JOHN A. FANT.
In our columns tliis w? t ic will l-c
found t lie resignation ??{' .7 oh it .\.
Fant as Mayor of lhe city of I iiinr.
We regret this step l?y Mr. Fant. hut
we know of our own knowledge that lie
lias been contemplating it for some
time. We know win n the State
medical association met in ( uion that
he consulted some of the ne>st eufnent j
physicians of that hr.dv on the subject i
of his hca'th. Mayor i 'ant litis {
probably been all in til! the 1 e<t i
Mayor Union has ever had. lie has '
been careful and tainstuking. en '
i
sci cut ions in his dealings with all '
parties brought before him. lie ha* .
always endeavored to enforce the law j
TTJie understood if. irrespeetive >! j
persons. lie has succeeded in performing
his many duties, and i- a j
more popular man today than he was j
? ]...? ..,1 \f.
Mayor Faint is one ofnur mo-t p itii-;
otic and gcner:<us eitb.ciis, and ial
ways willing to do his j ast in any- '
thing of public nature.
lie is just in the prime ?>f life and
we sincerely hope that ho may have I
a long and useful one. Mr. Fan b i
? i
a-gentleman, the better you Know
him the more you appitelate him. I
He is true to his convictions an I true
to his friends. 1 le is one of our leading
merchants, largely ihtcrc.-ocd in our
cotton mills and < !1 mills, a dir. ctor
in the Merchants and Planter* Bank,
and president of the 1'nion Building
and Loan Association. lie is nndoubtedly
one of our m?.*l us< ful iitizens,
and in all of bis dealings a>
private individual or as public oilie* r
liis name lias never Leen be-uuirched. !

the only .speaker.-*, McLauiin iiia.lv |
a very sensible ami decent -peeeh. ;
Jihy replied in rather an abusive ami ,
rough speech, and stirred up e< n-i i( r ;
able excitement. It seem- like tlej
whole plan of the campaign i-* to siirj
up strife which is now abeut allayed ^
for the first time since 1' W*- ,
arc tired of such ami there is tin 1
in it for anybody but the politicians.

The general impression sceir.s to he i
tliat thero is a political deal or combine
of some kind, hut what it is has
not been learned. The meetings at 1

\
SENATOR McLAURlN.
We trust Senator MeLuurin will b
bo cool ami collected in his v
speachcs on the hustings, as he would e
want to be, and pitch his speeches on g
that high plane unknown to such men 11
as 1 rb\, Kvans, Duncan et al. From n
the very lirst meeting ot the cam- f
paign it is evident that Irby wishes h
to drag the debate to the lowest depth ii
possible, and attempt to excite Senator
McLaurin and urou c his passion
to such a pitch that wiil cause the
loss of his head temporarily and "
thereby gain some points to liis ad- u
vantage. We advice Senator Me...
?
Laurin against this. Let Irhy use n
his epithets and abuse if he chooses. 0
We know it is hard for a born South r
Carolinian to permit of abuse in his ^
hearing, tut it is noli sometimes f?r ^
one to do it. Therefore we would ^
say to Senator McLaurin if Irby eon- 1
tinues his course of abuse as inaugu- '
ated at Sumter. To treat him with 0
silent contempt, or if he eontinucs to 0
allude to it. do so in a mild mannered '
way, opoligetical, as it may seem, 0
and it will be a worthy crowning of 1
bis ambith n. Evans too wi'l come 1
fort I: next. lut lie can be silenced
ina little while if rebates are mentioned.
We wish every success to Sen- ^
ator MeLanrin and n?ay lie win his !l
majority in the llrst race as Tint
Timks expects hiia to do. 1

A VACANCY AT THE CITADEL. |
I 11ion County is entitled to send ,,
another beneficiary cadet to tlio j
Citadel this "Fail. We hope that
some worthy young man will win ]
this up] ointim lit. Fome young man
whose j nnnts are really too poor to (
semi him there, and one who las i
el.aiaeter and Lackhonc enough to
eatrv h:s part of the contract out
with the s'ate when he completes his couiseat
that institu'ion. A man f
that fails to carry out his contract 1
with the State will fail to do so '
with individuals. The parents of a ]
hov who send him t) the Citadel, as j
a hcnelieiary, when he is not en- .
litlcd to go, start him out in life <
with a lio npon his lips, 'and are to 1
say the least of it, treating their 1
IVi'ow c'tizens tmfuiily. In our i
judgment the straw that will possibly <.
break the ( a in | heli's lack with the s
citadel :< the sending of beneficiaries t
there who are not entitled to go and 1
their failure to fulfil their part of 1
the contract, when they graduate, t
