CAMDKN, S. C., Oct. 21st, 1892. Tote For Strait ?. Brooks Sliyh, -republican con gressional nomfnee of * his district, is making a stil! hunt, if Any si all; he has scarcely heen heard from since his nomination. His object in securing the nomination was merely to bring himself into prominence with republican offi cisls and place him?elf in ? posi tion to get a better federal clerk sbip in case Harrison should lie elected. That should not, however, c loll Democrats into a spirit of apathy. We for Strait; he is the regularly nominated candidate of l'i?e democracy snd deserves your support as much as any man on the ticket. Gire Strait a rousing majority and consign this young '^-start to the deep political ob Iitjo# that he deserves for having f.nraed against his race snd th< democracy for tlie sake of sordid gain. Gov. Tillman, Treasurer Bates and foBirrMman Brawley have been in JSsur..york daring the pant' week making effort* to place bonds to refund the state debt which fails due next year. If the debt can be refunds at 4 per c nt. in terert instead of what is now paid , it will wean a savin*; of $100t000 a v* ar to the taxpayers of the state. Evkbt qualified voter that abstains from exercising his prerogative, which is hi# duty as well, fives a half vote to the enemy. Remember thut , Democrats , and do your fill' duty on Not. 8th by vot ing the full democratic ticket from presi dent to coroner. Tiiksk is a regular land-slide of promi nent ?en throughout the length ami breadth of the land from the party of fraudulent pensions and t'ie robber tarfff into the cam? of democracy. The pros ports of Cleveland** election become brighter every day. ,Hob. T. J Strait i Lancaster Ledger.] Kvery democratic roUr in the Fifth Congressional District has seen Dr. T. J. Strait, or know? the viewa he holds on the political is sues ?f the dsy, hut comparatively few Are acquainted with the his tory of the man. Everybody knows of hit push, pluck ard jjersever ance and how tl:ey brought him out on top in the primary cam paign just closed. No other iaa* in the District could hare beaten Hon. John J. HemphilL The same push and pluck which made him victor in the contest with Hemp hill, has been exhibited from earl/ manhood and has made him sue I cessful io every undertaking. Thomas JefTersen Strait was born near Richbu g. Chester coun ty, J>eceraber 25, 1846. He was the fifth son of Jacob F. and Isa bella Wylie Strait, At the age of 15 years. March 1861, he entered the army, enlfoting with the Sixth S. C. Volunteers. In the laH of 1863 he waa tranifered to the 24th S. C. Volunteers and remaiued un til the .close of the war with this command. o He recited four wjunds daring the war --one at 2nd j Manassas, on* at Jonosbnro, Ga. , and two at Franklin, Tenn. He ! waa a good soldier, and with the . exception of the battle at Sharps Wrg, when disabled by the wound received at Manassa*, he waa in every engagement of his command. He waa orderly sergeant ! of hfe company when the war clostdk ^ ? After the war he entered Mayes ville school, remaining there one1 year, returning to his laltors on the farm.

In the spring of 1872 ha moved West and entered Cooper laetitute of Mississippi and re roataed there until he graduated, working at the carpenter's trade on Saturdays and at spare times a*d during his vacation to get the hod ?yey to pay his way through college. In 1S78 he returned to Chester county and taught school. In Au- j gnat 187% he accepted the princi palship of the Ebenezer High School, then a flourishing school. After three years he resigned to take charge of the Franklin Insti tute at this place. After teaching for two years, he reaigned on ac oonni of declining health and pur- j chased a farm two miles, west of ^towa and went back to his old par suit. His spare moments he de voted to studying medicine, to which he had been giving his spare time aertrai rears. In 18S! he entered the S. C. Medical Col lege from which institution lie grad Hated in 18S3 with honors. He lo cated at this place and at once i huilt up a large practice. He ha* bee.? very successful as a physician. Two year? ago he was elected I Slate Senator from this county on Uie reform ticket. He wn? ap pointed on several legislative com mit'tees and was chairman of the committee appointed to investig-i'e the asylum. True to the al.iance he voted and worked for the elec tion of Donaldson to the U S. Sen ate. rs. lie wag elected a delegate fiom this county to the May State ('on rent ion of this 3*ear. On June 2nd last, the alliance of this Congress ionul District held a coaference at Rock H it! t.? snggesl a candidate 1 . * for Congress in the Democratic . primary- Dr. Strait, nfter a long conference, was suggested.
