JAMES R. COGGESHALL
Is Warmly Endorsed As Candidate for
Congress.

To The Voters of The Sixth Con-
gressional District:
There are five men running for
Congress from This district. One
of them is In my judgment pre-
eminently qualified for the duties of
the office. A man of genuine
modesty, calm, sane judgment,
pronounced convictions, infexible
integrity, great energy and ripe
eSperience--he has the courage to
to do what he believes is right aud
and resist what he believes wrong.
In early life this man made up his
mind to get college education, and
though handicapped by insufficient
schooling and lack of funds, he
kept bravely at his task, until he
finally left the South Carolina
College with splendid record,
carrying with him the degrees of
Bachelor of Arts and 3achelor of
Laws. Few men have ever ended
college career with higher regard
and respect from students and
teachers, and his business career OF
sixteen years has only confirmed the
opinion of his early ASSOCIATION.
AS lawyer the schemes of the
tlickster and the shYster have been
conspicuously absent from his prac-
tice and his verbal promise is as good
as any mans bond to those who
know him. AS a member of the
State legislature he showed con.
spicuous ability, earning the high
regard Of the best men in both
house and senate.
This man has conducted his
campaign on high and dignified
plane, never overstating his own
qualifications or the deficiencies of
his opponents.
At time when politics seems to
be degenerating, it sheuld be gr ate
full to those who love truth, Justice
and right to have an opportunity
to vote for such a man.
The candidate l refer to is James
R Coggeshall of Darlington,w who does
not know l have written the above.
This is written because I owe him
a debt of gratitude for his advice
and example during my college days,
and because l want the voters of the
Sixth district to honor themselves
by placing a man of his splendid
qualities in Congress.

WANTS FISH Law KILLED.
Our Harper'S Correspondent Believes
ltWfOng In Principle.

HARPER, Aug. II: Your scribe
has been requested by a number
of voters "between the rivers
to ask through THE RECORD the
seven candidates for the legls-
lature how they stand on the fish
law as it is now-do they favor
this law or do they favor repeal
ing it? We look upon this law as
an imposition. Our people are
in favor of the game law, be-
cause the creatures Of the forest
do not destroy their own young
and in certain seasons it is very
disastrous to kill our game.
But when we are forbidden to
catch fish in public streams dur
ing June, July and August
about the only season when the
water gets low enough to catch
fsh-it is a different matter.
For four or five years very little
fishing has been done in either
Black or Santee rivers, the sup
ply of fish diminishes instead OF
increases for the reason that all
fresh water fish when they grow
their natural size subsist entirely
on the young fish. The 6sh
themselves destroy ten times as
many as are caught by nets, gigs,
hook and line and all other de-
vices. Repeal the fish law and
let our people catch the big fish
and there will be thousands OF
increase. The writer was rear"
ed in less than a mile OF Black
river and knows whereof he
speaks.
Besides, when laws are made
that are not popular, they are
treated with contempt. which
creates a sentiment of disregard
for laws of more serious conse-
quence and invites a general
spirit of lawlessness.
The father of your correspon-
dent introduced the first bill in
the Legislature prohibiting fish
ing in Black river. This was in
1884 and it has been on the stat
ute books ever since. Never
the-less l believe the principle
wrong and hope to see the law
repealed by the next general as
sembly. We ask the candidates
to declare themselves that we
may know where they stand on
this q uestion.

mer heat again in our town.

LAKE CITY TOBACCO
MARKET BOOMING.
NEARLY 100000 POUNDS SOLD IN
one DAY-PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR FALL TRADE.

LANE CITY, August lS.-Io-
dav was a record breaking day
in the history of Lake City's to-
bacco market, there being SOLD
193,2o4 pounds, the net proceeds
amounting to sl9,o73.41. Think
of it. Nearly two hundred thous-
and pounds of tobacco sold IN
Lake City in one day. The sea-
son, though yet young, is away
ahead of any previous year both
as to quantity of tobacco and
prices paid. Already one tobac'
co ware house has handled one
million pounds of the golden
weed, and such a year as this
it is literally golden weed, be-
ing coined into shekels 10 re-
ward the diligence and industry
of the man who produces it.
The effect of this wonderful
crop is visible in Lake City.
At this time, considered the
dullest period of the year, trade
is lively and in the stores peo-
pie pay cash for what they buy,
while the bank cashiers are kept
busy issuing deposit slips.
Probably for it's size Lake City's
banks are better patronized than
any town in the State. The far.
mers, as we'll as the town folks,
pay debts by checks instead of
currency-by far the more SEN
sible way.
Altogether the atmosphere of
Lake City is vibrant with hope
and prosperity. Business is
good and prospects bright for
a fine fall trade. The merchants
who have advanced supplies to
lieners are making collections
already and it is no uncommon
occurrence for a tobacco farmer
to pay all the expenses of the
whole crop with tobacco money,
leaving him his cotton clear.

To Request for Contribution for
Campaign Expenses.

The secretary of the county
executive committee sent to
each of the candidates for Con.
gress and for Solicitor the fol-
lowing letter:
KINGsTREE, S c., August 8, 1908.
Dear Sir
l am directed by
our County Executive Commit
tee to request from all candi-
dates for Congress (or Solicitor),
small contribution to our CAM
paign fund. Of course we un-
derstand that we have no right
to assess candidates for Con-
gress and Solicitor, but mas
much as their names must ap-
pear on our county ticket, We
feel sure that you will not object
to helping US a little to defray
the expenses incident to our
county campaign.
In making this request it is
not our intention to impose a
hardship on any of the candi-
dates and we have therefore de.
cided to ask each candidate for
Congress and for Solicitor for
the modest sum of 81 so to be
applied toward defraying the
expenses of the ensuing prima-
ry election.
Thanking you in advance for
your kind attention to this mat
ter, | am,
Very truly yours,
G W WOLFE.
