J. E. ELLERBE.
A Private Citizen Predicts His Election.
Bp;.
We notice all the candidates for
p Congress saw Mr Ellerbe are having
Bfi 6 * V * ^
i? the newspapers over the Sixth Disf
' trict to reproduce nice things some
friend has written about them. Ilav^
ing known Mr Ellerbe from his
boyhood we can not al tow his modesty
to prevent us from telling the people
of this district something of him and
k * his work.
When only twelve years old he
showed the most remarkable mind
for mathematics ever known in old
Pjne Hill academy. At that age he
was put up against twelve of the
' . oldest pupils in school (many of
l& them from fifteen to twenty-one
jtears old) in a battle-class in mental
&L arithmetic. Wpile teacher and
superintendent of edncafiou gave out
ditficu't example^ in compound inon/1
rvut fiol aormunlo n n/1 ??11
VVICOO |.|UU I'tlJlUVl |/C* > llit.ll lO UUli till
[:\ kiuds of fiactions, yet without paper
Or slate he worked those examples,
fnrniug dow n first one after another
|< of those competitors to the perfect
astonishment of the crowd present.
He never was turned down. lie
afterwards went to Wofford College,
fc--. There he won every honor, both in
ft college and society. Was first presi'
dedt of his society from his class,
py Elected on annual debate, Chief
Marshal for the college.and for six
monthst one of nine presidentsof Calhoun
Literary Society. He won
every medal given by the college or
jf society for which he could compete.
| ; In the archives of the Calhoun
Literary society will be found
speeches and essays of his that the
m members of the society thought
worthy of a place in the archives to
be read by boys that were yet to come
to Woflord. He graduated from college
in 1887, taking for the subject
of his graduating speech "A Plea for
Farming." In that speech lie advocated
mixing brains with fertilizers,
claiming there were many things
this State could produce w hich would
pay betler than cotton; and that no
one knew the possibilities of an acre
of Carolina soil: He made in that
speech this significant assertion:
^ "Hanging on tlji; walls of our schoolhouses
and colleges are the picture^
5 or men wno nave, von distinction m
many ways, but nbt one do we see of
a man who has won distinction paret
ly as a farmer. Thi#causes farthers'
ft sons to be educated away from*, the
farm. I stand, here to plead for the
coming of the day when the people
of this State shall honor the man who
wisely and successful)- farms as much
as the one who has won' distinction
in any other calling." He has stuck
to that idea ever since.
Mr Elierbe began farming and
merchandising in 1887. Two tiros
destroyed from six to eight thousand
dollars worth of proprety for him,
with 110 insurance. The hard years
came on and his hooks show frofli
twenty o> thirty thousand^dollars
owing liim by thy people of Marion
ecuuty. His friends begged and
pleaded with him to let^his creditors
take whit he had and start again as
he could never pay his debts. Hut
he refused firmly to do so, saying he
owed honest debts and could never
rest easy until he paid them. He
closed up hi* store,-took the the plow
handles and has paid his debts. He
refers with pride to every banker and
merchant in Marion county as to his
standing.
Mr VII orho :c Allo nf fUo Knot I
vi luc kwrt idi in*
era Marion county has ever produced,
. *nd while he has read some law books
for his own improvement, yet farmi
ing is his life-work and he glories
in it.
Everything which tends to help
his community tlnds iu Mr Ellerbe a
friend. He is a trustee of Pine Hill
academy, chairman of board of trustees
of School District No. 28, and an .
enthusiastic believer in education. 1

and also of Cedar Springs Seliool.
Mr Ellerbe's modesty prevents his j
telling these things, but we think i
the people should know it. He is no I
quitter, but once convinced his;
course is right, nothing can stop him ;
until he cets what he wants. That]
is the man Marion coun'y is offering
to the Sixth Congressional District
at this time. We believe he is going
to be elected and there is NOT A
MAN in the district who will tight
harder and get more for his people
than he will. Watch Ellerbe!

A DRAINAGE I AW.
Mr. Jno. A. Kelly, of Williamsburg,
Here in Interest of One.
Mr Jno A Kelley, of Williamsburg,
a leading attorney and land
owner of w) Hiatus burg connrv, is 111
the city in tht interest of a drainage
law, which he proposes to 'have
passed at the next session of the
General Assembly and which will,
it is thought, materially improve
that land in the lower counties. It
is proposed to have the same laws
as are now in force in some of the
Western sfaf'OS and provide for a
state drainage commission and a local
tax on all land owners who are
willing to stand the tax and thuj
drain off any swamp lani^ they
might have. Mr Kelley will meet
some of the members from the
coast counties soon and press the
merits of h:s bill, and the matter
will also be taken up in Commissioner
Watson's anunal report.?

Mr Ragsdale, in his campaign
speech here last Wednesday, spoke
of an important matter when he
urged white-men to register for the

all means do so; and not only reg-'
ister, but vote on the general election
day. Very much <>f vital concern
