3. H. &[JLL. RDrroIe. The Herald and News and The Ob server bulletin of election returns on the night of the first primary will be in front of The Herald and News office. Arrangements have been made to get full returns as quickly as possible after the votes are counted, and they will be posted immediately. Extras will also be issued during the night. The office will be open and we will be glad to see all our friends. Give us whatever results you know as soon as you come to town. The very atmosphere at Gaffney seems to breed belligerency. There it was that Tillman and McLaurin shook fists in each other's faces, and resigned the highest office within the gift of their people. There it was that Editor DeCamp called Jim Tillman a liar and offered to prove it over Tillman's own signature. There it. was within the past few days that two candidates for the United States Senate engaged in a fisticuff. All these things happened at political meetings in this place. We await with interest further develop ments from Gaffney. Wm. J. Bryan is no longer consid ered a possibility for the presidential nomination, and it is hardly probable that he will ever again be called from his retirement to private life. It may be well for the Democratic party that it is so. While we have always been a strong admirer of the man. There is a strong prejudice against him held by some in the ranks of the party, and if again nominated he would go into the race as one who had been twice de feated for the position. There is at present only one chance of success. Harmony in the ranks must be secured; a new and strong man, one having the confidence of the entire people, must be chosen as leader; and rallied around one standard, the whole party must go into the next race with a determination to win. Then there will be a chance for victory. In Rewrd to the T. it Kooks. Hon. John J. McMahan, State Superin tendent of Education, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir:-In view of the unjust at tack made upon you with reference to the adoption of text-books, it is but justice that we, as members of the State~ Board of Education responsible for the changes in text-books, come forward and make the following state mente 1. You are in no sense responsible for the appointment of the men who * ereised his prerogative under the con stitution, and appointed the seven members without regard to your pre ferences. *2. You are not responsible for the changes made in. the books. You * stronly opposed the adoption of some. A board of nine men selected the books by a majority vote in each case; and no one man could control the result, or can have the blame or praise for what was dond. All acquiesced loyally in the result, and to you, as State Superin tendent of Education, is due the credit that the uniformity of text-books-so much to be desired-has become a fact, and is not a dead letter. 3. The country schools were in con fusion from the great diversity of books that had been permitted. The best teaching could not be done when the teacher had to use any and every book that each pupil brought. Therefore any serious effort to improve the coun try schools necessarily involved great changes in text-books. After such changes have been made and the people have acquiesced in the enforcement of the law, it is unfortu nate for a candidate for the high office of State Superintendenrt of Education to come before the people and try to make them dissatisfied with a change that has already been made, that can not be undone, and that all intelligent school men must know is for the .bet terment of the work in the country schools. 4. It is false to say there have been "frequent changes." The changes were ordered in 1900, to take place Novem ber 15, 1901. The contract forbids any more changes before July 1, 1906, and there will probably be little reason for many changes then. 5. Although you were opposed to some of the adoptions, you accepted the result in good faith; and, in the enforcement of the use of the adopted books, you have done your full duty. Regardless of the opposition you would incur, you applied yourself with determ ination to having the law and the con tract carried out. It is, therefore, due chiefly to your efforts that South Caro lina enjoys the lowest prices and ex change rates. Signed. Henry P. Aarcher, Member State Board Education from First Congres sional District. M. B. McSweeney, Governor and Chairman State Board of Education. H. T.

Raysor, late member State Board of Education (now Senator from e Ornebr) Orangebure). o ' A Word for R F. Sznt for Congres-. I Now that the interest in politics is at its height and therefore sufficient to cause the thoughtful voter to undertake to measure the different candidates by what he has seen and heard of them, it is well enough to reflect further to the extent of considering the motives that have actuated each in the choice of his platform and its advocacy before the people. I refer in this connection more especially to the candidates aspiring to represent the Third South Carolina Dis trict in Congress. It goes without say ing that all of these gentlemen are clean honorable men, but there are es sential differences in them when it comes to considering any one of them as a probable representative of this pro gressive district, and these differences must be taken into account in the meas urement we are called upon to make on the 26th of August and to be concluded on the day of the second election, for such is to be expected. A review of the platforms of the different candidates for this office is pertinent in this connection. Messrs. Prince, Rucker, Graydon and McCalla have served as representatives of their counties in the State legislature and while their records. are no doubt con sistent, and their efforts have also been directed towards the promotion of the best interest of their people, their service as State legislators as re counted by them as refrains to their political arguments on the stump show that in the school of legislation they are yet novices when it comes to handling questions and problems of na tional concern. Mr. Aiken has never had legislative experience of any kind, yet he shows a familiarity with the leading questions of the day quite equal to any of his op ponents who boast of years of service in the South Carolina House of Repre sentatives. Mr. Stribbling has had lim ited legislative experience. Dr. Smith has had some experience as a law maker, having served as a member of the Constitutional Conven tion in 1895 where his sound judgment was exercis :d, along with his active energetic support, in framing a funda mental law for South Carolina that was thought to meet the changed conditions brought about by the change of times and public necessities. But it is by their stump speeches and arguments on public questions pressing for study and solution that we must judge their capacity to represent us in this live age. Which of them does really advance any ideas for the settle ment, to our interest, of the stubborn problems affecting us in a national way, beyond urging the following of a course of action laid out by the recognized leaders of the Democratic party? Which of them presents any definite plan by which Southern people may hope to effect a betterment of their condition through federal laws? I ask only that they be weighed by their speeches as the best and only safe measurement. I admit that they are agreed on the salient features of true Democracy, and all of thnm endorse the Democratic platform and urge allegiance to the Democratic party as the medium of our political advancement, but fpr progress veness within party lines and the sug gestion of measures that embody active energy which will continue to draw life and support from the recognized needs of our people as they are shaped into demands, we need something more than mere pat subservience. We need active mind that will formulate system our claims, however advanced they may be, yet always within Democratic bounds, to the end that something defi nite may be accomplished for the peo ple who are certainl'y ready for all the assistance that may be had from well framed laws that look towards effecting the very reforms and advantages that Proper laws can bring. In order to see the movement of progress in which all the South is vi tally interested we must be represented by men who are alive to what the busi ness interests of the country need. It is time to lay aside sentimental politics and develop the practical, business side in a practical, business way, and the attention of every v(oter is called to the fact that by the utterances of Dr. R. F. Smith in stating his platform and giv ing an expoition of his views, there is presente an embodiment of sour)d poli tis and the only practical and sensible plan of administration to be pursued by the representatives of any Southern district. As for the other candidates for this office, they offer few sugges tions. Some of them seem to be ham pered by the weight of their past politi cal records but have been gradually, as the campaign progressed, falling into Smith's platform in an undecided way since they began to see that Smith's presentation of the vital issues of this campaign is drawing the attention of the people and helping them to a reali zation of the possibilities in store for them if they only assert their claims. For good Democratic doctrine, and sound political methods to be advocated by a member of Congress, Dr. Smith has taken the lead throughout the cam paign. Others are running on personal ~pularity and relying greatly on stump g ability. Smith has advantages in al these lines and has proven himself the eual of any of them in forensic abilit besides, because he comes to the people with something to say to make them think. He has studied the domi- I nant questions in an intelligent way and< is well posted on them. He has studied them from the standpoint of the pro-( ducer and1 the manufacturer as well and offers suggestions which, if carried out in legislation, will redound to the ad vantage of both. He is 'interested in every phase of business carried on in ~ this section and knows the needs of the :ountry and who could better under ake to represent us than the man whose interests are identified with the C~ interests of the great mass of the pee- 0 le? And when these conditions are L oupled with the rare ability that is apable of ferreting out and grasping he evils that contend against the suc- 2 essful enjoyment of the natural ad antaes of this section which could be ;urnd to so much better account under C aw that, instead of discriminating, rould actually contribute to the pros )erity of our country and the welfare u f our own people, the thoughtful voter b vill conclude that the man in this race vho p resents a platform that means omething is the man that deserves this upport, and the really thoughtful man ill take R.
