Help Elect Bryan.
The Democratic National Com- j
mittee is iu need of money. It
is impossible to conduct successfully
a political campaign of this
magnitude without the "sinews ^
of war''. The people of Wil- ,
liamsburg seemed to be over- (
whelmiugly in favor of Bryau's j
nomination, now the thing to do .
is to get to work and help to|(
elect him.
In the "Solid South" * talk (
?
does little good, if any. Show
your faith by vour works- and go '
. . . t
down in jour pockets to aid tne
cause. Show jour lojaltj to the
grand old Democratic partj by
giving as much as jou can spare
to promote Bryan's success.
Mr. Bryan has appealed direct^
lj to the people and if they fail
him his defeat is a foregone conclusion.
Every little bit helps
and small contributions will be
8
gladly accepted. ^
The Record will start the
' 8
ball rolling with a contribution ^
of one dollar; also we will receive
8
and forward to the treasurer of
the Democratic National Committee,
Governor C. H. Haskell, of
Guthrie, Oklahoma, any other sub- 1
BCriptions that are left at this *
office, or they may be forwarded
direct to Governor Haskell.
A list of contributors will be
f
published weekly in The Record,
ihould the people respond to this
appeal. t

Mr Grace and Mr Rhett, t
If Mr John P Grace,candidate for
the United States Senate, is ambitious
to advertise him self as a 1
politician of the gad-fly variety he 1
must be well pleased with himself. '
The wonder is that. Mr Rhett, the
target of these insect-like onslaughts, ,
is possessed of self-control to endure .
calmly the gadfly's furious attacks, j
Mr Grace's position is utterly
indefensible in that he charges Mr
Rhett with being a Republican, when 1
he does not deny having supported
Mr Rhett since this
alleged apostasy from the ranks
01 jcemocracy.
Tne truth is that Mr (Trace
is so disgruntled because of repeated
defeats at the hands of the people of
Charleston in his efforts to be elected
^o office, that hej seems to consider
himself about the only
simon-pure Democrat in the "City
by the Sea." So, evidently, if 1
Democracy means a government
by the majority, Mr Grace's
brand of politics might invite )
adverse criticism. As he franklyjl
t
admits, Mr Rhett did not vote e
for Bryan in 189t>, because he
could not conscientiously believe
in "Free Silver," and time has
proved the fallacy of the 16 P
to 1 idea. Even Mr Brvan a
himself tacitly admits that bis |n
pet hobbv in 1*9G is practically ju
i
a dead issue now. Be it re men:-11
berd that Mr Khett is not ac- 11
cased of voting the Republican
ticket by his jxilitical mentor,
but because he did not vote at
11
all in lS'JG, then, forsooth,
c
tlie man twice elected Demo-!
( ratio mayor of Charleston, and i
who in 1D04 was unamiuouslv
t
chosen by the Democrats of
I u
South Carolina in convention
assembled as .delegate at large toi
the National convention?along I
I n
with Tillman, Heyward and
r
Latimer?this man is a Repnbli-j
can. So says Mr (Jrace.
While of course there is not h-1
ing to Mr Grace's silly and1 ^
malicious charges, their re-; f
iteration at every meeting is not' ^
only exceedingly annoying to Mr L
Rhett, but also places him atjei
a decided disadvantage before f
the voters who go out to hear y
the candidates discuss the issues {,
of the campaign. The time j]
allotted to each candidate is only
about twenty minutes and it intakes
at least half of this to
brush aside Mr Grace's charges C!
The other candidates?some of j V)
them at least?try to still further | y\
liau-iicap Mr Rhett by joining
n Mr Grace's attacks; so
:hat here we have the spectacle b<
)f the candidate who has a good hi
speech prepared for the cam- hi
laign?one that competent critics ~
1 1 -L- lL.,1 _J. | v
ui judge superior to mat ot uuj )f
his opponents?virtually tie- 1L
irived of his right to deliver it u?
jy having to explain a lot of dii
;ommy-rot utterly irrelevant to his
:andidacv for United States
senate. d?
South Carolinians are prorerbially
found of fair play and
vill not stand for such tactics cc
is aie employed by Mr Grace iu
lis desperate effort to defeat a clean
ind honorable citizen of his
J
iwn town, one of high ideals
ind staitiless character. v<

Yes, the weather has been pret- rt

If Candidate Blease is so ter- pi
lbly opposed to negro education tl
ivhy did he accept a position as
trustee of a negro college?
We have known some very J1
3rood people who care less for V

bell for their enemies. \

When a candidate for office
selects his private secretary before
the election, it's a pretty
sure sign he won't need one after
the primary. e
i.?
South Carolina's immigration 0
e
experiment has proved a costly tl
failure. If the legislature really r<
wants to save the State money |r'
it would be a good idea to start P
by abolishing this superfluous and
xpensive office.
Judge Alton B. Parker did
he gallant act recently by stoping
a team of runaway horses
nd rescuing two helpless felales
who were being dragged
nderneath the wrecked vehicle,
low unfortunate that he did
ot thus ccme come into the
ime-light four years ago.
The Columbia State has re>
rodneed from its files reports of
ampaign meetings several years
go describing ;i tilt between Mr
ilease and the preachers of Xew>erry,
in which the Senator came
fi second best. ft's cruel to
ake up all these things from
he dead ashes of the past against
, candidate who refers to the
teachers for a certificate of charter.
Candidate Grace swears that Canidate
Rhett?both of Charleston?
> not a Democrat. This is a
erious charge and if true Mr.
irace conlu have the State excutive
committee bar Mr. Rhett
rom the campaign. Why doesn't
Ir. Giace prefer his charges be:>re
Chairman ^ Jones and ask
liat Mrj Rh^'U - expelled from

nows ridiculous

Dter by ' playing upon prejudice,
[r. Grace has all the arts of
ie unscrupulous demagogue, but
te people of South Carelina have
ion fooled too often by men of
is stripe to take seriously his
at air diatribes.
