TIE Washington correspondent Ct
The News and Courier says: Mr.. Nor,
tor, who was one OF the party visiting
Due West on Bryan day, was asked if
it was understood that the Bryan de-
monstration .as the opening Of tie
State campaign in South Carolina.
No. think not" was his reply.
1--WE have about quit opening cam
paigns in Marcn down there. Too few
Of them have been successful siuce the
frst one. March IS q revolutionary
month, and We are not expecting soy
revolution just now. Only two OF the
six candidates already announced
were at Due West. While the politi-
cal situation in the State was not un-
considered, no big campaign launch.
irg was bad or was expected.
"Ihe political situation down there
stems to be getting pretty complicat-
ed. But with Governor Ellerbe, Of
Marion; Col. R B. Watson, of Salu-
de- Col. George Tillman, OF Edgefeld -;
State Senator Archer, OF Spartan burg,
and Ex-Solicitor Schumpert, Of New.
berry, in the race there is little dan
ger of the people making q serious
mistake. AL OF these are good men
any one OF them could be expected to
serve the State cre6itably.
Congressman Lsn.z, OF Ohio, has
this to say: Il am but vo;cing the
sentiment Of every visitor from the
North to Due West last week when I
say that aside from the pleasure OF the
trip, which was most enjoyable, we
also found it one of the most instruct
i've trips ever made by any of US.
"Those of us who have heard so
much about the hospitality of the peo-
pie OF South Carolina had almost be-
gun to believe that hospitality was the
only capital the State had to feel
proud Of, but, to the surprise of all,
we found commercial enterprise in
evidence everywhere, great cotton
mills IN so many places as to prove
threatening to the future of New
England, unless by her Yankee inge-
auity she finds some new industries
to take the place of those she IS sure
to su, tander in the near future to the
great and in exhaustible South. Small
cities are sprineing up like blossoms
in the cotton fields, and are equipped
with the latest that steam and electric
ity can offer. But most surprising
and most promising of all is to see the
many colleges for young men and
women; two at Spartan burg, three at
Greenville, one at Williamson and
two at Due West makes good show
ing of colleges along one line OF rail,
way, and that in q run of only about
ninety miles. The people OF the North,
who have been wondering whether
any good thing can come from South
Carolina, will learn before many
years are gone by that The young
manhood and Tomanhood of that
State are destined to add new and
greater renown to State once mighty
and influential in the American Re
public. At Due West we found Frs
kline College, presided over Dy DR..
Grier, gentleman whose presence
and manner at once attest such learn
ing and character as to warrant MS
fame as one of the greatest educators
OF the South, and at Due West Female
College they have the honor and ad-
vautage Of the discipline and culture
of Dr.. Todd, and the best evidence OF
the merits of that institution lies in
the fact that the young ladies IN st
tendance are the equal in appearance
and culture to those of any of the best
schools I have seen anywhere.
''Tnose of US who enjoyed the hos
pitality at Due West of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henery P. MCGEE, Mr.. and Mrs. Rob
ert S. Galloway and Mr.. and hrs.
John Davlin and DR.. +. Y. Pressly
and others will always accord South
Carolina the..right to make any claim
they choose on hospitality, but we
shall insist on it that they have many
other advantages. You may safely
say for US that what We have seen OF
the commercial, educational and So
cial life of South Carolina has not only
increased our love for our neighbor,
but has made US feel that our country
is greater than we ever dreamed II
could be and has made your visitors
from the North feel that the lime has
come VIXEN we can rally round the
flag boys and IN one accord say our
America is, and must remain, the Iano
of the fres and home of the brave. /
wish more OF our people could see
more of our country, it would increase
our patriotism.
Congressman Norton has this to say
about some OF the Northern members
OF the visiting party at Due West:
Mr.. Lentz made such an impression
while at Due West that he has been
invited to deliver the annual address
before the graduating class at Due
West, and has agreed to go. Also
arrangements are on foot to get him
to take in Winthrop Colleye at Rock
Hill, Newberry College at NeWberry,
and maybe Clemson College.
DR.. J. B. Showalter, CT Pennsyl
Ysnia, alao went on the trip to South
Carolina. He expressed delight and
surprise at conditions in South Caro-
lima. He was delighted with the hos.
pitality of Due West. The Doctor is
8 good Republican from Pennsylvania.
The people OF Due West were much
pleased with him.
