I want to say in the beginning that 1 feel very grateful to the voters in ditTerent parts of the county for the confidence they seem to have in me, and I am confident of my election had I continued in the race. 1 am very sorry eircum stances were such as to hinder my making the race. I am just where I was six years ago. I told the people some things then that sounded like a dream but they have seen long ago that I was right. Some are blinded now to their own interest and nothing but the future will reveal their mistake. ]f things bad not changed I would have continued in the race this time, sacrifice or no sacrifico, but as things now stands I feel sure every voter in the county in cas ing their vote can cast it for a man they like and out of the number that is iu the race we can get two the county will not be ashamed of in the Legislature. Taking this into consideration slIoto/ with the fact that it would be such a sacrifice for me to bo away from my farm next Spring and politics in tho condition they arc now, I thought it best for me to withdraw.. 1 am a man, as all who know mo will agree, who wants to see clean sober Christian gentlemen in all our ollioes. The Book of Books tells us that ''when the wicked rule the people mourn," and we ought to be very careful how wo east our votes, It is deplorable how some people are being fooled, we get our minds set one v/ay and nothing but time will convince us that we aro wrong. It will not do every ti.r.e to pay too much attention to what one candidate says about another but consider the past lives of each and lake the least of the evils. I cion'i think there has been since 187(> such a struggle for righteousness and justice as there is now in South Carolina. Wo have become a laughing stock for the outside world and if we are only going to consider what Jones says about Mease and what Blease says about Jones, neither of them will do to trust. Blea>o says Jones is in favor of social equality with the negro. Junes says Blease voted for him several different times after he, Jones, voted agcinst the Jim Crow Car bill. I think Blease must have found out that kff! es was right in not violating his oath when be, Blease, examined the constitution. Judge Ira Jones says Biease is a graft giver and a graft taken and if wo are to believe our only source of information, the newspapers, backed by the dictagraph, we are obliged to conclude t hat there is something dead up the branch somewhere Now it is not only a privilege but the duty of every man to vote as he pleases but he should not bo led by men who are being paid to get them to vote against their own interests. 1 Oh"! they say," the newspapers are liars, Felder has lied; Burns and his detectives have lied; Junes has lied; everything they say about Bhase is a lie and that he is the smartest man in South Carolina;that lie has more sense than two-thirds of the Representatives and Senators we elected along with Blease; that Blease was right in vetoing those thirty bills passed by the senate, and that the two-thirds were wrong in passing them over him at the next session; that Blease was right in pardoning ail those convicts and in ret using to appoint a special Judge for ilorry, making it.cost the county six or seven hundred dollars; thai Blease has tnoro sense than all the Supreme Court which is exactly what we say if we vote for him in the coming primary. Well, .1 for one, will grant that privilege ot agreeing to all this, if the voters say so, but there is one thing I will not. agreAhat he is right in. There hA been three fish fries at Orices Ferry on the little Pee Dee River and they were called Blease fish fries. They had plenty of beer and liquor there and they called it Bleaseliquor. It was reported that at one time they had a pig stewed in bocxv The fRh was all right and it would not be so bad for them to have a little tea,etc., but it is too bad to use liquor and beer to influence votes. "Oh"! someone will say "that's a mistake, tucy on. ' / / H| Hr I |B / HEART'S EASE. A List of Candidates for Matrimony Issued by Clerk Bryan No 2G4 Issued July 4, to Charlie Ti nwiirt un/1 T.'

C., that the Stock Law Would Ruin Ilorry County How About the Condition of the Stock in Conway Where We Have a Stoek Law? Editor of the Herald: I get the TT raid each Friday at 12 m, and it i? u welcome visitor at my home, f >r I love to read of tho dear ones n home. Oh! how sad ic wan to r?-.d of tho death of Mr Frank Hux, Out the good Lord doeth all things As I have been away from homo [Ilorry] for over a year, T will try to tell you a little about this plaoe. Tuis is a line farming oouuty, mostly hi 11 v. We have good water. The - J ? J farmers have good crop1?. The health of this section is generally good. We have good kindhearted neighbors. We live on Contentnoy creek and we got plenty of shad in the spring and several other kind of fish during the year. There are several railroads near hear. This, Green, county has the stock law. We have very good schools nd churches, except the Missionary Baptist, the nearest one to me is ten miles. Mr Editor, I saw in the Herald of July 25th, an article from Messrs Scarborough and Snip on the stock law. I beg to differ with them. I have tried both and my experieme is that as a matter of economy the fence law is much preferable as 1 have tried both. When I lived in Horry, the Independent Republic, I raised nearly enough hog meat to last me from one fall to the next and if I had any to buy I could get it from my neighbors at from 10 to to 12 1-2 cents. Now I am living in a stock law county and have only two hogs and I paid 10 coots per pound for them on foot, and was iucky to get them at that for they are scarce in this section. Here I have to'buy my moat (Western sides) at a eost of 14 to 18 cents per pound. I cannot get any from my neighbors as they are in the same fix that I am and have to buy also. You can travel the public roads and see the cows sraked out and some of them so poor that it seemed as if h^y could not walk, and others eni v? cmnll lr?t?a n.nrl nnaf.nrr.Q U1WOUU IU OUJUIA AWM VI V w * hlch looks much worse than the Horry razor backs, which, if they are allowed the freo run of the woods as they have in Horry h^w flmrishing they would look. My closest neighbor has a small lot of hogs and he told me they cost him twenty dollars per month to feed fhem, and tbey are no finer than i,be razor back. Mr Snip wrote about keeping his hogs and cows shut up to keep the red bugs and ticks oft' of them and by doing so could keep them on half feed. If Mr Snip will coma over in the stock law aounty, I think he will change his mind, for he can see tie cow's rib bones much further than he can .see a tick or red bug just because they are pooned up. I for oos would rattier have razor bacKs than no backs at all. Now, to the voters of Horry: I am absent but I expect to make Horry my homo in the future and I want to sav don't elect no man to the House who is a stock law man, but cast your vote for better fences as it will be less trouble and expense to keep > nwiMinrl irrtnt? foum tlian lr? up irilV^D UlWUUVi J WMI &UI UA VUMU ?v/ build a pasture.
