Mr. Chairman and Fellow-Citizens:
In consenting to become a cardi
date for State Senator, I did so after
considerable hesitation, realizing it to
be a position requiring much study
and thought, if one's heart is in his
worh and. if he appreciates the high
compliment bestowed t.pon him by
an intelligent people. The position
of State Seugtor is a high and honor
able one, if the individual, in whom
the people have entrusted with their
political standard and confidence
doe's his duty. To be your Senator
is a compliment worthy the ambition
of any man, and properly appreciated
gives him an opportunity to hand
down to his children a name to urge
them on in the battle of life; io en
courage them in making citizens who
will so live as to win the confidence
and esteem of their fellowman.
The people of Clarendon have been
kind to me, and if there is one char
acteiistic in a man that I love more
than another it is Gratitude. I owe
this people a debt of gratitude which
I am willing to pay by giving to them
my best service, even at a sacrifice to
my perscnal business. If it is your
wish, and you so declare on the 30th
day of August I will take the stand
ard that you entrust to my keeping
and promise, the proud, independent,
generous, and cultivated people of
Clarendon that I will jealously guard
that trust and I will honestly and
faithfully be your public servant. To
do otherwise would be dishonoring
to me, unjust to you, and a reproach
and a stigma to my children. .
Fellow citizens, in 1890 we had a
great popular up-rising; there was a
spirit of unrest and whether right or
wropng the unrest gathered in force
until it broke loose into a revolution.
The result was, irritation, bitterness
and strife and the floating into office
of some men who, when conditions
were normal, would not have been
dreamed of. In some instances men
were entrusted with positions who
did not pidminister public affairs as
they should have, but in other in
stances that revolution, brought to
the surface men whose leadership at
tracted the attention, not only the
United States, but the world-Till
man is today regarded one of the
greatest Reformers of the century and
McLaurin, as an orator and states
man, has few equals. But you all
know what we passed through from
1890 and you know who stood loy
ally by their guns. It would be tax
ing your patience for me to recount
the political history of this State and
county. I am happy to say that the
present state of good feeling in our
ranks today is largely due to those
of us who, when the Reform faction
accomplished its purpose, and our
institutions were no longer being
fought, brought about, under the
leadership of John L. MeLaurin and
W. H. Ellerbe, what was called the
"Peace and Unity" convention at
which Reformers and Conse'rvatives
rallied around the tlag olf Democracy
and promised to work f- r a re-united
people. It was there, where hands
were shaken across the political chasm~
and it was there, a condition was
brought about which started the al
laying of factional strife, and fellow
citizens I am proud to say from that
time on, it was made possible for you
and I, to vote for men upon their
qualifications and merit. This is the
conditior. today and, if it is worthy of
credit, then I deserve a small portion
of it and so does my friend Maj.
Henry B3. Richardson who was one of
my colleagues in that memorable
convention. Too many men have
held office in South Caroliua from
other causes besides those of fitness
what is wanted in office now, is good
substantial service and, I tell you, I
am not running for this position from
mere sentiment nor sympathy-these
two things have no place, or they
should niot have, when you go to pre
pare your ballot. Do not vote for
me, because I am a "jolly good fel
low" or because I have done you some
favor in the past, but cast your vote
for me if you think I will serve you
with credit. I am no stranger to you,
the best part of my life I have spent
among you, you have often trusted
and honored me and what I am is
what you have made me. I am identi
fied with this people,and am bound to
them by ties of love-All there is on
this earth for me, is the same which
binds every man to his ofi'spring; so
yo ec my thoughts are not on my
sefalone, but the? little Appelts whose
weal or woe depends upon what this
country shall be. anid, it is zy amb.
tion, and I long :md przay to see them,
develop and progress, mocrally, in
dustrially and politically. Fllow
citizens what were public oilices made
for? To minister to the ambition or
greed of those who tol them? No,
"public office is a public trust." It is
primary intended to conserve the
public needs; to so administer theO
government that each citizen
shall be safe in life and lib
erty, secure in property and the
pursuit of happiness. "Eqjual rights
to all and special to none." I en
deavor to be guided by these p)rinci
pies. There should be no equivoca
tion and doubt, as to where a public
He should always be candid wit" the
neonle, and if he oirers to serve them
3e must do so as their servant-He
-nust recognize them to be the mas
ter's.
In my pelitical career I have always
dealt candidly: I have never assum
d a "fence-straddling" position. I
have never failed to make known my
views and whether I was right or
wrong I always showed my hand-in
other words., I have rever resorted to
deception. so comnmon among politi
cans. When factional feeling ran
high, many thing were said which
were harmful, but I am not here to
reproach those who differed with me,
nor to apologize-both sides are now
acting with cooler heads.
I supported with all my might the
policy mapped out by that great
leader, John MeLaurin. who was the
first to speak out in favor of Peace
and Unity and, aided by the present
Governoi, W. H. Ellerbe, and Ben
jarin R. Tillman, a constitutional
convention was called made up of the
brain of the State, without regard to
faction; they gave to us a fundamen
tal law for the whole people and not
for a faction of the people. I recog
nize the fact that we have gone
through a revolution and of necessity
there must be a backward swing of
the pendulum in order to restore
equilibrium. I am not ashamed of
th'e part I took in this revolution;
such a movement had to come and I
am thankful to say that the patriot
ism and conservatism of our peoplE
have enabled us to p;ss through the
trying ordeal without permanent di
vision among us.
Today South Carolina stands as
the leader and pioneer among South
ern States in the preservation of
white suprewacy; her white people
are united as never before. and politi
cal conditions were never more
healthful. Winthrop and Clemson
are among the State's jewels which
shine brilliantly in her crown of
glory, but the most brilliant, gem of
al!, is a constitution which insurcs to
us and to our children a "white
man's" government. Go into the
States of North Carolina, Alabama
and Georgia and you find negro offi
cials, while in South Carolina so
strong is our position that our repre
sentatives in Congress, in a large
measure, even preserve the federal
offices for white men. There is no
important federal office in the State
held by a negro, be it said to the
credit of Tillman and McLaurin and
the members of the lower house of
Congress.
Let no one say the Reform move
ment has failed in the accomplish
ment of good, for the things I have
mentioned have been, through the
divine providence of a merciful God,
some of the results of the Reform
movement, and in these fruits all of
us can take a just pride.
There is now only one question
which is dividing the attention of our
people and I am glad to say this di
vision is not upon factional lines-it
is simply a differetice of opinion as to
the best way to handle liquor. There
is no more vexed question than the
liquor question. The wisest and best
of the nation have taken counsel, as
to how best to solve it, and they are
still at work on the problem, appar
ently no nearer to the end than when
the begun. This State. for a cen
turv, has been noted for the aggress
ive leadership of her public men. It
began in the early days of our Re
ublic when Pinckney and Lowndes
were prominent in the formation of
the government itself, in the consti
tutional convention, at Philadelphia.
Later Calhoun's great intellect dom
iated Southern thought and so
shaped it that the climax was reached
in the greatest war of modern times.
Calhoun in his day prevented the
monstrous doctrine of "free raw ma
terial" and protected manufactured
~goods from being fastened on our
people. In the dark days following
reconstruction, when the heel of the
oppressor was on the neck of the
South, this doctrine obtained as one
Iof Mr. Cleveland's pet heresies, until
our own MlcLaurin as a membe~r of
the "Ways and MIeans" Committee
exploded it in a speech that astound
ed the nation and opened wide the
ees of the political economists of
urope. That one speech was worth
millions of dollars to the South, for it
advertised her resources to the world.
It is wonderful to trace the effect
that South Carolina has had in moul
ding thought and shaping the desti
nies of this nation. M1assachusetts,
Virinia and South Carolina have
made the nation what it is. Pinck
nev, Lowndes,4 Calhoun and Hayne,
in'their day beid the attention of the
nation, and today Tillmian and 31c
Laurin are intellects that will make
an impress in any age.
It is not wonderful then, that South
Carolina should present a solution of
the liquor question. Now, fellow-cit
izens, let us lay aside all prejudice,
'and examine fairly the much "cussed"
and discussed dispensary law, let us
not approach it as partisans; it is no
longer a factional question; some of
the strongest advocates today were
aong its bitterest foes.
The dispensary law is an evolu
tionary product. It did ntot spring
"full armed from MIinerva's brain."
The people of this State asked for
prohibition as against the then exist
ing barroom or license system. The
General Assembly, took the matter
under consideration as a practical
question-the vote on the question
was not general, thousands upon
thosands of voters ignored the "sep
arate box." The barroom element
of this State was strong and it was
apparent that it would require an
armyi; of constale at' an enormous
expnse to enfor ce prohibitioni. Where
ws the mnoney; to come from? My,.
ot of' the p~ock:: of an alread tvax

eda prohibitory low and it was op.en
a delit. d. resulting in the people be
eomng "?sgusted at "iree liqjuor"
and 'ce cause of temperance in that
t'te set hack indetinately. "Neces
i is the mother of invention." In
1'02' it wats plainly seen, that to wage
battle against the liquor dealeis-an
in'iuence powerful, a prohibition law,
o een have a semblance of prohibit
inmust supply the "sinews of war;"
to wage battle against the saloon in
tluece as well, as the inevitable pol
tcal anagonism which came from
th fcactionatl division then existing.
The dispe nsary law evolved from
this c'ondition. Crude and imper
tle elements of strong common sense.
Great things were expected by its
friends, greater evils predicted by 'is
enemies. It has disappoined both.
The enormous profits anticipated,
failed to materialize to the extent
hoped for by its friends, and so have
the (isastrous consequences so conti
dentv exnected by its enemies.
Opprosition to the law sprung upi
from the liquor men. and mn who
did not believe the law would stand
the test of the courts: others because
it was the product of a Reform ad
mnistration and bore the brand of
Ben Tillman's approval. The decision
of the United States Courts satisileri
those who believed the law awnonsti
tutional, the obliteration of factiolal
lines, withdraws the opposition from
factional prejudice,and the liquor :en
are now left alone to become camp fol
lowers and pinderers in the wa:u cf
Prohibitionists, or any oCr kind of
"ist" who will gratify their vengoance
against a law that outlawed their
business.
The sole question presented today
i-, whether the Dispensary law shall
be set aside, for what, to use the lan
guagce of ex-Senator Ingalls is, "an
irridesent dream" and which as
proven a failuire. many writers, and
travelers say, wherever tried.
I have a high opinion of many who
are advocating the present prohibi
tion platform but, I am1 sincere in) toe
belief they are mistaken, and their
zeal for the cause they represent, will
in my uumble judgment do the cause
of tetnn)erance harm. Let us reason:
The prohibition leader Mr. Feather
stone. proposes to let th- dispensa
ries stand as they are, only eliminate
the beverage feature; that is, the Dis
pensries are by law, to be permiitted
to sell liquor only fir .medicinal, sac
ramental, scientitical, and mechanical
purposes. We presume Mr. Feath
erstone means thEre wi'd be so:ne
provision in the law which will re
quire certificates or permits from au
thorized persons to buy the liquor for
medicinal, mechanical, sacramental
and scientifical purposes. Who will
they be? A doctor can prescribe
for medicinal purposes? Is a minis
ter to issue permits for the purchase
of liquor or wine for sacramental pur
poses? We would so presume, and
we do not think any one else would
be a proper person to certify. Now,
how is a man to obtain a quart of li
quor for "seientine" purposes? Mr.
Featherstone, surely does not think
a scientist sits at the root of every
tree with a pad of paper ready to
issue certificates for the purchase of
liquor? When liquor is to be used
for "mechanical" purposes, who will
give a poor mechanic his ticket? We
would be glad if somebody would
knock the scales from our eyes, be
cause we cannot see wherein Mr.
Featherstone can possibly carry out
prohibition on his platform, it mat
ters not how earnest be may be. But
I do see that the prohibition he advo
cates, will not prohibit any man from
buying liquor whenever he can raise
the money and is able to go into the
disoensary. Fellow citizens such pro
hibition is a delusion, and I say this
with all due respect for those who
differ with me. The liquor question
should not be in politics and I tell
you, should I be elected to the State
Senate, no vote of mine will be cast
which will in my opinion retard the
holy cause of temperance- I do not
beieve we can ever have absolute
prohibition, I know it is an imp;ossi
bility aus long as the United States
government permits liquor brought
into the State. Whenever Congress
gives to the States the power to enact
laws which will prevent the shipment
of liquor into the State, then we can
take long strides towards prohibition
There are some people who ore uin
der the impression,if the State enacts
a prohibitory law, the shipment from
without the State can be stopped:
this a mistake. The United States
courts have decided that no State
can interfere with the inter-State
commerce under any circumstances
unless Congress changes the law; so
without the aid of Congress we can
not have prohibition, except in the
shape of a. "dead letter' on our sta
tutes.
My friends, the dispensary law has
been through the courts, it has stood
the test of fire and blood. It has
caused heart-burnings and sorrow,
and after paying such a price, are we
to throw it away before giving it a
fir~ test and take up a scheme that is
bese with worse obstacles? Take
IowaKAansas,andt North Carolina,does
pohibition prohibit in either of these
State&: Slaine is held up as an ex
ample and vet a traveler in Maine
will tell vou that liquor is sold almost
openly in the cities of that State,
and Colonel George D. Tillman says,
that they have a practice in Mlaine,
which p~erLmits the liquor sellers to
go along unmolested until a certain
time in the year when the ofileials~
make wholesale arrests and the par
ties are fined $200. This is done
once a year mind vou, and if that dis
tinguished gentleman is corree-t,
Maine has no prohibition, but in
Ireality, it is satisfactory to the liquor
men for it is a cheap license system.
Bt why cautinue this subject? There
are other matters needing our atten
tion and to my mind do not receive
the consideration they should-the
schools. I am deeply interested in
this branch of our governme~nt and1
I honestly believe if we will devise
bettor school facilties whereby our
children can be properly educated,
we would not have so manv "isms" in
our politics. Educate the head prop
Ierlv, and the heart will be made right
with little difiluty. I do not pre
tend that I have any scheme to bet
ter our school facilities, but I p~rop~ose
Ito makie a special study of this branch,
nd if the system can be improved:
or cu' of :eubition will be tilled to
ovecloIg.~ ' If I can devise a schemec
w hihwil give our children an op
portuty to go to school nine months
n the yeari without increasing theC
txation, I will feel that I have raised
a moument for myself more lasting
thn stone. I cannot agree with
those men wvho, to gain a little cheap
notriety, will harangue the people
aganst our State institutions of learn
ing I aor every one of them, and
I blieve ithey are managed with
business care, they can continue with
out affecting the common schools. I
want the common schools fostered:
ou wole existance depends upon
them, but we cacnt have good com
mon schools, without colege.: to mnake
teachers for them. I appeal to you,
m eo~ in tizens to wvateh any man
who will ask you to vote for him that
he may aid in tearing down any of
our institutions learning. We have
Clemson, and Winthrop, South Caro
lina and the Citadel; we should feel
proud of them and guard them with
tht protection a fond mother gives
her children, and I say, that when a
naum appeals for votes that he may
tear :way these institutions, he is en
leavoring to arouse your prejudices
and is not attelp1ting to consult your
reason.
Some think our Educational system
top heavy, if that is true, do not let
us tear down, but rather apply the
jacksCrews of common sense to
the foundations and add strength
to the sills, that the whole
fabric may be stronger. If your roof
is sound and the sills under the house
is rotten, you tio not tear down the
house. No, you raise the building
and strengthen the sills, and so should
it. be with our educational institu
tiois. Friends, this is one subject
that should interest every voter in
the county, for it is'the most serious
problem we have to encounter. Pro
bibition is a dream, but Education is
a reality that all of us must face, let
it cost what it will. Think for a rmo
merit, what makes a country develop
and prosper--Education. Look around
you and ask yourselves the question
are the white men of this county do
i g their full duty to their children?
Do you not know that intelligence
will rule, and if we neglect our du
ties now, while others are not losing
a moment, the day is coming when a
legay of ignorance will be left our
children to curse us in our graves.
White men! oh, white men! let
ine appeal to you for my chil
dren's sake and for yours, do not
let us sit down indifferent as to the
outcome of this matter. Do you not
see that the other race will actually
go with scant food and in rags to
send their children to school? And
unless we stop bickering about things
which do not help us, and go to work
to better our condition for the pres
ent and the future, we will regret it
when too late.
Fellow citizens: you know my
public record and my private career,
an can judge as to my fitness for
the position I seek, but I will say,
that I believe from my extensive ac
quantance with public men, my capa
eity for usefulness will at least be
worth your consideration,and if elect
ed I will,pledge to you to be the Sen
ator from Clareudon County, in fact
as well as in name.

Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain. Plainfield, Ill..
Iakes the statement, that she caught cold,
which settled on her lungs; she was treated
for a month by her family physician, but
grew worse. He told her she was a hope
less victim of Consumption and that no
medicine could cure her. Her druggist
suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption; she bought a bottle and to
her deiight found herself benefitted from
first dose. She continued its use and after
taking six bottles, found herself sound and
well; now does her own housework, and is
as well as she ever was.-Free trial bottles
of this great Discovery at R. B. Loryea's
Drug Store. Large bottles 50 cents and
$1.OU. 6
