BENNETTS YILLE, S. O. WilTcALDWEL?U EDITOR SEND'''THEM Wo agrco with tho JNcws and Courior that tho South Carolina delegation to tho democratic con vention at Denver should go unin structed. In tliis attitude wc be lieve that the News and Courier voices thc sentiment ol' thc vast majority of thc democratic voters of the state. As to who is the most available candidato for nomination at this time it is hard to say. True Bryan seems to have a long lead but what of that? There is a good deal of time between now and the meeting of the convention and we. submit that it would bc foolish for South Carolina to send their delegates instructed for Bryan. Suppose when they arrive on the scene that they sci* that Bryan is not thc best man to nominate? They would have to vote fer him anyway. We would prefer to see them go uninstructed and let the state con vention pass a resolution slating that it is for the delegates to usc their best judgement and vole for the best man whether he lie Bry an, Johnson, (?ray, or Hailey. Don't send them hampered and tied down with instructions. Bryan has defeat written across his face and he has small chances of ever being successful al at thc polls. Johnson has twice been elected Governor ol' a Republican state and has no defeat staring him in the lace. True he is un known but then lhere is such a thing as being known too well and wc believe thal this is the trouble with Bryan. We admire him as a man but are doubtful of bis being thc one for Democratic leader. This country has long enough suf fered defeat because thc southern democrats followed blindly some leader who has no cham e for suc cess. Southerner for wc furnish thc votes and should furnish thc can didates. Let the western and northern democrats follow our bidding a while. Wc have fol lowed thom to defeat oftener enough. Let the delegation go unin structed. LEAVE MUD SLINGING OUT Thc candidates who commence the mud slinging this summer and who are continually knocking and jawing one another should and will be left at home by the voters when the election conies oil'. For merly this paid in South Carolina but that time has passed and our people want a decent and orderly campaign. To get thouroughly disgusted with such a course just notice thc campaign in Georgia between Hoke Smith and doc Brown, Charges and counter charges arc being hurled, .Mud slinging occu pies thc Orttiro time of tin* candi dates and thc press, Hard feel ings are being aroused and appeals arc being made to every form ol' dirt and nicancss in thc race One side charges another w ith one thing and thc oilier comes back with a worse charge; Thc liquor and the race question are being used tor all they arc. worth, Tlc.' campaign is disgraceful. Thus we have tlie spectacle ot' a South ern state with two candidates each claiming to lie democrats bringing in the negro and the dirty liquor, It is simply disgraceful and should not be, tolerated. For several years South Caro lina was torn by dissensions and bitter strife within thc democratic party. (Ult happily this has pass ed and our people wael a quid gentlemanly campaign, issues be ing discussed without appealing to old time prejudice and w ithout all thal Itiud slinging. So gentlemen cut it out for it' you don't you will certainly be left when the votes are counted at tin; primarv .? . liken oric8 thought* lg ' ci* ccurring candidacy of Bryan. ?.?*>?.?

The Brownsville incident was up in ibo Senate, again this week. Thc host thin^ to do with the. dis charged colored soldiers of tin1 25th Infantry would bc io reenlist them Foraker as commander and then ship them to thc Phillipines or Liberia.
