BENNETTsvILLE, s. G., FRIDAY. JULY 27 1906

There were two Democratic con.
veDtionB that year, the first to deter
mine whether nominations should be
by convention or In the primary, and
the second to make the nominations
received the nomination for govern.
or by an overwhelming mai j)rity,
every county in the state voting fol
me except four, and the vote for Sum
ter, Con. Earle's home, was devIded.
The four were Charleston, Beaufort,
Georgetown and Richland.
Shortly after that the boilers con-
vention met and nominated Judge A.
y. HASKELL for governor on what they
calledItbe straightout ticket. Some
time in October, on the heels Of that
convention, Senator Hampton wrote
q letter endorsing Judge Haskell's
candidacy, not directly, but Indirect
ly, by pfaising him as o man and good
Democrat, one worthy to be trusted,
and all that.
This, of course, WIS great sur.
prise and shock to the Democrats OF
the state, who had osen taught by
both Haskell ana Hampton that an
independent was worse than radi.
cal. And to complete the alienation
OF thelpeop(e from tholr former idol
Senator Hampton did not vote for
anybody In the November general
election, excusing himself on the
ground that he had left his registra.
tlon papers in Washington. He there
by refused to vote for the Democratic
nominee and had endorsed the inde,
pendent ticket. The result was that
when the legislature met with about
120 of,my friends In the senate and
house the reformers divided between
M. Il. Donaldson of Greenvllle and ] :.
l.. M Jrby Of Laurens, q few of my
friends voting for Senator Hampton,
who only received 40 odd votes. On
the third ballot Irby was elected.
1t comes in bad grace from The
News and Courier to talk to me about
leaving Hampton alone, about not
naming him. Every we'll informed
unan la South Carolina kno ws that In
'76 that newspaper exerted all of Its
in1uence In behalf Of Chamberlain's 3
nomination, and 1t is the essence Of
impudence for 1t now to declare IL
represents a South Carolina which l
can never know and that have no
claimsor right to speak of Hampton.
Il supported him and did as much
as any other one man In South Caro-
lima TO elect him IN '76. He was q
great soldier and did the state an In.
es6imable service in helping rid US Of
the horde Of carpet-bag thieves and
to throw Off negro domination. The
men who howled him down at Aiken
for the insult he offered them were
the mon who had been most active at
,erg and at Eilenton, where the
lots occurred that broke the
II negro domination In South
na.
,'a'1 loved him, and we love his
j1ow, and 1 will not permit
3,,,,. ing; stories TO so upehallenged
any lohger. His friends and relatives
cause his defeat by persuading him
to do%hat he did. But all South
Carolhians bonor his memory.
THE News and Courier and none
of Its kind have a right to conjure
with his name now that he is dead
ard Twill not longer tolerate by my
silenca the slanderous charges that
have been sent abroad these many
years as to the causes of his retire
