P. H. STOLL,
Tbe Next Solicitor of tbe Third Circuit.
SENDE. D. SMITH TO THE SENATE.
Some Good Reasons Why He Should
Represent South Carolina.
i Some of the politicians have
charged that Hon E D Smith has
used the Southern Cotton associatian
as a means of riding into office}
but the thinking man, the farmer?
the real producer of wealth and even
the business man must admit that
the work done by E D Smith through
out the South and in South Carolina
particularly, has brought more
money to the farmer, the merchant,
the doctor, the lawyer and every
other class than that of any other
man who has espoused the cause of
the South. His work has brought
results: the increased price of cotton
which Mr Smith and his associates
are largely responsible for
bringing about, has made the people
of South Carolina?all of them
more prosperous than they have
ever beeu before.
Mr Smith attended the University
of South Carolina and is an
alumnus of Wofford college. He
received his Master's degree at Yauderbilt
University, the great Methodist
institution of the South.
He comes of distinguished ancestors,
being a brother of the lamented
Bishop A Coke Smith.
Mr Smith is an orator of national
repute and would be able to hold
bis own with the "giants" of the
Senate.

With Smith in the United States
Senate, South Carolina would again
come into her own and be heard
from by the rest of the country. Mr
Smith has a world of energy; he
would not only hold his own on the
floor of the SeDate, but his energetic
