C., THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1904 One Dollar a Yeafrel BAMBERG'S CAMPAIGN DAY, i CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES ADDRESSED 1 VOTERS HERE LAST THURSDAY. J 3 . Meeting Held in the Court House?All the Can. 1 didates Well Received?Mayfield's Speech J Decidedly the Best j* "Straws show which way the wind 1 blows." A man is known abroad by his ( reputation at home. The fact that Sen- J ator Mayfield is idolized by his home people was verified last Thursday when the 3 candidates for congress from the second district addressed the people of Bamberg. Senator Mavfield was at his best and it * was amusing as well as interesting to see 1 how he handled the other candidates who < were crowding on his platform. i The meeting, which was held in the * court house, was quiet and orderly, and < was entirely void of any sensational fea- I tures, there being about 400 present. A 1 bevy of young ladies of the Carlisle Fit- 1 ting School occupied seats within the bar, i immediately in front of the speakers.- J Hon. H. C. Folk, county chairman, pre- J sided, and introduced Rev. M. L. Lawson, < of the Baptist church, who offered prayer. < J. O. PATTERSON. i Hon. J. 0. Patterson was the first s speaker. He began by mentioning the ' friendly feelings he had for the people of * Bamberg, which he inherited through his 1 Hon. L. J. W imams was lit;At iuuir | duced. He paid his respects to the ladies t present and the people of Bamberg gen- 1 erally. At the age of 12 years he was straggling for an education, managinga 1 farm and taking care of his aged parents. * * He would not exchange his experiences 1 with those of the polished orator. He * spoke of his legislative career, during * which he was always on the side of the * people. Mentioned hi? eight years' serv- ? ice as chairman of the State board of T dispensary directors and how he fought r to improve the system. The business ex- * perience of those eight years entitled him 1 to manage any kind of business. He ? claimed credit for the successful manage- f ment of the business, but was not re- 1 sponsible for its policies. He had always > v fought to keep it out of politics. The 8 men at the dispensary are free to act t as they wish and no one had any right to 1 ? say that the dispensary forces or influ- 8 ences are being used in his behalf. If c those connected with the dispensary, as t -individuals, are supporting him, he is proud of it. 1 He stated that this district was the sec- ? ond largest agricultural district in the 1 State. He is opposed to a larger navy. J Opposed to developing trade relations 1 with people who have no money. He is < - opposed to Federal aid for good roads, * but as it seems to be an adopted policy, * he favored taking his full share. This 1 . State is able to take care of itself in edu- * cational matters. He was opposed to < Federal aid for the schools if it meant J equal support for both races. Is opposed < to educating the negro. When you put a i spelling book in a negro's hand you ruin 1 a good plow hand. Favors the Isthmian s canal, as it puts the South to the front. 1 He dwelt at length on the race problem ' in all its different phases. < t. g. croft. { T. G. Croft, Esq., stated that he would ' speak briefly on the current topics of the day in order to show the people that he was familiar with political issues. He stated that his age did not disqualify him for the office. He mentioned the names of several members of congress who were younger than himself. He only asked for the unexpired term of his father. He wanted what his father had already won. Replying to Senator Mayfield, he said Senator Tillman had no legislative experience before he was elected Governor and afterwards United States Senator. Men of 30 were no longer in the kindergarten, and he urged that they had a full realization of their duties at that age. The Democratic party is responsible for all the advance in civilization and progress the nation has made. He favored a strong navy, no increased army with increased taxes. As a Southern man and a South Carolinian he would force the negro out of office. Mr. Wil0 liams's talk on these lines is mere bun combe. He mentioned the names of other 1 statesmen who failed in their efforts to ^ make this question a political issue, and ' that the Democratic party failed to back them up in advocating the repeal of the amendments quoted by Mr. Williams. 1 The race issue was settled in this State i when the flag of white supremacy was , planted at Ellenton and Hamburg. I Mr. Croft presented the trust question in a clear and forcible manner, and said the tariff was the cause of all the trouble. The tariff for revenue only, as sdvocated by Mr. Williams, is what we aow have. The way to fight the trusts is ;o take the tariff off of trust made goods. Be would fight Federal pension grabs. Favored more rural delivery routes and irged that this State was getting only )ne-fourth of what it ought to get. He lad no record only in his home county, rhe other candidates have such large records that they might "bust" any time. 8. G. HATFIELD. Senator S. G. Mayfield, Bamberg's own stand-by, was the last speaker. Mounting ;he rostrum with the agility of a boy and irawkg up his imposing form in majestic style, he poured fourth his eloquence in a style that held the attention of the audience. He gave an account of his twelve pears service in the State Senate. He had tried to serve the people faithfully and he wanted them to know what he had done " Of ancestry. Bamberg, a few years ago, 1 was called the "baby county," but to-day ? is the peer of any county in the State. He J spoke of the intelligence, prosperity and t progressiveness of the people of Bamberg. He had no quarrel with the other < candidates, but is running on his merits 1 as a Democrat. It is the people's duty to * fill the offices with the best men, and if 1 there is a better man in the race than he, ( he wanted him elected. He favors good 1 roads, more rural deliveries, no increase f of the army and navy, appropriations by k the national government for textile schools and developing the country; 1 Airanst trusts and monopolies. Is op- 1 ?o posed to holding the Philippines. 1 L. J. WILLIAMS. 1 ion. There is no use to waste time on useless egislation, but live matters that mean idmething to our people should be taiten lp. Why go over ancient history? The rapanese not long ago were out of touch ivith the commercial world and he wantid to open other fields. He reiterated his idvocacy of a strong navy. This country stands for open ports and treaty rights .vhich cannot be maintained without a strong navy. What would other countries jare for our demands and rights if we had 10 navy to see that the positions of this country are maintained? When other lations are imposing upon us we should le able to say, "so far and no farther." A strong navy will protect all of our industries and will increase our foreign trade. rhe navy has been the salvation of our country in distressing times. The time is coming when America will have to take care of the Pacific ocean, especially for trade reasons, and we should prepare for it. The South is facing a new era and must look ahead. We stand ready to receive the overflow of trade. The South stands for justice and right as it always has done. 3he stands for the highest intelligence md will ask for trade rights in the far East. He begged that his record be sifted and that he be not deprived of his honors because he was a lawyer. He defended the lawyers and showed what they had lone for humanity and their country. It svas no shame to be a lawyer. It was aever a bar to speak well from the day af Aaron. He only asked that the vote be cast for the best man regardless of county lines. He wanted his people to have the very best man selected. He had been honored by the people of Bamberg and he now came back to surrender the office they had honored him with. In his closing remarks he spoke with much feeling and eloquence which elicited roars cf applause, and at the close of his speech he was presented with an exquisite bouquet of flowers. "I have used Chamberlain s Stomach and Liver Tablets with satisfactory results," says Mrs. F. L. Phelps, Houston, Texas. For indigestion, biliousness and constipation these tablets are excellent. 3old by Bamberg Pharmacy; H. C. Rice. in a general way. He twitted Mr. Williams on his assertion that he (Williams) lad worked 20 hours a day during his jight years' service as the head of the iispensary. He suggested that Mr. Wil iiams wanted a rest from overwork and should be put in charge of a large bank, ind if Mr. Croft would come to Bamberg ind marry one of her daughters he wo aid lelp send him to the legislature. He ;hought that the other candidates were stealing his speeches. He indulged in some little pleasantries at the expense of ;he other candidates. He told of his early struggles for an education. At the age of 12 years he promised his mother that he would not ;ouch a drop of liquor until he was 21 rears old. At 21 he had graduated at college and going to his mother he was aroud to tell her he had kept his promise ind not touched any liquor. He favored jood roads and better sohools years ago. rkey were not new ideas to him. The -oads and schools go hand and hand. He peas not .talking of impossible issues, such is the repeal of the 14th and 15th amendnents. He would try to secure practical -esults, the first of which he wohld under,ake would be to have agricultural and extile training taught in the schools. He said it was wrong for Mr. Williams ,o say that the Republicans were stealing 'or pensions and other purposes, and that le would ask for his share of the stealing or his people. The Lord God of Hosts tas said, "Thou shalt not steal." He hought Mr. Williams had always tried to lo his duty, and if he was a candidate he vould again vote for him for chairman or nember of the board of control. He is a armer and wants to help the farmers. He vill go to Washington and present the Jouth's cause to the Republicans and fight or her rights. His doctrine is "equal ights to all, special privileges to none." He favored broader markets for cotton ind its products. He pointed to the mills hat closed, because they could not get the narkets. The Isthmian Canal would open in outlet to the far East for the products >f the South and he favored its comple IN THE PALMETTO STATE.

He said: "I can best tell you hovr I feel towards these fellows," pointing to them, "by telling you a joke. During the civil war when Gen. Lee needed information of the enemy's whereabouts, movements and strength, he often sent out spies who passed in and out among the enemy. Among these was one who was known as Old Faithful. Gen. Lee*could rely on the report of Old Faithful, and when he was seen going out the knowing ones would say 'something's up.' On the occasion of my story, hard work was being done around Petersburg. The boys were resting along the roadside as Old Faithful rode down the road on his old bory horse whose ribs could be seen from "afar, and whose hip bones would make good hat racks, while the crown to his sfove pipe hat flapped up and down keeping time to the jogging of his horse, he was an odd sight. In the ; company were three wags, fellows who * - ?- A t XI A. were ever reauy to run wnen me ugui . was hot and swoop everything they could get their hands on after the fight was 1 over. Just as Old Faithful entered the 1 ranks one wag called out, 'Hello, Noah, 1 where's the ark?' His companion about the middle jumped up and pointingto the strange figu re, shouted, 'Father Abraham, where is the boy Isaac?' The other wag, seeing the fun from the lower end, called out, 'David,sweet singer of Israel, where's your harp?' The soldiers were now standing up and fully alive to the fun. Old Faithful pulled his horse to a stop and standing erect in his stirrups and raising his hands as if asking the blessing of Heaven, said: 'Soldiers and comrades, I . am not Noah nor know I where the ark , . rested; I am not Abraham nor have I custody of the child Isaac; I am not David, the sweet singer of Israel, nor have I ever , touched his harp, but I am Saul, the son , of Kish, and for many days I have been seeking my father's asses, and lo! I have , found them.'" (Laughter.) Said the speaker, extending his hands, "Lo! I have found my father's asses." The shot went home, , the crowd shouted in approval, "tell it again, tell us another." The campaign < has passed but the story lives. It showed ( the ability of the man, his familiarity with Bible characters, and the joke sticks to the j bovs vet. Often the question is asked, "Efave you found them asses?" ROBBED THE GRAVE. A startling incident, is narrated by John Oliver, of Philadelphia, as follows: 4T , was in awful condition.

Mayfield has faithfully served the people of his county for a number of years in the State Senate and be now asks the people of the second congressional district to send him up higher, to the House of Representatives in Washington. He would make a fine congressman, and would ably and worthily represent his people, and no doubt the voters of that district will so decide on the Jay of election. He has many friends .1 1 -.1. - ?u~ ?,;n Vt4m r,arOUgUUUl tuc Otaic WUU Will niou uuu jreat success.?Baptist Courier. That puny catechising given Senator Mayfiela at Aiken a few days ago fell short of its purpose. Mr. Mayfield is always ready ana eager to answer any questions in regard to his official acts and points with 'pride to his public record, upon the escutcheon of which there is not a spot or stain. He is a statesman in the broadest sense of the word; a gentleman of the highest Christian attainments, and has never been known to stoop to anything that is low or grovelling.?Bamberg Herald. August Kohn, in the News and Courier, reporting the Barnwell meeting, said: NOBLEST ROMAN OF THEM ALL. In his career as State Senator he said that he had perfected and has passed more laws that were of general good than any other Senator within the past fifteen years, and he invited an examination of his record. He felt a particular pride in his work in connection with the road and school laws of the State. In connection with the dispensary legislation, he said that he was an original prohibitionist. But a fter the dispensary law came that he has always done all that he could to perfect the law, secure an honest administration and keep the institution out of politics. During the entire regime of Mr. EL E. Crum he said he was satisfied the dispensary had been kept out of politics. It was wrong fer the dispensary to undertake to meddle in politics; and then he went on to talk about seeing dispensary folks at the meetings, and that if they were there for any purpose that they did ot come as his friends. He said that it was largely through his work and his idea that the several counties now have the use of the profit derived from the sale of dispensary liquor. As to the race question, he said that there was absolutely no use to talk about getting the necessary number ot States to vote to repeal the constitutional amendments, and that it was wasting time to talk about such a ;hing. The members of congress ought ;o devote themselves, he urged, to live ind present-day issues and not talk about 'epealing constitutional provisions that cannot be repealed. Mr. Mayfield is pardcularly strong and forcible, and he nakes as clear-cut and able an argument lpon the foreign policy of this country is can be heard. Mr. Mayfield has ideas ind he knows how to express them on ;he matter of trade expansion and what t means to the Sonth. AN ENCHANTING PARADOX. He is not an expansionist in any sense, mt he wants this country to get its cotton md its g.>ods in China and the East, and le urges that to do this a strong navy is lecessary. The larger the markets the letter the prices of cotton he insists. Four and a half cents cotton, he holds, neans thirty cents a day to the farmer for lis labor; ten cents cotton means one dolar a day to the farmer for. his work and ifteen cents cotton means two dollars a lay to the farmer. The cotton planter ind the manufacturer, he holds, ought to 50 hand in hand in hunting larger fields for the sale of goods, and all of this, he holds, can be done with trade treaties and a strong navy to protect those agreements. v During his entire public service he said tie had always fought rottenness and corruption in the dispensary, and he has helped to revolutionize the dispensary board so as to get the best men on the board. In justice to Mr. "Williams he wished to say that he had always voted for him as a member of the State board and that he had always been continued on the board. In closing his admirable speech Mr. Mayfield spoke of his personal effort and sacrifices in securing his education, and how he had given up cigars and whiskey and other luxuries so as to have the money to go to school and colVinir nrAiid tenfi nf t.hft con. fi(fence that the people of Barnwell and now of Bamberg had shown in him, and, if elected, how anxious and ambitious he would be to make a faithful and capable representative.

Califf. Charley is as jolly as ever. He came over to be present at the marriage of Mr. George Turner. We are glad to learn that Miss Lillie Cooper, who has been sick for several weeks with la grippe, is improving. Miss Cecile Walker has returned from Columbia, where she has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Lena Black. Mr. J. Sigmund Walker, of Ashepoo, is expected to-day, to be present at the marriage of Mr. George Turner. Rev. W. Henry Wroton spent several days in Orangeburg city last week with friends and relatives. Mr. C. L. Wroton, of Rock Hill, spent several days in tnis city last wees wun relatives. On last Monday onr merchants commenced to close their stores at seven o'clock, and the clerks seem to be happy, as they have a chance to stroll with their best girl in the afternoons and not lose so much sleep at night. The farmers in this section are very busy planting corn and cotton, and it will soon be that they will have to hustle to conquer "General Green." We are sorry to report that Chief Hand is sick, but we hope to see him out and at his post soon. Quite a number of our citizens went down to Bamberg last Thursday to hear what the candidates for congress had to say to the dear people. The work on the girls' dormitory at the Voorhees Industrial School is nearing completion. Mr. W. M. Garvin, of Blackville, was in town Monday. . R. Ehrhardt Etchings. Ehrhardt, April 18.?There seems to be no end of the winter season this spring. Crops in general, and especially the gardens, are very backward on account of the cold. The farmers are still pushing forward though, while visions of 15 cents cotton urge them on to do their best. The merchants here have done a nice business so far, but if crops fail, as has been predicted by some of the old folks, there will be less cash to handle this coming fall than they now expect to place in their coffers. Hon. S. G. Mayfield passed through town last Friday afternoon en route to Hampton to attend the campaign meeting at that place last Saturday. His friends were glad to see him again and to receive his hearty handshake. Now that the political machine is again in motion, candidates had best beware lest they be caught beneath the ponderous wheels of corruption and ground to atoms; dying a hard political death, never to rise in politics again. Such is the fate of all except the lucky one, and alas! he, in many cases, only rises in one election to go down in defeat and disgrace in the next. Well, such is life. Oh! why does your conscience worry you, Mr. candidate? It is because you have done your duty, isn't it? Nit! Every one here is looking forward .to the Lutheran conference, which body, meets in the new Lutheran church here next Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There will be preaching on Thursday night before at 8 o'clock, to which all are cordially invited to attend. An interesting program has been arranged, and no doubt the work will be interesting to outsiders as well as those who belong to the organization. One of the chief features of the program is the dedication of the church and the installation of the officers on Sunday. A large .crowd is expected. There will also be divine services on the grounds every day. Another event that is annually ot served in mis community win cuuie uu the 12th of May. That is the annual Sanday school picnic at Mt.
