FIGHTING NEGRO.
From 1876 to 1884 Col. Elliot was
county chairman of Beaufort County.
In 1884 1t became necessary to make
q fight In the Seventh Congressional
District against the negroes. The
Democratic candidate had to be popu-
lac, fearless and u constant fighter.
william Elliott was chosen, made a
most aggressive campaign, but was de-

Col. Elliott was elected. Rioting oc-
CURED constantly In the elections, and
the precinct managers at Hilton Head
and st. Helena we're mobbed by the
negroes, who had become most inso-
lent. SmalIs contested the election.
This meant that testimony as to the
fairness OF the election had to be taken
during three months in every county
OF the district at the same time. Then
printed arguments, compiled from the
1000 or more printed pages of testi-
mony, had to be fled with the commit
tee OF elections, then argued before
them, and finally fought out on the
floor OF the house. Colonel Elliott won
the contest.
From then to the present time he
has had the following fights with ne
gro candidates, In each instance q con-
tested election following the election.
In 1888 and 1890 with Tom Miller, in
the latter case Miller was seated by
Reeds Congress in 1894, 1896 and 1898
with George w. Murray, in the first OF
which contests Murray was seated and
Col. Elliott unseated, and in 1900 with
Beckett, a negro preacher.
Thus, after eighteen years of relent-
less, labOrious and expensive fighting,
Colonel Elliott reclaimed the district
composed OF the coast counties from
negro rule. and now has an uncontest-
ed seat in Congress for the first time.
Col. E lott is today a poorer man
than he was In 1884.

dfs Record In the Confederate

gress.
The following Is condensed and ex-
tracted from u letter in the Bsrnwell
Sentinel signed Democrat:
among tho candidates for the Unit
ed States Senate there Is no one who
has such high claims upon the State as
o William Elliott. His career began
with the war, n he was never absent
but once from his post, and then be-.
cause incapacitated from duty.
In 1884 he was chosen as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in the
"Black District to redeem tho lower
section OF the State from negro rule,
and after eighteen years of constant
lighting he has redeemed it.. During
his service In Congress he has fought
persistently TO get for his district and
State o fair share OF public appropria-
lions, and the money he has brought
to his district from the national treas
ury amounts to many millions OF dol
lars; and all OF it for purposes most
beneficial to the people.
He was appointed at the opening OF
the war on Gov. Pickens' staff, and
worked on the Qualifications on tn.
coast, took part in the attack on Fort
\ sumter, and entered with the Iron
Glad battery the night OF the capture,
joined Kershaw's regiment, with the
Brooks guards, as lieutenant, and took
part in the First Battle OF Manassas,
the campaign on the peninsular. Seven

II good clay roads can be construct

would be a magnificent ,nyestment FOR
any community with sand roads.
FIGURES given above show that sand is
iour times as hard to haul over as good
clay But say it is only twice as hard.
oVer good clay roads twice the load
could be carried, so it would take
but half the time aud labor at
half the expense. If twelve tons
are hauled to a one-horse farm at
a cost of 50 90 per ton and there are
ZOO horse farms in a township, il would
take $4,000 to do the hauling for that
township. On good clay roads it would
cost lot over 50 400, q saving of
$4,000, which would clay "a miles of
road.
The above is somewhat theoretical,
L grant, but it is based on facts and
comm IN sense. Though the figures
may lOt be worth much In an exact
computation of cost, they speak loudly

dition as to rural transportation, q con-

u country will fall behind more pro-
gressive sections which are awakening
to the fact that good roads pay.
Good roads mean good schools, well
attended churches, genial neighbors,
intelligent citizens. Good roads mean
valuable lands. In no case recorded
has the accrument in the value of lands
failed to more han cover the cost of
road Improvement!
Good roads mean that the towns
will no longer deplete the country of
many of its best citizens; they mean
rural free mail delivery. If all other
planks were Knocked out of the party
platform In South Carolina for the next
ten years and a good broad plank look
ing to road improvement vas inserted,
it would be better for every community
in South Carolina, albeit fewer axes of
politicians would be ground and fewer
prejudices of voters would be aroused
to such a pitch as to become "interest'
ing"
