ocoNEE's CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS-.
Major VIM. ]. siribllag VIII be among The
Foremost Men In the Field.

Major VIM. J. Stribling, of Wal
halla, has entered the, race for Con-
gress to win. He will make a good
race, not alone in Cconee, his own
County, but in the District as well.
Much of his time will necessarily be
devoted to meeting the people of the
other Counties of the District, and
he has addressed the following letter
to his friends in Oconee:
Walhalla, S. c., April II, 1902
Dear Sir: ] have decided to make
the race for Congress. Our County
has been a separate County in the
District for about thirty-five years,
and yet we have never had the Con-
gresham. We are now, in material
prosperity and in Democratic
strength, the second County in rank
of the whole six Counties that com
pose the District, and we are gaining
in both respects every year. Not
withstanding our prominence in these
and other respects, we have to a de-
gree been neglected in the dispensa-
tion of benefits from the National
Government. In the one matter of
Rural Free Mail Delivery, for in
stance, the service has been installed
in only about one. fourth of our
County, while some of the lower
Counties have the service solidly
over the whole County. One reason
why we are so treated is because we
do not assert ourselves enough.
Only to him that asketh is it given.
Up to the present time we have had
only one candidate for Congress.
We of course will never get the
place if we do not ask for it.
| have had assurances from many
friends, and from some persons here
tofore opposed to me in local politics,
that if l would make the race would
have my own County practically
solidly behind me. If / had not
been led to believe this, l surely
would not have dared to make the
race. The campaign will be expen-
sive to me in both time and money,
but | will not regret having made it
If shall have the vote of my own
County practically solid in my sup
port, even though | should be beaten
in the District. But with this sup
port do not believe l will be beaten {;
without it do not care to be elected.
| think j need not add that, if
elected, will try to be the repre-
sentative of all alike.
| request that you assist me in
every honorable and legitimate way
that you can, and assure you that l
will appreciate it, and will recipro-
cate the favor in any proper way in
my power, whether | am elected or
not.
| sen. you this letter because most
o. my time will necessarily have to
be spent in other parts of the Dis
trict, where I am comparatively un-
known, and may not be able to see
you and talk to You in person.
Yours very truly,
WIN. j. Stribling.

ouo Aiahptob was Cyplcal
"Southern gentleman" That means
much that is good and noble.
Alas! it may mean sometimes much
that is not good. But it is a
worthy ideal. In his boyhood, near
this city, Wade Hampton ''learned
to ride and shoot and speak the
truth" And the habits of youth
stuck to him through life. And
those simple things mean much. To
control himself and his steed, to hold
nerves steady to shoot with true
aim, TO hate lie with unutterable
loathing, are worthy aims. love a
man who is man. We want ac-
tivity and vigor and real living inter-
est in things; and we want recog-
milton of the great ideals of charao-
ter. Let our boys "learn to ride and
shoot'-let them learn the great les
sons of truth and personal integrity
and our State is safe. "He stood
four-square." / had read those words
often, but they never impressed me
as they did yesterday, when 1 read
them in The State. "He stood four
square," In every relation he was
correct so far as we know. Active,
energetic, generous, polite, kind,
considerate, high minded, true-he
was all these and more besides:
"And so he bore without abuse
The grand old name of gentleman"
But you say, "What have you in
the pulpit to do with politeness and
the gentleman ?" The pulpit has as
much to do with this as with any
other thing. I have right to preach
proper manners as well as proper
morals. 1t is to be regretted that
there is letting down 80 often of
the standard of true personal dignity
and public propriety. Glove doth
not behave unseemly," says the
Apostle Paul. The true Christian is
always a gentleman, I may say the
true Man is always 80. Study that
old soldier as he walked the street,
or rode his horse as he stood in
public assemblies; as he moved
among his soldier comrades; as he
was the center of group of kindly
women. There was always the
sames personal dignity, as we'll as
moral uprightness Too often our
young men and women lose sight of
this requirement and are led to do
what is rude, or loud, or impolite !;
and these in their sphere are almost
as Objectionable as lack of truthful
ness or honesty.
Gen. Hampton stood the two fold
test of prosperity and adversity.
Prosperity did not puff him up nor
did adversely make him sour and
disagreeable. A lesson is here for
two classes of us. Sometimes our
success makes US proud. You have
seen men who were vain of success
and presumed on it in public. They
boasted of blue blood, of intellect, of
wealth, of influence. Now success
is good. Men ought to thank God
for it and use it gratefully for Him
and the world. But we have no
right to be proud and vain, always
thrusting our advantages in mems
faces. Rather we ought to recog-
nize the responsibilities that come to
