the heart of the father with

with solicitude,.and love and joy,
rejoicing that a son hud been
born to the house upon whom
could be lavished all that heart's
love and affection that only a
mother can feel for herolTspritur,

Now, in obedience to a preor-1

while writhing in pain and an
guish and agony, still findeth

perfect trust in Him who doeth
all things well. "Go ye before,

The closing meeting of the
County campaign marked an era
of that kind-of campaigning, and
if it is follwed up with another
of the Fame kind, will ring the
death knell ot the primary sys
tem as the expression of the will
of the Democratic party in the
selection of their candidates for
ofliee in the general election to
be held later.
Tlie canvass throughout was a
veritable love feast and a mtittial
admiration society. , ^li?. Smith,
who perhaps was running for
Auditor, would get upland in a
few ^jell chosen words say, that
he has nothing to say against
Jiis esteemed opponents. Messrs.
Jones and Brown. Both of them
hecoucedes, are fully competent
to fulfill.the duties of the office
to whiehhe aspires, but that the
people should vot<j for linn.
Jones and Brown get up ajid' go
through the ' same rigmaroje,
und so it croes.
So much for an introductory.
The Camden meeting was a-good
meeting. Nothing of an unto
ward nature occurred to mar the
pleasure of it. We had business
at our office which prevented us
from being present at its begin
ning, but we listened with pleas
ure to the remarks of the Sup
trvisors Treasurers and Audi
tors, anda particularly line effort
by Mr. Ri^iaixis, who covered
about the same ground as that on
which we have already comment
ed, with the addition of some |
very beautiful sentiments on the
old Confederate soldier, in which
he urged strongly upon the peo
I pie the propriety and duty of
i taking due and liberal, care of
these war worn veterans,

I deal of pleasure to have publish

only ono of the five was present,
Capt. Geo. R. .Rembert, we
will give this quintette, of can
didates the usual mention.
Ctiptain Rembert made a capi
tal speech, but perhaps the best
hit he made was, when ho
threatened' to come- down and
hiss one of those in the audience
who was interrupting him. The
interrupter subsided.

SOME REASONS WHY 18. C. W. GAR
RIS SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED.
A short statement of the work
of the commission during the
term just served by Mr. Garris
may be of interest to the ]>eople,
as well as of interest to the can
didacy of Mr. Gams himself in
the approaching .primary. Mr.
Garris takos the position that the
railroads and the.people arc
bound to exist together for all
time to come, and they should
live in friendship,if-tjnssiblc. It
is not right that honest claims of
j either against the tidier should
have be sued for an$l collected at
great expense to both; therefore
the Commission'carMo no higher
duty than to brtngv'if jpossible,
the people and tberUUroacis clos
er together. 'Rea4bn&bl^ rates
only should be allowed ? by the
Commission or cfosicedt by the
railroads. The averagetrf South
Carolina rates are n^w below the
average 6f the rates throughout
the South, and espeplal care has
been given by'tbe commission to
the agricultural and manufactur
ing interests ot the State. Only
recently has all cottop manufac
tures been- reduce^-materially.
It is not excessive to estimate
that the Commission's reductions
on cotton piece goods has result
ed in a saving to tli*. mill inter
ests of the State of something
like $55,000, fertilizer saving by
reduction to agriculture $00,000,
reduction in transportation of
cotton $106,000, reduction in wood
for fuel $051,000, reductions in
brick, starch, lime, building ma
terial $40,000, reductions on arti
cles of merchandise and others it
is fair to estimate $120,000. To
tal $471,000.
Now, this is a conservative es
timate of the amount of money
collected by the railroads less
than they woultl have collected
on the commerce of the Statu for
last year had it not been for the
interference of the Commission.
The Commission has diligently
under difficulties kept up the
gradual improvement of depots
in the State, so that we have
more new and modern structures
in South Carolina than in any
Slate in the South. Since his
term began there are on the
Southern railroad twelve addit
ional trains doing passenger ser
vice and live on the Atlantic
Coast Line. While conditions
can never be entirely satisfacto
ry to all the people, is it not fair!
to Mr. Garritf to say that ho has J
done very well since he feels that
ho has made no demands except
those that ure justified?
During the past year there
have been some serious accidents
which have resulted in the loss
of life, yet it is a fact that there
has been hauled in this State
about a,.r>00,000 passengers and
not a single white passenger
killed. Now, if Mr. Garris, who
is our commissioner, with only
one term of service, could in jus
tice and reason begin without
experience and do this much for
his people, ought he not be re
tained as a matter of business,
and that too in the interest of
all classes, es]>ecial)y the agri
cultural classes?
Mr.' Garris' life has beeb a
struggle for the making of him
self, and his strong, intelligent,
consistent work for tlie people
wo believe will bo rewarded by
his fellow-citizens. #

George Bell Timmerman.
A Hard Man to Beat.
Tlw Monitor.
Mr. George Bell Timmerman, a popular Johnston man now pra
cticing law at Lexington, was in town last Monday. He is a can
didate for Solicitor of this district, and judging from his popular
ity with every one in tdis section, he will be a hard man to beat
in this race. *
Lexington County Has Never Had A Solicitor.
Our N;?ws letter.
Col. Timinerman is the only candidate for Solicitor from Lex
ington County and Lexington has never had the Solicitorship.
He has now been living in our county for nearly four years, and
since he has been here he has devoted his energy aud intellect to
the interest and upbuilding of the county. The Edgefield Adver
tiser says of him.
"Being a yeung man of unimpeachable integrity and well equip
ped intellectually, Mr. Timmerman is rapidly coming to the frout
in his clioseu profession. He would render faithful services should
the jmople choose him to serve them in the capacity of Solicitor."
Lot Lexington stand to her own.
Is Experlenoe> In Solicitor Work.
Hatrsbiirg Advocate.
Lexington claims, and lias a just right to do so, that a Solicitor
be chosen from her county. It is not alone on this ground that
we urge our people to stand by our candidate, Capt. Geo. Bell
Timuiermau, but upon the ground that heisoneofourmost talent
ed sons, well versed in the law. . He has had some experience in
that office, on several occasions filling the place for the present
incumbent, Hon. J. Wm. ThurinOiid, his law partner. We urge
our people to exert their every influence to secure his election
and commend him to all the citizens of the Fifth Judicial Circuit.
Lexington has never had a Solicitor, bear this in mind.
Right Kind of Man to Put In Office.
ltntwburg Advocate. N
Col. George Hell Timmerman, Lexington County's candidate
for Solicitor, in a recent speech, gave this as his conception of
the duties of the office to which he aspires: "The office of Solici
tor is not one of a legislative character, it has nothing to do with
the formation of the laws of our land, but with their enforcement
and administration. It is au office, in tnv humble opinion, that
has more to do with the good conduetof citizenship that any other,
save it be that of a juror. It is the duty of a Solicitor, therefore,
to lend his assistance, in-so-far as law gives him means, to the con
viction of the guilty and the protection of the innocent." That is
a clean out and precise statement of the duties of a Solicitor, and
we believe such ideas will meet the approval of the thoughtful
public. We feel safe in saying, also, that he uot only has the
right ideas about the duties of the office, but the ability and the
determination with which to put them into execution. Col. Tim
merman is the right kind of a man to put in such an office, and.
if rumor can be counted for anything, we predict that he will lead
the first primary by a.large majority.

We beg to announce the name of the

lias served a constituency more zeal
