The story cf thi. monument Il n mo.t
unusual and iuteresting one. Orr's South
Carolina Rifles won the unique ,distinction Of
having lost more men in the war for the

which led the North, lost only Fer cent If
hers.
Orrs Rifles WAS commanded by the csle-
bratsd James L. Der, with Lieutenant Colo

Colonel Ledbettsr was . giant, being in

The Man for the Office.

Mn. EDIToR Some of us Farmers of
Union County believe that the office should
always seek tho man, and not the man the
office; therefore we suggest to the votors of
Union County the name of Col. /. G. MoKis-
sick, for the Legislature. He is and always
has been friend to tho farmers. lie has
been faithful public servant, in both peace
and war, and We can do no better than TO
elect him TO represent our county in the
Legislature, in case he will accept that
honor st our hands. FARMKR.

Mr.. Blaine has written a letter to
the Maine Republican Executive
Committee on the issues involved in
the national contest. He thinks the
greatest issue is the tariff; the sec.
ond is reciprocity. and the third, the
currency issue. He is squarely in
line, of course, with the Republican
platform on these issues. His letter
Is an able one, from a Republican
point OF view, but the following tariff
plank in the Democratic platform,
which he uses, shines like u diamond
in sand bank:
We denounce the Republican pro-
lection as fraud upon the labor OF
the great majority Of the American
people for the benefit of a few. We
declare it a fundamental principle OF
the Democratic party that the Fed.
eral government has no constitutional
power to impose and collect tariff
duties except for the purpose of reve-
nue. only. We demand that the col
lection of such taxes be limited to the
necessities of the government when
honestly and economically admins
tered.
1t is also noticeable fact that Mr..
Blaine studiously avoids making any
allusion whatever TO President Har-
rison, directly or indirectly. He also
states that he will make no speeches
in this campaign.
