The controversy which was started in these columns a short time ago in regard to the race for Congress ^in the Sixth District, has left the realm of journalism and has been carried by one of the parties upon the stump at three campaign speakings in the county. A* Dog BlulT last Friday, Hon. Jame.-, Norton attacked the editor in his absence and said all manner of ugly things that he would have been afraid to say to his face, and at Socastee on Saturday Mr. Norton jumped upon the editor of this paper, who was present and had the unpleasant duty of answering and reporting to the satisfaction of the paper's friends, the false statements Mr. Norton made. A previous engagement to be at Dog Bluff on Monday prevented us from being at Loris and again successfully combat his false accusations. This attack upon us (so Hon. Jim says) is caused by the statement in an manorial in Just weeks issue tn / the effect that Hon. James Norton . / hadjhad stock in tlie Conway Publishing Company to the amount ol $150 at one time, and that the Hon ry Herald could not be bought for $150 and when the Herald determined to support Mr. Scarborough this money was consequently paid over to Mr Norton and his connection with the company finally severed. !u his attacks upon us at these meetings he did not stop at reading and commenting upon the article in the paper but he went so far as to read to the public a private and confidential letter written by ns to him telling him of the situation and determination not to support him ^ and our offer to buy his stock should ^ he be unwilling to let it remain in the company. Now, we have nothing to say about his comments on the editorial mentioned. A newspaper is public property so far as its contents are oond^^^ HE P i i NOW OPEN AN tdy here and more on the > that me are the people to STKJU, under the manage Ji in ted- with alt grades of T R, Manager. public a private letter and tried t force a false and unreasonab'e enn struetion. he did an act far bcncatl the dignity of the high position, h fills. And lie did it too in the ah so nee of the man who wrote it. II tried to show that the editor of thi ' paper had done an act that was ''un just di. reputable and dishonorable we leave such a statement for tin readers of this paper to condemn a false. Let them say how dishonor able, how disgraceful and low, hov cowardly was the act of which ; high congressman was guilty a Dog Hluffon last Friday. Not. tha we were afraid for the letter to bi read. Wo have never written i more gentlemanly letter to man. 1 contains not a jingle sentence o phrase from beginning to end tha we uru uiruiu io iaec any wnero. hi lnvvo a lotto? within our roach whicl wc might road or publish and cans* Hon. Jus. Norton to repent that h< over resorted to means of that kint to annoy an editor who had endea vored to treat him fair and honora bio. Yes, we do believe that Mr. Nor ton took his stock in the Hkkai.i for the purpose of securing its sup port for him. His acts prove the he did. As soon as he found tha the Hkham) wovdd support Sear borough, he wanted his money ant wanted it bad. He surely did ro take the stock as a business invest meat. He did not take the mono; out because we demanded it. In tin selfsame letter that he has public!; read, we stated that we hoped In would appreciate the situation ant let his stock remain in the com pa ny." Hut have it he would, ant have it he did, thus proving beyont a doubt, that his purpose was as wi have said- Hut we were not fo sale. We Deny It. Sometime since in our reply to ai article in the Mullin's Entorpris over the signature of one "Van Nor ton," who claims 'Horry as iris "no tive and home county," we over looked an important clause whie! makes a serious accusation agains us. The matter has been called t our attention and we hasten to se ourselves straight on this question Van, the private Secretary, allege that we have charged him "with th heinous offense of working for hin self." Now speaking for this paper an its editor we want to say this is mistake. We have never been guil ty of accusing "Van Norton c working for himself'?or of "work ing" for anybody else. if our Editorial contained an language which might be so con strucd we beg to offer due apolog, both to the private Secretary and t our misled readers. Iiy a careft reference to the Editorial in que* tlon we think it will be found tha the phrase "trying to do some busi ness down in Horry" was quoted b, us from an interview which th Secretary has failed to deny as hi own. And as we understood an explained at the time was an asser 1 tion of his expressing the difflcul task he had in "trying" to gai some votes for "Uncle Jim." No, wo hud no intention of accus in# Van of thin crime. It is goner ' ally known down here that he ha always regaided work as a "heinou i offense," and we feel sure that n I person in Horry would be so unfai as to charge him with it. 'Loafing for oneself is much easie and more luxurious than working ' for oneself" says Van. We cheer fully acknowledge him as an author ity on such subjects and take tlii 1 opportunity of congratulating hin on chasing as his profession th< 1 "easier" calling. The Most Reliable Worm Destroy?; in Use. Messrs 1. M. &B. P. Powell, prorn inent merchants in Columbus coun ty, N. O. wrote us in July 1887, tha "Rev. Mr. T. C.

It seems to us that Mr. Ellerbe h lias made a strong ease against Mr. (> Norton. Indeed in the light of ' Norton's conduct in this matter we e are bold enough to say that his noins ination>2 years ago wi s secured by - very; jues'nt n ible me'l.o s Wh'l J-e cannot sav that Norton himself scl> cured those papers, yet it is clear s that he owes his nomination t > them. - As the case is made out we gather v the following facts: Of all the votes i 1 cifst in the (ith District Kllerbe re- j t ceivcd a majority of fill. This ver-1 t diet of the district was reversed by i?; the second Regiment then in Colum 1 i bia. Norton claims that this Regit ment cast Kid votes in t-he Congres- > ' r sional race. Kllerbe claims that J t there were only 132 boys in the regis iment irom the <?t.h District who i were old enough to vote in 1H!?S. a When the contest was heard by the ? Oi.4 . r \ . * ?* - OUIW! 1 'ClllOCI'a 1 1C I'iXlH II1IV0 U'MVl 1 mittce Morton's attorneys int.ro ' duced in evidence before that Com mitteo affidavits which thcv bad just secured from officers and men - then stationed in .laeksonville, Fin. > These papers were produced after - midnight on the night of the contest t Ellcrbe nor his attorneys had seen t th.Mii. Norton's attorneys stated to Committee that in those papers I wore atliduvits from JU1 boys who I swore they were of age, lived in - dtb District and voted in Congresf sional contest also allidavit from a Col. Wylie Jones swearing that the / election was regular, honest and eon3 ducted according to the rules of I the party. Ellerbe secures a copy - of those affidavits and proves that 1 there are names among those signa1 tures of boys'who are under L'l years c of age. that there are names of boys r who live in the 1st congressional district and also several names of boys who live in Sumter county in the 7 th Congressional district, n Norton does not deny this and so we o take it that Ellerbe has proven these - affidavits falsi- and entirely worthless. Nor is this all KUerbo claims - that the paper signed by Col. Wylie I) Jonee is a forgery. In order to t, prove this he makes this proposition 0 to Norton: - That if Norton twill t place that original paper in unttnaVB1 interested man's hands hiWV.llivon i s will pity his expenses to Golumbl^^j 0 let Col. Jones say if it is his sirAnditl ture. To our great surprise Norinoip refuses to (lo this. It does see( Ho tl t] us that if we had in our possel a a paper whose signature was thou>,auri |. to he forged that we would not ref^pc ,f an hour until we had oompletely oxonorated ourselves from this fearful charge. Norton's refusal to give y up this paper under the proposition made by E lorbe certainly looks y queer to us. Wo give these facts as 0 they have been brought, out bofore ,1 the people of this district. .. The people demand clean, honest t, elections between white democrats, j. and we unhesitatingly say that we y believe they will rebuke severely e anything like political trickery. s l\ S.?It may be added that in speaking of Norton's attorneys no reference whatever is had to Hon.

Scarborough aa a candidate for Congress. No < no i. more capable of judging his truo inerit and worth than the officials of his homo n.wl Il> . v.m,ivj I?m lending men of his own town. Mr Scarborough is a thoroughly representative man, always alive to the best interests of his constituents, a successful lawyer in all that the phrase implies, a man so thoroughly capable of making a reputation for himself, and of reflecting credit on the sixth district ; we know ho is worthy of success in the race and we feel assured that he will win. lie is a man of sterling qualities. He is never uncertain and does not need to hesitate on any great question; his astute judgement instantly directs him to the proper oourse. He is a mau who will make himself felt anywhere, and if ho is sent to congress, not his district or his State only, but his nation will know him. Me entered politics not from choice. The people of Horry county, among whom lie has lived sine 1884, recognizing his worth and ability desired his services in the State senate and would not let him rest until he became a candidate. Reformers and conservatives joined *ot 'ces and elected him. and the peo-1 !lu0 of South Carolina know theret ox$ nm"e- *n sending him to lent {Senate this county did the State r. 5vico, for sue called forth from '?Hircment a statesman worthy of the name.

"Whatsoever a man sowoth that shall lie also roan." While the Hon. "Jeems" is familiarly quoting scripture and using biblical illustrations ho might do well to ponder in his mind this passage. True in the physical world; true in the moral and religious sphere, it is likewise true in the political world. Just so s ire as a congressman or a would be congressman in a political campaign sows the seed of misrepresentation, corruption, and slauder he is sure to reap a harvest of condemnation, rebuke anddefcat, The fruit may take several years to ripen, buti true as gospel ho "shall reap" what j he has sown "He yo not dcool /ed." i i Be Not Alarmed.

Our corps of m en can ri c VET I \4 L UE If !/ou a r lis Count t competent graders mho at :hison, Derham the Winner. We regret very much the style ( campaigning pursued by Mr. Brool or, candidate for comptroller again; Mr. Derham. Among gome other unjust charge; he attempts to question Mr. Dei ham's democracy by resuir >ctii g tli politics of "'his ancestry. None bu a ghoulish demagogue would stoo to depths so 'ow. Mr. Derham entire political record is one of true and loyal democrat. He wa barely 21 when elected to office i his native county. Later he wa promoted to the office of audi tot This position he held until his peo'pl forced him higher: electing him Sen tttor. He was for several year County Chairman of the Demoeruti party, and was its ackuowledgei leader. To day he holds the respon sible office of Comptroller Genera jof a Democratic state, twice electes I to this position by a democratic pen I pie. It is upon this record that In rests his claims as a true and trie< democrat and an efficient publi< servant. There seems to be no question a to Mr. Derham succeeding himself. A Hnppy Solution. In his Mullins speech Mr. Scarbor ough offered a very plausible exola nation why the people of that towi hud heretofore supported Mr. Nor ton. "It was" said he "with a de siro to get rid of him." Their at tempt to do so hy sendidg him t< Columbia, as Comptroller General proved futile.?"That eat wouli comeback." Hence their dcterini nation to send him to Washington This scheme was Jikewise a failure? they are still annoyed by the pros once of "Jeems." The Lieut. Governor otters tin following solution as to the disposi tion of Mr. Norton: Elect the pros ent Lieut Governor to Congress and elect Bryan president. In this event he pledges his influence to wards securing Mr. Norton's ap pointment as Minister to Hawaii Gaum or some of the Phillipine Is lauds. ***** In view of Mr. Norton's wel known ability for organizing, ii strikes us as a happy solution o Mr. Norton's case, and the propo sition is one that he should accept at the first opportunity. Mr. Nortoi having voted with the Republicans on the annexation of Hawaii and 01 certain war measures which havi led to the subjugation ot other islands, it is presumed that an ap pointment similar to the one indiea ted would be most congenial to him Credit to Whom Credit Belongs. Following uro some of the claims nuidi by Mr Van Norton. Private Secretary t< uongretsmun Norton.*?"In an humbh uiul obscure way I ain trying to aid in bet terlng the mall facilities' of my people getting post offices whore they are needed arranging mail routes to be of the inos service to my people, and generally a: best I can, in Increasing the elliciency o the public service. I do hereby declare u loud tones that 1 am not working for my se.f nor loafing for myselt, but doing botl for Horry." We do not w'sh to question to quesiioi tho "eflfciehcy" of Van's "service" when engaged in the "luxurious" task of "loaf Iiuy for Hnrrv " lint >t "- i'' 1 - 1 - * " ...0 .J. > nuuiU im II11CI CSl iftg to our readers to know how Van cai accomplish so much and in the manner in dlcnted. Accepting tin truthfulness of hU state ment. the question naturally arises;- \\ this '.lorry Iwiy has done ail that he lays claim to, what has "Uncle Jeems" been doing? It is generally understood thai Mr. .lames Norton is paid the snug sum ol $!\000 u year to look alter just such matters, Since our attention has been directed t< this matter we can recall the fact that at least two new post offl< es have been established in Horry recently. It is currently reported that ont? man has [declared for Norton, giving as his reuson the fact thai Mr. Norton secured for him one ot the said ofllces. Now it has developed that his "faithful" secretary ugS been the sole instrurpeqt iu "getting post ofllces where they are needed?* This fact betnif by the secretary's own statement, ft is pre sinned that the aforesaid Norton man will seek some other grounds more substantial or remunerative upon which to pre diet his, Norton suppott. He probably well remembers the able assistance Van rendered "in Increasing the elllciency of the public service" by causing his defeat for the Legislature several years ago.
