GRESSEONAL DISTRICT,

LARGEST CROP OF CANDIDATES- 1

VOTE FOR LUMBER TARIFF. {
I
Thfe Sixth Congressional district of j
i SouthCarolinais also one of the "run- j
I ningest" localities of the State. It is
the largest district in area,and hence
m the average number of candidates
for Congress per acre is brought
V down,but this year as usual the total ]
Jr number of candidates is larger than
in any other district. It has more v
counties in it than any other district,
including Marlboro, Marion, Horry,
Darlington, Florence, Williamsburg,
k Georgetown and the wee little, fun
ny-looking <: ounty of Lee.
HB When Lea is a little older it will
begin to pr >duce candidates, too, or
^Bather those already budding will
^Blossom. Williamsburg and George own
are not much on the output of
^Hongressional candidates, albeit they
^^^the aspirations are there, too:

Nobody who knows him seriously

veil,the woods are full of them; not
'has-beens," but sure enough live

itogers, him they call "Tom," and P
V Hodges, "Phil," you know. From
tfarion we have Ben B Sellers and
fames Edwin Ellerbe, the "present
ncumbent." And betwixt these five,
;ake your choice. That's an average
>f only five-eighths of a candidate to
,he county,but I'll bet some of those
people down there before the cam3aign
is ovei, will think there are
ibout two pe^ acre?that is, if these
:ellows can succeed in getting the
people interested enough to know
vho are running.
Ellerbe is the centre of fire. They
ire all running against him,and natlrally
since he's in he has the advantage.
He is strongly intrenched

"Bull Works."
Now,the bull works," of which I
i
peak, are those which any man in,
ffice, with a good salary attached,
isually has, something of an organzation,
lots of office seekers and
ome who are under obligations par- j
icularly in the case of a Congress-:
nan, the rural free delivery carriers,
vho are generally friends of the man !
n Congress,and a secretary who gets'
[ good salary to keep up the touch j
vith the district. Every Congress- i
nan has these "bull works." But;
Sllerbe has perhaps a little more, in
hat there are some waters in his dis-!
rict and he is a member of the riv-;
rs and harbors committee of the j
louse. So in the regions round about

Pee Dee rivers and the Waccamaw
and in the vicinity of Georgetown
harbor there are people who
are his friends because he pulled your
Uncle Sam for an appropriation. No
matter that these other candidates
tell the people that they, too, could
have got the appropriations and done
something else besides, no matter
| that they intimate that they could
have got just twice as much for each
project, the folks say Eilerbe has already
got it, and being a member of
the rivers and harbors committee,he
[ is in position to get more. On the
j other hand,of course,there are those
I who say that Eilerbe did not get as
much as he might have got and these
are figuring on one of the other four.
| Real Statesmen.
Shere are some,too?but these are
"high-brows" and impractical men?
who do not consider that the getting
of a small appropriation is the only
reason for having a man in the Congress
of the United States. These
are inclined to take an interest in
real national questions. But these
? * ? Al
are not many, 1 trow, down in me
Sixth. Occasionally one of these
leaks up to Washingtpn, though,and
he goes back home to tell his friends
his impressions of just what weight
and prominence theicCongressman
has in Washington. These are some
such fellows as these in all the districts,
and, generally speaking, they
are a sort of hard proposition, too.
One National Question.
One national question is entering
to a more or less extent into the
campaign in the Sixth. This is because
of Ellerbe's vote for a duty on
lumber in direct opposition to the
declaration of the Denver platform
and in still more important opposition
to what the other candidatesexpect
to say are the interests of the
great mass of the people of the district.
There are some people in the
district who are interested in the
manufacture of lumber and these are
going to be Ellerbe's very staunch
friends; but there are others who
have lumber to buy and not to sell.
To these the four candidates will
make their appeals. To what extent
they will be successful remains to be
seen. Ellerbe will have abundant opportunity
to make his defense, and

The Atlantic Coast Line is con- j
structing about four miles of double i
track line from Weldon to Garys- ]
burg, N C, by elevating the track <
through the town of Weldon, commencing
about one mile south of the
present station. A large ptoportion ^
of it will be a continuous steel via- j j
duct 3,7UU feet long:, navmg con- t
crete abutments, piers and pedes- (
tals. The structure will be 90 feet c
above the ordinary level of the Roa- ,r
y
noke river, and there will be re- t
quired in its construction about
15,000 cubic yards of concrete and ;
two thousand tons of steel. There
will be an elevated passenger station
platform, connected by a covered
stairway with a passenger station to
be built on the surface level of the
Seaboard Air Line track. Baggage
and express will be conveyed to the
Atlantic Coast Line level by elevators.
By means of this viaduct all
grade crossings in the town of Weldon
will be avoided. The work involves
an entirely new line, but this
will in no wise affect the operation
of trains.- Wilmington Star,June 9.
