PART TWO; PAGES NINE TO SIXTEEN LAUREN'S, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1910. NUMBER 17 NO OPPOSITION TO JOSEPH T. JOHNSON Likely 'Mint Ith District Congressman Will Have Usual Walk-Over. Zach McQhee, Washington corres pondent of the Columbia state, is writ ing a series ot letters <>n the different congressional races in South Caroli na, and on Saturday attention was giv .jOAi to the Fourth district and its pres ent representative who is a candidate for reelection: So far as I have seen or heard mi body this year will contest the seat in the Fourth district now held by Joseph T. Johnson. Periodically and regularly now for sonic six or eight years several aspiring statesmen have gone about the district about this time of the year and felt about with the idea of running against your Uncle Joseph, but when the gong strikes at 12 o'clock on the last night for m l rii s all is still, and your Uncle Jo seph himself, the nexl morning, skims over the paper with just a litt I" twinge of tear and tr mbliug to see If anything has happened, bul his anxiety Is soon relieved for nothing over happen.. 'Phi- year it Is the same. For several months we have been hearing up her.- rumors of :his Olio and of that one who are golnj! to "shy (In i.- castors Into the lists" whatever the origin of that term, we all know what it means but as the days draw near we hear less and less of it. The lion. "Tobe" Morgan ol Greenville has been n-runntng for congress over since I can remember, and his running mate it the Hon. A. II. Dean, also of Greenville, there twain; but their running is like .lohn Dal/.cll. says Champ Clark's victories arc. al ways before, never afterwards. We ( have heard, too, that the mouth ol 1 John .1. McSwain. also of Greenville, has been watering for the congres sional plum. But all of these, and then some, have decided to wait yet a little while. There's a mail already running, they say. Were Groomed for I'.icc. There was a report around here a few weeks ago to the effect thai both Morgan and Can wore going to run this year, not Indeed with the hop" of beating Johnson they would not do thai if they could bul with t!.< Idea of getting acquainted, of sort o' getting a running start, you know, for the coining race, in the future. The future Is a more or less vague term used to designate that dim. distant period of time when Joseph T. John-j son shall have ceased to navigate the earth. Of course, these Greenville men have doubtless been inspired by their study of history. They read in the books that long before they were born, and some years before the earth it self was formed, the pre-historic progenitor of the Hon. Joseph T. was lying down under the trees in the forest primeval, or swinging by bis tail from the limb <:f a tree in the jungle, ruminating over bis plans for getting into congress. Then on down the centuries, even until a time in the last century, when the tall. L gawky boy from over somewhere on the banks ol" the Saluda river lay about on the grass a! Krskinc college and told the boys how some day he was going to congress, to have the luys laugh :>t him: and still further on till far back yonder in the dim recesses of time when this same boy actually began running for congress, to get overwhelmingly beaten some six or eight times?these Greenville aspirants. I say. have visions of all this. And at times they have an idea, very vague and far away, that pos sibly if they would begin running now they might in their old age get elected. A Shapely District. The Fourth district Comprises Greenville, Spartanburg, Union, and Lauren8 counties. It Is the most coin, pact, most shapely and perhaps most thriving district in the State, take it by and large. It is high up in intelli gence, tip top in public virtue, and Unsurpassed in intelligence, and as busy all the time and everywhere as a bee hive. Geographically this dis trict is Ideal. Bach of the counties is bordered by at least two of the others, and Spartanburg and Laurens are each bordered by every one of the other three. The city of Spartanburg is almost in the very center of the district, and right there the Hon. Johnson has taken up his domicile. Many years ago, after sojourning a sulllcleut time in Lnurons to establish a good working colloction <>f "old homo" associations, tliis descendant ol th<> prehistoric candidate In the primeval jungle, wherever it was. mi grated to Spartanburg, the center oi j this magnificent and easily canvassed district, and there planted, had his Congressional Record change:! to the new address, and proceeded to shake hands. He knew he was prodestlnated ?he's a Prcbbyterian, you know to he a member of congress. Well, he go! there; and he's there yet. And when Gabriel blows his horn and the rucoi'dlug ange! begins to call the roll to see if a quorum is present, it would not surprise in,' at all to hear, when the name of Joseph Trinis Johnson is reached, a deep sepulchral "Mere" from a seal fai down near the speaker's desk in the hall of !!:?> national house of repre sentatives. Then, the next thing we will hear as we meet on the heavenly highways, will be that next time Tobe Morgan and A. II. Dean are going to run. Large Mill Vote There is just one tiling about this Fourth district which comes into my mind as peculiarly significant. There is a larger cotton mill vote in these four counties than in any other dis trict The proportion of manufactur ing population is greater than in any other district and the manufacturing "interests" stronger. South Carolina lends all the Southern stales in Mm manufacture of cotton and the Fourth district leads the State. Here, if any where, the protestion sentiment we hear northerners say is growing so rapidly in the south would be found. It is reasonable to suppose that il anywhere in the south the building up of the manufacturing industry is protect ionising the people there would be some evidence of it in the district Which may be called the leader in manufacturing. How is it? Well, of course. 1 do not know what proportion of those In terested in manufacturing up there are protectionists; but this I know that they vote for Joe Johnson, and of all the uncompromising opponents of protection anywhere he is among the mo t uncompromising, and he does not fail to tell his people so. And I doubt il the t lino is |lk< ly U come in many a year win n any man, of tiny party, will have the nerve to go about the Fourth district of Somii Carolina and advocate- a protective farilT or anything. It is worth noting further that on; of the population of IDT.OS? in the Fourth district, there are 51.21(1 cot ton mill people. A little over 25 per cent, or one-fourth, ol" the people ol the district are dependent wholly upon cotton manufacturing for their living. If every living mother's son among them were a hide-bound protectionist there would still be three-fourths ol the people against them. So. let us have no more of this nonsense about the South's turning protectionist on account of the growth of manufactur ing. And how many of the mill people are protectionists? Well, 1 suppose not more than I or 2 per cent of them know anything worth speaking ol about the subject just as not much more than that proportion of the rest of the people know or seem to care. Rut this I know, that (he cotton mill presidents themselves are not all pro tectionists. HOW TO (TUE RHKUMATISM. If Is an Infernal Disease and Requires an Internal Remedy.

Former Dispensary Director is Charg ed IVltli Receiving Debates from Liquor Houses. Newberry, June 20.- Quite n Hinter was perceptible late Tuesday after noon when Attorney General Lyon appeared in the court room and with Solicitor Cooper handed out an indlet ment against H. H. Evans, charging him witli receiving rebates while he was director of the dispensary. The grand jury brought in a true bill. Mr. Evans Immediately appeared in court and through his counsel. E, S. Ulease, offered bond and asked that a day be set at once for trial. The attorney general suggested that the amount required from other de fendants similiarly charged, was from $10,. to $25,000, and be thought the amount of bond for Mr. Evans should be $10.000. Mr. Hlease urged that this amount was out of ail proportions to the line that would be Imposed even were ih" defendant guilty, and while his cjlenl was among his friend; and was able to give the amount easily, he thought i? Was excessive. Trial at Next Term, Judge Aldrieh admitted the defen dant to bail in the sum of $1.000 which was promptly given au I 10vans smil ingly paid his respects to the attor ney general and to Judge Aldrieh and with apparent satisfaction beam in:: from his ruddy countenance pass ed out among his friends. The counsel for Mr. Evans urged an immediate trial, saying that bis client was ready and anxious for a prompt determination of the case, but upon motion of the attorney general the court continued the case till next term of court. The indictment charges that rebates were received from one M. A. Good man in 1900 and also in 1002 in amounts of $200 and $250. Ten Things to do This Month. (Il Keep the cultivators going.
