opponents face to face, it is either "put up or shut up." V e read what purported to be ex Governor Evans remarks on the duty on raw cotton, evidently intended for home political consumption to create a feeling of distrust among the people and when we read his reported utter ances we thought, whether or not he enters the race against McLaurin, it would have been more dignified in im to have waited until he reached south Carolina. If ex-Governor Ev ns wants to be a candidate against Senator McLaurin, it is his privilege :o do so,and he has the right to differ vith him on any and all public ques ions, but if he differp with him un er the present conditions, he would how more sinceirity and statesman hip in a joint discussion whereby .he people from whom he expects otes may judge between the two. We expect McLaurin to have oin position and so does he, and it v. .s because there is opposition to Lis views, that in his letter accepting the rppointment from Governor Ellerbe, de demanded a primary. John Me Laurin is the last man in the State who would hold position against the vishes of a majority of the people, nd when the primary comes on and bis opponents will show where he is vrong, the people have been educated uficiently to decide between men nd measures, and they have pro ;ressed sufficiently to judge whether .t is best to carry a rock in one end >f the meal sack because their grand athers did or to utilize up-to-date nethods and keep up with the'- pro ~ressive procession. Never since the days of Calhoun ias South Carolina attracted more ttention than she is doing now hrough her representatives in the enate; their voices are heard on all portant measures and when it ~omes to a measure affecting South aroina, McLaurin and Tillman trike gigantic blows in her defence Lnd at no time in the history of this nion has a new member of the nited States Senate taken so promni ent and influential a position in such tshort time as John L. McLaurin. The Springfield "Republican,"takes ssue with the Simenton original >ackage decision and argues very ointedly, if the decision is sust ained t wipes out the power of States to ~ollect licenses for the sale of liquor. If a man living in another State is >ermitted to ship into, andl sell in riginal packages, then there is no aw that can force him to pay a li ense for that privilege. According to Simoton, the shipper is accorded the 'ight by the laws of the general gov ~rument; it is an established doctr'ine hat a subordinate govern ment cannot nae laws which will conflict with hose made by a superior power. [hen, if the right is granted by the nited States government to sell we lo not see how a State aovernment n conflict with that right bjy forc ng the party to pay a license for the, rivilege of selling. Just so is it ith prohibition; if the Simnonton: leision holds, howv can our Legisla ure enforce a p~rohibi.tioni law when he United States government has ;iven the right to sell in original packages? and according to some, an >riginal package is any size package ~romi a drink up, providing the pack tge is clothed wvith a government stamp. This liquor question is in a adly muddled condition and some bhing in the shape of relief should be lone as quick as possible. It the biskey' sellers have the ights as are .ndicated by this recent decision, the sooner it is deninitely known the bet er will it be for all concerned. OLD PEOP'LE.

It acsmidi' o S t maeb L nd U mib. , ad in tn t ''gvu tne tu~roti orathereby a.-U Dg Nature th- pr.un e fth ue This is an oiY year in politics, but as with everything else, conditions have biought about a state of affairs which will make this. one of the most it resting campaign years we have had in a long time. A United States Senator, a Congressman and a State Senator will have to be elected, and according to the rules of the Demo cratic partv, the condidates will have to subnit their chances to a primary. T'ir: I I s has its choice of candidates the same as an individual, and in ad vocating its choice it hopes to be able t- atisfy its readers of the wisdom of such choice, but when it comes to local candidates Tue Tn-:s will give each man in the county the same treatment. We will, through these colum,'ii. support our choice for United States Senator and for Con gressmian,but for State Senator we will refrain from saying anything which will aflect any candidate. As far as Tin: Tui:s will go in our local contest, will be to advise the laying aside of factional differences and to select the best qualified man for the place; there are no factional issues, in fact, fac tionalisn is a thing of the past, and while we recognize the fact that there are men who, heretofore were allied with the two factions and who desire to keep up the division, we are satis fled it is not the wish of the masses, who are heartily tired of a continuous wrangling, and who are in a mood to repudiate any man who undertakes to blow up the embers of factional hatred. What the people want is a representative who will throw his heart into his work and do something which will be of benefit to them. The Senatorial plum now waiting for some one to grasp is not very invit ing, for the reason the party chosen will only have one session to serve, and in that short time he will hardly be able to make the record an am bitious man would like, but the peo ple will realize this and if he shows a disposition to be of service, they will re-elect him for the full term; if, however, he goes to Columbia and munches pindars and simply draws his breath and pay, they, of course, will not need him in their business acd another will be looked for. We want to see a number of good, strong .zandidates for the Senate, Clarendon needs a representative in that body who will be able to cope with the renresentatives of other Counties. We have the material, then let us send the best we have. THE T:nmis has no choice of local can didates; its editor, as an individual, of course will have, but lie will not in the slightest degree make known that choice through these columns. In the contest for National Rep resentatives TUE ThM s proposes to take a hand in discussing men and measures; there are vital issues at stake and we intend our readers to keep posted on them. The profes sional politicians will endeavor to muddy the political waters by brush ing aside the important issues to make a campaign of slander and abuse. Signs have already appeared upon the horizon which indicate the mode of campaign proposed by the opponents of John Ls. MecLaurin. They will not discuss any issues,their plan is to form combinations and to follow MecLaurin about the State wvith squirt guns of vituperation and abuse; all kinds of schemes wvill be concocted to misrepresent him, and if possible, inveigle him in a personal difficulty, but Johnnie MIcLaurin is too old a rat to be fooled by any gang of poli tical fakirs and he will force them to discuss issues as gentlemen should or he will burn them up with his elo quence. This is one campaign in which the peolple will not tolerate any mud slinging, they are heartily ashamed of the campaign of last year and a re petition of it will be hooted down. We know that 3IeLaurin is able to handle in debate any man in the State, and wve know that lie is practically the unanimous choice of the people of this section. They have watched his course and the more they see of him the prouder are they of him; so convinced are we of this, that we ven ture the assertion, he will not lose manv votes in this county. Mir. E. A. Webster seems to be the source from which the Federal ap pointments for this State are ex peted. He represents the regular wing of the Republican party and has bEen recognized by the ad ministratior.. Among his assistants is Edmund H. Deas. who is a candidate for collector of the port at Charles toii andl if services are to count, there is none in that p~arty more deserving of getting a good place than Deas. We have lknown him from childhood, and from the time he became old enough to take part in politics he has been a fearless worker. Deas' brav ry in trying timies was to be ad mired, even by those he wvas antagon izing. He has always been an un comnpromising Republican and worked zealously for his party. WVe have scanned the published list of appli cants for thes place and have no hesi tanev in saving that Edmund Deas' apointment would be preferable to any of the o thier Republicans so far named. Since the Columbia "Register" tailed to secure certain promises of sulport it has evoluted into a free lance. It is opposing everything it heretofore ad vocated and it has gone back on the men who saved it from failure. How long it will be able to old out with its newly-made friends depenids entirely, howv plethioric the purse aiid how much bleeding they are willing to stand. John Gary Evans said. "we had to buy it" and someone else has said.

Senator McLaurin's answer to the eager claim of the Republican press, and the suggestions of some Demo cratie papers and politicians that lie was friendly to the policy of high taritf protection. was given in his speech in the Senate on Thursday in vindication of his recent votes on some of the schedules of the pending tariff bill, and is explicit enough to settle all doubts as to his position. "1 am not a protectionist," he says. "I have never given a vote in support of that principle, nor uttered a word in defence of that doctrine. I look upon the doctrine of protection as in defensible." This is to the point and is sufficient. Mr. MeLaurin is not a protectionist, and lie is not "friendly" to the policy of protection. He could not be friendly in any way or degree to a policy which he openly and without qualification condemns as indefens ible. Nothing more need be asked or said concerning his loyalty to the principles of his party. As to his votes in favor of the im position of tariff duties, and "protec tion" duties, on certain products of his State and of the South, Mr. Mc Laurin's statement is equally frank and will be equally satisfactory to his constituents, and to Democrats generally with some exceptions. "My votes on the lumber, cotton and rice schedules." lie said, 'are in strict ac cord with the doctrines of Democracy. They were given in defence of the people whom I represent, and to com pel the Republican party to place the South on an equal footing with the rest of the country." They were not given to secure protection for the particular products in question, but to secure a small measure of fair dealing, of strict justice, for the peo ple whom he represents in the admin istration of the government which they support. We need not explain anew that the position of Mr. Mc Laurin i- the position of the "News and Courier" We cannot readily un derstand how any other intelligent Democrat in his place could have voted otherwise thanias he voted in the instances he mentioned. There is a wide difference of opinion on the question of the wisdom of imposing an import dutys on lumber in the pending bill, even if other Southern products are so "protected," but the difference relates to the expediency of such a duty, not to its democracy. We think it is highly inexpedient to encourage the already too rapid de struction of our Southern forests by excluding or reducing imports of lumber. The representatives of the lumber business, however, demand that their industry shall be protected so long as other industries are pro tected, and their demand is a just one. It cannot consistently be re fused so long as the protection policy is in force, and the destruction of our forests at the discretion of pri vate persons is permitted. The for ests are not to be saved by discrimi nation against the lumbering indus try in a tariff bill, but by regulating and controlling that industry, di retly, by proper legislation in the public interest. Senator McLaurin's argument in support of his contention that "the principle of placing raw material on the free list, while the finished prod uct is protected by a duty, is not and never has been a principle of Democ-) racy,' "is a very strong one and ap~ pears to us to be conclusive. He finds no assertion of the principle by any Democratic authority, until it was asserted fifteen years ago by an eminent New York Democrat in Con gress, who was also an iron maker and deeply interested in free imports of the raw materials of his business. The principle appears to have owed whatever measure of acceptance it has received from the Democratic party to the influence of President Cleveland, as Mr. McLaurin suggests. with unbecoming comment on the fact, and its assertion has confused not a few good Democrats, and, it is to be feared, alienated thousands of them in the last Presidential cam paign. There is room for a large doubt wvhether the Republican ma jority in the present House, and the preceding one, would have reached anything like the proportions exhib ited but for the treatment by a Dem ocratic Administration and Congress of the wool growing farmers of the West and Northwest, who fouind themselves suddenly stripped of every vestige of protection unde r a "reformed" tariff, which yet pro- I teted the wool manufacturers in fulli measure. They were unable to un-i derstand so flagrant discrimination: against them,and they recoraed their protest against it at the ballot-box. I The pending tariff bill is the result of their action in large measure, and it is searcely surprising that some of the Democrats, at least, in and out of the present Congress. are disposed to profit by the lesson the party has learned at so great cost, and to avoid like mistakes in the future. That is the disposition of Senators McLaurin and Tilhmaxn, and those who go with them, we believe, and we think that they represent the' great body of the Democracy of the State and the South in the course they have adopted. We believe that both of them wvould vote to destroy the p)olicy of Republican protection. root and branch, if the~r votes would destroy it. Being unable to overthrow it, however, and knowing that it will, be enforced for an indefinite time, there is nothing for them to do but: to try to modify its evil features asi far as they can, by applying it as equitably as its essentially sectional character will allow. And in ouri opinion they are right. -A singular omission in the matter of legal formalities is the failure of the Federal laws to provide for noti fying a President-elect of his election. rhe electoral votes are counted, and the result of the enumeration is re corded in the journals of both Houses of t'oigress; but it is left for the President-elect to find out the result in whlatever way he can and to present himself for inauguration on the next succeeding fourth day of March. As a matter of fact, the person elected to the highest office in the republic gets his notification from the newspapers.

CHENEY & Co., Toledo, O. a BEI TEIt CO31M1ON SCllOOLS The Saluda "Sentinel" expresses our views so cleatly that we have saved ourselves the labor of writing upon the same subject. The follow ing editorial is worthy of considera tion We should judge a people not by the many great battles their ances tors won: not by the many brilliant statesmen that gave them counsel in years gone by: not by the wonderfui progress of their country for the past 10u years: but by their actions of to day: by what improvements they are making day after day : by what efforts they are putting forth each day for the betterment of themselves. their fellow-men and their country. The old maxim of uncivilized races. "Might makes right,'' has been for gotten in the uplifting of mankind from tie vales of darkness and ignor ance iito the beautiful mountains of light and intelligence, and now the true itrinciple of the true man is the same principle upon which the foun dation of this nation is based, "Equal rights to all." The cause of this result is one word and that word is-Education. The meaning of the two Latin words from which this word, so sweet to every in, woman and child who has ever tasted of its fruits is, "a leading out," and certainly, the getting of true knowledge is the "leading out' of a man. Surely, it is not necessary for us to show you by "facts and figures" what great amount of advantages have been derived from the advancement of learning: but we feel that the peo ple of Saluda. and not only them. but the people of South Carolina. yea, the people of the "Sunny South" should be made to sieze the opportu nities presented to them now. Of course, we are advancing in the matter of higher education and are establishing colleges and universities: but there is another field in which advancement can be made. We should remember that before a boy or girl can enter into a higher insti tution of learning, he or she must have that primary instruction, that training in early life which befits them for this advanced step. This instruction must be given them, not in the university. not in the college, nor in the high school; but in the common school. Of what benefit is the college to a boy who has not enough learning to enter its walls' While our people are talking of and working for the higher institu tions, they should not forget the common school. Our common school system is far from being perfect. The children who live in the country do not get the education that they need. There, in the little house in the woods, is the place where the child is to be taught that which is to fit him for manhood or for womanhood. How necessary, then, is it for our people to awake to the subject: Now is the time to begin: now is the time to work for the children of our State, those who re to occupy the places of the men and women in years to come. Then, et us all go to work for a better sys ;em of common schools: for a system ;hat will give the boy and the girl rho is poor the same chances for an ducation that it gives to him or her ,rho is of wealthy birth. A FAIR CONSERVATIVE EDITOlR. In this day and time when the rery air is being charged with sus icion against Senator Tillmnan, it is ~efreshing to see that at least one 2ewspaper editor from the Anti-Till nan ranks has the manhood and the ~airness to come out boldly and re ~udiate the cowardly attempts to in ure a man who is devoting his life :o the welfare of the people. The ~ollowing editorial is taken from the bbeville "Press and Banner": From the Coinbia "Record" we learn hat ex-benator J. L. M. Irby proposes to ake the air suiphurous with charges igainst Tillman in 1903. This leads us to remark that unless Irby an substantiate something. andl come out etter than other men who have done the me thing, we believe that Irby will make mistake. It is perfectly true that, no m itter how bsrd the statement or how preposterous he insinuation, there are always people .vo will believe any evil thing that may be aid or snggested against a man in public The "Press and Banner" presumes that here are people~ in South Carolina who vill believe every evil thing that is said of 'illman, even at:er his accuser.s have, in ver instance, utterly and a'>s tdutely ailed to prove any of their ebarg.
