In regard to the Congressional

A Card.

| To the Voters of Lexington County
The sad death of DR.. j. Wm
Stokes has made vacant his seat in
Congress. That place must be filed
by an election.
1t is the hope of all true Lexing-
| sonians that our County, for once in
her history, have a Congressman
The older men in the County and
the people generally have thought
my chances of carrying the County's
banner to victory were very bright,
and have insisted upon my making
the race. To make campaign for
Congress is no small undertaking,
either in the way of physical and
mental strain, or in the pecuniary ex,
penditure necessary 10 such cam.
paign. I feel, however, that I thor
oughly appreciate the greatness OF
the undertaking and also the
responsibility of the position which I
am seeking. For five years, as the
private secretary OF our dead Con-
gressmap, 1 was thrown in the most
intimate touch with all congressional
duties and know what they mean.
do lot believe it is right for a
man to hold one position and become
q candidate for another without re-
signing. Every position, if we'll
filed, requires the full attention of
the man who holds il. The people
are tired of so many elections, and
my candidacy for Congress, makes
another election for Representative
probability, because man caunot
hold the two positions of Representa-
tive aud Congressman at one and the
Same time. Another campaign
would be expensive, and to avoid
that, | this day return to the people
Of Lexington the commission which
they entrusted to me in my election
last summer, For the large vote
given me, I thank the people from
the bottom Of my heart. This
presents 40 opportunity to go higher,
and surely none could, would or
should censure me for aspiring 10
rise 10 life, and besides the people of
Lexington County are given their
FIRST chance to vote for Lexington
man for Congress.
/ trust that the people will take
their usual interest in this election.
Turn out to the campaign meetings:
go to the elections and vote their
choice.
I have to day resigned as
member of the General Assembly of
S. G.. to take effect at once. Again
thanking you for you past confidence,
Very truly,

Letter from Arkansas.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:

A terrible drought is prevailing
here at this writing, and has been
for over six weeks continuously. We
haven't experienced such ruinons
drought since 1896. The Oldest
settlers here say that they have
pever known the beat to be so great
before.
Old upland corn is entirely ruined.
Greek bottoms are not so badly
Injured. A half crop of corn is the
best that We can expect, everything
being favorable from now onward.
Cotton will be cut off to some ex-
tent though there is plenty of time
yet for the cotton crop in Arkansas.
Gardens are completely burnt up,
pastures are suffering terribly, water
is becoming very scarce. Some OF
the large mills on the railroad are
closing down, owing to q scarcity Of
water.

good.

the Executive Committee is clothed
with DO such arbitrary power. 1t
only has to see that Toe rules and
regulations adopted by she patty in

We find nothing in the rules govern
ing primary elections or in the polity
of the party requiring an oficeholder
to pursue q policy dictated by Sena-
tor T,lIman or the Executive Com
mittee. Such action on the part OF
the committee is dangerous prece-
dent, as it endangers the freedom OF
speech and thought.
Their action was uuwise and m
fortunate to say the least of it and if
permitted to go unrebuked there is
no telling how much authority the
committee might assume unto itself
in meeting out injustice to men and
measures which do not meet with
the approval of some of its members
Toe people alone have tbs power to
condemn the action of a public
servant and the place for them to do
this is at the polls with their votes
This has been the position of the
Dispatch since the primary system
was adopted and it occupies this po-
sition today.
We regard the action Of the com
mittee but the expression of individ-
ual opinions without the shadow of
lsw and of no effect whatever.
