Senator Smitl
For the Purpose of Keepi
Correcting Some
(Political Advertisement.) ]
In a pamphlet which has been wide
ly circulated in the state, purporting
to be the speech delivered by Gover
nor Kiease at St. Matthews, on June
17th, I find several statements ?in ref
erence to my position on public mat
ters which I deem It my duty to cor
rect.
(l.)..I WAS NOT A MEMBEIt OF
THE HASKELL ?CONVENTION.
It Is alleged that I was a member
of what is generally knowu as the
"Ilaskell convention," which met in
the city of Columbia on October the
9th, 1890. The convention met on the
niguL of that dnte. I was then living
at Lynchburg, South Carolina. I left
my home, on that day to go to St.
George, South Carolina.'. The only
way that I could reuch St. George was
to pass.through Columbia. I took the
morning train from Lynchburg, and
reached Columbia the forenoon of that
day. I spent the day in Columbia, and
lei; that afternoon about 5 o'clock for
St. George. In suport of this state
ment, I submit herewith the aflidavit
of Mr. C. P. Moorer, a resident or St'.
George, which is as follows:
"Personally appeared c. P. Moorer
before me, C. A. Pendarvis, magis
trate for and in Dorchester county,
South Carolina who bel?g duly sworu
Bays that Ellison D. Smith was in St.
George on the night of the Huskell
Convention. That he, C. P. Moorer.
about nine u. in., on the next day call
ed E. D. Smith's attention to his name
appearing as a delegate from Sumter
county and asked him how - he hap
pened to be in two pluces at once.
(Sighed) . C. P. MOORER.
Sworn to ueforo me this 13th day of
July, A. D., 1914.
(Signed) C. A. Pendarvis,
Magistrate D. C."
I was not a member of this conven
tion nor did i have anything io do
with the Huskell movement. I was
not responsible for the delegates
whose names appeared in the news
papers, as it will be recalled that
these delegates were not eelected by
convention or otherwise, and the con
vention was in tbo nature of a mass
meeting which was attended, by the
people Of the .several counties of the
state, who were sympathizers with
the Haskell movement; ?nd I did not
vote for Judge*. Haskell. This state
ment is made solely because it is true,
and to keep the record straight
In 1896, when all. of the events of
the 90s were fresh in the minds of the
people, I was a candidate for the leg'
islature in Sumter county. The offic
ially recorded vote is as follows: To
tal 1 vote, 2,151, or which I received
1^847. At my home, there were two
clubu; thev Lynchbiirg., StntlgbWut;
total vote 23, of which I received 22;
uid the Lynchburg Reform, total vote
56, of-which I received 25. These two
boxes were at my home, wher.e I and
my record were better known than
anywhere else. However, the rote
throughout the county was in keeping
with these two boxes, both as to re
formers and 8tralghtouts. - -?
I was never a candidate on any "In
dependent ticket".and never a candi
date at all until 1896, when I received
the Yote. above mentioned. Th? pam
phlet referred to in the Interview
quoted on page 9 attempts to convey
the impression fhat I claimed to have
been elected to the legislature In
1890. I made no such claim: Elec
tions are matters of record, and cer
tainly no man with a-grain of sense
would claim to have been elected-to
an office for which he was noi . can
didate, and the duties of which he bad
uevcr assumed.
On page 9 of the pamphlet referred
lo Governor Blease. quotes ;a state
ment from the Columbia State as fol
lows:
"I ran on the regular ticket and
was elected by the largest vote given
any candidate in 'the race, heading the
ticket AT THAT TIME, and'doing the
same two years later, as the records
will show."
Thts Is an attempt to distort facts.
The words "at that time" had refer
ence (to the vote received In 1890, for
the reason that at a later date another
candidate for the legislature received
an even greater vote than I and this,
that "at that time"1 1896 when . I ran .
for* th? legislature; I received the lar- |
pest vot? that any candidate bad ever J
received np to that time. This is such '
a palpable attempt to distort that.it
is self-evident and needs no further
^FAMIL*
OF A
In 1895, a yean before I entered ac- j
tivo politics, ;a constitutional convon- j
lion wu&' called/ il? South ! Carotis?.'j
a
man,>ndW'. ?.en^n^iras, largely re
sponsible for calling this convention
und .was a dominating figure In It.
Section/6, Article '6, page 31, of the
Constitution~ of South Carolina, rati
Sod on December 4th, 1895, reads as
follows: ?!
'. .'.". Section 6. In the case or any
prisoner lawfully In tbo charge, cus

mileage of all material witnesses, both
for the Mate and for the defence, shall
be paid by the state treasurer, in such
manner as may he provided by law:
Provided, In all cases of lynching
when death ensues, the county where
such lynching takes place shall, with
out rcgard>.to the conduct of the offi
cers, be liable in exemplary damages
of not less than two thousand dollars
to the legal representatives of the
pcrersona lynched: Provided, further,
That any county against which a
judgment has been obtained for dam
ages in any case of lynching shall
1 --'o tho right to recover the amount
of said judgment from the partie? en
gaged In said lynching in any court of
competent jurisdiction."
When I w?b sworn in as a member
of the atate legislature from Sumter
county, I -took-tiie following onth:
"I do solemnly swear that 1 will, to
the beBt of my ability* PRE
SERVE, PROTECT and DEFEND the
Constitution of this State and of the
United Slates, * * *co help me God."
I did not introduce in the legisla
ture, the bill to carry out the provis
ions of the'above Boction of the Con
stitution, 1,/wna not a member of the
constitutional convention which wrote
this' provision into the organic law
Of the. state?a fundamental provis
ion which is binding upon the execu
tive, legislative and judicial members
of the state government. I deny em
phatically that the section of the con
stitution above referred to makes any
allusion to negroes whatever.
Now, what are the facts? This is an
attempt only to distort the provisions
of the constitution of the state and
the laws of South Carolina by inject
ing the negro nuostion. which la evi
denced by the fact that Governor
Dleuso as legislator and state senator,
as fur as I can find, did not introduce
o bill Cor tho repeal of this section.
Jo ver nor Blease, so .far as I have
been able to ascertain, in his nearly
tant years as governor,hut; net made
any rccommendntlon to the legisla
ture for the repeal of this section of
the constitution.
Does anyone believe that the Re
formers of 1895, under the leadership
of B. R. TlUman, deliberately wrote
Into' the organic law of this atate a
provision giving to the family of a
negro rapist two thousand ^dollars!
Such'a proposition is hot'onIy absurd,
but an InBult to the intelligence of the
citizenship of South Carolina,
Reference,, to the constitution and
law above referred to shows that it is
left to a Jurj to d??tfe u* t? iE? Ils
bUity of a;':tquhty. / Our juries are
composed of ttult? t?ah wbd" have riot

says in. a letter to the edftor of the
Greenville Piedmont : | ^
"My atentton has been called to a
portion of an editorial printed in your
paper recently with reference to a
bill which passed the seuate curbing
cotton exchanges.
"I wish to say to you that I give full
credit to Senator B. D. Smith for his
Bpiendid werk In behalf of thlB meas
ure: The original bill was Introduced
by him. I had been studying the ques
tion with a great deal of care, and I
aided him ^p. perfecting certain
amendment to the bill, and I support
ed him on the floor of the senate in the
passage of the measure. " 1
"If anyone has given me the lion's j .
share of the credit for the passage of j
this bill through the senate I regret '
It. Too much credit cannot be' given ! t
your own senator (E. D, Smith) for'
this work. If we cun brenk up the
gambling on the New York Cotton Ex
change and the use by that exchange
of the system which has enabled them
to bear the price of cotton, I believe it
will be worth five dollars a bale to the
cotton growers of the south in the
Bale of their rpot cotton.
"I have regarded it as a great priv
ilege to help serve our people in ho
splendid a work.^a work which was
simply intended to breuk up (he in
fumous system that has robbed them
of part of the fruits of their labors,
but I would regret that any friends of
mine should detract from the credit
in any wuy of Senator E. P. Smith in
this matter."

I am asking for re-election (o the

H?ve I been of genuine service? Have

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE
From the best Information we can
:et as to the Congressional race In
his district It appears that John Ai
Norton will be in the second race,
ind Just at this time it is not certain
vbo the other man will be, Alken or
3ominlck. Mr. Horton made a most
avorable ImoreBslon at each of the
lampalgn meeting^ and many people
vere heard to remark "that be is a
;ood clean man that could be trust,
d." Jopn Horton has ho political re.
ord to speak of and that Is considor
.bly In his favor,, but be has a most
emarkablo record In his business ca
eer having made a success in every
indertaking and the people of the
lilrd distrct have deeded that they
rill quit voting for people with "po
lt leal records," as they ' have never
eceived any special benefits from
lie?e records. A great many people
re going to vote for John Horton be
cause he baa been a success in con
tacting hia own business and they
telleve that It la tho best indication
hat. he will attend to the people's
i.uainosB more efficiently than the poll
ician.
Many people In the Third district,!
