ioooi" aS d Representative. The Sen
tor S statement as to the great power Q
the chairman of committees is mis-
leading. The first bill he had intro
duced i the house was to reduce tn,
salaries vt the Judges, which was
then 95.lCO, and he carried the iii,
through the House rcgardc., ol
caucusses and chairmen. The chair
man of committees are not so all
powerful as Mr.. Douglass would ha. c
you to believe
AS to rotation he had b.en
rotated enough to satisfy any one on
that score. As to the bonds it was
by his efforts that the issue of bonds
tor Union county WAS made payable In
currency instead of in gold. Was op-
posed to saddling a debt on our peo-
pie payable only in gold. That
ne was right proved by the statement
made that the bonds are now worth
$3.50. AS to the verbal contract
that Senator Douglass is cred,ting
himself so highly with, any man Of
intelligence knows that verbal c. n
tract is and always has been bind
ing when witnessed. What more is
this bill of his? Wants legislative hei

should have done it sooner. Wants
econotsical taxation. AS to corpor-
ations, believes there is little differ
encc between corporations and trusts.
They are twin brothers. Believes IN
compulsory education and is wiling
to rise or fail on that issue, if somu-
thing is not done the white children
will 60 to the mills while the negro
children 90 to the schools. To mus
ter out soldiery who cannot read
the lettering upon their country's
flag, or the inscription upon the
tombs Of the heroes who had gone
down defending it, would be dis
grace to South Carolina. Says the
darkey pays the most of the fertilizer
tax, let that tax 60 to educate the
negro.
1t is business upon the part of the
mill to get as cheap labor as possible,
but poor business on the part of the
parent to send their children to the
mill instead of to school.
AS to the gold bond business, he
was the only one who stood against
it, and fought it single handed.
Thinks the gold bond is to our dis
advantage instead of to our advan>
tage as Senator Douglass claims
Had stood alone on the floor of the
House and fought for the road duty
81 instead of 81 with Welch and OTIS
against me in the House and Douglass
in the Senate. He had helped to
raise the pensions $50,000 while in
the House.
1t was glaring outrage. to put a
man in jail for contempt of court
when it was an acknowledged fact
that the laws are farce. You know
my record and l stand on it for elec,
ton.
