W. lolberl uf Ninety-Sin, 5, C. who is our State Chairman and National' Committeeman f\or South Carolina, and being well assisted by the lamented Dr. J. H.. Goodwin and others, to the/ dire detriment of the Republican party in our iair state. One of our leading preachers played prominetly in giving' to us a stone when we asked brea^, and a serpent when we saked for meat?all to the downfall and further death of our party. On Friday. JnrYe 21. it is to nvu regret that ,Rev. Robt.'W. Jenkins, oI Eastover. S. C.. was named by Mr, Jos. W. Tolbert as our county chair, man without consulting the committeemen of this county which is gross; Iv wronc in its entiretv. Whv did Mr. Tolbert choose and name Rev, R. W. Jenkins? Now since iHknow a ffcw facts and from my past knowledge of both oi hem, I will attempt to explain; First Rev. Jenkins has never differed with Mr. Tolbert' whether he was defend, ing the rigKFor defending the wrong Second. Rev. Jenkins is one oi was told qnd "no" when he was tpk by "Boss" Tolbert. Third. No one ever knows how 01 where the Rev. Jenkins stands on anj political issue until he speaks to Mr Tolbert. You who have known th< "Rev. R. W. Jenkins in alt-the man: years he has been attending Republi can conventions wil admit that he ha: never advanced one tanigble though "?only to look^wise and-aet othorwisi to tne uplift of no one. . I would rather reach in the gravi of the dead of men who were ser viceable and true and tried,* and cal the dead Spirit of the lament Jos. S Collins or the honest-hea?rted~-Lewi C. Scott, who have been buried year ago than to use the living silver i tongued- Robert W. Jenkins who i a man and a preacher who has mad no record of his own. Or give m a William Dendy or a Dr. Jos. A. Co1 lins, or a Louis N. Scott uf Easluvei or a S. J. Dunlap from the Sandhill and many others of this type who wil stand as men every day and ever; where in the independence of solitud to give a heart's expression.
