If there is one thing the people of the South are guilty of that they .should steer clear of, it is changing officers Loo often. Wo believe when the of lice holder gels to thinking he ?wns the office ?and that he is the boss, instead of the seivant, of the people, it is a good time to give said officer the pink slip and say to him, you i' room is preferable to your com pany.

The people lone by making a change. This.dictrict is peculiarly fortunate in having a representative in Con gress in the person of Hon. W. F. Stevenson, He U moral, brainy, ciU-i' getic, watchful. He has proved his efficiency repeatedly. Then he is phy sically a rial man, and the physical man has much to do with ihe man as a whole. Now, we do not believe the voters of this -district are going to make any change. We believe W. F. Stevenson is going to .succ<K>d himself. If it were not for his splendid service as a Con gressman, we would draft him for governor, and the old Palmetto State would do herself proud to put him in | the governor's chair. We believe the 1 people of this district are going to let i irood. enough alone. ? We are honest in our contention to kc i i> our present Congressman where i he i and in proof of it we say right ; here that we <lo not care who runs, W. F. Stevenson will have our support, We believe he is the man who lias : kept faith with the people and that he | will continue to do so. Now what more 'can the people ask? Wo do 'not know ; who is going to run in the coming race and it makes no difference. We want it clearly known thai we | are for the best melt for office irres pective of friendship. We would not J .support our best friend for any office ! if we did not believe he was the man j for the place. We like the man as a stalwart Christian layman, we admire him a.-, a big American, but if we did not believe he was the all-round man for the place we would not support him. The first time we ever saw him j was many years ago as he <sat as J chairman of a big State' laymen's meeting in one of our progressive 1 it - j He cities. He impressed us then as 1 being a real big- man. We have watch ! od him ever since and we can say of | him, "Weil done." > We appreciate hi.s services in Con ' gross, therefore we are going to show jour appreciation in more than mere J words and we believe a big majority j of tin- voters of the district are going I to do the same thing . We do not be j lieve they are going to be ungrateful | to a public servant. Mrs. Bryan Thanks Governor. Columbia, Aug.
