THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1000 ENTERPRISE IN HORRY. Tito following is clipped from the Enterprise of Mu'lins, S. C. and ii we arc not sadly mistaken, our observant readers will readily detect in it the ear marks of ;i (men familim* tor of this county: "A gentleman in Horry, who has been about somewhat in the State during the last few weeks, was met by an Entf.hpuisk man a day or so ago. Being interested in matters in that county, trying to do some 'business down there, questions were asked, and our friend gave some interesting informnt ion. ''Horry county is developing rapidly," he said. ''It has grown more in the last few years than in twice the length of time bofore, and com paratively as much as any other county in the State. ''When all our farmers begin to get their share of?well, we'll call it 'prosperity,' though the word is almost too big ? Horry wi 1 be the garden spot of the State, of the South." ************ "You ask about politics in the Independent Republic? Well, ! don't talk polities?not about candidates, any how. But generally, 1 am glad of an opportunity to say this to you. Along with its industrial progress, our county has been coming to the front politically. Thanks to one of your Marion county men, we have had one of our citizens in the most responsible ofliee in the State house for several year and circumstance* unkind to our si *r county here, in taking from "it an eminent citizen. Governor Kllcrbe. gave anothergentlemun, now residing in Horry, the placoof Lieutenant overnor. Hut what 1 wanted specia lv to say, and what I tell my people is that my observations in different parts of this district, shows me very conclusively that she is making a great mistake in crying like the daughters of the horse leach. 'More! more!' Of course the able gentlemen who have assumed political control of ur count, v. usiin/ tin* well-known lor-nl patriotism of our Horry people for their own selfish political purposes could not by me be made to believe that this county is putting itself in opposition to other counties in the district. 1 do not mean in this campaign, particularly, though too many meu running from Horry may liaye such a tendency. What I mean is that after this campaign Horry is done, if she don't mind. The odds are against her winning everything; so much so, that for ho to risk political isolation for a period of years by taking such odds, shows a lack of judgment; or it may show that the coterie of able gentlemen in Conway who run politics in this county, are using an able but impolitic young gentleman to lineup the voters, who seemed somewhat tired of them, to vote them into the county offices again. It has been a mystery to me why the Lieutenant Governor has lent himself to the local politicians for such a purpose. That he has done so, the late circular issued and signed, peculiarly and particularly by the parties interested very conclusively shows. It seems to be JL V imim) t/'lwimn In r* v v 'J hvx'* wv,,x '"V VI# ^ l*T/ VIMcounty several of the same old offices or new officers the same old officers picked out; and it leaves the able, but impolitic young lawyer, Mr. Sear! orougb, to hold the bag." The author of this interview ^ias become somewhat modest of late, having been accustomed to signiW&a o. n." to epistles of thi,si^|^G? nHraBgB His comments as to. .11 orr .,. j(jgggjm will bo the garden spot of Sout'o Carolina" ll is however puzzling to know the extent this "gentleman in Horry" is "interested in matters in that county:" And further, what he has done to assist in bringing about this progrossaf w h'c 1 ho speaks so glowingly. "Trying to do some work down there" says he. "Trying" indeed! Pretty well put! Tryintr 1i? tin uiiiiii vi'Di'I; in I lii> iv:iv i.l accomplishing the reelection of "Uncle Jim" ami thus hold his job a> private secretary. This is all the I business interest that anyone happens to know of this young man possessing down here just now. It is further well known that this expert campaigner is now receiving poor encouragement for his labors and the indications are that the dividends on his investments here about will scarcely amount to running expenses. This spokesman for Horry's in terests further exhibits his modesty in reluctantly entering Into a political conversation. "I don't talk polities not about candidates any how:" This is refreshing news indeed. Those who are intimately acquainted with the dutiful secretary can scaieely rcmenibor ever hearing him talk of matters other than -politics and candidates. His former friends soem to regard tliisas a hopeful sign that he is gradually "weaning o!T from politics, hoping to thus avoid the sudden shook on losing his job next March. So much for the gentleman who was forced by the enterprising news paper man 10 give the above interview, Now as to some of his statements .ind inferences therefrom. First, he would have us believe that the everlasting thanks of Horry were due to the Hon. ''Jeems Norteen" for the fact that we have had in the person of Hon. J. P. Derham. a representative in the state administration for several years. And as a reward for Mr. Durham's fitness for the office and his ability to retain it, we are asked to present Mr. Nor ton with a life-term certificate as a I representative in congress. While Horry would not be ungrateful to Marion or any of her sons for favors shown her in the past, or for assistance ill tllO flltlll'o nc ti ..f ...x. i?o (I 1IIUVICI ui fact tlu> people of our County have always danced to Marion's tune, for which we are sure she ought to feel grateful. It is a truth well established that every stop in the political advancement of Mr. James Norton, since he left local polities, can be traced di rectl.\ or indirectly to Horry's votes and influence. Away back in the upheaval ot 1890 when the race for Comptroller General in the State Convention was close between Mr W, 11. Ellerbe of Marion and Gen. Stokes of Colleton, Horry with her votes and influence held the balance of power, this power she of course wielded in behalf of Ellerbe and thus nominated him. In turn Mr. Ellerbe appointed Mr. Norton his chief Clerk. It is thus seen that Mr,. Norton was the beneficiary of Horry's loyalty to a Marion man. This position he held for four years. Let us have a little more history along this line. Again, in the convention of '94 Mr. Norton was a candidate for Comptroler, llorry had her candidate, Mr. Derham, for the same office. Abbeville county likewise had her favorite son. It soon developed that each of the three candidates had about an equal following, neither having a majority and accordingly causing a deadlock. Horrv a rail! hnlrl fbn tlie situation. Ever loyal to the interest of her sister county Horry once more came to the rescue and the solid Derham vote was cast for Norton, nominating him by a handsome majority. And yet wo arc asked to pull otV our hats and "thank' (this Marion man for the honor we had in promoting him, and also to perpetuate him in Congress simply because he was grateful enough to appoint as his chief Clerk the man who virtually made him omptroler, Again, in '07 owing to the untimely death of Senator Earlo and the iinnrtinfiiiont r\f - ? - v",v " v V/i Vl/II^IU09lliail I'll/'* Laurie to this office thereby creating a vacancy in this district, Mr. Norton at once became a candidate The friends of Mr. Dorham in this county, regardless of former factions, saw in the promotion of Mr. Norton to Congress an opening for Mr. Derham to succeed to the comptrolcr's office. With an eye-single to this they left nothing unturned that would work to the interest of Mr. Norton. Among the strongest friends of Mr. Derham was the Hon. R. B. Scarborough who accordingly supported Norton, and was largely instrumental in carrying the county for him. As a result Mr. Norton was elected. Mr. Derham however failed to receive the appointment from Mr. Norton's friend, the Gov. as was confidently promised iuhI exthe his 1 to 1 ' ,?m * >" - ?.?>. , ? - ? - - j ^ot .

There are few people who doubt I) ?t '"that Mr. Scarborough could have boon easily elected had he consented to run. lie chose otherwise and Mr. Norton was re-elected. It was thus for the fourth time Mr. James Norton was placed in an ollicc of hi?;h trust by the votes and influence of our people. Such is our history In connection with the Hon. "Jooins.'' l?or .o! these many years we have heard no complaint of our action in the matter. It is only when Horry has a candidate with a record and the ability requisite for winning from the present incumbent that we hear the howl ofjllorry's making a mb; take by crying more, more ' when in reality she has never had a hite lit 1 ai me pium Mr. Scarborough anil his friends regard it as a matter of pride that he has the united support of the eoun ty ofllcials and the people at largo. We are left to learn from the 1 lorry (?) correspondent of the Mullins Enterprise that to receive such endorsement is "impolitic" and will eventually result in leaving "Mr. Searborough to hold the bag' the Con gressional bag with its contents, we predict. Was It A Miracle? "The marvelous cure of Mrs. Uona J. Stout of Consumption has created intense excitement in Camniaek, Ind." writes Marion Stuart, a leading druggist of Muncie, Ind.
