Elliott's Record. pf The following is condeiiHetl and th extracted front a letter in the th Ram well Sentinel, signed Demo ar crat: he Among the candidates lor the co United States senate there is no j one who had such high claims ^ upon the State as Col. William Elliott. His career began with the war, and he was never absent ^ but. once from his post, ana then W] because incapacitated from duty. j In 1884 he was chosen as the Democratic candidate for congress = at in the "Black District" to redeem -n the lower section of the State ^ from negro rule, and after 18 ij{ years of constant fighting ij^'had redeemed it. During his service in congress he had fought per- re sistently to get for his district and State a fair share of pulic appropriations, and the money ' he has brought'to his district from , ru the national treasure amounts to 80 many millions of dollars; and all of it for purposes most beneficial to the people. lie was appointed at the opening of the war on Gov. Pickens' staff, g and worked on the fortificatiou . o^n the coast, took part in the ^ attack on Fort Sumter, and en61 ( tered with the Iron Clad battery ^ the night of the capture. Joined Kershaw's regiment, with the Brook guards, as lieutenant, and ^ took part in the First Battle of Manassas, the campaign on the peninsu'.ar Seven Days Fight, ^ Second Manassas, and Sliarpsburg 'iM and was made captain and sent as assistant adjutant general to Gen. Stephen D. Lee of South Carolina; was iu Vicksburg during the seige, al in life battle of Barker's ('reek, (li and was promoted major lor gal lantrv; was assistant adjutant pener* of the department of A!n-Pn batna, Mississippi and East Louisiana; was in the battle of Harris- ne burp 28tb July and Jonesboro fr< around Atlanta Went with tei Hood into Tennessee, and u as in pc the fight at Florence, Ala., and ex iu battle of Franklin and Nash | i vil'o Was transferred to North Carolina and was the battles p of Kiuson and Bentonville.

Elliott to was county chairman ot Bonufot th county. In 1884 it became nec- la essary to make a tipbt in tlio Sev- IV enth congressional dintiict against HI the negoes. The Democratic can- ai didate had to bo popular, fearless nt and a constant fighter. William j ri1 Elliott was chosen, made a most aggressive campaign, but was de-jto foaled.

Then inted arguments, compiled from ? 1 AAA ' ispite 1G years of contested actions, what Colonel Elliott ,s accomplished for his district d State equals the work of any ember of congress in the United ates.

Colonel Elliott won the ntest. Tom then to the present time he is had the following fights with igro candidates, in each instance contested election following e election: In 1888 and 1890 ith Tom tiller, in the tier case M ?ler was seated by eed's congress; in 1894, 189G id 1898 with George W.

If Colonel Elliott is sent to th senate the State of South Can lina will have a senator whoe life is without a blemish, who* political record of 25 odd yeai is unspotted, whose service i war was long and conspicuou and, above all, a seasoned an well-trained legislator, whos< accumulated experience of 1 years in congress will be an asse to the State which it wouid taki years for a new man to acquire.
