was no opportunity for the farmers to
stand by their calling as they have in
this race. The farming interests of the
district are large and important and no

representative in Congress. A sue
cesstul farmer ought to make a success

M. Williams seems to be the man for
the place

all i'll his power for his election. That
was natural, as Mr.. Tillman and Mr..
Croft, senior, were for years partners
at law Besides there were many other
reasons why certain men did not stand
to Mr. Williams in that race who will
give him their support.
Mr. Croft is neutral in the present
contest, and Mr. Williams confidently
expects the support of his friends in
this, Saluda and Edgefeld counties,
which will place him in the front rank
OF the contestants. The candidate who
beats Mr.. Williams will be the next
congressman.
Edgeheld has always stood by her
men and she will stand by him and will
give him handsome send off Besides,
he is competent as any man in the race
and his past record will show that he
is without a blemish. He is not afraid
OF any attack that can be made on that
record With the large vote of Edge
field county, that of Saluda, and the
good vote that he is assured of in
Aiken, there seems TO be no doubt but
that he will lead in the first primary
with strong chances of winning in the
second.
In Edgefield, Saluda and Aiken, he
confidently expects a grand send off
These hopes of Mr. Williams are not
unfounded, especially as he is the only
farmer i'll the race. mean by the only
farmer, that he is the only man in the
race who has no other calling. There
may be other candidates who have

CALHOUN WRITES ABOUT THE
CONGRESSIONAL RACE IN SEC.
oND SOUTH CAROLINA DIS
TRICT.
(9y VIM. p. Calhoun.)

The people of Edgehed, Saluda
Aiken, Barnwcll and Hampton coun-
ties are Just now very much interested
i'll the race for Congress from this, the
second district. Who is going to be
our Congressman after the 4th of next
March is being asked on all sides.
1t will be recalled that the lamented
George w. Croft died early in this year
and that there had to be an election to
I'LL his uncNpired term. That fact
brought to the front many candidates
who were willing to succeed Mr. Croft
From this county there were three who
were mentioned, and one who was de
sirous to run, all of whom had many
friends III the county. They were
MeSsrS. ] VIM Thurmond, w. ]. Tai
bert, Leon J. Williams, with John c.
Sheppard as a dark horse But, only
MIR. Williams made the race which from
start To finish was peculiar one.
George w Croft was a very popular
man and when he died leaving only
short uncXpired term. many of his
friends desired that his son. Mr.. T. G..
Croft should. as n mark OF honor to his
father. succeed him for the unexpired
term. All OF those desiring to repre-
sent the district would not agree to the
arrangement, and the campaign was
opened with the odds greatly in favor
OF Mr. r G. Croft, who finally came
out the winner.
The contest for the long term. com
mcncing on the 4th of March next, is
now between MesSrs Leon ] Williams,
of this county, s G. Mayfeld, of Den
mark. and ! O Patterson, of Barnwell,
all three of whom were in the race for
the uncNpircd term.

expired term was peculiar one and

ency of the Democratic party and the
final solution of the race problem, so
that each State may handle it in its own
may according to its necessities.
While / especially believe in the edu
cation of the white man, believe in a
different kind of enlightenment of the
negro, and would be loath to advocate
his education i'll the broadest sense by
national aid, until the fangs of the SER
pent are drawn. If his education and
enlightenment continues at the present
pace for the next twenty years his self
aSsertiveness will go on proportionatcly
and IT will then take a race war to set
tie the issue. If these two amend
mentS should be in force when that
awful day comes, the nation will be
bound by them to stand by the negro in
the assertion of his rights under them.
and it is my hope that Northern and
Western white men will not be COM
PEELED by the constitution to back the
negro against their Southern white
brethren. | believe that the negro was
created for purpose, and | do not be
lieve that that purpose is equality with
the white man. political social or in
the business affairs of the world. | be
lieve that he was created to be second
TO and subServicnt of the white man
and that every effort by education or
otherwise to make him the equal of the
white man must end in a manner de
structive of the interest and happiness
of both Notwithstanding the fact that
hold these beliefs, am in favor of
giving the negro justice in his proper
sphere. and believe that i'll doing this we
are his best friends.

The race problem has broken out In con-
