THURSDAY.JUNE 25.1908.
The Senatorial Campaign,
It would take a prophetic vis-!
1011 mutrcu ivj ui|? iuiv vw\. *?.
tare far enough to discern upon
whom will fall the toga of the |
late Senator Latimer. We had
thought all along that it would;
be a difficult matter to name the
winner,but uow,having heard the aspirants
present their claims for the |
office, we confess that we are in
doubt more than ever.
Talking with people from various
sections, it seems that thej
prevailing opinion in this county i
*? flio fircf flivieinn will be!
JO buat iuv uiov utf iwiv>*
Evans, llhett and Smith, but in
what order thej will come, opinions
differ.
Judging from appearances here
and from reports from other
meetings, Mr Smith has the ,
crowd with him in this section (
of the State, but we do not believe
he will poll a big vote in
the up-country, which, should it
4 unite on any candidate, will be
able to elect him. Mr Smith's
chances for election have been
much euhanced bv the recent ad
vance in the price of cotton, but
then cotton is a very uncertain;
commodity and is likely to play
coquettish tricks at any stage of the
game. The main argument against
him by Mr Smith's opponents |
seems to be: If he has helped
the farmers bv his crusade against
Wall street he should retain his
present position; if he has uot'
helped them he is not entitled to
special consideration at their
hands.
Mr Rhett makes a tine appearance
and exemplifies the business
men. He is making a vigorous-'
' -? ?j. - 11? 1
campaigu anu win get a guuuij ,
' number of votes. He is recog-!'
nized as being a strong man
throughout the State. However,
he seems to be the target of all
his competitors because he is a
banker. Just why this should
be the case, if in other respects!
he be qualified for the office, we
do not clearly perceive. The;
banks have done more to build
up the South, and moreover to
furnish the farmers the "sinews j
of war" to maintain their tight j
against what Mr Smith terms 1
"Wall street" than any other,
agency that they could command. |
Take away the banks from the >
country and we are in a sorry 1
plight indeed.
Mr Evans is also no small j'
factor to reckon with in this,
contest He has a large follow- j
ing and his argument is logical
aud convincing. Mauy predict'
that the man who beats John
... I1
ijary r.vans win oe ine next j
Senator.
Col Johnston is making a (
masterly plea as to why he should j
be the preferred one and his eloquence
is telling in its effect. ,
He may yet be a formidable (
factor iu the race. ]
Col Lumpkin is a finished ora-'
tor and bases his candidacy on , ^
straigtit out prohibition. If ail
the prohibitionists in the State
stick to him he will surely be '
elected?but will they? The personal
equation enters largely into
political nutters and (ol
Lumpkin does not "mingle"' as
well as do some of the other,
candidates.
Mr Martin seems to be regard
ed as an uncertain quantity. It
is iimllv supposable, however, that
he will get into the second pri-1
mar v. Still he adds a lot of
ginger to the campaign.
Mr Grace seems to be the
dark horse. In fact, the conclusion
was that he bad withdrawn
from the contest. His
telegram, however, leceived here
Monday, reassures his many friends
and supporters. But he has lost
a lot of n 'liable time.
The selection of a candidate j
for the high and honorable posi- j
tion of United States Senator is
a matter that should be weighed;
-
wisely and well by the people.
His tenure of office is six Vrs
and as he generally succeeds*!'. .* ;
self, it practically means a ter?i
%
of at least twelve years. We
have tried to give our impression
of the men and their chances,
without favor or prejudice, and
it is for the voters to say whom
they will choose. Doubtless a j
number of our friends disagree
with us as to the "sizing up"
of the candidates, but that is our
opinion and a newspaper that fears
w express an opinion is no newspaper
at all.
The commencement season is;
commencing to end.
*
Cut out of your platform the
iucreased tax levy, Governor, aud
you Will win in a walk.
_
The only certainty about the:
senatorial campaign is the uncer- j
tainty as to the successful aspir-1
ant.
If there are any dramatic sltua- j
tions in the congressional cam j
paign we predict that the star
actors will be Messrs Ragsdale
and Ellerbe.
Georgetown gave Congressman
Ellerbe ijuite an ovation, it is said,
at the campaign meeting last Saturday.
Congressman Elleibe has
been very kind to Georgetown
and he is entitled to their gvat-:
itude.
Georgetown county, we believe,
polls nearly a thousaud votes
when all the voters vote.
Colleton county seems to be a
fertile field for candidates, there
being fifty-four announced in the!
current issue of the Press and
Standard, as follows: House of
representatives, 4 ; Master, 2 :
Sheriff, 8 ; Supervisor 6; Auditor,
G; Treasurer, 2; Clerk of court,
4 ; Superintendent of education, 2;
Coroner, S; County commissioner,
7; Magistrate, 5While
we believe that Governor
Ansel is entitled to a second
term and that it will be given I
him, we differ with him as to his j
views on taxatiou. His idea of I
raising the* State levy two mills'
to meet the deficiency seems fallacious.
Once put the State on
x cash basis and our legislative!
Solons would run riot in their 1
extravagance. No, the proper
remedy for the evil of legislative
?xtravagance is the * exercise of:
:he vjeto ppwer that is vested in J
- i
the chief inagistraje. We fail to
see the wisdom of piling up taxes
ad infinitum.

Mrs .1 C Kinder, Academy Street,;

Doan's Kidney Pills as being j
a valuable remedy for tbe purposes
for which their use was intended. I !
suffered considerably from kidney
trouble and could find nothing that
would give me more than temporary
relief until I bought Doan's Kidney
Pills at Scott's drug store.
They benefited me so greatly that I
have no hesitancy in recommending
them.
