COL. G.. W. CROFT.
Hon. NJ. T. Holley, Sr., Writes
Some Very Readable Facts
About Aiken's Congression-
ional Champion in the
Second District.
(From Barnwell People

One of the most notable figures
in South Carolina Politics this
wear is Col. G.. w. Croft of Aiken
S. C. who has lately announced
himself as q candidate for Cong
ress from this District. His pleas
ing personality and generous ua-
ture have long endeared him to all
who are fortunate enough to num-
Der him among their scquaintan-
ces. He has always been pre-emin-
emily man of the people, ,and we're
told that during Ills long practice
at the bar, his distinguished abili-
ty has often been given free of
charge to the cause of the helpless
end oppressed.
When the grim tide of civil war
had rolled across the Savannah,
and the followers of Sherman had
begun to cut their swath of de-
struciion across oul fair state,
though but an uutrieI STRIPPING he
went to the front with his class al
The Citadnl academy and bore him
self calamity in several bloody en-
gagements. When the curtain had
fallen on the dreadful drama
fraternal strife he finished his ed
ucation at the University of Vir-
g;nia and studied law under Gov.
BIZ. Perry, ,onp of the ables' lawyers
of his TINA. He began the practice
of his profession ut Aiken on the
Formations of tie county in 1872
and is today not only a leader at
his bar but one of the Lr'ghtest le.
gal llg ats in the sta'e.
When our state lay PROSTATE
under the heel Of alien carpnt-bag'
gers tnd native scalawags, he neyel
faultcred in his devotion to the
ccuse of good government and il,
the stirring davs of 1876 he led,a'
captain OF the Palmetto Rifles, tnt
flower of the Young men men o
his C. unity 10 The bloody riots at E
lenton and put to flight the BLACK
) hordes who were bent on murde
aud rapiue. For this act of patri
otism he pu. his liberty in jeopar
, dy and was on trial for twenty
two days in the United States
court at Charleston, where ever,
effort that party malice could de
wise was used to convict the patri
, ! otic men, who put their own live
in danger for the public good.
Few men of Col, Croft's talen
have been more reluctant to seel
publib office and he has never helt
an office of profit.
From 1875 70 1882 be was chair
man of the Democratic party o
Aiken county. In 1892 ho maoeiect
! on state senator to fill an unexpir
ed term and on its expiration wa
elected to the House of Represen
tatives. In 1900 he was elected
to The HOUSE of Representative
1and made a splendid record, espe
cially was he complimented by
the press of the state on advocacy
of and the magnificent speech or
the child labor bill and no mem
Der of the Legislature was more &C.
tive than be in securing the anti
trust act. In 1892 Col. Croft was
elected president Of the state ba,
association, which position he now
holds.
No man is better equipped NOR,
ally or mentally for he high office
to which be aspires than this gift
ed son of Aiken, and we taKe
pleasure in bespeakipg for him the
earnest consideration of every vo-
ter in bis congressional district.

The many friends of Hon.
w. R. Parks desire to non1i-
nate him for the Legislature
at the coming Democratic
primary. This is the result
of a meeting of citizens held
at Modoc, June 28, 1902, and
was against his personal wish
We believe, however, that
the interest of the county
should be put as far as poss-
ible at all times in the hands
of able and conservative busi
nese men such as Mr. Park,
AMI at personal sacrifice he
has periodically consented tc
let his name go before his tf
low citizens at the comclns
primary. We appeal with cor
fident of the people his
election. Not only is he ar
able and successful man bu
he is conservativeand the put
lie interest can be safely er
trusted to his hands and bus
mess judgement with the as
surance that they will be ece

EDGEFIELD GIN DO
WHAT OTHERS DO.

The Ninety Six correspon-
dent to the Columbia State
makes the following state
ment:
"The projected cotton mill will
have a 1O,OOo-spindle capacity and
will be capitalized at 100000. A
charter has been applied for and
work will commence at an early
date. All the necessary capital
has been secured, the homefclks
taking $75,O0o."
Ninety Six is a town OF
about 600 people and is to
have a cotton mill capitalized
at 100000 of which $4,000
is subscribed dahs hs5o 5ouf # irformffia- forffia-
tion goes the s'homefolks" of
Edgefeld have not IS cents
invested in manufacturing en-
terprises, Yet many wonder
why business is dull and why
there is not more life-com-
merclal life-in the old town.
The wayfaring man though
a fool can see the why. A
town that is chiefly dependent
for its support upon the agri-
cultural, interests which, on
account of the impoverished
condition of the lands and un-
favorable seasons, are limited
and uncertain, cannot expect
booming business II months
in the year. The dull time
must-necessarily come when
apo money is being paid out
for farm labor and when no
crop is being marketed.
What Edgefeld needs is to
supplement her present re-
sourcel with varied enter
prises, great and small, that
will afford employment for all
classes and conditions of la
Dor. In proportion as these
enterprises multiply the vol
ume and frequency of the
,pay-rolls will increase which
will in turn swell the bank de-
posts increase the volume
of the merchants business;
add hundreds to our popula-
ton, thereby beneftting the
doctors. lawyers, dentists,
schools and churches.
In urging the need of in
dustrial enterprises we do not
ulSCOuHl OF dlSPaTaSe the HILL
that is already established in
Edgefeld. 1t will compare
favorably with any other mill
in the state of equal size. One
semi-monthly pay roll, how
ever, divided among so many
does not appreciably increase
the volume of business Wei
need a dozen pay-rolls.
Business men of Edgeheld,
is not the above a true state

ing an idle day dream of a

Opera House Manager.

The Young Mems Corps yesterday
elected j. j. McMenamin manager Of
the Grand opera house for the season Of
10000. This action was due to the
failure of U. G. Hill, to whom the house
was leased last summer, to fulfill his
part Of the contract. Tho new manager
has had charge OF the building for the
Freeland Opera House Company for the
past three years, and is therefore no
stranger to the duties of the position.
Although handicapped greatly by
taking control so late in the season,
after majority of the theatrical COM
panies have completed their bookings,
Mr.. McMenamin's experience will prove
valuable to the society In procuring
plays for the house. For the present,
on account OF the coal strike, very few
shows will be brought to town.

the request.

the board in collecting tuition fees it
was decided that all pupils residing out
