always given him credit for being sincere
and honest and our faith i'll his sincerity
aud honesty has been only Intensified by
his open and manly statement that he has
been del.ded and that the sea e. have fallen
from his eyes. That reform as illustrated
by our present administration is simply a
conceit with which tD catch votes 1t re-
qnires the nerve of hero 10 ACKNOWLEDGES
that we are wrong and that We are mistaken
and that our judgment has been in error
and we wee me MIR. Jordan u our Way Of

honest men in this county, C"ni State tool
who, like Mr.. Jordan have been cunScicu-
tiousy following the reform movement and
have been looking closely for ref.rm and
like Mr.. Jordan have failed to find it, For
such men we have not word Of rcproach
nor the slightest tingc uf bitterness They
have cried for bread and received stone
ana they fairly grcan beneath their burdens
Ihey have our sympathy, but we reserve
our contempt for the demngoguc The lighr

almost day. These men who have lcen
patiently waiting for the promised reform
are doing some very serious thinking now
and the more they think the less they Will

is less blind m!atuliion AID devotion to
these deccittu and fplsc champions than

VAN TO RUN
NAsuINGToN, March al have Just seen
n card published in The NcWS and Courier,
from the Hon. ID 4. J. Sullivan. announc-
ing his withdrawal from the race in the first
Congressional District. The publication of
this card, az we'll rs reports that have been
circulated in South Carolina, to the effect
that promised him to keep Dr. Stokes
out of the race, and the further fac, that
some time ago while | was at home in Lau-
rcns a report WAS pub ished in the -Ncws and
Courier that | had ,elegrnphed for Mr.. Sui
livan to come TO LaurcuS to get him TO run
for Congress in the First District cOmpeis
me to say that have had no talk or com.
munication with Mr.. Sullivan upon this sub
iect since he left Washington some time ago
MIR. Stokes was nominated for Congress at
SummervlIle. while Mr. Sullivan was here,
and upon learning it, the latter announc ce 1
to me and others that he would not be n
candidate. He left me fully impressed with
that idea, and Io man was more surprised
than | was, when he announce his inten-
ton 10 run, which he folio we'd up by
frequent visits to, and conferences in Co'um-
bia. with which the public must be familiar.
In reference &c the Lturcns incident, i
will say that there is not word of truth in
that report. lie came, TO my house after
having teegraphcd FROM Charleston, asking
my permission to see me at my home in
Laurens, to which | consented.
In conclusion wish 10 say, and | hope
that every honest newspaper that has pub
lished these reports viii do me the justice
10 publish this letter, that | never promised
Mr.. Sullivan or any one else to keep Mr..
Stokes from running Mt any time. or asked,
encouraged or advised Mr.. Sullivan to ruu
for Congress in that Congressional District.

in the country, right here in our midst.
We visited the Mill last Tuesday, the frs,
time in many weeks, and were more than
gratiicd at witnessing almost the starting of
the first machine and the first work done
by it. The first three bales of cotton had

Mr.. Hicks, the courteous MANAGER of the
Mill, although very busy at the time. spared

would be in full operation, but they were

in the State.
Without pretending to be a competent
iudge Of the most iudicous expenditures

present time the whole management of the
Mil has been upon strictly economic busi-
