Campaign Liar vs. Candidate
Now, Hint llio campaign is on '
between the second-race candi- i
dates, it is not unexpected (hut
base charges nre being circulated
by the opponents of the different
aspirants. lint tiie first to reach
us, and the one in which wo are
mostly interested, is a roviynl of
the old campaign lio launched
against Mr. T. (?. Culp, while lie
was making tho race for county
supervisor two years ago.
It is understood Hint Mr. Gulp's
opponents in Rock Hill, and probably
elsewhere, are spreading the
report that during his term of office
two years ago Mr. Gulp ap-1
pointed a negro in this township i
as overseer upon a certain stretch 1
of highway in preference to a until
her of white men who were subject
to duty upon that piece of road,
and that the white citizens, rather
than w>rk under a negro overseer,
paid t! $2 commutation and
left that immediate vicinity.
It was hoped by Mr. Gulp's;
many friends here and throughout
the cpnuty that tin) matter had
been thoroughly explained and
amicably settled. Hut pot so?the
charga has brokpn out anew, ami
it becomes the duty <>f each and
all his friends to rise and denounce
the accusation as untrue. In justice
to Mr Gulp, and for the benefit
of those who nre not familiar
with the circumstance from which
t lie charge was created, The Times
gives it briefly and in full:
Two years ngo Mr. Gulp, who
hold the postiou of county supervisor,
was notified that a section
of the Charlotte road, north of;
in _ i * !!! ??1
run inui, was without an overseer
and was asked to name a suitable ,
U'.an for the place, Mr. Culp investigated
the matter and found
that the only white residents who
lived upon tho highway were two
men who were employees of the
Fort Mill Mfg. Company and rather
than lose the time from their
mill work had paid their road tax
Then, what remained for Mr. Culp
but to select tho ablest of tho colored
men and nppoint him overseer?
This he did, and almost instantly
was heard a howl that Mr.
Culp had appointed a negro as
overseer over a crowd of white
men. The accusation was not
only untrue but was made with the
express view of damaging the candidate
jn his race for re election,
and whether this was tho moans of
his defeat Tbe Times is unable to
say, but if such it was, tho voters
of York county rejected one of tho
ablest and most industrious officers
tho commonwealth has had in
? 1 * 1
jrijia U(J<III (I Uliar^U WHICH was
utterly false and without foundation.
The author of this unholy false
hood was a citizen of Iloek Hill
find at present resides in or near '
tlint city, and the following ex j
tract, taken from an article upon
the subject in The Times of September
f>th, 1(.KK), would seem to i
justify one in asserting that the |
chargo was worthy of the man. It |
says:
"Voters of Rock Hill and other
sections of the county where tliis
untrue report is being circulated
will know how much credence to j
place in it when they learn that
it was started by a man who was
suppeotcd of robbing a store in !
this place a few months ago,".
John J. McMahan, State superintendent
of education, doublets
learned Friday how he could sit in
his office and defeat O. 13. Martin,
which boast be is said' to have
inade repeatedly prior to .the
election,
t,u?
1 he Primary and Its Results,
An election return which came
in as slow as that of last week's
primary, if such vas ever the cusp,
is not rernenihereii by the ohler
residents of tiiis section. All day
Wednesday the voters of t his township
eagerly awaited s ?nie news of
j the result, hut without reward except
tlm.ujrli the inonore returns
< in the eounly papers which came
in on the evening train at 8.40. j
The returns Thursday were more
prompt and with the close of the
day it was learned who were like- :
ly to he the successful aspi- )
rants to the various oilices. Not
until Friday were the returns com
pleted, and many were the sur
?i... f....i . ..r ?i... ,iar. ..
mrn n? iu?* uirnu.i m till* uilli'l
out candidates.
In tlio returns from the senaterial
vote Latimer lead throughout
with Evans, Hemphill and Henderson
running neek and neck for
the second place. When the returns
from the rural districts be^nn
to arrive it was seen that
Evans' chances wore brij^htonintf.
and when the final count was made
he was the possessor of soino three
thousand more votes than his
nearest competitor. Latimer and
Evans will therefore make a second
race. The latter has decidedly
the best chances of success, notwithstanding
Latimer's heavy lead
in the first primary. Evans will :
^?*t much more support from the
four defeated candidates than Lat
imer can and will pull in winner
by a nood majority, lie lias more '
strength in the lower and middle
sections of the State and as much
in the upper section.
In the race for governorship
Hey ward took n long lead with
i'nibort, Ansel and Tilhnan follow- j
ing in a hunch for second place, j
With ureal anxiety to know, it was 1
for a long time impossible to say
whether Talbert or Ansel would
uet into the second race with Hoyward,
hut Thursday's return dis
closed the fact that Talbert had
received more votes than Ansel
and the second race is therefore
between Hey ward and Talbert.
Supporters of both candidates now
profess to believe that their man
will beat in the second race, but
with such a lead as Ileyward has
his chances for election are by far
more promising than Tnlbert's. In ;
the second primary it is doubtless
true that a majority of the votes
cast for the three other candidates ,
will u? h> Talbert, but when it. is !
remembered that Tillman's vote in |
the first primary was made up1
principally of farmers and cotton .
r?;il 1 tl._? 41... f--_ - i
in jh uj;ic, nuii i um tut" mi mm ,
when the next election comes off
1
will be busily engaged in the cotton
and hay crop, while the votes
of the latter class in the tir.st election
were east mainly because of
interest in tho election of some local
candidate, it will bo seen that
the percentage of decrease in the
vote is in Hey ward's favor. The
vote in the tirst primary two years |
ago was 92,000, while that of the
second election was only 00 odd
thousand.
Cards of thanks have been received
by numerous Fort Mil!
voters from county and State candidates
for their suffrage in the
tirst primary. Among the nnmboi
is one from Col, dim Tillman, in
which he advises his friends to
vote in the second election against
any man who is supported by '
N. (i. Gonzales, editor of The
State. Col. dims Fort Mill friends i

A party of local Jim Tillmntiitos
while discussing issues a few days
ago agreed that if Tillman does
not give Gonzales a liekin' they
will never vote for him again.
Too had to he disappointed, boys,
but Col. Jim doesn't seem to have
been out out for a scrapper.

Heyward at Home.
Tl is said by old politicians that
no candidate for a State office lias
ever before been tendered such an
endorsement by his home people
as that niven Cttpt. Heyward in
the lirst primary by the people of
Colleton county. He yot 2.258
votes against 135 for the other
four candidates?or % votes out
of every 100 east.
This is all the more remarkable
when it is remembered that Colleton
has heretofore been very seriously
divided politically. It is a
magnificent testimonial to Heyward
by the people who know him
best.
In addition to their votes the
farmers of Colleton, hundreds of
them, of every kind and class, the
followers of Hen Tillman nnd Shep- .
nnrd nnd H iikL'i'II linvu aiiriiurl thiol

address to the fanners of South
Carolina:
"State of South Carolina, county
of Colleton.
"We, the undersigned, farmers
of Colleton county, hereby endorse
Capt. D. C. Hey ward for governor
in the next primary, and earnestly
urge the farmers throughout the
State to vote for him. Capt. Hey
ward has been a practical fanner
all his life, and is therefore, thoroughly
acquainted with our condition
and needs. From our inti- i
mate knowledge of him as a man,
of his high character and emi-!
nent ability, we feel that we can !
cons -ientiously commend him to
you ns one worthy of your suffrage,
and earnestly request you to give
him your enthusiastic support."

Successful Candidates
The i>rimarv election of the 2(>t.h ^
showed a total of a little over1
It,000 votes, about the snmo num-1
her enst two years n^o. The vote
would undoubtedly have been
heavier but for the bad wheather. 1
Barron, Hailo, Beamguard and
Me.Gain were elected to the Jjegis- |
latere.
Crawford and Stanton are elected
county commissioners..
Cordon is defeated of re-election
as supervisor. A second race will
bo necessary between Boyd and
On In.
Williams is easily re-eloetod auditor
over both competitors.
Finley has a majority for congress,
over all competitors, of more
than 1,300, in York county.
Hemphill lead the county for
the senate, which is quite natural,
this boing a part of his old congressional
district, andnided more- {
over by numbers of 'zealous work- i
^ era scattered oyer the county.
