The deceased was reared in Manning and here learned the printers' trade. After serving faithfully on the newspapers here lie went to Kingstree. Florence and other towns. He later moved to Alabama, and worked his way up in his calling until at the time he was stricken with the malady which took him off, he was editor and proprietor of , two newspapers: The Sulligent Standard published in the town in which he lived, and The Winfield Watchman. He was married January 10 of this year to Miss Addie May Williams of Baxley, (ieorgia.

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES Of Sixth District Address Williamsburg Voters. The Sixth Congressional district campaign meeting took place at the court house here last Thursday. The meeting was attended by about 200 people, mostly citizens of the town. Hon J E Ellerbe of Marion and A L Hamer, Esq, of Bennetts-1 viile were the only speakers. Con-1 gressman J W Ragsdale wired County Chairman P H Stoll, who presided over the meeting, that he had been ueavoidably detained at Washington, j or>a T-onrrottoH hio innhilitv to be I awu ...w ? ? __ i present at the meeting. Mr Rags- j dale stated also that he would join ! the campaign party later. The salient features of the meet-1 ing were Ellerbe's scathing denunciation of Ragsdale's record, and Hamer's unequivocal declaration of his opposition to Bleaseism. Mr Hamer was the first to -peak. His address was short and to the a Kriof ronid sit Ptfh | [JUIlIt. lie ^arv a uiiv*, w..v.v.. . of his early life and struggles, of, the hardships his mother had under- j gone in behalf of her children upon the death of his father. It was to honor and glorify his mother that made him ambitious to become a Representative in the United States Congress so that he might be able to do something for the good of his fellowmen. He thought it was time for the people of South Carolina to wake up ana consider matters as they really are. Politics had reached a low ebb, and something should be done to replace our State in the esteem and respect of her sister States. Mr Hamer said he was in favor of aid from the Federal Government for drainage and good roads, liberal appropriations for rivers and harbors improvement, extension or the rural mail service, the regulation of corporations by strict, though conservative, legislation. He wants better banking and currency laws, so that the farmer can borrow on his securities for a period of nine months instead of six. as is provided in ine new currency iaw. Mr Hamer never once referred to the public record of his opponents in the race. Mr Ellerbe prefaced his speech by thanking the people of old Williamsburg for their loyalty; they had stood by him and given him a ma- j jority two years ago when the vo- 1 ters of the Sixth Congressional district had swapped him off for a new horse, but that the new horse had behaved badly?run away and kicked out of harness?and ' now they wanted the old horse back again. He was glad to come before them again as a candidate for his old job. Briefly referring to the charges that he had staid drunk all the time during his last term in Congress and that he'had been on a disgraceful debauch in Georgetown two years ago, he declared them false, though admitted that he had ! drunk whiskey and made mistakes i on account of its use, but that before he decided to again ^nter the race for Congress he made up his mind to quit drinking. He had quit, he said, and intended never to drink i again. Mr Ellerbe emphasized the fact that he was not in the face for fun. Why was he there, and answering his own question, said he was there because Ragsdale was the most dismal failure of any man who had ever represented any district in i South Carolina. Referring to Mr Ragsdale's telegram announcing his inability to be 1 present, Mr Ellerbe said that Ed j Smith, Whaley, Johnson and Lever , were absent from Washington, making campaign speeches in their respective districts and it is very . strange that everybody could leave Washington but "Little Willard," ' and wondered when he heoflmp so important. He frequently referred to Mr Ragsdale as the "great promiser" and declared that he had never made good a single prom.se ever given by him. As a Congressman, he said, Mr Ragsdale had been a flat failure; that he had not secured the appropriation of a single dollar for his district, and that.as he was so thoroughly out of harmony with the ad-1 ministration ana tne vxmnress, ne j could not secure appropriations. In this connection the speaker said Mr 1 Ragsdale had been denied admission ; to the White House for consultation. He did not say that Ragsdale had j been black-listed,as had been reported, he said. In the year before he was defeat" I ed by Ragsdale, Ellerbe said he had secured $209,0(X).00 appropriation for rivers and harbors. Mr Rags-, dale had not secured a cent. In a speech at Dillon two years ago he j promised the people there that if j they would send him to Congress he | would secure an appropriation for j their new postoffice building and push it so that one would be able to receive his mail from the new government building two years hence. "Did he do it?" asked the speaker with some force, and added, "No,1 he didn't do it, and he never secur- 1 ed one cent for postoffices in the whole district, and he had broken the record for doing nothing, and that is why I am running, gentlemen, and why you are going to send me back to Congress to represent you," said Mr Ellerbe. |! Both candidates received a most respectful hearing and were liberal- ' ly applauded as each concluded his ' speech. ?? ? ?

Harrj Nearly Opposite the Postofl W N FREEMAN ELECTROCUTED, i Young Electrician Grabs Live Wire at Blshopvllle. Bishopville, July 29:?Mr W N Freeman of Eagle Rock, N C, a young electrician who came here about two weeks ago to accept a position with the city, was electrocuted today. He was told by one of the night policemen that one of the arc lights on Main street did not burn last niuht and he went to fix it. It seems that the light did come low enough for him and he caught hold of the wires above it to pull it lower and was instantly kill-1 ed. The young man was said to be thoroughly competent and knew that the day current was on. His body was shipped to his home this afternoon.' Mr Freeman was well known in Kingstree, having assisted in the installation of the electric lighting system here about eighteen months ago. He has frequently visited Kingstree since and left here less than two weeks ago to enter upon the duties connected with his new position at Bishopville.
