ent movement in South Carolina A curious
fact ebOut it ia that the pamphlet of Colonel
Cash, from which the original extract had
been taken. has been published broadcast
through S Juti Carolina, yet editor Dawson
does not feel disposed to call Colonel Cash to
account for it, but does assault the poor editor
who r publishes an extract from it printed in
a Northern paper. Colonel Cash is not the
kind of q man, as his recent duels have
shown, TO be called to account v it'll impuuity.
He is running as the anti Bourbon candidate
for Congress in one OF the South Carolina
districts. The Congressional Republican
Committee have not yet decided whether or
not they will recognize him.
