Hou. C. >V. Harris Replies to B. B Evans in Crusliiiig Style. Last Saturday's State contained the reply of Hon. C. \V. Harris to B. B. Evans's false anil outrageous charges against him and the other members of the railroad commission, from which we make the . following extracts: *1 have refrained from visiting the various campaign meetings and from . writing political appeals in behalf of any i candidate, because the people were so . generous in their support of my candidacy two years ago, and because more than one of the present candidates were supt porters of me and because more than one r cfthe candidates are ritted to till any . office the people would give them. 1 felt that activity on my part, then, would be gratuitous, and a matter more for rebuke than for commendation or toleration even. Therefore I have preserved silence. Mr. 1?oLne,that ?f\vn tviiv ?urn fvSiri'W Xj > ClllZ> V.1KU illUl l M v I VU*. V-V....V mortgaged his farm and now lie is > president of a cotton seed oil mill. He ? must have interested capital and is not attending to his work individually.' "The tirst charge is an absolute false hood, but what does Baruey care if it would make him a vote. Now the idea he wishes to convey is that I have so | enriched myself since I have been commissioner that I have paid the alleged mortgage debt and am wealthy enough to invest largely in a cotton seed oil mill, and this is in perfect harmony with the assertion that the board is 'either ignorant ' or subsidized.' It seems to me that he 1 has used the word 'subsidized' so often . in this campaign without a syllable of . reason, as to have taught the people that his heart is truly set on subsidy. 1 "At my home, Barney, you' said I was a good man; abroad you are hypocrite I enough to make false charges. There. fore I lay down this defiance: Prov charge of rottenness on me ir. my office ' and I will resign* T" ?*?e by any man I > ever did a de\ar's worth of business > with that" i swindled him and I will 4 resign; prove by all that you have ' done business with that you did not 5 swindle them and I will resign. I deny i your deliberate and unfounded charges, and I ask that if you have impressed an honest man in this State that I have done other than my duty under my oath that before he votes his impressio'n, he come to my office and examine the open record , for himself. I assert that every complaint . and every petition that has come before our board has had due consideration, and in almost every instauce complainants 1 have beeu satisfied. Referring to the dis3 satisfaction I will say the world over men ? will be found who can see nothing beyond ~ self interst, and 1 will acknowledge the s possibility of official mistakes. ? "I ani president of the Cottou Seed Oil i Company of Bamberg, All subscribers to l capital stock are home people and the enterprise we think is honorable, if the 1 plant is small. It was inspired by the - fact that large lots of seed were shipped . each year from Bamberg and nearby t places and the meal shipped back the , following spring. This was a useless expense to our people, and we determined i to economize by crushing our seed at home. So the plant is owned by merchants and farmers of this and nearby points, and I am their president without " one dollar salary and with only a subscrip, tion of $250 of the capital stock?20 per cent, paid in. The mill is not complete I yet, our machinery has not beeu shipped. ? and you knew allthis, Barney, when vou said that cotton seed rates were low - because I was an oil mill president, and f yet the cotton seed rates have been in effect for more than 10 years. i "Mr. Evans just simply meant to slan1 der me and he knew that I was not in a position to defend myself before the . people. I would not have taken this s advantage of Mr. B. B. Evans or of " any other man, and possibly the fact that t I would not take these advantages being 1 known of men is one reason why I am 4 president of an oil mill and because Mr. j ' Evans would being known of men is one r reason why he is not president of any thing." ? He then goes into the question of rates, 5 and shows conclusively, by comparative t figures, that rates in South Carolina?are i cheaper in many instances than the North, Carolina rate, and in all cases are as reasonable and iust as possible. He closes i his communication with*the following: "The last thing I have to mention is r that letter from Col. J. L. Orr, addressed j to and read by Evans, in which he inti mates that the commission must be subt sidized. I only wish to say that I never i met Col. Orr; I never had'a word from I him in my life, by letter or by word, private or official. "I know him, however, by reputation, i and admired and respected him for his good reputation. I know, too, that to-day [ he is influential bv virtue of that reputation. People will believe him because he " is reputed truthful; everybody knows him 5 as I know him. For this reason his option ma}- be potent enough to crush my i avowal. If it is, I am unfortunate; but I will hazard this assertion: that when he ' stuffed Barney Evans's pocket with that 5 slander to be used against me in public, t he did an act that can only proceed from a vile heart. I do not believe he ever imagined that he was stating the truth. > If he has proof to show that his state. ments are true, let him publish the facts r and show that I am a fraud; if he has not, let him show that he has some sense of manhood, and remove the injury that he has done." jj A Mother Tells How She Saved Her Little Daughter's Life. s I am the mother of eight childreu, and > have had a great deal of experience with medicines.

J. P. DERHAM AT HOME. The Democracy of Horry, His Home County, Endorses His Candidacy. The county Democracy of Horry county requests the |>ublication of the following, as the character of Mr. Derham, who is a candidate for re-election as comptroller general, has been assailed by his opponent, Mr. Rrookcr: At the county campaign meeting hehl to-dav the assemblage resolved itself into a utass meeting, at which Mr. 1>. A. Spivev read the slanderous circular of N. \\. Brooker against Hon. J. P. Derham. Denunciatory speeches were made by Hons. Jeremiah Smith, Jaro Micheau, H. H. - - T /m: T ? * I \\ oodward. .Messrs. .?. .u. uhvit, Norton, and numerous others. The following statement was issued and signed bv every county official anil all the ean| didates ('251 in all) for county offices; and j was likewise passed by the unanimous vote of several hundred citizens voicing | the sentiment of Horry county: j We, the citizens of Horry county, in ' mass meeting assembled, have been shown ! a circular signed by one N. W. JBrooker and being broadcasted throughout the { State, in which lie severely attacks our worthy comptroller general, the Hon. ! Jno. P. Derliam, assails his official record, i and questions his Democracy. We wish to hereby denounce the statements of said circular as vile slanders { upon the name of an honorable man and an efficient officer. The charge that Mr. J. P. Derham was allied with the "negro against the white people in the dark days," is an infamous falsehood?without the least semblance of truth. Mr. Derham in the days of '76 was a mere boy of 15 years, and consequently had absolutely no part in this campaign, save to wear the red shirt, condemn Republican methods and hurrah for HaiupTon. Horry county has never but once in her history elected to office other than a true anil loyal Democrat. This sentiment, even in the "dark days" preceding '7b. prohibited the appointment of worthless and incompetent Republicans to till offices. While Mr. Jos. H. Derham (father of comptroller) held at one time an appointment as treasurer of this county under a Republican administration, it was generally regarded as fortunate that we had the services of an honest man and good official. He made an excellent officer, and turned over a clean sheet on his retiring. Mr. Jno. P. Derham was but 25 years of age when in 1886 he was elected school commissioner of this county, and this position he held until he was nominated and appointed auditor in 1888. In '92 was bromoted to the office of senator, in which position he gained distinction and made numerous friends. In '94 be was appointed chief clerk in the comptroller general's office under Hou. James Norton. In '97 he was elected by the legislature to succeed Mr. Norton as comptroller. Again in '98 he was reelected by the people to the office which he now holds. He was also an active member of the constitutional convention of 1895. For six years he was chairman of the Democratic party of this county and was its recognized leader. To all these positions of honor and trust he was elevated by the votes of a Democratic people. Until this man Brooker desired the office now so deservingly held bv Mr. Derham no one has ever been known to question his loyalty to the Democratic party or to the white people who have so often honored him. The charges of Brooker, displayed under the sacred Masonic emblem, against Mr. Derham's official record not only effects Mr. Derham, but are reckless, charges against every officer, in every county of the State, who is is in any way connected with the tax department. Said charges are sufficiently refuted by the good character of these officials. We regard these accusations also as a reflection upon the good judgment of the people throughout the State who have elevated these worthy officials to the positions they now hold. We feel sure that these insinuations will be resented and the style of campaigning inaugurated by this political sore-head will be severely damned at the polls on the 28th. if t* la&c picnsuic lxx tuuvijiu^ Derham's official conduct, vouching for his political record, and commending him to the people of the State as a hightoned, honorable" gentleman, and one worthy the support of all good Democrats.
