The following from the Clinton
News-Dispatch of the 18th, relative
to the Democratic Congressional
candidate in the Third District,
brings to light some interesting facts
about the policies of the candidate,
DIR. John M. Faison:
What the Dispatch Says.
The editor of this paper has been
reliably informed that DR.. John M.
Faison, the Democratic candidate for
Congress in this district, was OPP
posed to the public school system in
this State and wanted to destroy it,
and we have made editorial comment
to that effect several times recently
in our columns DR.. FaisOn seeing
the disastrous effect that his Red
Shirt" record, and his open hostility
to the public schools were having
upon his candidacy in the district
gets mad and desperate, and sends
us a short clipping from our col
umns, and in his reckless disregard
for the truth says we have lied on
him.
We print below his letter, and in
order to show whether or not we
| have misrepresented him, we have
procured from Col. Geo. E. Butler,
| our Republican candidate for Con-
gress, some correspondence with
prominent Democrats and Republi-
cans, whose honor and veracity can
not be questioned, which letters es-
| tablish the truth of our charges be-
yond doubt, and shows DR.. Faison' s
unfitness for Congress or any other
Office of public trust in district
composed of enlightened and intel
ligent people. DR.. Faison's intern
perate letter to US and the replies
thereto are set out as follows:

depend on public schools to educate
their children support DR.. Faison

fought the public schools all his
