AUGUST 15, 1000.
The Newberry lloraltl and News
is an open advocate in this election
lor Miles 15. McSwooney for ?ovrnor
of South Caroliun. We advocate
the clo^tion of Mr. Mct
Sweeney, snys tho Herald aud
'News?
Because, hisadciinistrntionrsince
ho succeeded to tho office of gov- i
ernor has .been u plain, honest, j
business administration; the nf-j
lairs of governmentbeingmanaged i
io the best interests of r.ll the peo- !
pie;
Because, as governor, helmsdono 1
more to wipe out that bitter factional
feeling which has existed in
this State for the past eight or ten
years than any one who has tilled
' he office siuce these feelings wero 1
aroused;
Because, since he has been gov- '
ornor of the State, the disponsury
law, the law that has caused more
trouble, more enemies, and more !
bloodshed than any law that was
. vcr put on the statute books, has
been more ably enforced and with j
less friction, and at a less expense
to the State, with hnlf the constat)-1
ulary force, than any of his nredo
r.essors, making the law more popular
than it luw evor boon with all
( lasses of people;
Because, in enforcing the dispensary
law, he lias placed some
.if the responsibility for its enforcement
on the officials of the towns
and cities, and the results, in u
great measure, have proven that in
ihis he was wise and it has redounded
for the good of the law;
1 Because, under his administra
non, in tho enforcement of thodis"poirsary
law, no man's blood ia laid
at the State's door;
Because, ho has shown a disposition
to do fairneaa and justice to
all classes and faotions and hns
been the governor of tho whole
poo pie;
Becausp, ho is fully competent
to serve tho people in a non-partisan
manner and with tho ability of
any of his opponents;
Because, this paper hns never
.been an advocato of prohibition,
and high license is not practicable,
and tho past has shown that his
enforcement of the dispensary law
is as satisfactory to as near all the
people us is in tho power of auy
governor to trivet
Because, lie is tho tool of no
man or set of men, and nets in
mnttors of State 011 his own good
judgment.
Before a Democratic convention
recently held in one of the Western
States, Congressman Champ
\Jlark. of Missouri, mudo tho following
observations:
"The issue is squarely joined. It
is the empire against the republic.
William MoKinley and his cohorts
stand for tho empire; William J.
Jryan and his followers stand for
.he perpetuation of this bcneficient
republic, for which our fathers
fought and for which thousands of
hem died. The Asiatic propaganda
is the meet

' "One of two things is true about
ho Filipinos, either they arc lit
ior self-government or they nro not

in God's name let them govern

oitizens. But whether tho Filipinos

will do if we tako them into political

"These jingoes say wo arc op1
posed fu expansion, and call us lit
' tie Americana. The name is an
insult and the charge that, we are
oppooid to expansion is a lie. It
is a lie made of the whole cloth,
and in ado willfully, deliberately,
premeditatcdly, and with malice of
forethought. I take it that ulAmericans

CcnxresjJoiei! Candidates ot Chester.
The following account of the
Congressional campaign meeting;
which was hold in Chester last
Thursday nppeared iuThe Luntorn
of Friday:
Congressman D. E. Finley was
the first congressional candidate
introduced, lie is not a stranger.
Two years ago ho won one of the
most closely contest oil campaigns
with four other candidates without
unpleasantness Tie always discusses
issuvs. llo has fulfilled all the
promises mndo then, mid has taken
good euro ol 1 ho interests of the
people. He always stood squarely
on the Democratic platform.
Though the party was in the mi.
liorlty there was much useful work
that could he done. As evidence,
practically all are united on the
Kansas City platform. Tho Chic
igo platform was not accepted by
many, hut they hnvo come hack to
tho party; the party has not gone
to them. They now see the prophecies
of four years fulfilled. Mr.
Finley then drew a parallel between
| the positions of the t wo parties.
The iucrense in manufacturing in;
dustrios in tho South is not duo to
the policy 01 the Republican party
1 hut it lias come hoennae Libs in the
I
! best place in the world for those
industries. It will be some years
before the Republican majority in
the Senate can be overcome, but
with Bryan in tiro White House
and a majority of representatives,
, imperialism, militarism, and other
abuses will stop. He does not
claim that bis part in the work of
Congress has been great, but lie
; did not stand back, as many do,
| because it was his tirst term. He
went to work to do everything he
could.
l)r. T. .T. Strait was the last
speaker. lie ie glad to see his
friend (Finley) now taking the
right position on imperialism and
militarism. There was more reason
for it two years ago, and where
| was ho then? | Finley: 1 didn't
know the result then and couldn't
discuss it.] I was the only one in
the district then that spoke against
these things. Then was the time
sentiment was forming and that
was tho time to discuss theso mutters,
but it was dangerous. The
young men were wild with the mil'
itnry idea and extension of commerco.
hie predicted then the
very condition that now exists in
the Philippines and China. "And
that miserable wretch" (MeLaurin).
Tho speaker told about his
i dark doings two yenrs ngo and was
cursed for it. Now people know
. better and nro sore over it. Dr.
: Strait had in his hand the News
and Courier containing a report, of
tho Tirzoh meeting, by W. 1).
Grist, also tho Yorkvillo Enquirer
| with uncomplimentary remarks
about Strait and Latimer. The
j editor of the Enquirer was n oup'
tain in tho war and acknowledged
that he was not in sympathy with
the cause for which ho was trying
to light, and that ho never felt free
until the negroes were sot free. After
the war ho got in with old
Merrill and reported every Kn
Klux he knew of. And "the pimp'

told you that he lied. J Strait
remarked that he would communicate
with Latimer and seo what he
| aays about it. AlcLaurin was oppoue4
to tho constitutional con
4
vontion. lie didn't speak against
it openly, but that was the secret
of his part in the "Forty movement.''
There was some father
colloquy during which Strait remarked
to Fiuley, "Your friends
call you an expert politician."
| Fin ley: "And what do your
friends call you?" | Stinit: "They
< 11)1 me a political fool." He just
told the truth no matter whether it
was popular or not. His only
charge against Finley was tli.it he
was iucoiupoteiit, not having the
sagacity to see the rascality of
McLaurin and others sooner.

At the National Capital.
Rojrular eorrospoiulcuco.
Washington, August 10,1000.?
Official absenteeism had up to
the present week merely been a
I cause of regret that Mr. McKinley
i and nu rubers of his administration
should to far forget the obligations
of the < nth they took upon assuming
office as to go away from their
; official posts, for their own personal
pleasure, while the Chinese
situation was at such a critical
! stage; but this week it 1ms been a
. oa..so of shame and deep humiliaj
tion to every patriotic American.
| When Minister Conger's message,
saying that the Imperial Chinese
troops were daily firing upon the
i Inirnliivii it> l?....
ho and other foreign ministers are
i cooped up as prisoners, arrived in
i Washington neither the President
nor the Secretary of State was on
hand to deal with it, and nobody
' can say now what this government
intends to do about it. That pub;
lie opinion will compel it to do
more than hobnob with the Chi:
nese minister to the United States
: and indorse all the fairy tales ho
can invent is extremely probable.
Much as Mr. McKinley dislikes to
call an extra session of Congress
to know what this government
shall do, which he should have
done weeks ago, it looks now as
though ho would not be ablo to
avoid it anil drift along, hoping
for some opportunity to do something
or to make a bluff at doing
: something that would be beneficial

Tho time for drifting lias passed.
Mr. McKiuley's so-called "ultimatum"
to tho Chinese government,
sent through Consul-Cenoral Fowler,
at Shanghai, informing China
1 that tho situation reported by
' Minister Conger was intolerable,
will hardly scare the Chinese.
They are not fools. Thoy know
that in this country Congrossalone
: has authority to declare war. For
that reason, if for no other, Congress
ought to be called in extra
1 session. It would convince the
Chinos that we meant business.

will expire next March, having

IUIU ilimuuiuy WOUIU HO l'Ccloctod,
Democrats are wondering
; what sort of n Federal appointuieiit
ho is nfter.
Democrats are delighted with
| Colonel Bryan's speech of acceptance,
especially that portion of it
which so clearly points out the
difference between legitimate expansion?acquiring
territory to become
futuro States?and the inipej
rialistn which acquires islands to
become colonial possessions. The
speech is probably tho most complete
argument against imperial1
ism ever presented in a single publication,
and should bo carefully
studied by every Democrat who
wishes to tit himself to demolish
every argument the Republicans
have yet advanced in favor of the
imperialistic foreign policy of the
McKinley administration. In fact,
, the speech might be called the
' Democratic primer of the present
j campaign.
The periodical statement that
this government has sent an ultimatum
to the Sultan of Turkey
demanding immediate payment of
those American missionary claims
which came out this week has become
both tiresome and farcical.
It was from the first laughed at by
tho diplomatic corps, the European
members of which know something
of how the Sultan treats
demands upon him for money. A
j gentleman who is in a position to
make a good guess: "It would not
surprise my if in the Irst weeks of
the campaign Mr. McKinley sent a
I strong naval force to compel the
! Sultan to pay these claims and in- j
jcrvi imu: juj^uioin liivu iuo puillical
