To moet and an%sr that quesiton and put his frionds by way of re Melmbrauce in fresh posst,ssiu of his record it is propos,Al her3 to give a short resumo of hisN work, not in any spirit or words of f ihomit aduaition, but to give a simlli - recit al of the facts in simplo j11.,tick to the man and his record. XV ot has he done? And first and foromics;t let, it, ho said that he went to Cot -ress blacklisted by his defeated op,oient, who pnt tho stigma of Poptlism upon him and upon the Democratie voters of the 3kI district, who had sent him -there, and who set himself up as the .solf.constituted Epresontative of the 3-1 district, so far as the patronago sit the disposal of the Cleveland Ad ministration was concerned. H[o has outlived this and co-o to see himself recuonized as the only Congressman from the 3d district vho has brought tangible results to his coustiiuents that can b)e coulntedl ' hard cash andi practical bOnfits. Others had triedi to secure for Newi iry Colle its jutst claim for damnm es duo from the Federal Governmordt. hut it r-emained1 for Latimer to see tre the money, the actual cash, au this he (lid by hard and persiston' work with the individual member , andi with the committees of Con:ss It will be remembered by ev. r body that the South Carolina R '.iroad had boeen for years in the hands of a receiver, appointed by a Fodt ral Judge, and it persistently rofu;'ed to pay the taxes due 'iy the State on its prop orty. Governor Ti llman undertook to collect this tax by having the sheriffs levy on the property. Thiey were arrested andi lined by Judge Simonton. Thereupon Latimer in trodluced and succeeded in getting passed through Congress a bill for relief, requiring corporations in the hands of a receiver to pay their tax to the State just the same as the farmor or the business man does. The result of the act was that $208, 00(0 of past due taxeft were paid into thai State troasniy by the Senth Caro Jian Railroad. A miug flttle sum, triuly. It is largely due to Latime~r's ef forts that the systemi of free rural mail delivery was or'ginated and en grafted upon tihe postal system of the Government, anid it is destinod to permente in the b dure every sec lion of tihe country, hringing to the denizens of rnral dwt.ricts the same postal facilities enijoyed by the peo plo of tihe towns nud cities. The matter was agitated by him in his first term in Congress.
