The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1902-08-01

demning his course in this matter
amounted to nothing, and had only
been made to fool somebody. What
the people wanted was results. He
couldn't change the Philippine pol
icy and the protective tariff policy
He condemned it and voted against
it, and could do nothing more. He
had been condemned for getting a
small appropriation for Newberry
College, and it had been said that he
did not get it. It was true a lawyer
had contract of about twenty years
standing, but he had planned and
introduced the bill, and he got the
results.
He was having the soil surveyed
now in order to let the farmers see
what crops could best be grown.
Had got some of the new public
land for the thirteen original States,
which had got none until he went to
Congress.
Practical results were wanted, and
lawyers were not the only men in the
county who could get them. Are
you going to put these lawyers in
Congress just because you think they
can speak?
Voices: "No," "no."
He had never spoken in Congress
unless he had something to say, and
when he did he could say it about as
we'll as any one else. He didn't be-
lieve in buncombe.
Wanted business lines and busl-
ness methods and practical results.
Wanted Northern capital in the
South first of all.
HON. D. s. HENDERSON,
of Aiken, knew from his experience
in twenty four counties of this State,
that the people were discussing Dlat-
ters and thinking for themselves
upon the great questions before
them, and this was healthy state of
affairs. He didn't claim to be better
than any of his opponents. He had
been told that it was useless to come
into the Third District, but he didn't
believe it.
In the Senate something more was
wanted than mere bureau man, a
man who can secure appropriations
and seed from the Republican party.
Next to the President senator had
the most power of any man in these
United States.
The people had been told today
that there was no use to discuss
tariff and ship subsidy and other
things, they couldn't be changed.
That as exactly what the Republi-
can party wanted the Southern peo-
pie to think. They were perfectly
willing to give them few little
appropriations and bundles of seed
if they would only let their Pet meas
ures alone.
Mr. Latlmer didn't like lawyers.
Yesterday he met Mr.. Latimer's
son. He never met more noble
looking young man. He was study
ing law, and be Henderson, told
him if he ever came before the peo
pie of the Third District seeking
votes, he hoped the fact that he was
lawyer, would not be used against
him.
He condemned the Republican
party in the Philippines, and be-
lieved in speaking out against it.
Everybody is in favor of honest ex-
pansion, and the Democratic party
under the lead of Jefferson expanded
and took in Louisiana. We have
expanded to the Pacific, but it was
with the consent of those people.
The American nation was in the
Philippines today with the Bible in
one hand and the rifle in the other.
On humanitarian grounds and also
for the reason that the products OF
these islands would compete with
those of the South, he condemned
the policy of holding the islands.
The worst enemy of this country
was not trusts, Imperialism, etc., but
the producers of these things.
