T promised some of my friends I
would lot them hear from me through
the papers, and jot them kn av why
I withdrew from the race for the
House. 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.

UIC 1VUU
ECHO FROM NORTH STATE
It is the Opinion of Mr. II. D. Gerrald
of Walstanburg, N. 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
