OUR CHOICE
t
Scarborough for Congress.
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

stand pledged to assist in his clco
tion. What tshall the voters of
1 lorry do? 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

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.

heretofore been the custom of those
would be statemen to Rend out on
the eve of tho primary election cir
culurs containing false charges and
insinuations against his opponent.
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. The voters are cautioned

nominees. Under its rules each
candidate has the opportunity of
going before the people and meet
his opponent face to face on the
stump. 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

, 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

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

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.
