To Communication of Dr. Wm. Ander
son In Last Issue.
Blacksburg, S. C., July 24, 1905.
Editor Ledger:—Permit me through
your paper to reply to a communication
of Wm. Anderson.
The purpose of circulating the peti
tion referred to in his communication
was to get the people in the York side
of the county to endorse one man as a
candidate to fill out the unexpired term
of Hon. W. D. Kirby for the legislature,
and it was thought that if this en
dorsement was practically unanimous
that other parts of the county would
support the man thus endorsed and.we
would be given representation one time
in the law making department of the
government. This was the object
nothing more or less.
Mr. Anderson states: “—petition is
in circulation asking the executive
committee of the Democratic party of
this county to nominate Mr. N. W.
Hardin for the legislature.”
U P 1 will state that this is untrue; first.

It’s a little better than
anythiiM^we have seen
because the petition does not so state,
and second, because every person who
signed the petition had intelligence
'■nough to know that this could not
be done The executive committee is
not now and never has been invested
w ith such power.
He further states. “That signatures
have been obtained to said Qptitidn
upon the represntation that there was
no other candidate for said office.”
This is untrue, because I am satis
fied no such statement was made, and
again, because the signers to said pe
tition. which are hereinhelow partly
given, are intelligent men, and . mean
what they say and they know that
such a statment, “—no other candidate
for 1 lie office,” would be untrue, as no
one knows who will be a candidate for
the office.
The whole tenor of the communica
tion seems to cast a reflection upon
the honesty of those who presented the
petition, and upon the honesty and in
telligence of the signers thereto.
I submit here the petition and the
signers thereto, and Mr. Anderson
knows full well that there is not a
more honorable and intelligent lot of
men in the State, and any one should
he proud of their endorsement, wheth
er elected or defeated.
Yours respectfully

Dear Sir:—Your letter of June 18th
came to me at Yorkville in my absence

that some years ago for the widow of
Wm. S. Lipscomb, who kept a hotel at
Gaffney, I looked up the matter and
ascertained that his grandfather, or
great-grandfather, was t n the Revolu
tionary war from Virginia. However,
I will write and obtain the information
for you and write later.
With kind regards and hoping to
hear from you at any time that I can
be of service, I am,
Yours truly.
