POLITICAL DOPE IN THE PIEDMONT Humor-, tliut John M. Cannon, Esq., will Run for Congress. Col. Babb Often Mentioned in tdjiitnnl's Ituee. A Bpeclal to The Columbia Record written by W. P. Hoard, a one-time "Bull .Moose" from Reldvlllo, Spartan burg county, might be Interesting as bearing on polities In this section: "Roidsyille, S. C.. Nov. 14.?Up here in the Fourth Congressional district, politics is warming up and the air is full of rumors ami counter rumors. "it is often heard In this district that Mr. Cannon, a prominent attorney of LaurenBi Will very probably bo a candidate for congress to represent the Fourth district. Many of his friends speak highly of Mr. Cannon and say that "there is no doubt but what he can he elected if he will make the race." "it is pointed out that Mr. Cannon is a very brainy and substantial law yer and a man of good character, and was one of Governor Bleaao's chosen friends to represent him last year during the election contest when staunch and true friends as well as able lawyers wore needed. Mr. Can non, so it is said, is also a member of tho Govornor's staff. "I have not been able to Interview Mr. Cannon on this yet, and cannot confirm these roports, so taking it on the theory that "where there is so much smoke there must be some ? fire" send It in for what it is worth. 1 However, from what could he gath ered thero is no doubt but what if Mr. Cannon decides to run his many friends in both factions (for he seems to he well liked in both) will make him a very formidable opponent. "One often hears mention of Col. O. W. Btlbb also in connection with tiie adjutant's office, and up this way it seems to lie taken for granted that Col. Rabb will he in the race with out doubt to succeed Adjutant and In spector General Moore. At present. Col. Babb Is t;ie only man, known to he a Hlease man, that is being considered by the people, but there is yet plenty of time for others, and we don't know what a day may bring forth. There is also some talk here and there of a man entering the lists against Attorney Genoral I'ee ples. Hut all that can be learned about this rumor Is that a strong up country lawyer. who is a staunch Blenso man. is seriously considering entering the race next year. Another elusive rumor, not vet ri .1 down, is to the effect that a "dark horse is tied out in the woods" to en ter the senatorial race next year. It is claimed by some that It is going lo be easy to beat Hlease next year. These knowing ones point out that "?lie extreme and inconsiderate ele ment in both the Hlease" and McLau rin camps in tholr haste to 'get next' if not stopped soon will cause a se rious rupture between these two men. and they they will eat each other up. While Tillmnn'8 attack on both Hlease and McLaurln will utterly destroy Elmith, leaving the road open to a good strong, conservative man." They claim that such a man is in view and is only waiting to see bow the pres ent controversies will turn out. There is a persistent rumor up this way also that several of the various candidates for governor have what Is termed in Europe an "entente cordlalo." With sonic prominent Blcasolte candidates promising mutual support on the grapevine route order. In fact, it is stated that a prominent Bloaso man in Spnrtiinblirg, presumably a candi date, though this is not definite, re cently, upon his return from Colum bia, expressed a desire to see the Vpcoplo get together" and said he would help "heal the breach." That looks like the "lion and lamb will lie down In peace." The friends of Congressman John son lire also very active and appear to he very sanguine that he will win next year. It seems that they also have reason to expect assistance from the various gubernatorial can didates sub rosa, and likewise will render aid to them. There is talk also of a prominent Greonvlllo politician coming out at the last moment as a compromise candidate, not having mixed In the campaign at nil last year, though it is believed that he voted for Hlease. "Till * such a man. not opposi?g the govenor'a candidacy for the senate, and otherwise popular among the working people and equally accept able lo the antl's. will be a dangerous Opponent there is no manner of doubt. Things arc beginning to move up In this Piedmont section and when they do start they are likely to make the "wheels go round." "The political procession Is so ka leidoscopic in Its vai >UB aspects just now . the. rumor of today Is quite like ly to be the fact of tomorrow. And the fact of today Is likely to be the Iridescent dream of yesterday and a week back or beyond Is either an cient history or the "dim and distant future." However, the friends of nearly all the candidates for governor are taking much comfort from Sena tor Tlllman's letter. They say that last year Governor Hlease so Im pressed his followers with the sin of "ilaskclltsm and so many old-line 'Reformers' are in his faction that a l man who did not support the TUlman ticket at the general election In 1890 can never get very much of the "Hlease Vote" now. While on the other hand a 'Haskellito' who has gone over to the TUlman and Hlease factions Blnce, Is looked upon as a traitor and can expect no help from the old-line ^conservatives. I? looks at present as though the whole po litical proposition next vear will he i gviic-i'a! Imixup '??iu tree for a" flwht That every candidate for whatever of fice is to be an Ishmaelite with his 'hand against every man and every man's hand against him.' A great many people are enquiring for the whereabouts of Professor .lohn ('Ink scales and R. A. Cooper, erstwhile candidates for governor. When last heard of politically they were headed for the executive chair and their friends are fearful lest they collide with Richard I. Manning somewhere and got lost in the shuttle "Wo hope for the best, for they are both good men in their separate lines Of work. It looks as though there will soon be more to write about. "Another well defined rumor is that Judge Ira II. Jones Will be a candi date to succeed Associate Justice! Woods on the supreme court bench." The Carnival. I don't believe in all work and no play, and like decent amusement, but it is to be hoped that the protest of a great number of good citizens that has been interposed against the coining of the carnival has been affective to slim it out. If however, it should get here, then let all good people discountenance and discourage by refusing to patron ize it. What does the average carnival bring U l anyway? Is it not a carnival of vice and Immorality, with its low gambling, lewdness and dissipation? The demoralization of tylbor for a week or ton days, and the carrying away of several thousand dollars from those classes that need it most, is no small matter. But is this all? No, its debasing and poisonous influence up on the young, outweigh the matter.-, of dollars and cents. Does the city want revenue? Then add a little more to the high taxes, it will be cheaper in til-;- end for no taxes are so heavy as those that come indirectly from the license issued by towns to the saloon, low vaudeville or shows, that prey lipon virtue and morality, upon the very lit'e blood of society. Rather than have the aver age carnival, It were a thousand times cheaper and better for the good citi zens to assemble in mass meeting and subscribe a sum to take the place of any license fee had In contemplation. I will freely give something, while at the same time believing that a town that can't live without the license from a saloon, or other low vicious Institutions has little title to life The most prosperous communities in the world will not license such things.
