EDITORIAL NOTES.

The people of South Carolina owe
John T. Duncan a deep debt of graft.
tude. To him is due the exposure
of John Gary Evans's rascality in
connection with the bond deal and
the whiskey rebates. To him is due
the wide dissem nation Of the damn
ing record John Gary Evans has
made as State Senator and as Gov.
ernor. He faced Evans on every
stump and charged him before the
people with his rascality aud forced
the people TO realize what sort OF
man had occupied the Office of Gov
ernor for two years and aspired to
the Senatorship. He aroused the
people 10 a sense Of shame that so
unworthy creature filled the highest
Office in the gift of the State, and to
this awakening may be attributed at
least three iourths of tie votes cast
AGAINST Evans Duncan did the State
a great service aud his work should
be recognized aud admitted

THE PEOPLE DON'T WANT
EVANS

The people of the State have re
pudiated John Gary Evans; the sec
ond primary should relegate him to
retirement and oblivion where he
may enjoy his i'll gotten gains with
what satistactio. he can The bond

failure to clear bin self of the charges

by every circumstance connected
with the deal. was more than the ma.
jority of the people could stand
He has bees spewed forth, now let
him and his political aspirations be
trampled under foot, so that the
State will no longer stand dishonored
and disgraced in the eyes of the ma
ton by retaining in positions OF
honor and trust a man who is more
than suspected of dishonorlng and
disgracing the Gubernotorlal chrlr.
Why should every citizen cast his
ballot against John Gary Evans :
Because he mas shown his unfitness
and incapacity for any position OF
l. or t,,,,t Rocanco ba uSnd the
power vested in him to oppress those
who differed with him politically.
Because he forced the metropolitan
police system on the City of Charles

aud did not support him. The ma
jo,ity of Conservatives in the State
did not vote at all, and Of those who
did vote majority supported Dun
can The defeat of Evans in the first
primary was accomplished by Re
formers, and his defeat in the second
must be accomplished BY those Ke-
formers who prefer man who has
never been suspected Of dishonesty
to one who stands convicted by the
strongest circumstantial evidence,
which he cannot cont.oveTt and dares
not challenge. The Reformers OF the
State repudiated Evans on August
25th and they must either utterly
repudiate him on september 9Th or
endorse him as their chosen repre-
sentative, covered as he is with dis
honor and suspicion Individually
we do not admire Earle at al and
shall support him only because he ls
the better man OF
the two from which we are
forced to make choice. If the
Reform faction prefers Evans as a
representative, we'll and good they
have the right to a choice and the
majority OF the votes to confirm it;
but we also have right to
choice of a representative OF the
State and we can but do
what we can in support OF our
choice. If Earle is nominated he
will go to the Senate as the repre-
Of the State Of South
Carolina, while Evans would go in
the event of election as the choice
and representative of the Reform
faction.

to give the diSpensary insurance 10

against scores of citizens, who had

Evans have already raised the cry
that the nomination Of Joseph IL
Earle for tie U. s. Senate will be
the death knell of the Reform faction,
and on this plea alone will make the
fight in his behalf. This shows to
what desperate straits they have been
reduced. They know that seventy
five per cent, at least, of the votes

The editor Of the Sumter Herald
has evidently permitted his devotion
to the local page Of The Duly Item
to cause him to neglect the editorial
columns of The Daily Item and of
The Watchman and ISouthron as well.
With an eagerness to criticise the
editor of this paper he hides behind
his ignorance to accomplish his pur'
pose and succeeds only in making
statement that is false His carping
criticism is as follows:
.eThe defeat Of Hon Aitamont Moses by
DR.. Stokes in this county is the subject OF
great regret by the Item in an editorial the
day after the primary. Some commendatorv
words are saiG of Mr. Moses as public off,
cial and pri7a.e citizen. This is all very
nice. hu, i; is very much like placing flowers
oa a mans grave after he is dead. The Item,
aud the Watcdnsaa and Soathron, both of
whom have the same editor, did rothing 80
ia, AZ we know, TO advance the interests Of
Nr. Moses before the election. in view OF
this f4ct such ine words were better left up.
said"
The following from Tile Daily Item
of July lst is sufficient answer we
believe, although other quotations
could be made:
"Hon Al:amont Moses. who has
entered the race against DR.. j. W
