A. Morgan for Congress The entry of the Honorable B. A [organ, of Greenville, as a candidatA or congress from the Fourth Soutt arolina district is an encouraging sgi f the revival of pioper interest in th olitical affairs of our country, becaus( men of his character and attainment, tave been slow to yield to the popula1 rill. Able men have found, and yet find ore of personal compensation in thi eaceful pursuits of private life, and art >ath to make the sacrifice which in olves time and large expense, as wel s severe drains on the health and com rt of the individual candidate. It is, therefore, a matter upon whicl he Fourth South Carolina district ma: )e con tulated that Mr. Morgan ha! ecid to respond to the call which ha. oeen voiced from every section of hi. arge and-influential district and to offe is services in the national congress h ehalf of the people of his state, an< nore especially as the direct represen ative of the most important district -ii outh Carolina. Mr. Morgan is a man of broad min< and unyielding integrity. His experience as the representativ4 of Greenville county in the South Caro na house of representatives demon trated his capacity for leadership, fo: here he was the recognized leader o: he house, where his vitality of thought is forces of personality-and recognzei onesty of purpose and his ability as i ebater naturally made him the fore ost spokesman m every cause he es oused. And he always fought man ly and eloquently for the things h onceived to be right and for the bes nterests of the people; he was alway n the side of right, and never suffere ere expedient to influence him in leg slation calculated to affect the who eople. The people of Pickens county ar specially interested in Mr. Morgan' innonneement. He was born and reare a Pickens county, at Dacusville. Hi rather was one of the staunch citizen f the county, whose services in th4 eorganization of the county in its re ormation, after the memorable yea: 76, are well remembered by the olde: itizens. B. A. Morgan (Tobe, as he is her amiliarly known) attended school nea: is home till nearly grown, when th4 ommunity was fortunate enough t ave a school; and then he entered th edmont Institnte at Pickens, conduct d by the late Prof. Win. M. McCaslai nd the late Dr. John R. Riley. Aftei is completion of the courses at tha1 nstitution he commenced the study o: aw under the late firm of Wells anc r at Greenville, and in 1 .8 mitted to the practice. as enJoy nd still eo ful law pr SanMe and in Pickens-coun n by his proper conduct, has wont esteem of his brother practitioners a the public. The Sentinel joins his friends throug out the Fourth district and the state wishing for him an overwhelming el( tion, which would mean that the Four district would be represented by t eqalof any man on the floor of tb large and able legislative body.
