MrS. Lease and Evans.
From the Columbia Record. ]

It is evident that Governor Evans
made a grave mistake in declaring
for direct tax to meet government
expenses. In no single instance dur
ing the campaign has he disclosed
such evident unftness for the posi-
ito W lich he seeks to secure. Had
he ever read the debates in Congress
over the last de nand for direct taxa
ton, he ne yer would have taken such
position. Mr.. Stevens, who had
charge of the bill, made the plain
statement that each State would be
called upon for its proportion of the
amount demanded, in the ratio of its
population to the entire population
as shown by the last census, and that
this amount must be levied and col
lected from the real estate only. He
cited where and when the courts had
made such a decision.
Roscoe Conkling declared against
the bill because it would rob the
farmer for the benefit of the monied
classes. With these facts, where he
should have known them, he must
have been grossly ignorant upon the
subject or has undertaken to start a
''new-evanger' of his own in that
State. Wha is known as the single
tax theory, as advocated by Mrs.
Lease, Jerry Simpson and others, is
founded on the same idea of direct
taxation upon real estate only. The
per capita tax for government eI-
penseS is at the present time about
81 and on the increase. In South
Carolina the entire stock of loanable
funds, which includes all money used
by the people, amounts to only SIG
and is growing less. Now, with this
direct tax it would only require two
visits from the federal tax collector
to wipe out the entire cash capital Of
the State. As we stated recently,
our share Of government expenses
would be $10,000,000, which means an
annual tax of $111.11 on each $1,000
of real estate. Let every man who
owns a dollars worth Of real estate
consider this matter carefully. II
we are to elect man to the Senate
who advocates such doctrine, let US
do so with a full knowledge of all the
consequences. Mrs. Lease and Jerry
Simpson and their followers advocate
this enormous tax on real estate in
order to break up individual owner
ship in land and force the country
into State socialism. Does Mr..
Evans advocate for the same pur-
pose? In fact is Mr.. Evans a Demo
crat or Socialist? Let US know the
facts.

The sudden illness of Senator Nc
Laurin at Yorkville was great shock
to his friends throughout South Caro-
lima, but to US it was no surprise.
The Senator was not well man when
the can paign opened in Sumter, and
had he consulted his individual in
terests, he would have gone home
Immediately after the Sumter meet
ing, in fact, he was advised 10 90 so.
But be felt it his duty to make every
point, aud as is characteristic of the
man, in discharging duty he does
not do it in a perfunctorY way; his
whole heart is thrown into the effort,
this, together with the heat, change
of water, and toe mental strain neces-
sary to keep up with his opponents
who seemed to have been bent On de-
featipg him, and to do so, their most
harassing weapon was misrepresenta-
ton. McLaurin is naturally strong
man physically far beyond the aver
age man, but for this he could not
have stood up as long as he did. We
sincerely hope that an all wise Provi-
dence will spare him for many years
to come.

The idea of Doctor Strait being
put up to run after and annoy Sena-
tor McLaurin. He should stay at
home and save his shoe leather. 1t
will never do for him to wear out his
pants in Washington and his shoes
at home; it will break the Tomato
Fig Syrup Company, which was
thrust into his financial arms to nurse
and bring up. No, Doctor, You have
great responsibility upon you;
think OF it, you have a syrup if Vel
shooken before tooken will make hair
grow on a cats tongue, stralehten
kinks out OF nigger's hair, make q
black man white and bring bacl

Irby claims that he wears no mans
collar. His Senatorial record, how
ever, shows that be wore collar with
Murphy's brand upon it. Well, the
representative of the Troy manufac-
turers of collars and cuffs had valise
full! of collars with him in Washing
ton and if he gave Irby one, it did
not inconvenience him. Murphy is
a splendid fellow, he lends money at
four per cent. to Senators and he
does not take a mortgage, either.
Oh! Murphy is awfully clever.

In another column is a commupi-
cation from Hon. J. E. Ellerbe, candi-
date for Congress, also a certificate
from the Marion County Democratic
Executive Committee, and above all,
q high testimonial from his neighbors.
The people among whom man
spent his life, with whom be played
in childhood, those with whom be
went to school, those with whom he
worshipped in his church, those with
whom he transacted business and
those with whom he worked in poll
tics, ought to know him we'll, they
tell our readers over their own sigma
lures that Mr.. Ellerbe will do to
trust. When a man can go before
the people as J. E. Ellerbe has done,
making campaign on high and
honorable plane it ought not be
necessary for him to have to prove
himself innocent of any charges that
may follow on behind him, but in
this instance those who have been
using unfair methods to accomplish
Ellerbe's defeat have laid their plans
so ingeniously that unsuspecting peo-
pie will be deceived. He therefore
Shows what his people at home sa; OF
him and he also shows that the head
of the Democratic party in his Coun-
ty pronounce as false the insinuation
that Ellerbe has been untrue to his
party. We hope our readers will
carefully read Mr.. Ellerbe's letter and
his certificates and if they know OF
anybody that has been turned away
from him by these false reports, they
will do Mr.. Ellerbe the justice that
fair play demands.

Imagine Doctor Strait, president OF
the Tomato-Fig Syrup Company Sit
ting on manure pile in his horse
lot clipping the coupons from the
bonds OF bis cure-all enterprise.
Doctor Strait would hate to admit
that he was "go!d bricked' into this
Tomato-Fig Sprup business by a
Washington sharper, but he was, all
the same, and we move that a referee
be appointed by the people OF his
district to ascertain how much Doc
tor Strait was buncoed out of, and
whether or not be was reimbursed by
Senator Murphy with loan at four
per cent.

New Zion Notes.
Editor The ZINES:

Editor IuE lines:
Please say through the good and faithful
TINES that in this section the order OF the
day is grading tobacco and preparing 1t for
market. By the way, we see nothing in
your advertising columns which will let
the people know where they can market
their tobacco, and there should be.
Corr over Lere is very good and cotton is
better than last year. We look for :a good
crop and hope for a better price.
The New Zion Democratic clab WAS or
dered to meet the 14th inst. and the only
ones present were Dr.. l. VI. Wools, presi-
dent; B. l.. DuBoSe, vice president and J.
E. Green, secretary, it was hard task for
the secretary to revise the roll. The people
are too busy just now to sttend club meet
ingS. believe majority, especially those
WHO read Tee 1,IxEs, have made their
choice and on the 3lst day of August they
will Express that choice at the ballot box.
Mr. Editor. was pleased to read vour
editorial announcing Hon. j. T. Elerbe
your choice for Congress. and as farmer
and voter heartily endorse all that ycu
have said about Mr.. Ellerbe. believe he
will sweep Salem on election day, ust as
Uncle Ben and Curly Haired Johnnie have
done IN the past l find that Ei!erbe Is
the peoples choice, while Norton is the
choice of few office holders who. like hlm-
self, are holding on with death-lke grip.
I look upon Ellerbe as a true man, one
that will make another John McLaurin. /
thank God Sal?m is politically educated;
that such men as Evans, Irby, Mayheld aud
Norton or any others who make n!isrepre-
sentation and abuse their campaign argu-
ments are no longer with influence. Men
like John McLaurin and Ed Ellerbe who
bid defiance to politicians and have faith in
the people ale the ones the people look to
for guidance. August 3lst will put stop
to political scheming and the verdict will
be in favor of Mel .aurn and EIlerhe sure.
Messrs. ]. E. Green, John King aud y.

According to Senator Irby the sill
yer cause is dead for fifty years, no
wonder the Greenv,lle 'News' thinks
better of Mr.. Irby than the other
candidates for the Senate. The
