EXpediency,

For the vast majority of those who
voted for Mr.. McSweeney we have no
word of criticism. They were voting
for the dispensary, voting rs they have
voted for ten years, and as they were
generally expected TO vote. Nor is
there anything harsh to be said of those
in certain cities who voted for Mr.. Nc
Sweeney. Theirs were votes of eX-
pediency, which appeals at times to us
all.
If some gallant, high-mindcd gentle
man, embodying most that we cherish
in South Carolina politics, somo fine old
soldier and able man like Major Barker,
OF Charleston or Mr.. YOumans, of Co
umbia, had been candidate, we might
have voted for the other man on grounds
OF eXpediency. We hope not. But if
we had, 1T would have been at the price
of some of our self-respect. We should
have been distinctly conscious of hav-
ing done a cheap thing and we should
not have cared to boast of the little gain
that we had from the result And so,
knowing how many of us may forget
our better impulses in political affairs,
we have no trailing accusation" to
bring against Charleston and Columbia
for voting against such man as the
examples we have cited. 1t may have
been calculating and shrewd of Colum-
ba and Charleston, but it was not like
them, and we must at least be allowed
to regret the new roles in which they
are playing.

A CARD.
EDITOR OF ADVERTISER, SIR

EDITOR OF ADVERTISER, SIR
Please allow me space in your valua-
bic paper to thank my many friends
for the ilattering vote they gave me Oh
the llth inst. Though | was defeated,
still must say that | appreciate the
steadfastness Of my friends in my re-
cent contest more than in any other
contest that have been In.
The fight against me was unfair and
very unjust, but have not word OF
complaint, and | leave all the unfair
methods rcsorted to by my enemies
with them and their God.
Some are rejoicing over my defeat.
Ihls they have perfect right 20 do;
because | did my rejoicing several
years ago.
My successor is good and deserv-
ing man and | will at all times hold up
his hands and strive to aid him in every
possible way.
AS to the unjust and unusual on
slaught made upon me by number OF
candidates defeated in the First Pri
mary and who, lending a willing ear
to every falsehood against me, went
among the people and poisoned their
minds with states and combines, | am
content to turn them over to their own
consciences and the tender mercies of
the people.
l was defeated, because did not get
votes enough, but my defeat does not
give me political sore-head. Many OF
my fellow citizens who voted against
me are yet my friends. They had a
right to vote for whom they pleased.
Laurens county has been kind and very
generous to me and surely no one ap-
preciates the same more than I.
The memory Of my friends will al
ways be cherished. My enemies have
already forgiven. I hope to make Lau-
rens my home and the latch string OF
my door will hang on the outside.
Friends you are all invited.
After thanking my friends again
and again,
I am gratefully yours,
