The Keowee Courier, published in Oconee county, takes The Record to task on account of a paragraph that appeared in this column recently itating that Hoyt Hayes, the young man who was recently I condemned to death in Oconee for killing his wife, had escaped from the coun ty jail. The writej of the quib referred to doubtless had in mind the case of Adams, the Colleton murderer, who while confined in Walterboro jail pending the execution of the death sentence, succeeded K i in making his escape and is still at large. On behalf of the writer of the offer ding paragraph we beg forgiveness on the part of the esteemed Conner, Sheriff Moss and all others who deem themselves in way wronged.. Moreov er, we assure them i that we are not prejudiced against V-.. Haynes, the alleged murderer, but if he be guilty, as the law says he isv we are glad to know that he has not escaped, but is still in the custody of a "conscientious sheriff, who is x striving to do hit duty", and whose duty will be ended on a certain fatal Friday, save only by the interference of the Governor, who, we do not believe, will grant a reprieve when the verdict of the circuit court has been affirmed by the State's highest tri v banal. g? \ ____________ Some Seasons Why the Hon. James Norton Should be Nominated for Congress. i He ? the best equipped man for tbe du ties of a Congressman in the rape. Not a lawyer?yet a knowledge of law and constitutional governnnent equal to either candidate in the field. Broad experience in couuty, state and national affairs and with tbat experience he possesses a robust manhood and abilities equal to the best of the aspirants. A Confederate soldier of four years' seryice as a private. He claims no honors for these services. All things equal, it should have weight Several times wounded?once seriously. Not another old soldier in the race in the State. Not one in State office except Jennings. He has helped more old soldiers since the war than most men. A man of tbe people and a friend to the laborer. Himself raised to work?great energy and tactful persistence. Devoted to the public good, especially so as a public official. His record as school commissioner of his native count'? excelled bj none?a friend of education. Watchful and zealous member of the State Legislature, opposed to all extravagance in public affair; and progressive in his ideas of the development of every interist of * the Shate. As Comptroller General of South Carol .na, he displayed great executive and administrative abilities in the management of the most important branch of the State government The record made in this offioe demonstrates the absolute fairness of the man in public offioe and shows his jttft conceptions of the duties of t A 7 \ ...

Tactfully diplomatic, no pnjwic duty suffered at his hands. \ .' In Congress, Mr. Nijrtou was equal to every responsibility. No great orator, but with skilljyi tqergy before the committees-of Congress and administrative departfltots at Washington, his.diplomacy Vounted fotJ much and things happened.ip-tlff^ interest of his people.

The boys in the Spanish American war received more active aid and after positions through Mr. Norton than many Congressmen. A man of less tactful persistence and skillful entreaty might not have secured the reopening of the Lake City post office when it was done, and uuder such disadvantages. In this community, Mr. Norton is a real public benefactor* The amount of work done gratuitously is marvelous. Church, Sunday school, town and commnnity feel the beneficial results of his works. Any way to help others. His life and energies belong almost literally to the public good about him. In Columbia, when Comptroller General, ibstead of banquet halls and restfnl pleasures, he built up a fine school among the people of a missionary church. In Washington, his record is as good?consistent v - 1 .1 | wnerever piaceo. ' These facta?this lite too, shows why the neighbors of Mr. Norton always practically support him unanimously for anything asked for. See results from two , electionsothers same. In 1897 for Congress, fire men from his connty entered the race. At Mullins the four received 68 votes and Norton 398 (from memory.) The four meu were strong and popular citizens. In 1900, last vote, Norton 488 and opponent also raised ia Mulhns 90 votes. His life among these good people and his work for them and known to them accounts for their devotion to him. A record and facts that any man should be proud of and as honorable as even going to Congress. A farmer himself, Mr. Norton is directly interested in the agricultural development of this section, no less than he is in the commercial pro gress of this people. Georgetown harbor and rivers tributary would command his best talents and efforts for proper appropriations. The industrial interests of the sixth district have and would receive every aid and encouragement at his hauds. Mails in' town and country would not suffer any detriment from his helpful touch and sagacious aid. As a grower of tobacco, he knows, where the shoe pinches in this industry. Necessarily he would strive to relieve these pinches, How? Secure the removal of legal restrictions on tobacco by the United States government and allow the growers of tobacco to sell his products of tobacco in any form desired, as wheat Jaud its products and othea comI j).: tx?

He would allow the grower to manufacture his tobacco into cigars, cigarettes, smokiug or otherwise and sell where and to whom he pleases without legal, retraints. These conditions would remove ^ebacco from, the easy conlrol of combinations and allow growers to secure the 20 to 40 cents now paid by.consumers for smoking tobacco k! M'n* II _ _ X wjrioifctne grower sens now ai i w 5 cents. And, too, interest would prompt him to do all possible to seen re the removal ot the 6 cents recently placed on stripe?stemmed le^f?by England. While England needs money, this is a lick at the American laborer In tobacco stemmeries.. Diplomacy and not legislation must-change this 6 cents. Retaliatory legislation might change. English leaf tax is-- 70 odd cents, strips 82 cents. United Statas tariff laws need revision. If Parker is elected with a Democratic house, something may be attempted. Mr. Norton's great knowledge of3 tax laws and long experience in tax department of this State preemineidk ly qualify him for snch labors ii^ Congress. To his great credit there* is nothing of the "flap-doodle" in Mr. Norton. Horace Greely said, "Fladoodle is the>|tuff on which fools are fed." Painfully plaiD, i. a ? J-.JI.I! ?U almost toe "oapuuouie sijic ui things to all meo to get votes is not a characteristic of oar neighbor in pablic life or oat ot it. Not 'iwibly wobly" on all sides of all questions to get there right or wrong, but a man who scorns canting hypocricy and sham. This man above described has been as faithful and trne to the county, state and district as to the people of the Mullins community. Any man in the district, however humble and poor; can approach him and will receive the same courteous attention and consideration given the strongest and richest. Tn Washington the citizens of the sixth district of South Carolina always found ready friends who would at midnight, as well as by daylight, chearfully attend to any business or interest possible for rich or poor. Even now appeals come to him from other counties for aid in better mail facilities in their communities. Confidence is a plant of slow growth, but gradually the real character ot Mr. .Norton as a man ami pudlic servant spreads and grows upon the sixth district. With a knowledge of his abilities and real character we commend him to the confidence and support of the voter8 of the seven counties of the distnct as a faithful public servant citizen worthy of all we have said and moie.?Mullins Enterprise. THE DEATH PENALTY. A little thing sometimes results in death. Thus a mere scratch, insignificant cuts or puny boils have paid the death penalty. It is wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the best Salve on earth and will prevent fatality, when Burns, Sores, Ulcers and Piles threaten. Only 25c, at Dr W V Brockinton's Drug Store. sit a Lake City, S.
