MORAL COURAGE.

Do we, as citizens Of a civilized, enlight-
ened aud free country, exhibit the moral
courage that is commensurate with the re-
quirements of our welfare as individuals
and as people?
Do the twolve men who constitute tho
Grand Jury Of every county, to whom is
eaoh year committed tho moral and sacred
trust of the peoples well-being, fulfil the
vows they assume, to find out and bring to
judgment every viola'or of the laws Of our
land that they possibly can?
Does every man realize that he is respons-
ible, not only for his own acts, but for tho
wrong doing of others, that he could r.

Does every man, with ill will to none, but
from a sense Of duty, use the strong arm Of
the law to suppress crime wherever found

duripg that time-sometimes with numbers
like We have tonight, often with less, aud
on one occasion with only two. But We had

South Caroline, March 13, 1922 He moved
to Mississippi in September 1867, and died
there February Is, 1890. He loved his profess

he practced il, reflected honor upon him.

alloviating the suffering of humanity, even
when there was no hope or prospect for earth

which clustered so many of the intellects of
our day and generation has "gonc to that
bourne from whence no traveller returns :"
his acts, his works, his life, are the monu-
ments that do him honor. His heart was as
tender rs q chld's. his mind as liberal as it
was far-roaching his spirit as mighty rs it
was just. lie has laid down the burden of
life and assumed tho higher and grander form
OF spiritual existence. His life is spread be-
fore us rs beautiful picture, from the con-
temptation of which we arise with purer
feelings, more charity to our fellowman, and
a more exalted opinion of mankind lie

Lieutenant Governor st tho recent conven-

Captain G. w. Shell, chairman, and others,
Executive Committee OF the Farmers
Association: -.
s. Notwithstanding waited reasonable
time for an official notification of tho action
of the. March Convention In placing my
name before the people as candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, aud not having re-
ceivcd such notice, deem it not improper
to address this communication to you.
While fully appreciate the unsolicited
compliment which has been paid me aud
desire to express thanks for this evidence OF
confidence, yet, l am satisfied that my name
was put forward under a nisappreheuson.
1t cannot be doubted that the purpose Of
the convention wss to place up n the ticket
men who were in full sympathy with the
| letter of the chairman Of the Executive
Committee Of The Farmers Association
| Captain Shelly in calling the convention
togcther-meu who fully endorsed the plat
form adopted, and who could and would
canvass the State upon the Issues therein
made.
| Without referring 10 any objections had
to the letter Of Captain Shell, or my views
as to the policy Of making nominations at
this time, it will be sufficient for me to say
that do not fully endorse the platform,
aud for this and other sufficient reasons

as required by the eleventh section Of the

In justice, therefore, to myself as woll as
in justice to the body whose executive you
arc, l beg leave to withdraw my name from
the ticket suggested. This action will also
relieve you of all embarrassment in subs,i-
tuting man who will represent the views
which prevailed in the convention.
1t is but proper for me to say hero that
am wholly identified with the agricultural
interests Of the State and am in full sym
pathy with the farmers in their efforts to
better their condition, and to this end am
heartily in favor of their taking an active
part in the control Of legislation, both Fed
ersl aud State. But all must admit that
honest differences of opinion rs to the
means and measures which will furnish tho
needed relief may we'll exist between men
ac.usted by the best motives and seeking
