U JUSTICE TO SALEM. h The first primary is over, and p we are called upon to enter the r< second. It is cut of the usual v custom for this newspaper to n urge the election of a local can- u didate, but conditions create cir- b cumstances, and we feel that g our readers will not regard what -% we shall have to say as an in- p tention on our part co dictate, r] but that they will give us credit v for the sincerity of our motives in counseling them in what we h regard a matter of justice and c, for the best interests of our fi county. The man who construes v our counsel as dictation does us v an injustice, and the people as a ei whole, a grave wrong, as we -% will endeavor to show. It has i been a custom in this county to t recognize the Salem section as a s Jarge and an important part of o: us; the area covered and the t! property valuation makes that t; section entitled to a Representa- c! tive in our legislature. The peo- f1 ple on this side of Salem have n conceded the justice of this b claim, and have -often declared v they were ready and willing to C support a Salem man if they s4 could only know who Salem c< wanted, but when there are two p or more candidates for the place ir from that section, the vote is h divided and Salem loses. Dr. I. ti M. Woods from that section has if represented this county in the g legislature, and did so with n credit. Two years ago without a just cause he was defeated and tE his section felt that Dr. Woods' d defeat -was an injustice to Salem; u: these people have grown restive ri under the slight, and for the it Spast two years there has been v a disposition on the part of at is least one township to cut off ti from Clarendon and join Wil- t< liamsburg. The advocates of the r< scheme, not only urge the injus- p tice done Salem by refusing to c' let her have a Representative- p but claim that the Williamsburg t4 county seat is atleast froml10to p 15 miles nearer, which is an en- p then agmet We know, un- v can call an election of the voters a: in tearea to be cut off, and by o a 'two-thirds vote have them- s selves put into an adjoining b county without any further leg- E islation, and in the section we d *refer to, up tcy now, there are b enough voters who are not dis- t] posed to leave this county, but ti if we, because we have the ma- E jority of votes on this side, con- u tinueto go back upon our promise 3 to give Salem a Representive, it will give the advocates of dis memberment a strong cudgel to cut Sandy Grove and a part of Midway and Douglass off thus t< lessening our area, taking away ti a large amount of taxable prop- c erty, and in order to make up p what will be taken off, the prop- b erty remaining will have to beti taxed higher to meet the de- t< mands of the county. There has 'I been no threat from Salem, that o -unless we vote for a Salem man, u a part of Salem will join Wil- a liamsburg. No, these people are t< not of the threatening kind, but a we claim to be an observer of 0 human nature and, we believe. e we can see the inevitable result tl of ignoring a section that by b every right is entitled to repre- b sentation. Salem is tired of be- V ing a vote giver, and no benefit o receiver; if Olarendon can not b appreciate her votes, Salem can V easily put herself in a position r in Williamsburg where she will t: be received with open arms, and t. get full potitical recognition. e The legislative race has left tl one Salem man in the field whom a no man can say ought against. tl We know him and can vouch for c his high character. He is a man t far above the average in ability, C and we believe he will make a p clear - headed Representative. 6 D. L. Green is 28 years of age, P and has a good high school edu- b cation, progressive and practi. E cal in his ideas as is attested by A the progress in the community o in which he lives, much of which a can be attributed to him and his t co-laborers. He will, if elected, 1 be an honor to his county. It bC would be indeed gratifying if P Mr. Green receives a unanimous a vote of the county. Every D voter can with a clear conscience vote for him. Let us show Sa lem that we mean to be just to her, and give her only candidate ~ for the legislature a rousing ~ vote.e We urge the election of Sa lem's candidate upon the follow ing grounds viz: 1, 1 The candidate is worthy of our support. 2 As a matter of right and justice. 3 Salem is entitled to a share of political recognition. 4 It is to the interest of Clar endon that no excuse shall be given to bring about a dismemn berment. Clothes do not make the man; yet Solomon, in all his glory, was not ar WHAT IS PRINCIPLE? The pledge of the "White Rib )m Society" is to destroy the Lle of intoxicants when and herever found, and under any ad all circumstances. Now. in te name of conscience, how can man who has taken such a ledge brush it aside and vote tc istain the dispensary? Voters this consistent? People wha1 y you think of a man who put,, higher value upon politica anbition than his oath. Th( ledge of the "White Ribbons an oath. as much so as if th< tan kissed the Holy Bible. The argument of a candidate iat if he is sent to the legisla ire he does not represent him Alf but the people, may do whey policy is involved, for instance, hether the people are willing ) be taxed for certain improve ents, or whether they want v ,w passed to have the fences ut back, in such matters a Rep sentative can represent the ishes of the majority, becausc o principle is involved, it is a tatter of policy or expediency, at when a question has a reli ious principle involved a mar ho has a true conception o: inciple cannot and will not sac fice that principle for all of thE yters of the universe. In this liquor issue wenot only ve had a declaration that a ndidate was a Prohibitionisi om roligious conviction-con etion is the principle upor hich a man's salvation is found 1. but we have him adorned ith the white ribbon, thus pub shing to the world that he has ken an oath to crush out thE le of intoxicants wherever thE >portunity presents itself, and iat he will seek the opportuni. r. Then readers, under thesE rcumstances, can those whc ,vor prohibition support a Lan by giving their endorsemeni v their votes next Tuesday 'ho accepts the dispensary: an those who favor the dispen ,ry entrust themselves with a mpromiser of his religious rinciples and his pledge? If a an has no higher conception of s principles, and his pledge .an to brush them aside to grat v a political ambition what aarantee have w that he will )t change his mind again? We would call our readers at ntion to this. To be a candi te is not compulsory, no law ader the sun compels a man tc in for office, when he does so, is a voluntary act to gratify a ti ambition-we know how il -we have been there. Nov ren, if a man is not compelled be a candiate, there is nc ~ason why, if he has religious rinciples that are likely to be me involved, that he should t himself in a position to be ~mpted to sacrifice those princi es. Look at it this- way. Sup ose a question should arise in lving the doctrine of the [ethodist and Baptist churches, d it turned out that the Meth lists had the greater number o1 pporters, would any reasona e man have any faith in tha1 aptist who would renounce the ctrine of the Baptist churci cause the .

[Advertisement.] The clean fight which Maj. John H. Earle of Greenville mad( for the otice of railroad commis. sioner has put him in the seconc race with Mr. Mobley and b3 proper effort his friends can easi ly elect him. This was the firs1 time he ever sought public office He was a new man in politics, fact which must have been re 1 freshing to the voters, and whil factionalism in South Carolina i4 supposed to be dead, he receive( strong support because he wa the representative of the busi iness element. Educated as C practical engineer, and being; lawyer of no mean ability, h( will serve the people faithfully and it is well to have a mar of that type on the commis sion. Here in the up-coantr3 where he is so well known, th< vote showed that he has the con fidence and esteem of the citi r zens and that ought to be a con sideration to voters in other part of the State who have no per sonal choice in the contest. Ir I his own county Major Earle re ceived more than 4,000 votes . What other candidate for the same office can say as much? Honesty in politics, based or honesty in private life and pro fessional life, is a good safe plat form, and it is a platform whict means victory. Major Earie di( not endeavor to antagonize an3 interest. He was not fighting the railroaAs, he made no threat about what he would force th< railroads to do, but he simpl3 gave the public the assurance that if elected he would be th( representative of the people anc that he would use his talents tc help adjust the differences an the alleged grievances, whici have been so aggravating in thE past. He comes from good slock He is fearless, he has the cour. age of his convictions, and thos( of us who know him can say without the least hesitation tha1 he will do his duty. His lament, ed father, who died while anem ber of the United Sates Senate, didImuch for his State,. and today Major Earle is prepared to dc the same service, ever if in more limited sphere. Had it not been for the facl that a worthy son of OconeE county was in the race, the nat ural majority f6r Major EarliE would have placed him at thE head of the ticket. We are glad that Mr. Gignilliat received the support of his neighbors, be cause he deserved it, and the logical inference to be drawn is that the same strength will be transferred to the young man of -fered to South Carolina by Greenville county. Mr. Mob. ley's lead over Major Earle was too small to indicate that he will rdefeat our. candidate on Septem ber 13. It is not a runaway race for either Earle or Mobley, bu1 if the up-country will stand t< .its colors a perpetual office -seeker will once more meet de -feat, while the new man in thi ~field will win. It is not due to persona friendship alone that The Green ville News calls public atten tion to the merits of a Green ville man, for it would be th4 last newspaper in the State t< t speak kindly of any man unles: I it honestly and sincerely be - lieved that he deserved it. Bu Swe speak today in the commu ~ nity where Major Earle is best c known and where our utterance: a will not find contradiction. Hi Shas every right to aspire to thi railroad commissionership be cause he has the ability to dis charge the duties of that office :with dignity and honor. Hi: a friends in the State proved the' were of that opinion, and we art sure that they will give furthei and more undoubted evidence o: their regard for him by electing Shim mn the second primary Moreover, it is hardly necessary Ito urge the citizens of Greenvillt Scounty to vote for Major Earli next time, for they will do it o: their own free will and accord -Greenville News.

'Phon e .SUM'l To the Voters of Clarendon. I sincerely appreciate the compli mentary vote you gave me in the first primary, and I will urge my friends to turn out on the 13th to again manifest their confidence in me. Report has reached me that there 'are some who are trying to turn votes against me by telling people "If Johnston is elected he will bankrupt the county." I do not charge my opponents with the au thorship of this unworthy attempt to prejudice the voters, but it is being used by men who are profiting from the present administration of the Super visor's oflice. I want to say that it is utterly impossible for a County Super visor to spend any more t.han the legis lative delegation will appropriate, and 1 promise if elected to use the appro priation in an economical business manner. there shall not be a dollar spent in building a road through any body's private lands, and the force un der my command will be used on the public works only, as I do not believe the County Supervisor has a right to take the county chaingang and work it on private property whether the owner of the property pays for it or not- con victs are sentenced to do work for the public. I also promise if elected. t devote my personal attention with the gang, and see to it that proper work is done. The management of the county's financial atfairs is left to the county board of commissioners, one of whom. if elected. I will be. and on said board I will only have one vote, therefore it will be seen that to try to scare people from voting for me by saying "John ston will bankrupt the county" is de ceiving the people. Johnston is a work ing man and when he goes into the Su pervisor's office he gives up a position which pays as much as the Super visor's office does. and is more certain. but I have an ambition to be elected to this ollice to show the peopie what can I be done on our public highways if they will elect a man who knows his busi ness and is willing to prove it. Vote for me on the 13th and you shall not regret it. Yours. etc., H. L. JOHNSTON. Emergency Medicines.
