A CARD.

To THE KEowEE CouRIER: desire, through
your paper, to contradict report which has
been put out to tho effect that had voted
and used my influence in the Legislature for
big pay-that is, for eight dollars per day.
If those who have put this report in circula.
ton againstme will only take tho pains to
search tho record for tho truth, they will find
that invariably advocated and voted for the
reduction oftbe por diem of members to the
minimum amount. During the session of
1877, the House was forced into a compro.
mise Of $500 for tn Q regular session OF 1910
and $4O0 for the extra session of 1877, because
the Radicals bad had control of tho Senate
and had issued pay certificates for 5000. The
state,of facts which forced them into th;s
compromise was brought about bv n Last
effort Of the Radicals for largo nav. Tn tb;s
struggle tho journals will show that T votad

advocated and voted for the bill to reduce
she per dleih OF members to threo dollars. and
tailed to hare the bill passed simply because

70 think and vote as did. Thirty. six Demo.
Gratis voted with me- in favor of tho bill, while

defeated it, While may have committed
some errors In common with othor members.
am willing at oil times to stand or fall upon
my record in tho last Legislature, both on the
subject Of low pay for mombers and all other
SUBJECTS which affect the welfare Of the
people. Yours, 60.

Economical Government.

Government, with its train of officials, is
essential to the peace and order of society.
Without it there could be no security to life,
liberty or property, and no progress in wealth
and prosperity. While this is true, every
dollar expended in fees or salaries to officers
that dan bo dispensed with, or in extravagant
pay to necessary olicers, Is wrong in principle
and Injurious to the public welfare. 1t is
taxing from tho taxpayer capital, which would

Every body dssires good government, but the

Candidates.

Tho Newberry Herald, of last week, speak.
ing of the number Of candidates in several
counties, puts down Oconee at 10; Union a,
20; Greenville at %; Pickens ut 35; EdeeGold
AZ, and Lexington at 43. These arc the
number publicly announced through the
county papers. Since that time the list 10
Oconee has increased to rs, and we ore still
nearly two months removed from the primary
election. While this is true, We are glad to
record that we have no independent oandio
dates in this county with no prospect of any,
and further, that so far as we know there arc
mono in the State. The disposition of our
people everywhere seems to bo to stand TO-.
gether and to support the nominees Of the
Democratic party, whether mado by conyenr
tions or primary elections. While this prime
ciple proyails no danger of ultimate success
can result from a wide field of candidates,
while the people enjoy a greater latitude to
select from.
We are glad to say, too, that to this time
the canvass in our county has been pleasant
and entirely free from personal feeling. We
trust this spirit will continue and that when
the primary election shall decide between
the conflicting claims Of rival candidates all
will acquiesce and give an undivided support
to the State and County tickets. The unity
of the party is at this time of the highest
importance, and we sec in tho pleasant can
vass now progressing with us sure harbin,
ger Of unity and success. Let US all strive to
keep up the present kindly feeling and pre-
pare to poll heavier Democratic vote in
Oconee next November than we did in the
great campaign of 1876.
