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.

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.
