The fir^t congressional district,
J because it includes most of the
j South Carolina seaboard, the
! State's largest city and all her
ports, is the most important dis{
jtrict ot'the seven, ll is ol the ut
i mc>t consequence, not only to the
I di-t rirt hot to all the Deo pie ol
j the Slate, that it be represented
by a-a able and practical man <>'
affairs who will-command influence
; in Congress and take high position
lhere Who represents the
, 1st district is a matter more near- ]
| ly affecting the 4th district linn ,
who represents the 5th, 3rd or(
j any othei* district, because the
j proper development of the whob
interior hangs largely upon tin
development of our water facilities.
J*or that reason the Advertiser
has no hesitancy in express ,
ing its sentiments as to the aprvrr* ?/>

Mr. Joseph W. Hani well, t h<
present Senator from Charleston
Conuly is a gentleman who possesses
intellectual gifts of the firorder.
lie is an eloquent, expt
rieuced, thoroughly educated unsound
lawyer. His personal record
and character is without blemish.
When the redemption of th
commonwealth trembled in thbalanee
he was distinguished foaggressive
courage. In the sti
more acute struggle ior the re-,
demption ot tne cny 01 unarie:-,
ton Irom negro misrule he waequally
conspicious. The selection
ot Mr. Barnwell for the Democratic
nomination in his district
will insure for the State a mem- '
her of Congress worthy of th
State's best traditions and in hi- i
person the State will have in tin
halls of legislation a force which
; wille be felt and beard throughou'
14 he nation. In our judgement, tin
1st district lias a ricn opponumiv
| in the candidacy of Mr. Barnwell,
: for hi3 election would insure to tin
j good of all South Carolina. Stron
[elEeieut men are sorely needed b\
(he South at Washington, and Mi
; Barnw II is thoroughly representative
of the South'* best.

weed known as the neieocytis,
which irequenlly grows to a height ' i
of more than three hundred feet. J
The stem of the plant is as strong i

floats on top of lite water. This i j
