Hon. T. C. McRae.

tle aOONe-HA Hcd SSheiS"ah, AAO" Tho.. c. M cRae, of this county, an nounces himself as candidate for Congress, to fill the vacancy In this, the Third district.
 MT. McRae though young man yet, has attained high reputation as an effective, eloquent and sue cessful lawyer. As true Demo- crat and leader in his party, he Is we'll known in all this section, and we might say in the whole state. In 1876 he was elected to the Leg islature from this county, and ably and honor ably represented 1t. In 1880 he acted:as Presidential elec- tor for Hancock and English, for this, his native State.- In 1882 he was candidate for con cress from the state at large, and went into the nominating conven- ton with more votes than either one of his two principal compeu- tors, c. R. Breckinridge and Judge Mansfield, but after a number of ballots had been cast, he withdrew his name in order to secure harmo- nv and break the deadlock, when Breckinridge was immediately elec- ted, and, in many eloquent speech. es. Mir. McRae stpmped the South ern portion of this district to help elect him. His unselfsh patriotism loyalty to party and valuable ser vices, were loudly applauded all over the State. Tom McRae is our fellow citizen and we are proud of him. He is in every sense of the word a self-made man. He was born and reared In Columbia county, this state. When about sixteen years of age he came 10 Falcon in this county, and went 10 school. When about twenty-one he came to Rosston, then the county seat of the county, and be- gan the practice oflaw. When the county site was changed to Pres colt, he came here, where he has since lived. Before beginning the practice of law, he borrowed mon- ey from Mir. Wm. Atkinson, of this county, and completed his educa- ton in the law department of the Washington and Lee University of Virginia, which money he very soon afterward paid back, principal and interest. Since entering this profession he has stuck lo it with diligence-has al ways been successful and is to-day in good circumstances. A majori- ty of the papers in this district have come out for hlm, and there is every indication that he will re- ceive the nomination and be cleo ted to Congress.
 We have taken occasion hereto fore, in advocating him as our choice for the place, to speak of him as a true Democrat, as a pa- triotic worker, an able, conscien- tious and pure man, and it is un. necessary to at length reiterate the same, as the following very com plimentary and meritorious words, from different newspapers in the district, prove that they too recog- nize in him the proper man for the high and honorable position; we have heretofore published many favorable comments from some of them that does not appear in this issue:
 HON. T. c. MCRAR seems to be the coming man for the seat in Congress made vacant by the election of Hon. J. K. Jones % the Senate.-Forest City News.
 A majority of the newspapers in the third district support Hon. T. c. McRae for COngress.-Tsxar, kama Independent.
 HON. T. c. NoRAE, of Nevada county, is mentioned among the candidates for Congress from the 3rd District. There is not in the State man more worthy or bet ter qualified, and that district would do itself and the State cred it by sending him.--H arrison Boone county) Times.
 WE don't live in the Third con gressional district, but we can't re- frain from again mentioning the fact that Tom McRae is about the best material for congressman in all the broad land. It is high time that we were bringing our young
