terest of his race ever before him.
In the beginning of his political GA
reer he removed to Darlington where
he was connected with the county
treasurer and sheriff7s Office fer mum
Der of years. He has attended every
state convention as delegate since
1874. Not one time has he ever had an
opponent in these sections. All know
it is useless TO oppose Ed. Deas for
anything in the gift OF the people. His
record is so clean and brilliant that to
not render TO him his dues. would be
nothing less than angratitude.
For twenty years he has been the
chairman of the executive committee
of his county, and for that same num-
Der of years he has been chairman Of
the 9Th Congressional district COM
mittee. His services has been in the
hand of the republican party for years,
aud not one time has the men whose
leader Edmund Deas has been fOp
these years even suggested change.
No one has ever doubted Mr.. Deas
sincerity in working for his party. He
worked way back in the dark days,
when Wade Hampton inaugurated the
red shirt gang throughout South Caro-

from duty then. To work then was

political nesting to another; on nanother
occasion a follower of Tillman. a Tegu-

came Lp behind him while he was
making a speech at Timmonsville.
But these were only incentives and he
worked the harder. Ms. Deas has been

national convention since 1884 He has
also been elected to Congress from the

There is no republican anywhere,
who has been so instrumental In Sc.
curing for party workers government

knows and appreciates sincerity on
the part OF hjs men. and he doesn't fall
to help tkem in substantial way. He
numbers among bis personal friends
the strongest men OF the republican
party-from Senator Hanna down to
the janitOr in the federal building at

Though the Negro is in the msjority

The fight was hot one. The Union

were looking for some one who could
