RACE In CAROLINA.
SEVERAL CANDIDATES FOR CON-
GRESS IN THE SECOND AND
TALK OF DARK HORSE.

Aiken, s. G.. May l7.-One Of the
most interesting contests i'm South
Carolina politics is looked for i'm the
race for congress in the Second Con
greSsiOnal district, which borders the
| state of Georgia. 1T is known as the
shoe string district, about 300 m lies
long and 40 miles wide and consists Of
Beaufort, Hampton, Barnwell, Bum-
berg, Aiken, Edgefeld and Saluda
counties, all of which border the Sa-
vaDnah river.
Hon. j. q. Patterson, of Barnwell, is
the present representative, serving his
second term. HIS friends claim that
he has done faithful service and de-
serves reelection, but Others will
make it contest.
He will have several opponents. At
present the announced candidates are
Senator Smith, of Hampton county;
lion. g. w. Gaines of Bamberg coun-
ty: Hon. G.. l.. Toolc of Aiken.
Senator Smith, although in public
life, but Il short while, has made a
splendid record md his friends expect
much OF him.
MIR. GarriS was for six years railroad
commissioner and although defeated
for reelection he left record Of hon
eSty and integrity which has never
been questioned, He is at present
member OF the legislature.
Mr.. Tooe, of Aiken, was in the race
against Mr.. Patterson two years ago
He has made his reputation as the
chrmpion Of lower passenger rates and
the child labor bill. He made good
fight upon both issues.
But there IS always the dark horse
to calculate and at present Hon
James II. Tliman, Colonel of the
First South Carolina Regiment in the
spanish war aud eXlieutenant gov
.ynrr, is being mentioned IN this
connection
Cw years ago the EigehcId county
convention passed resolutions callinl
upon him to run for congress but he
declined to do 50.
Colonel TInmln has met in Joint
debate some of the abest men in this
and always held his own, il not more.
He is regarded as one of the m oSt
eloquent speakers IN South Carolina.
His father, the late Hon George d.
Tiliman, represented this distric in
congress forI6 years and left name
and record that will be long remem-
bcrcd

Important Events :

IN CONGRESS-.

President Roosevelts request for
four new battleships was refused by
the house of representatives by the

suit was greeted with applause.
In the senate bills were passed
suppressing betting on races and
games of various kinds in the Dis
trict of Columbia; providing for the

gress a special message urging an APP
preparation for four new battleships.
Senator Foraker made an eloquent
speech in defense of the colored sol
diers who were discharged for the
Brownsville shooting.
In special message vetoing dam

gress that there are pending In this
session bills which propose to give
away without price stream rights
capable OF developing 100000 horse
power whose production would cost
annually ?5,000,000 tons of coal; urged
in vigorous terms the establishment OF
a policy, such as the fllibustering mi
nority in the house demands, which
would safeguard the granting Of
bridge and dam privileges and require
the grantees to pay for them, and
definitely announced a future policy
on his part with regard to prompt
utilization of construction privileges
The house struck from the naval
bill the provision for increasing the
pay OF officers of the navy and marine
corps.

election comm that want already

wan'n't any use of havin' but one side;
but, yet, somehow the other side al
ways does putty well when the votes
are counted. The man that under
stands arithmetic is bad In politics.
He likes to figger, and a man that
does usually figgers too much. It's
an old sayin' that figgers don't lie,
and that may be true. but sometimes
they are found In the wrong place.
Both of the great political parties
are wise, for they always nominate
the right man. And what a fine pres
ident he would have made II he had
only been elected. And the minute
the other candidate is elected he
ceases to be a politician and becomes
q statesman. But death has made
more statesmen than Office ever did
In this life great reward Is offered
to rascality, and that's the reason
there are so many politicians. Enough
votes would make any man great, but
not enough will turn the wisest man
into a fiy-up-the-creek. When a man
that is looking for an office begins to
tell me that he's a sincere American

place, and In this way the lives Of
some men illustrate an eternal truth
They eternally want something. Run
ming for ONCE is hard habit to break,
but when a man has been beaten a
time or two for president he cools
down nightly. Some of our smartest
men have been defeated for president,
and among them was Henry Clay, but
he oughtn't to have expected the Of
fee when old Andy Jackson and the
Lord were against him. And 1t is
naturally to be supposed that the
Lord still has a good deal of influence
durin' election time, but It is a ques-
ton whether or not He always uses It.
