if you destroy the farms the streets oi

justly raise a- sense of obligation in the

Bamberg expects to show to the countrj
a plain recognition of this certain dependence
by bidding the life out of the

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."

How He Knew.
s Sir Robert Finlay, the new attorney
1 general of England, was once engaged on
1 a case of warranty of a horse, the age of
1 the animal being the chief matter in
t dispute. Sir Robert was examining a
s hostler, who had every appearance of
r rustic simplicity.
"Upon what authority do you swear to
the age of the mare?" Sir Robert asked.
"I am sure of it," was the reply.
Half a dozen more questions failed to
| elicit from the witness any more specific
? answer.
? "But how do you know it ?" thundered
T Sir Robert, at last.
1 "I had it from the mare's own mouth,"

HON. 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.

Too Hot to Marry in Chicago.
Even weddings were postponed by
reason of the heat. John F. Colbert was
to have been married yesterday to a young
lady living in the suburbs of Oak Park.
Colbert came to the conclusion at
almost the last moment that it was entirely
too hot for the ceremony, and early in
the day, according to the statements of
his friends, he started to Oak Park to
arrange a postponement. The bride to
be would not listen to such an arangement,
so Colbert boarded a car for the
city to obtain the marriage license. Before
he reached the city he was overcome
by the heat and fell unconscious. He
will recover, and the wedding will occur
at some future date.
