Editor Reform Advocate and Times-Meseenger: We have re frained from taking any part in this campaign, and it was our in tention to have remained nentral, but as friend of the Hun James t Norton, we would be recreant to our self respect if we did not re* sent the seemingly, concerted at tack upon bis private character made by your papers in yester- day’a ispne. The Times and Advocate prt- r tend to desire that political cam paigns be run upon a higher plane, but, if the two editorials are sam ples of peace and unity, then in the interest of those virtues which ennoble man we would infinitely prefer a little more h—1 and damnation and less cant. With thWintrodcction we ask space in your papers to review the cou- f gressional campaign, and reply to . the insinuations against the repu tation of the Hon. James Nor ton. Mr. Ellerbe has charged that he has been grossly slandered andeu- ■ tered the race for vindication. Mr. Norton has disavowed any responsibility for the reports in circulation. This left Mr.Ellerbe the alternative of finding his tra- ducer and making a personal mat ter of it or turning him over to the law, neither oi which he has e; but has stooped to the very thing he condemns, and has se cured a lot of affidavits from ob- ure persona reflecting upon the ivate character of his opponent. ‘ t ' iug to hold the clothes of those who would stone our Stephens. Compare the conduct of James Norton and that of his opponent iu this campaign. At Bennetts- ville Norton said, “Instead of as sisting in circulating remarks against Mr. Ellerbe, he would rather help him. He had nothing to do with the matter and had known nothing of the specific charges until Ellerbe instanced them at Kmgstroe. When Eller-1 in the past, can bo relied on,m the future. Norton as an offeial is prepared to meet criticism, and his enemies will find that, unless they can impeach his official re cord, they only lower themselves in attempting to besmirch his pri vate character.

Affidavits set out that Nor- ls not pay his debts, that been caught running oT in the night time, and hal convicted by an ecclesiasti- _ irt of falsehood. Those are lions charges if made by reputa- _ personages and against a man io has not an established char- ar.but at the same time may lade against any one through slice and without any founda- 4n. The Advocate is disposed to at- _ mte guilt, because Norton does not deny each specific allegation When the editor of the Advocate ‘discards his bibs and dons • the ’garb of maturity he will learn that gome men’s lives are a sufficient refutation of their ene mies. Has James Norton lived inch a life ? As a boy he enlisted the army and made a good ildier during the last war.

To those who have mastered the alphabet of brotherly lovu, w^ leave the com parison, as to who goes down to his home justified. We have nothing to say against Mr. Ellerbe’s character, and con demn in any one aspersions against private character. The public character of a man as drawn from his tfficial acts belongs to his constituents, and upon the public record of J. E. Ellerbe we insist that he is unfit to represent the Sixth District iu Cougrers. Mr. Ellerbe was a member of the Constitutional Convention and the Jonrnal of that body shows that he was the author of exactly three ideas as follows: 1st. Reintroduced a resolution that the convention take a recess from October 4th, 1895, to Jan uary 14th, 1896, one hundred and two days, and as the expensed of the convention for salary alone was about $700 per day, this schema of Mr Ellerbe if he could hava carried it out, would have cost the tax pay esoiution did not have the pro viso of the Tillman resolution hat pay should cease daring the recess. 2nd. Mr. Ellerbe introduced an ordinance to dispense with the lolding of the approaching session ouly get the right remedy.
