I'm Open Field For Congress

The announcement of Congressman
Bowers that he would not be can
didate to succeed himself, came like
clap of hundred from a clear sky,
or swish Of Halley's comets tail
before the foreordained time for its
arrival.
Mr.. Bowers made a runaway race
in the contest two years ago, and by
many was thought to be invincible;
and as it is generally accepted
truism that few office holders die
and none resign" it was taken as
matter Of course that Mr.. Bowers
would be in the race again; and, many
people believed, would successfully

been when his present term of office
expires. He has been active in his
efforts and effective IN his work, and
has the credit of having brought as
many good things to his district as
any member from Mississippi. His
retirement from the race will be re-
gretted by large number of admiring
friends, and the good wishes of thou
sands will follow him into private
life.

James F. Biggart Dead.

The subject of our sketch was born in
Kershaw county, s. c., in the year 1884.
In 1861 at the commencement of the
war between the states he enlisted in
the 4th s. c. Regiment Co. II, Buffers
Brigade, and served through the entire
war. After the surrender he returned
to his widowed mother to begin the
battle of life anew. In the year 1868 he
came to Mississippi and in the fall Of
the same year he was married to Miss
Emeline Hines. To this union there
were s children born, 3 girls and . boys,
two Of which survive him, Mr.. w. A.
Biggart and Miss Lula stanton, both of
Thomastown, Miss, with the children.
He also leaves his wife and a host Of
friends to mourn his loss. At IL years
Of ago he united with the Black Jack
Baptist church and lived q member of
that church until he came to Mississippi.
He then moved his membership to
Thomastown, where he remained a
consistant member until his death. He
was takea ill on February 4th and
struggled between life and death until
March Goth, when the final dissolution
came on March 2lst. A large crowd
assembled at the Thomastown ceme-
terry where all that was mortal of this
good man was quietly laid to rest until
the trump of God shall sound and the
dead in Christ shall rise. May all who
knew him emulate his example.
By one who loved him.

Let the work of road building
and bridge construction continue.
But some one will say, it is cost
ing too much and will bankrupt
the county. Now if you don't
know such to be the case don't
say so. We don't think we have
ever heard of a county being
bankrupted by it's officials i'm
proving it's roads and bridges.
Of course it takes money to do
these things and we must some
times submit to being taxed
heavily, but it is a good invest
ment in the end. There has
been a vast improvement in the
roads under the present system
of working them and the new
concrete bridges already put in
are there to stay and with no re-
pairs to be made. Let the good
work go on.

The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1910-04-06

In this connection, we are led
to inquire will the time come
when the people, like our Cover
nor, select men for office on
their merits rather that on their
popularity. The rule has been,
for a long time, for the man to
seek the Office, or at least, as
Judge Mackey used to say, to be
standing around, so that the Of
flee would have no trouble in
finding him. There are many
men all over the State aell equip
ped for office and who are patri-
otic to the core, who would con-
sent to serve their country even
at sacrifice, but who are un-
willing to be candidates in t e
sense that they must put them
selves up as targets for misrep-
resentation and abuse, and almost
certain defeat, especially when
they are making sacrifice in
consenting to serve. They think
the game is not worth the candle.
Men should be taken from their
Offices, counting rooms and farms,
because they have been success
full in their respective avocations
and fitted for the position and
not simply because they are jol-
ly good fellows who need the
office.
