Shameful Practices.
Abbeville Press and Banner.

Abbeville Press and Banner.
We learn that in some counties of
South Carolina the candidates are
being mulcted by unscrupulous peo,
pie who carry around subscription
papers for objects worthy enough in
themselves, but in which the candi-
date may not be specially interested.
The carrying of subscription paper
may imply one or two things: That
the recipients OF the candidates favor
will sell him their votes for the
money extorted from him, or that the
people will vote against the candl-
date if he refuses to accede to their
demands for money. The methods
and plans of the highwayman are
honorable and respectable when CON-
pared to the hypocritical people who
would thus extort money from the
candidate. When q candidate is
forced to give money from fear, or if
be gives money in the hope of re-
ceiving votes thereby, somebody is
corrupt, aud somebody deserves the
contempt of honest men. 1t is
cowardly to combine againsta a candi-
date to extort money, and the gen.
eral public should vote for no candi-
date if it be ascertained that he has
attempted to buy votes. Let some
voter at each public meeting ask
each of the speakers if he has sub
scribed or otherwise given money to
influence bis election. If any candi-
date should be discovered giving
money during the campaign to
churches or benevolent purposes out
side of his own church, let the public
estimate such as cne in which cor
ruption is the foundation. No can
didate who spends money in the
canvass should be elected. If the
Offices are for sale, only the rich will
receive the honors.
Although it is said such disgrace
full condition exists in some Of the
counties, yet We are glad to say that
no such reprehensible practice pre-
walls in Abbeville county. Any man
can be a candidate in Abbeville
county without fear of meeting a
highwayman with a dirty paper
which is designed to force money
from him, and he need fear no
threats of boycotts if he does not
surrender his last dollar to an un-
considerable beggar.
Another shameless practice in
other counties which meets with no
favor in this county is that of poking
around religious meetings that they
never did and never would attend ex-
cept during campaign years and to
get votes. Pious and good men in
this county suspect mans motives
at once when he begins to stick his
face in among Christian worshippers.
Christian people and the church
should resent any effort on the part
of the candidate to use the church,
the Sunday schools, OF other religious
meetings as stepping stones to po-
litical preferment.
"Ye cannot serve two masters"
II a candidate would prostitute the
holy precincts Of the church in ad-
vancing his chances for office, let the
Christian people mark him down as
hypocrite. When politician wants
to mix other peoples religion with
his politics, look out. A wolf is
among you.

Able Address to the People.

Able Address to the People.
To the Democratic voters of South
Carolina:
/ have the honor to place my name
before you as candidate for the
office of United States Senator, the
highest Office in the gift of the peo-
pie of our State. Controlled by the
requirem ants of duty, I cannot leave
the bench to go upon the hustings,
and I know that you will excuse my
;, absence from the political meetings
now being held and that you will
= permit me to adopt this mode OF
communication. If I should receive
your favorable consideration, I can
only promise to do my duty. My
record is before you and it is for you
to determine whether or not l am
deemed worthy of this high honor.
In State politics, I belong to no
clique or faction other than the
Democratic party. I occupy the
same position that t b, fairness and
fidelity to the cause of Anglo-Saxon
supremacy has always compelled me
to occupy, and that is the majority
must rule. When the verdict has
been rendered, all strife and conten-
ton must cease and at the general
ell ction all Democrats should stand
together and work together for the
common veal. To this end / have
used my best efforts to reconcile the
differences which have existed among
our people, and I shall continue upon
this linz. I have always deprecated
any unjust censure or abuse of our
public officials. They are the serv-
ants of the people and should act
so to be above suspicion, and
while they should always be held to
a strict accountability, no one should
be brought before the bar OF public
opinion and condemned before being
heard In seeking your suffrages,
shall not descend to the low plane
of vituperation or abuse. Success
by the use of such methods is less to
be desired than failure without them.
now beg and invite your attention
to a short statement of my views on
the important national questions now
being agitated.
1. The monetary question over
shadows all others and its determina-
ton will result in the return of peace
and prosperity, if truth and justice
prevail; or in ruin and bankruptcy,
if the blind worshippers Of a single
gold standard should succeed. Let
us return to the money of our fore
farthers, the money of the Constitu-
tioD, the money that made this
country the greatest under the sun;
and let gold and silver be both
coined freely and without limit at a
ratio of sixteen to one as money OF
ausl redemption, with equal legal
tender power, without waiting for
international agreement. If other
nations fall into line, so much the
better, but, if not, this nation should
occupy the position Of independence
justified by its power and required
by the needs of it's people. [ do not
approve of the financial policy re.

ernment in SUR endering is option

Died, Dec. 2, 1896, eldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. w. Bartlett.
Dear Friends, know how impossible
it is TO silence your grief with words
The heart pleads for utterance in teare.
and let it speak thus. We bow in sor-
row of the taking of your little one,
feeling that while the ripened fruit may
be gathered, 1t seems cruel that the bud
should be taken before it has even op-
portunity to unfold its blossom. But in
nature fruits fall, and so do blossoms
and buds. In the ways of kind Nature
this is perhaps best, and in taking from
our arms this little one we will try and
accept the cross and bear it, believing
that the bud will yet blossom and bear
fruit in the angel land, where the spirit
of this pure child has so early flown.
From A FRIEND.
