Senator Dean seconded the nomi-
nation and added compliments to
those already bestowed on MI. Ep-
ton. Governor Ellerbe's appoint
ment was wise and should be ratified.
When these two encomiums on
Mr.. Epton had been finished Sena-
tor Scarborough--tall, commanding
and eloquent-reprosentative Of the
"lndependent Republic of Horny"
arose. After moments pause he
ssid:
Mr. President: occupy unique
position. l hold commission as
Senator from Horny which some one
has called tho Independent Republic
IL am the first man in South Caro-
lima that has offered son Of Horny
for State Office We have never be-
fore asked for m honor. l name,
Mr.. President, for the Office of Coup
troller General of this State a noble
son Of Horny fully qualified for this
high position.
Wo havo no splendid records to
refer to. For we have never before
asked anything and wo have never
received anything: you always know
whero Horny is. When the bugle
sounded for war tho noble sons Of
Horny left their homes, left their
colleges and went to the front. They
did their duty nobly. They always
answ cred when tho roll call of South
Carolina was sounded. Whom Hamp-
ton was leader in 1875 Horny did
her duty. During the election when
everything WAS in doubt some one
said wait until you hear from Horny.
The returns from Horny give De-
mocracy majority in South Caro-
lima. But, Mr.. President and gen
tlemen, | come bringing to the altar
this morning a noble son to dedicate
him to tho service Of his State. We
have no institutions Of which to boast
no wealth of which to be proud,
but Horny stands with hor hands on
the heads of her noble sons and SAYS:
"Ihese are my jowels."
have the honor to place before
you for the Office of Comptroller
General of South Carolina John
Pickens Dorham of Horny.
Senator Scarborough's remarks
were delivered in manner that was
convincing, earnest and eloquent.
When ho retired tho House-which
had been moved by his words-broke
into applause. Senator Scarborough
established himself as an orator yes
torday and in ono speech attracted
State attention to his powers in this
line.
Seconds to this nomination and to
that Of Mr.. Epton followed thick
and fast upon one another until the
motion that nominations ccuso
brought on the election.
