Is Optimistle., Spartanburg, May 7.-In an inter view yesterday, Prof. John 0. Clink scales, Spartanburg's candidate for governor, declared himself as greatly pleased with the action of the coun ty democratic convention Monday. Mr. Clinkscales was sent as a delegate by his club to the convention, but a pre vious engagement for May 1 ilervent ed his attending. "Wihat do you think of the action of the convention touching the pri mary, Professor?" was asked. Approves Acotio. "Fine, very fine," was the quick reply. '(We send to Columbia a dele gation composed of strong, intellec tual, honest, representative men. They go utiInstructed as to the primary and I'n sure every nan will vote for sucl, rules and regulations as will in sure an honest election." "What lin your judgment, should the state convention (1o to safeguard the primary?" "lcxeuse mne, please; I would not presume to dictate to the convention just what that body should do, but that something will be done and the proper thing, I have no doubht. Things will certainly be fixed so that only true-blue democrats can vote, each man but once, and republicans ani bull mtoosers not. at all. A self-re specting republican or bull moose would not ask it of course." "What do you think would be the result if the convention should fail to take action?" No Action Means No. Primiarles. "If the convention takes no action to safeguard the 'primary, and if in thte August. nrinmnry we have nrrupuu tion, in my judgment, it will be tho last primary ever held in Soul h aro lina. Good people will tolerate ,eme things a long titme, but corruption in elections they will not stand for." "l)o you object to my publishing that statemen, professor?" "Why, certainly not; I am for an honest election or no election. Sev eral months ago I wrote 'ir. MeMahan of Columbia, just where I stood in reply to several questions he sent me. He said Ie had asked the other candi dates the same questions and proposed to publish their replies. He never did, however." "You talk so freely and so plainly of the necessity to safeguard the pri nmat'y I am led to ask what, if elected governor, you would do with thc Charleston situation?" "What do you have reference tc particularly, the reputed condition of general lawlessness?" "Yes, the racetrack gambling an1 the bold deflance of the dispensary law; as you say, general lawless ness." Will Suppress iacetrack.

" " " " " " ". " " " " " " " " " " .JOSEPH T. JOHNSON. * " " " " " " " " " t " " " e " " " e " " (By T. Larry Gantt, in Jones Coun ty News, i llisville, Miss). ERme days since the Memphis, Ten nessee, Commercial-Appeal contained a lengthy and very strong editorial of endorsement of Lion. Joseph T. John son, member of congress from the Spartanburg district of South Carolina. That paper spoke of the magniliecent work Mr. Johnson is doing to protect the people against extravagant expen ditures and to bring about true re forms in public affairs. Among the bills introduced by Mr. Johnson was one for members to Le paid actual traveling expenses, and not 20 cents per mile, as is now the law. Mr. .Johinson argued that the 20-cent mileage was adopted before the days of railways and cheap and rapid transit, when members had to travel back and forth from Washing ton by stage coach or on horseback. But now that they can travel on rail ways for not exceeding three cents, it is unjust to the taxpayers for mem bers to receive some live or six times their actual outlay, besides their sal aries and other percluisities. Mem bers from our insular Possession :, or even the far west or Pacific slope, thus take from the treasury a sum al mulort equal to the salary of a con gressman. Mr. .Johnson succeeded in having this bill pats the house, .e it said to the credit of the members, but it hangs lire in the senate. And this is only one of the highly commendable bills this faithful and vigilant S'outh Carolina congressman has introduced. lie has ever since his election to congress, fought un necessary extravagance, and is indeed and in truth a guardian of the public treasury. lie has waged an unending war against the policy of pensioning public ofilcials, and in fact, every financial measure introduced is care fully studied by Congressman John son and he never fails nor hesitate to show the injustice of needless ex penditures. This vigilant membe has saved the people a vast sum o money, and we heartily endorse al the praise given him by the Mlemphih paper. The editor of this paper supported Mr.' Johnson when he first made hi race for congress and we have watch ed with pride and gratification hi: splendid caregr. lie is the soul o honor, truth and sincerity, and hi: constituents always know that then every right and interest is safegaurd ed by .Joe Johnson. To show the kind of man he is we heard him confess to casting a cer tatin unpopular vote, when Senato Irby, his bitterest political enemy asserted that lie (Irby) was at th polls lin Laurens all clay, and tha Johnson did not vote. But instea of seeking to advance his politics success by condoning an error, Jos .Johpson stated that Senator Irby wa mistaken; that lhe dlid vote, while thb senator was taking a lunch, but tI speaker confessed that he made mistake in that ballot. .Joe Johnsoa then went on to state that lie kney this confession would injure hii: chianes for election to congress, bu lhe had ratherca go dlown in defeat thai secure ofllce by coniniving at an lion est mistake or under raise colors. Instead of that confession harmini Mr. Johnson, it showed the voters tI true and honest man lie was. H, swep~t his dlistrict, and for a numbe of terms has faithfully and ably rep resentedl not only his constituent's, bu the people of our entire country. Such men as JToe Johnson, of Spar tanburg, are few and~ far between i1 this degenerate age, and his peopI are doing a great wvork for both thel district and the country at larg when they retain lhim ii offce. We have kuowa lion. Jlosephl 'l Johnson long and intimately, and (lid Oti1' heart goodl to see him a hilghly endorsed andc commended b .such strong and wvell Informed pc pers as the Memphis Comnmercia .. Appeal. Ini fact, wec notice that thn f press of the ent ire count ry isluh la g Congressman JTohnson, of Sout y Carolina, up as an example for thea a members. ..God never created a purer hea or a man mor'e free fro~m the sligh est 'taint of corrumption. You can a ways place ,Joe Jbohnson for lie is e' I' er oni the side of t ruth, right and jui: tice. Hie is not. only an able state r man, bt he is a Chlristian gentlema wilth heart overflowving with love ar rcharity for his fellow-man. The people of the old Spartan di trilct of the Palmetto state are wvi gIn retaining .Joo T. Jlohnson in co gress, for' they will nover' find abler or' better man, lie is not on Shonored In his own country and y his own people, bnt likewvise abro and throughout the length and bread of the land. Mr. Johnson is real e doing a mor'e Important work fort to rollof and prosperity of the mnass than all of those so-called "leadei combined, lHe is striking at the r'c nf evil extravagant oxne'nditutres the people's, hard earned tax money. It.would not only be a reflection upon his district, but little short of a ca lamity to the country, to displace Joe Johnson with any other man. In this corrupt and selfish age, we cannot af ford to lose public men who arc so loyally and faithfully serving the pub lic weal and welfare. SU3131ElSETTvI TO RUN.
