It is but once in a century that Horry is allowed representation in our state, administration. It is but once in four hundred years that she lias the opportunity of furnishing a congressman. Up to within a decade Horry has never had a son to aspire to State honors. In 1807 she had a worthy son who was ripe for the position of Comptroller General. At the same time we had another gifted son who had won distinction in the halls of the State Senate. | When the Governor had ignored the claims of Ilorry's man and the legislature was called upon to vindicate him in his appointment of an up country man it was then that the gifted Scarborough came to the rescue and with his matchless ora tory snatched victory from defeat? and Derham was elected Comptrol- i ler. < ; To-day this gifted son olTers him- 1 self as your representative in Con- 1 gross and his friend Derham asks 1 you to be loyal to your own intcy 1 lj and stand by Scarhovn* other nlteourX ,1 \ MfBr / H E PI r NOW OPEN AN fUj here and more on the u that ire are the people to I \TEJd, under the manage!

We hear the echo resound throughout this little Republic?4 stand by Scarborough and Durham. Spot the Man. We understand that one of the candidates for congress freely boasts of the fact that he uses money in elections, This seems almost incredible and were it not substantiated by such a large number of people, and in fact admitted by said candidate on the stump, we could scarcely be made to believe that any aspirant for so high an office in South Carolina should openly advocate and practice such methods in a white Democratic primary. We oan conceive of circumstances under which an enthusiastic supporter might be tempted and induced to spend some cash in order to win. Wore a man's life at stake; were his sacred rights put in jeopardy; were even white supremacy involved, or wore we battling against a foreign element in our ranks, we might find a reason, if not an excuse. for this practice of using lllthy lucre in elections. We can conceive ol circumstances where a violent mob may bo led to commit the atrocious crime of lynching. We can even conceive of a man becoming so enraged as to take the life of a fellow being. Hut when a man in his cool, calm moments openly and brazenly stands up to argue that either is "legitimate" or right it is well to question that man's motives or his sanity. We of the "Independent Republic" have always been taught that the practice of vising money in elections with a view tc control votes was a crime equal it degree to that of forgery, bribery | or porjury. We associated tin crime only with that of Republican ism North or Radicalism South It is left for this new school of Rem ocratic statesmen to introduce nee rules of etiquette, and establish i ditTercnt code of morals, when vol ing in a white man's primary. This crime, which we might tern "boughtry," is indeed becoming i rnro em?uvno amo ? o n/\llt ,? f v>? y QV 1 i? -MO X'iiv; ill and if continued in. will eventually underm\no our system of republicai government. The ultimate outcome of this pernicious practice means the total exclusion from public offict of men with moderate means. Th< honest man with brains and intel lect will stand for naught unless he has the purse to back him* Let the voters of this district spol the candidate who openly argues that the "principle is legitimate' and then secretly puts the scheme into operation ; vote for the mat who you know would scorn sucl methods, and refuso *o hold an offlct purchased in this manner.

The fact that such literature should be sent out at a time when it was too late to be answered by the party attacked, is of itself sullicicnt evidence that they contain matter which is false and of a slanderous nature.

There is the proper place to make such charges as he has against the political or private record of the man whom he seeks to defeat. This the honest, brave gentleman will do, and it is only the sneak and coward who will resort to tricks that are dirty and ways that are mean to besmirch the character of his opponent and thus himself profit by it. Our people have not forgotten tire campaign of two years ago when almost everyone?the strong friends of each candidate -were tlior ^ oughly disgusted with the methods then practiced. The great outcry was for "a third man to boat the m both. Ill tllft nrosonl nlnr>fi/?n irn lnii'A ?1..^ r - v, .....V- V..V. "man to bc.it them both." a man who has conducted ihis campaign on a high plane; has not resorted to i unfair moans; has not unjustly criticised his opponents; does not run on tho demerits of any one but stands on his merits as a man and a public servant. The written endorsement of his home people and the strong support accorded him by his immediate townsmen are sufllcient answers to any reports or rumors that may bo i circulated by any hired tools or political henchmen. > We again be# to caution our readers to beware of any such practice in this campaign. Let us condemn wrong doing by voting out of office . the man who would stoop to use i such unfair means. ' The Enterprise says that the present 1 editor of this paper charges former > editor McDermott with being bribed, ) etc. The Kntorprise is wrong hero 1 as it generally is on every thing. We ' have made no charges against Mr. 5 McDermott. We have no fear of the defeat of f either Scarborough or Derham, t both wiU likely be elected in the lirst primary. Hut we want to be in a position, when the votes are j counted, to forward the message to r headquarters;?"Horry unanimous for Scarborough and Derham." Is , that the sentiment of every true j Horryite? Then come out to the , polls on the 28th and vote your son, timents. I \ i Yemen of Horry! Do your duty - on the 28th. Go to the polls and ? vote for the men who have given your county political prominence and won for you a reputation?Derham and Scarborough. i , Derham Distinctly Defended. i At the County campaign meeting j held at Hayboro on lust Friday, the assemblage resolved itself into a mass-meeting at which Mr. D. A ojuvu.y was present anu read the slanderous circular of N. W. Hrooker against Hon. J. P. Derham, r severely commenting upon same. Denunciatory speeches were made by Hons. Jeremiah Smith, Jere Mis hoe, H. II. Woodward, Mess. J. M. * Oliver, J, O. Norton and numerous others. The following statement ] was issued and signed by every county official and all the candidates J for county offices (29 in all) and was likewise passed by a unanimous vote of scvoral hundred citizens present voicing the sentiment of Horry at largo. We the citizens of Horry county in mass-meetingassombled have been 1 shown a circular signod by one N. W. Hrooker and being broadcasted throughout .the State in which he 83verelj' attacks our worthy comptroller General, the Hon. Jno. P. TA L. ? - ?I- 1 ' m ' * iviM-iiiuiL, usaaiis ins omciai record and questions his democracy. We wish to hereby denounce the statements of said circular as vile slanders upon tho name of an honorable man and an efficient officer. The charge that Mr. J. P: Dei ham was allied with the "negro against the white people in tho dark days is an infamous falsehood ?without the least semblance of truth. Mr. Derham in the days of '7fi was a mere boy of 15 years and consequently had absolutely no part in this oampaign save to wear the red shirt, coadem Republican methods, and hurruh for Hampton. Horry coun tv has never but once in her history elected to office other tlmn a true L Mv ; SB! , s I ? ! r .r ' I I Hfir ES w SOUTH C HANDLE ALL T >r ail grades of bright leaf at they GET FULL MAlil Jlen, oft! loyed for us a great many & MURC ami loyal democrat. This sentiment even in the ''dark days" proceeding '7?> prohibited the appointment of worthless and incompetent Republicans to fill our offices. While Mr. Jos. H. Derham (father of comptrol lor) hold at one time an Appointment as Treasurer of this county under a Republican administration, it, was gene ally regarded as fortunate that we had the services of an honest man and good official. He made an excellent officer and turned over a clean sheet on his retiring. Mr. J. I\ Derham was but 2?"> years of age when in lHHfi he was elected school commissioner of this county, and this position he held until he was nominated and appointed Auditor in 1888. Ir. '92 he was promoted to the office of Senator, in which position ho gained dlstinc tion and made numerous frionds In '94 he was appointed Chief Clerk in the Comp. Gen. office under Hon. .Tames Norton. In '1)7 ho was oloct ed by the Legislature to succeed Mr. Norton as comptroller Again in '98 he was rooleoted hv th? rv.vpi?i to tho offioo which ho now holds. Ho was also an active member of tho Constitutional Convention of 1895. For six years he was chairman of tiie Democratic party of this county, and was its recognized leador. To all theso positions of honor and trust he was elovatod by the votes of a democratic peoplo. Until this notorious slanderer, Brooker desired the office now so deservingly held by Mr. Derham, no one has ever been known to question his loyalty to the Democratic party or to the white people who have so often honored him. The charges of this man Brooker, displayed under the sacred Masonic emblom, against Mr. Derham's offi cial record not only alTects Mr. Durham. but are reckless chargos against every officer in every county of tho state, who is in any way connected with the tax department. Said charges are sufficiently refuted by the good character of these officials. We regard these accusations also as a reflection upon tiie good judgement of the people throughout the state, who havo elevated tliose worthy officials to the positions they now hold. We feel sure that these insinuations will be resented and the style of campaigning inaugurated by this political sore-head will be severely condemned at the polls on the 28th. Wo take pleasure in endorsing Mr- Dcrhams official conduct, vouching for his political record, and commending him to tho poople of tho state as a high-tonod honorable gentleman and ono worthy tho support of all good Democrats.
