Some Interesting l'iMtta Aboul (ho t?ou groMiloiiul Conten? in tho lillie!? District llow Smalls WIM Deuten. (Stii-ihope Sims in tim Augusta Clin n'c'e ) A few ilaya ugo I lind tko pleasure of inciting Janies Singleton, ono of the colored uiembors from liorkoley county in the Legislature of 1882--and an in teresting and poworful factor in tho re cent contest in tho Sovonth district be t cn Col. William Elliott und Robert SIHHIIK. That Horco political mee is fresh in tho recollection of all, und it will lu- remembered that Colonel Elliot! entered tho Hold against his expressed inclination, and yielded his pleasure and judgment to tho wishes of his party, Tho Seventh district billi been a Uepllb liean stronghold since tho days of fed oral occupation, anti in 1882 hail sent a , Republican, 13. W. M. Mackey, to Con gres:; by un overwhelming majority, i Mackey died in 188.1, and Uohort Smalls ll colored Republican, Was elected to lill tho unexpired terni. In 1881 Smalls was returned to Congress, defeating Colouel Wm. Elliott, thc nominee of tho Demo crats, lu this election tin- Republican majority had been considerably dimin ished, i ut not enough to alford any hope for the Democrats in the next election. lt was under auch adverso circum stance i, .md in the teeth of despair, that Colonel Elliott was toudorcd tho Domo iTiitio ic initiation ill 1880. He had no Ic.-irc fora second sacrifico, but yielded to tho solicitai ion of ids party, who be lieved lum tho only man in the district that could lead the "forlorn hope." His victo; . is well known, anti to that victo ry no one contributed more than .James Singh! ?i, of St. Stephen's parish,; llerkeley county. Singleton favored nie with a short1 do Ich of his own political career. Ucl1 received no furber education than n ' nit f course at a country school, amii1 what he has achioved has been due toil heir force of character, aided of course, i1 >y tho peculiar powor held by the Ito- ' millican party in his county. In iss-j si M io represented llerkeley county in tho M Stale Legislature, His colleagues wore ll Vuderson Singlotou, W. W. la cket, C. M \. I ?avenel and W. d. Pincknoy all col-M .red num. I i It was in this Legislature that Piuok-M icy made himself famous hy voting for j limself as United States Senator. Whim | ' ds narnu was readied, in course of tho M 'lection, he called out, "I vote for Wil- ' iain C. Pincknoy." Pinokney's vote p ins the only one cast for himself, undi* icu. M. C.' I'.ut lt r was elected. Since 1888 Singleton has not boen in p .oldies himself, though al ovory ctcction 1 10 has worked for his party, except in J he diction in i888, when he joined ' orces with the Democrats and insured ' lie election of Colonel Elliott. ile is r till without the ari na, but the bee has ! mt entirely ceased to bu/./, in his bon-18 ict. There is no eertainty o? l is eon- s inilCtl allegiance to the Democrats, us i ii-, di feet imi was rather because of tho D' .bossism" of Smalls than from any con- 1 ersinn to Democratic principles. There | ? s no doubt, however, that his alliance;' ron the victory of Xi, and the party 1 i\ves him its gratitude and a purl in ?ts :I riuniphs. ?t After meeting Singleton I inquired If no? in's work tor tin? Democrats Insti lar. Wliat he helped to HCC'lIiplish lay be appreciated liv noting the change ; 11 the votes of Berkeley, and especially I ii St. Stephen'H Parish, where Singleton id Iiis best work. In 188.1 tliis Parisli d ave .Mackey about Inn votes against ?tl U or K. Sam'Lee. In Issi Smalls re-?a oived in thc sanie Parisli a large major- rt ly over Colonel Elliott. In 1880, Colo- e ol Elliott received 101 votes in the; s nine Parish against I? for Smalls; Hms n mic than reversing the Uopilblioan nm- i ?lily of 1882 ami 1881. ri lt .. is been claimed that tliis enormous ?' iniority was obtained through fraud. 1 I1 ill not now dise?as this charge, bul li ortainly there was widespread defection s< I tlio ranks of till Iii publicans in thc d CVeilth district. Tho strength of that ti arly, indeed the life id' Ibo pill ty, and h le- party itself, was in the colored ll otcrs. Smalls was a colored ropresonta- p ive, ami they looked at lum as friend > n i places where he eoultl benefit bis own c ice. This, tiny claimed, he nlwitvs t tiled to th?, ?ind represented his con- k lituonts only in -olor. j h In thc winds of one of the di.-nHecb'd, a malls "had grown too heavy for the I arty to carry," ami tin- party "bad to n rup him." On one occasion, speaking 0 . a voter who was working against him, |l imiills is said to have exclaimed: " Thc ' 1 .an dog can't stand by tim fat dog," | K nd struck his hand on Iiis pocket for c mpliasis. Such u representativo mustie t- dofeatctl, und ho went down beneath \ k lie weight of indignation his actions t nd his u glee! had brought upon him. v t is said that Smalls helped to dofcat V imsolf by his candid recognition of thc g robity and honor of Colonel Elliott, a niall announced from tho stump that h 'olonol Elliott was in every way titted si . r the place, and that his own (Smalls') ii .gul representative in Beaufort, What- t Vol may be tho result of tho contest h vcr thc seat in Congress, it appears b vident that outside of fraud practiced ?I y either party, Colonel Elliott beat malls by just und linpuroboscd votes.
