CAPTAIN BRADHAM DECLINES.

1t is with u feeling Of sadness that
we are forced to announce the re-
tirement of Capt D. J. Braaham fron1
the Congressional race. He had
every encouragement from all parts
of the district to make i winning
fight, bat he has come to the concln-
sion that to make tie race and attend
the meetings as is required, would be
at a great risk OF his health. The
Captain attended the opening meet
ing at Sumter and before the speak
ing began he felt the effects OF the
excitement and lie has been unwelI
ever since. He thereupon concluded
to sacrifice his political ambition,
rather than his health.
We were quite anxious that Clar-
endon man enter this contest and
from what we could gather from
every County there seemed to be 4
feeling that Clarendon was entitled
to the place. Captain Bradham ac-
ceded to the wishes CT his friends and
consented to run, this conclusion
brought letters OF cordial support
from every County in the district,
and from men without regard to fac
ton, his chances appeared the bright
est, but when he consented to run he
was under the impression that Only
one meeting in each county would be
held He had no idea that the ex-
ecatiye committee WAS going 70 i'm
pose a burden Of twenty-thrca meet
iuss upon the candidates. On last
Saturday he informed US, bis physical
condition was such that he was salts
fed he could not attend all OF the
meetings, and unless he could do so
it would be useless for him to remain
in the contest.
Captain Braaham leaving the fight,
changes the conditions very consid-
erably and his friends will have to
cast about for another choice. As
far as We are concerned, we are 50
disappointed by our candidates decl-
sion that we have not made up our
mind which of the candidates to sup
port. We would prefer waiting at
least until our next issue, before max
ing known our choice, that will give
US little time to make some inquiries
into the records of the candidates and
we will make our selection from the
best material at hand. \ Congress
man must be chosen and tue man to
receive cur support should be worthy
of it. We realize the fact that many
Of our readers depend on us for their
knowledge of a candidates record
and before we come out for man
we should be able to give some deh-
mite information Of his past career.

JOHNSON'S ANSWERS.

Below is what lTr. J. II. Johnson,
candidate for Congress. has given Us
rs an answer to the questions we pro-
pounded last week and in order that
he be understood we repub!ish those
questions.
/. Did you support what was
known in 1890 as the Haskell ticket?
,. Was there 4 fusion ticket IL
Marion County voted in the election
of 1890. and if so. was not that ticket
brought out against the ticket nomi-
mated in the Democratic primary?
,. Did the fusion County ticket
have the negroes upon it:
!. Did you vote the fusion ticket
composed OF white men and negroes?
). Did You support Hon. +. I.
Stac!ihouse, the Democratic nominee
for Congress:
s. Did you vote for Edmund II.
Deas. the negro candidate, against
Hon. Z, 7. StackhouSe?
THE ANSWERS.
Editor MANNING TINES:
voted for General StackhOuSe for
Congress IN ISbU.
never did vote for Deas in my
life.
l did not vote for or appeal to any
negro in 1850.
Both sides lost their heads in 1890,
and brought out their tickets in un
usual and irregular ways. Each side
called the other Independent. l
voted for ants mostly. but scratched
off Objectionable names and inserted
W. II. Ellcrbe as Comptroller-Gene-
raj ant! other good names in lieu of
those scratched. | voted for white
Democrats as good as the State holds.
The family quarrel was settled by
the State Committee in 1892, and |
was endorsed by my circuit that
year and in 1895 again. 8
The old sores are healing, if not
healed, why cut into them again:
What is your object?
Whoever whispers into your ear to
probe into this old matter whispers
bad advice You know you claim to
be a peace and unity man, and that
your paper is for harmony and that
your farorite candidate is for har-
mony. Let us have the peace you
praise. j. N. JOHNSON.

pie. He is prepared to DO so, as he
has given the great subjects now asl-
tating the minds of the people study.
We do not believe there is repre-
sentative in Congress from any State
who has devoted more time and
study to the important questions
than Senator NcLaurin, and to the
inouiring mind his speeches are an
education.
This clap-trap stuff some Of bis OPP
porents are indulsiug in may be
pleasing to the candidates themselves,
but the people want something more
substantial; they want McLaunn, 5
arguments refuted if it can be done,
the dealing in unsustained assertions
that dark plot has been made to de-
feat TiIlman, and that AIcLaurln IS IN
that plot, is looked upon as apollt!cal
dodge to arouse prejudice, and what
confirms this belief is the sharp meth
DDS that e1-United States Senator
Irby INDUCES in.
He and lis kind are constantly
throwing out ominous hints that the
"devil will catch you sure" ifyou vote
for McLaurin. 0Ir. Irby has forgot
ten that the people have had a six
wears course of political training and
they have kept up with the records
of public men; they know all about
the record made by Senator lrbJ IA
CONGRESS- and in the Constitutlonal
Coz vention. they also know all about
NJ. Irby's course since the Constltu-
tionai Convention, and they We'll re-
member his hatred for Ben Tillman,
who ne now processes to love and is
swinging to bis coat-tail with death
grip. Ifby in private life scorned
Tiliman and John Gary Evans, and
now that he has entered public lie,
he becomes cheek by jowl with In
gratitude" and "Treachery, names
that he gave to pair Of horses.
sIneratitude" was named for John
Gary Evans, and "Treachery" for Ben
Tillman. Irby did not hide his con,
tempt nor bite his tongue to say all
kinds of hard things about both OF
them, and today with an office IN
sight, in the language of Gen. Hugh
FARLEY, he struts around like "a big
buck nigger on emancipation day,
and charges NIcLaurin with being at
the head OF conspiracy to defeat
Ben Tillman. Everybody knows that
Irbv's love for Tiliman is about as
strong as the devils is for holy water
and his solicitude at this time is a
case of crying 'stop thief.

WE DO NOT WANT TO REVIVE FAC
TIONiL HATE.

There are some who do not seem
to understand our political position,
and because we propounded a series
of questions to Candidate Johnson,
they have taken it to mean, it is our
purpose to endeavor to revive
factional hate. In this they
are mistaken, as we have not
the least desire to blow up the
dying factional embers, but there is a
considerable difference between what
was known as the Reform and Con-
servative factions, and that element
who went so far with their hate as
to support fusion tickets against reg
ularly nominated tickets after parti-
cipating in a primary under a solemn
pledge.
As We have said before, some good
aud patriotic men cast their votes for
Judge Haskell, not that they expected
to see him elected, but as a protest
against the methods pursued by Till.
man; these men regarded Iillman
and Haskell as irregular and they
took their choice of the two. Of
course, we differed with them and
have no quarrel with them now, nor
is it our desire to taunt them with the
mistake we believe they made, but
we have no forgiveness for any white
men who carried their hate SO far as
to vote for O. fusion ticket with ne
groes O.. it against the white nomi-
nees of Democratic primary. There
are numbers Of men in what was
known as the Conservative faction
who can get oar hearty support, IN
fact we have rendered that support
on several occasions.
We believe we have put in more
genuine work to have factional differ
ences adjusted THAI some who criti-
cize us, and what effort we made has
been in an open sincere manner. We
DO not say put aside factional feel
ing" aud then eudeavor to keep the
boys in line. Every time We advised
the dropping OF factional lines We
meant it. Is it so with all ctners: Is
it not fact that some Of the other
side will advocate the laying aside Of
factions and then so right auead and
hold their own faction together TIE
closer?
It reminds US of an Indian story
which was: The white man said to
the Indian Ill take the turkey and
YOU the buzzard, or YOU take the buzz
zard and III take tie turkey :" It
was buzzard every time for the poor
Indian, and so It is with the Reform
ers; they must leave off factional feel
ing and vote for the other side, but
the other side will not recjprocate
worth cent If they have 4 candidate
in the field. In casting our vote we
prefer to be governed BY the fitness
of the candidate, let him belong to
whatever faction he did, SO long as he
has always been loyal to the white
men of South CaroIiua.

The Indian Farmer.

A strong evidence of the pro-
gress being made by Nez Perez
Indians can be found in their
methods of farming and living.
Since the improvement of the
roads, considerable farm machinery
has been hauled to their allot-
ments which are beginning to show
improvements with good fences,
buildings, and a better class of
stock. Perhaps no part of the res
erve shows more thrifty set of
Indians than those who live in
the Potlatch valley, between Ken
drick and the Clearwater. Besides
we'll built houses, their farms show
cultivation and care, and their
crops well taken care of. A num-
Der have set out fruit trees, which
are beginning to yield. Those who
have less liking for the farm have
leased their allotments to new
settlers, and trip across the new
ly settled prairie reveals consid-
cradle acreage in cultivation.
Especially is this noticeable in the
Cottonwood creek section, where
there are large number of Indian
allotments. The distance from
there to Lapwai is about IL miles,
with a gradual grade where they
can find facilities for storing their
grain. The Indians living on the
North Fork are generally consid-
cred the most thrifty and intelli-
gent of the tribe, and in their i'm
provements are beginning to show
progressive spirit. One of the
young men has been hauling goods
from Kendrick to the North Fork,
where he will open up a store.
Evidence of their enterprise is
shown in their operating ferries
and stores, as well as farming with
tho latest improved machinery.
The increase Immortality is rapidly
thinning the ranks every year and
is attributed to their gluttonous
and irregular diet.-Correspondent
in Spokane Review.
