So far as we can judge there are no issues among the several candidates for congress from this district, all - of them stand for the same principles, and each and every one of them if1 elected, -will endeavor to give to the people service, therefore, a there is no need for excitement. ror is there any need to get C alarmed. The gentlemen who are striving to secure the sup- i port of the ieople are doing s what might be expected of can didates, that is, to present tbeir . own qualifications in the best possible light, in order to get as many votes as possible. All of us have our choice, and, this i, too, we may have without any L; disparagement of others seeking ( the honor-all cannot be elected, e only one can capture the prize, e the' one. successful can congrat- t uate himself upon having a I clean set of opponents, and y when the contest is over there r should be no heart burnings over I the result. The contest will be I waged more strenuously in Char- t leston than in any other county, u the reason for this is that Char- t leston has more interests to look after than any other county in the district, the fact is, there is very little a congressman can ( do outside of Charleston where c -there are large national inter- E ests-the navy yard, the fortifi f cations, the rivers and harbor, , and the public buildings. There s is not a townin the district out v side of Charleston which, comes d 1inthe class to be considered by s government for- a pablic n building, therefore we say, itis no wondier that more interest is y taken in t1e city thah elsewhere, p - The draiaage question is one 3 -.hich may in time, get the con- n sideration of congress, but in 5 our epinior, it will be mrany fi years before the government will give aid to this great ob ject, notwithstatiding .the fact, there isas much reason to getc aid from the government to 0 drain our swamp lands as there" isto give aid to the arid lands " of the west for irrigation; wes believein the course of time ~ the government will look into b this. proposition, and any con gressman we might elect will do 1 aR in his power to direct the -~ government's attention to the ~ swamp lands of the south, andC secure all that he can from the 0 treasury for this purpose. CAN THE GOVERNOR PARDON? The municipal authorities of y Columbia have recently awak d ened to the necessity of putting h a stop to the fast running .of " automobiles, and they seem to t] have begin on the Governor's o car. All visitors to Columbia ft could help but notice the speed automobiles travel in that . ciy, all of them run more than the n ordinance limit, yet they have al not been subjected to arrest un- p til after the Richland county ti dispensaries did not re elect the si lather of the Chief of Police to o, a clerkship, when they failed n to do this the city police no b doubt under instructions, kept a v watch on the Governor's car p -and waited too, until the Gov- si ernor himself was in the car to s arrest his driver. It looks as if w there is some spite work on the t1 part of the city officials, which a has resulted in forcing into the ft courts for their determination, ti whether or not the Govern~or si has the power of pardon in cases. b< of conviction from municipal t courts. The Governor pardoned ci his driver, and demanded the hi fine of $3.75 returned, this the tf city refused to do, and further tz it refused to recognize the Gov- n ernor's right of pardon, in this, re the city is sustained by its at- di torney. It will be a very inter- ni esting question and we hope w Governor Blease will push it to ha a finai determintion. The con - stitution gives the Governor of the State full authority to par don individuals convicted of = crimes or offenses, but whether 1N this power extends to a munici- - pality has never been deter mined in this State. and in the in States cited by the city's attor c1 ney the questions were entirely 1 different, and too, their consti tutions are not the same as ours, p, in some of the States the con- 2. stitution does niot vest the power of pardon in the Governor, in Ti ours it does. The press dispatches announce 4 the Hon. E. P. Mc~ravey, of 5. Pickens, will be a candidate for the United States Senate. Mr. McCravey gained some publicity 6. by his local-option compulsory 7 education bill which passed both Houses, which was vetoed by the 8 Governor and the veto sustain ed, but we hardly think that tbis Pi little bill will carry him to Wash- DC~ ingtanto nueceed Senator Smith IT IS IN THE AIR. Ever since the adjournment c he general assemby there ha >een a rumor going the round hat Hon. John L. McLauri vill be a canididate for governr ti the primary of 1914.

[Poiitical Advertisement.j Col. James Graham Padgett i: a product of Colleton County. Hi is proud of that fact. Born in - L4x14 log cabin on Beef Branct in 1869, he has lived amongst hi home people for forty tbrei years and has won and kep their confidence and esteem. H is proud of that fact too. He i the son of Capt. H. D. Padgrett COL. J. G. PADGETT, CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS. ex Clerk of Court of Colletor County and his mother, before her marriage to Capt. Padgett, was Miss Isabella Goodwin. Col. Padgett's boyhood was that of other boys whose parents who were poor. His youth was spent at work on a farm and he enjoyed none of the pleasures nor advantages of life in a town. The intermittent schooling which his work on his father's farm per mitted, was gotten around Wil liams. His father, being unable to pa.y his way through college, in 188E he won a scholarship to the Citadel over 15 competitors and graduated from that college in the Class of 1892. Col. Padgett has always enjoyed that happy faculty of making friends. and to a man, his schoolmates, as a boy and his college mates as s young man have stuck by him. He is proud of that fact, too. As a beneficiary of the State. the law required him to. teach for a time in its public schools, so immediately upon graduation he came back to his home county and taught at St. George, which was then a part of Colletor County. After teaching at St. George he studied law under Howell, Murphy and Farrow until the dissolution of that tirm, when he continued his studies under Howell & Gruber. In '895 he was was admitted to the Bar aed formed a partnership with the lamented J. S. Griffin for the practice of his profession at Walterboro. In 1897 he married Miss Ethe] Moorer, daughter of Dr. Pinck ney L. and Martha H. Moorer, of St. George. St. George was yet a part of Colleton County. It is an interesting fact that his wife was his former pupil. By his sheer ability, as a law yer, his keen insight into human nature and a fortunate trait which causes him to make his clients cause his own and light for him to the l.ast ditch; he has risen to tbe top of his profession at his home bar, and has always enjoyed an extensive practice. A man need not be rich to secure his services. Those who know bim~best. know that his services are for all. Some of his hardest fights have been made for the poor without compensation. There is scarcely a case in court in which his services are not en gaged as counsel of the oppos ing parties, and he has, perhaps defended more criminals than any other lawyer in the lower part of South Carolina, being re markably successful. At present e is a county attorney and the senior member of the firm of Padgett, Lemacks & Moorer. Col. Padgett has always taken a keen interest in all public affairs and subscribed liberally thereto. He has served as a school trustee, an officer of the Fair Association, chairman of the Board of Stewards and a rustee of the " -- hodist church t Walterbo- .- alternate to the Demo -()nvention at Baltimore, 'on the sta~f f Governor ieyward, and n 1912 he was Alected by the Democrats of the State as a presidential elector. As presi ent of the electoral college, he ast his vote for Woodrow Wil son for President of the United States. Colonel Padgett is a wvell ounded, capable man of exper ence, and as a congressman would reflect credit on the dis rict. He understands the eeds of the rural districts as vell as that of the towns and ~ities. Being of poor parentage ud raised on the farm to work, e perhaps better understands, ud sympathizes with the farmer nore than any other man in the ace. He has nev;er lost his in ~erest ic that life, and for a umber of years back, has run three-horefa rm near Walter Wild Man in Jaarle Near Lanes. df A thrillinfg story of the capture s of a typical wild man of the jun s gle, a negro, covered from head n to foot with black, bristling hair, r as thick and long as that on some .iant gorilla. on the edge of San Ld tee Swamp, in South Carolina, L near Lanes Junction, tifty miles o north of Charleston, is told by n W. S. Damon, conductor i n >t charge of the Atlantic Coast s Line passenger train which ar a rived at 3:25 P. M , from Flor s ence yesterday, says the Savan h nah Morning News of Monday. i- The wild -man, Mr. Damon states, driven from S a n t e e > Swamp by a fresbet in the San it tee river, hid in a barn near the a edge of the marsh land and, n when discovered, fought fiend ishly until overpowered and cow o ed into subjection. The man. is -- now chained and tied with ropes b in the barn in which he was cap r tured, the conductor says. e Details of the capture of the e man, Mr. Damos states. are un , known to him. Lanes Junction y is a division Point where trans fers are made for Columbia, e Georgetown and Savannah. He 't said that when his train reached t the junction yesterday .morning , at UJ:10 o'clock the little town was in a state of intense excite a ment over the capture of the nan. t The Savannah train did not stop > at Lanes. however, for longer - than five minutes and so Mr. Da mos could get.but meagre infor mation of the affdir. The negroes of Lanes are panic stricken, Mr. Damos says. THEORY OF THE NATIVES., f What disposition will be made I of the man Mr. Damos declares f he does not know. He says that - it is his supposition, -however, a that the matter will be reported i to the authorities of the State a Hospital for the Insane at Co lumbia and that the man will be sent there for confinement and 1 observation. The man is a burly 3 negro and speaks some English, says the conductor. i It is generally thought, the 1 conductor says, that the negro is either an escaped convict or a fugitive from justice. He says it is the general belief at Lanes a that the man went into Santee Swamp to hide from officers of the law and, frightened by the lonliness of the place and the fear of capture. became insane. . Another theory of how the man reached his present state of sav agery, Mr. Damos say , is that the negro, already mad, wander ed into the swamp and remained there. The appearance of the negro, it is stated, would indi cate that be had been living in the swamp as a savage for prob ably many years. DIscovERY of WILD MAN. According to Mr. Damon, when members of a famiily of negroes residing on a small farm on the edge of Santee Swamp went out to a ramshackled barn in the rea of their little cabin, about day b r e a k yesterday, they were frightened by the terrible sight of a man, over six feet tall, broad and muscular, with great brawny and heavy shoulders, covered from head to foot with thick black hair and whose eyes gleam ed hike those of some wild ani mal, crouched in one corner of the shack as though ready to spring upon the first living crea ture whichi molested-him. The family of negroes, it is said, were thrown into a panic and went hurrying in all direc tions in search of aid. Residents of that neighborhood went in r-e spouse to the frightened cries and pleas for help. A small mob, it is said, formed around the barn within half an hour and plans were hastily made for the cap ture of the man alve, if possible, and with as little injury to him as necessary. MAN FIGHTS VICIOUSLY. The negro showed signs of fight and when the effort to catch him continued tought viciously. Finally., however, without any of the mob being hurt and without inflicting any, injuries upon the man further than a few bruises of a minor nature, the burly stranger, more animal in appear ance than human, was overpow ered and tied hand and foot. Quickly the news of the fight with and the capture of the man spreadover thesurroundingcoun try and people from adjoining settlements and residing on small farms and along the railroads in all directions from Lanes Junc tion began to pour into that little town to view the strange species of human held in the barn of the negro family. Little groups and circles of people, the blacks and the whites to themselves, began to form all over the streets of Lanes Junc tion, with here and there a larg er gathering of white men, with a few awe-stricken negroes on the outskirts who would listen for a few moments to the trend of the discussion, and then go back to those of their own race to report. MUCH LIKE AN ANIMAL. The authorities of Lanes Junc tion are following up every case w he re a criminal has been thought to have hidden in Santee Swamp. or where a negro has strayed off anxd never heard of again, in an effort to identify the man. The negro, it is said, will not talk, glowering in a ferocious, sullen manner at his questioners at times, and at others appearmng wholly obli'vious to the quiries being propounded. When any one goes near the man he strains and tears at his tethers and makes a throaty, hor rible sound more like the growl o f some terrible, man-eating honet than of a. humn. boro and made money at it, too. He believes that more attention should be given by Congress to Ithe rural life of the nation, to drainage, to post roads, and ti, the protection of the products 0: the farm, and if lie is sent to Congress. he intends to bend his fighting energies in that diree tion. Jim Padgett's fortune is in his friends, and he has numbers of them in Colleton and othr counties who wish him well. Tnere is scarcely another mnan in the district out- of public life who is known so well. In Col leton county lie knows by name almost every man. He is proud of his friends more than of ali his other possessions. J. M. M. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICAIONS. as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

WHALEY. ro the Democratic Voters of the First Congressional District: The press has carried the announcement of my candidacy for Jongress, to succeed the lamented Hon. George S. Legare, and 2y friends throughout the district have most kindly assured me )f their support. My candidacy entitles you to an expression of my opinion upon those federal questions in which you are inter sted. Attendance upon my duties, as v member of the South aroIina House of Representatives from Charleston county, has prevented as early definition of my views, which briefly stated, are ,s follows: PANAMA CANAL. The early completion of the Panama canal opens many op portunities to South Carolina, ana particularly to this district. which contains the nearest port to the canal. When th-e canal is nished, some disposition must be made of the machinery used in .igging this great waterway; shall it be simply discarded or sball be put to good use in this country? It occurs to me that if this machinery is to be shipped to this country, it cannot be better sed than in the drainage of the thousands of acres of wet land n this very district, and in other Southern States, and if elected o Congress I shall press the proposition to use it in this way. It 8, to my mind, thoroughly practical to have this machinery ship ed through Charleston and utilized in this manner. DRAINAGE. Drainage is one of the most important, most vitally impor ant, matters in which this district is interested, and believing bhat an intelligent and comprehensive system of drainage will do nore than any one thing to promote the prosperity of the low ountry, I shall, if elected, advocate and work for such constitu lional measures as will bring this about. The Democratic platform dopted at Baltimore, by the convention in which I represented in art, this district, endorsed a plan for the "drainage of swamp Lnd overflowed lands," along with the improvements of our water ays, by federal appropriations and under federal supervision. PARCELS POST. The Parcels Post has my unqualified approval, and I be eve in its extension to articles not now included in the service. PROGRESSIVE PRINCIPLES. Having taken part in the convention which adopted this latform, and having through many days and nights, along with de other South Carolina delegates, fought there for the nomina on of Woodrow Wilson and the progressive principles which he ;o signally represents, I am not only in sympathy with those eclarations but in a position to render effective aid in their enact ent, as a member of Congress. RIGHTS OF LABOR. Among the most important declarations of the Democratic latform, in my opinion, is that relating to the rights of labor, and am in thorough sympathy with this declaration, which in part is s5 follows: "Questions of judicial practice have arisen, especially n connection with industrial disputes. We believe that the parties > all jud-cial proceedings should be treated with rigid impartiality nd that injunctions should not be issued in any case in which an junction would not issue if no industrial dispute were involved." nd, further; "The expanding organization of industry makes it ssential that there should be no abridgement of the right of rageearne rs and producers to organize for the protection of ages and the improvement of labor conditions, to the ecd that ~uch labor organizations and their members should not be regard d an illegal com binations in restraint of trade." This is sound emocracy, it is right and just, and I stand for it. My legislative nreer has exampiified my interest in these questions HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS. It is necessary for me to say to the people of Charleston, nd to the rest of the district, that I am deeply interested in the eifare of this port; the maintenance and extension of the naval ation, the army post and the harbor channel. As congressman r.m this district, I would work for an additional 1L000 foot dock, nd I believe we ar-e entitled to this. I believe in a 30-foot channel tom the sea to the navy yard, and I advocate the deepening of e Ashley river also to thirty feet. LEGISLATIVE EXPERIENCE. President Wilson has announced his purpose of calling the :mgress in extra session in A pril. for the special consideration of e tariff, and possibly of the currency question. By its platform, om which I have quoted on other issues, the Democratic party pledge~d to reform on both these questions, and I heartily en rse the position President Wilson has tak~en on these matters. tis particularly import-int that this district shall be represent dat the extra session. and if I am elected the district wili have e beaetit of the legislative experience which, through the con dence of the voters of Chairlestoni county. I have gained by my ried service in our own House of Representatives; I am not a ew hand at legisiative work~ nor am I unfamiliar with legislative rocedure and parlamentary law; having served eleven years in e legislature, four years as chairman of the judiciary committee 2d four years as Speaker of the House. WIDE ACQUAINTANCE TIhis service nad brought me in contact with the represen tive meci of the entire State, and in my positions of responsibility that body I have never known p)artiality or favoritism between ~en or factions or sections of the State. - Believinsg that I can be of service to my people, I am asking n to gratify a laudible ambition to represent the people of- this strict in the American Congress. For the first time in twenty ears, and foir the second time since the wvar. it is possible for a eocratic representative fronm the bouth to take part in really >nstructive fede-ral legislation. T1he opportunity is one that would tir the ambition of any true South Carolinian, and if I am the oice of the Democrats of the tirst district my endeavor shall be represent themi in a manner worthy the successor of the strong en who have honored this place in the past.
