Since the final meeting of the StE
campaign which was held here.
was called to his attention that,
implication, G. L. Walker, a can<
date for comptroller general, at tb
meeting charged that he (Derhai
was supporting A. W. Jones I
comptroller general because of
agreement between them that
Jones were elected, Derham shou
he his chief clerk. Mr. Derham se
that this charge was unfounded as
untrue; that Mr. Jones had made
offer to him of a position in case
his election, nor would he accept a
position in the comptroller genera
office if offered.
His support of Mr. Jones w
prompted by his belief that 1v
Jones is the best fitted and m<
competent man for this irnporta
office. This statement is forced fr<
him by the charge that he had
personal interest in Mr. Jones' eli

He says that he b4lieves the pi
ple of the State who have honor
him with their confidence in t

lar Latimer for the Senate.
ad [Anderson Mail.]
;er The second primary for United
States Senator is on for September
ite 9th, and it is now for the voters of
Lat the State to choose between the two
ur highest candidates, Latimer and
ed Evans. We present here in concise
ed form some reasons why Latimer
he should command the support of the
uin people:
ke He is a man of the people, sprang
from their ranks and has worked his
way up. While he has always been
an avowed Reformer he has never
at mixed in State politics and has never
made himself offensive to those of
1, the opposite taction.
He has been ten years n Con
as gress from the Third District, being
ry returned by increased majorities
by each time, thus showing that he had
he the confidence of the people and
>ia looked after the interests of th'e
ite whole district, and in tthe recent pri
It mary carried his district by an over
by whelming majority over the field.
Ii. He has been instrumental in se
at curing the appropriation of a great
deal of money for his district and
or the State during his career, in all
an over $8,000,000.
if He has secured the adoption of
d the system of rural free delivery of
id the mail in his district, bringing
ad $54,000 annually into it, to say noth
no ing of securing $15,000 for New
of berry college.
He was instrumental in forcing
l's the railroads of the State in the
hands of the Federal courts to pay
,as the taxes due the State, amounting
[r. to over $200,000.
t He has been in the fierce light of
ata public campaign for over two
>m months and has come out clean and
a unscathed. He is a clean man
~,. himself and nothing has been proven
against his public or private charac
,0 ter.
ed He has not made war on any man,
he any section or any interest, but has
e only defended himself vigorously
when attacked.
His public career has been char
-. acterized by faithfulness to the in
fterests of the people, by a broad
3. minded patrotism that takes in the
interests of the people, by a broad
minded patriotism that takes in the
i- interests of the whole, ani not a part
of only.
~"He has not used money to.influ
on ence the voters nor does he propose
ry to do so, nor does he mean to say
s that it has been done, but only to
in assert that he himself is clean and
" has made a clean campaign.
If elected to the Senate he pro
st poses to represent the people of the
as entire State as faithfully as he has
,represented the Third Congressional
~- District. He will not set the in
on terests of one city or community
above the interests of any other.
is Charleston, Columbia, Greenville,
a Anderson, Spartanburg, Rock Hill
s-or Florence and all others will be re
membered and treated as parts of
the great State that gave him birth,
whose honor and prosperity are dear
to him and in whose bosom he er
ie pects to rest at last.
A R. Frank Smith for Congress.
rk Mr. Editor: The race for Congress
it, in the Third district is reduced from
rk seven to two candidates--Aiken and
ag Smith. No section of this State has
at made or will likely make more im
ay portant demands upon a congress
e man than this, the progressive Third
h district. It is exceedingly important
d. that the great agricultural and in
gs dustrial intirests of the counties di
:. rectly interested, are represented in
nd the national legislature by t he strong
ala est man tbat Cant be se.ected--a ruan
by of breadth and depth-who will be
ire watebfal, active and true to his c'on
ire stituents.
fly At no period in this country'% his
y. tory was ever so onehl at stake as~
or now, and thA time has come wh1en
iy vr or should weigh carefully
the merits of the two candidates 'Yoi
congress in this district. The genial
companionable characteristics o:
either should not be regarded par
from ability and general fitness. I
should not be a matter of friendsbil
or personal regard for fawili? or in
dividuals, living or dead, but one o:
patriotic duty for the upbuilding ani
continued prosperity of the whol
country, and especially this sectioi
directly interested.
I have known R. Frank Smith, o
Pickens, one of the candidates befori
us, for twenty years. He is a sub
stantial citizen, of great 'force o
character and is intellectually strong
If.he does not measure up to the re
quirements of a representative fron
this district at Washangton, then w
who know him so well will be greatl;
disappointed. He was born an<
reared in Anderson County, near thi
line dividing it from Pickens. Som<
years ago be transferred his residenci
to Pickens County, but has during
his .whole life, been largely intereste<
in, and identified with, Aadersoi
County. He has sought few politi
cal honors, giving his earlier year
to his private or professional work ii
which he has been remarkably -suc
cessful. No political preferment hai
ever been denied him by his owi
county. In the primary of last Tues
day, he carried Pickens by an 'over
whelming vote-by a much greate:
majority than was given to any othe:
home candidate in the home district
In the upper portion of Andersoi
where he is well known, his strengtl
developed about as distinctly as ii
Pickens.
The time is short between.now an<
the final primary on the 9th of Sep
tember, but it is not too late to d<
our duty and ingire as to Fran]
Smith's fitness and general qualifica
tions for the high place he seeks.
There is another view to take o
this race. The voter, having settlet
for himself the question of compara
tive ability and fitness as botwee
Smith and Aiken, and even if some
will admit equality on this line, is i
not plain that Picken~s, in all fairness
should have the representative, o:
prefer;enee in this choice between ai
Abeville and Pickens man? Ander
son has had the congressman for tei
yeys. Abbeville had D. Wyatt Aikel
and Cot.hran until both died, New
berry has been represented, Oconel
is out of it, and Pickens has neve
had a congressman in her life. Pick
ens has'indicated beyond doubt tha
Frank Smith is her man. No othe
county in the district has been- 94
pronounced in favor of its man
Pickens with a total of 2,409 votei
gave Smith 1660. A bbeville, out o
her total vote of 2,271 gave 694
votes to Aiken. The voting strengt]
of Abbeville and Pickens is abou
the same and so their respectivi
claims for importance as politica
factors in the district are about on
parity. Therefore, in all justnesi
and fairness, Anderson, Newberry
Oconee, Greenville and even Abbe
ville can well afford to concede t<
Pickens, our sister county, the righi
to name the congressman in thui
second race, since it has been demon
strated by a previous test that Pick
ens has put up a strong and accepta
ble man in the person of Frani
Smith. Anderson.
