JUDGE CRISP WILL LEAVE TODAY
FOR COLORADO TO TAKE A REST
Will Spend Several Weeks There 10 The End Of RGgalnDg
His HGaIIh-Mrs. Crisp to Accompany Him to COL
OradO Springs His friends Hope For Early and
Complete Restoration to Health

Representative Charles R. Crisp &C
companied by Mrs. Crisp, will leave
Washington today for Colorado Springs
where Judge Crisp, under the advice
C. his physician in Washington, will
remain several weeks, seeking COM
plete rest from recent adduous duties
The condition OF his health is very
greatly regretted among his friends in
Americas, as throughout the congress
icnal district and state,
Since returning to Washington a
month ago, after having been confined
for several weeks to his home in Amer
icus, with fever and lagrippe, Judge
Crips's health has not improved to
any extent and the physician there has
recommended complete rest in Colo
redo.
In formal statement to his consti-
tuents, Representative Crisp praised
their indulgence for his temporary ab-
sence from his official duties remind
ing them that he has broken down
while in their service and on his re-
turn, which will be at the earliest pos
sible moment, he will work for them
with redoubled zeal.
The physicians of Representative
Crisp believe that his labors as par
liamentary clerk at the Baltimore con
vention, where he was on strain dav
ind night for week, partly served %
undermine his none too vigorous
health.
Representative Crisp will be accom-
panied by Mrs Crisp, but his sou,
Charles, will return to Americas to
pursue his studies here.
The formal statement issued by
Judge Crisp follows:
ITO the People OF the Third Congress
sional District / have been advised
by my physicians that on account Of
overwork my health became very muca
run down; that severe attack d
grippe which had during the Christ
mas holidays, followed by pleurisy, has
left me in such depleted physical

CANDIDATES ARE HUSTLING
After The Man Behind The
Ballot

With the announcement yesterday Ct
such an array of candidates for county
office in Sumter, together with the as
sured proposition that other sprinters
still would take the track, attention
may, to an extent, be switched
from other exciting events here to
the political arena. There are many
Offices to be filed; the pay is good and
the work not arduous, hence the stam-
pede towards the pie counter, where
are distributed the loaves aud fishes.
All of the present able corps OF
county officials whose terms of office
expire with the current year, have an
nounced for reelection, while others
still will shy their castors into the
ring and join the candidatal race.
Already Mr.. w. C. Gray has announce
ed for the Office of tax receiver, OPP
posing Mr.. John T. Howell, the pres
ent incumbent, while Mr.. H. D. Watts
is out for the treasurer's Office in oppo-
sition to Capt. p H. Williams, your
Uncle Patrick
This primary for county officers will
be held March 18th, and as soon as the
smoke. lifts from the field of carnage
and the survivors take the jobs, the
decks will be cleared for the legisla-
tive primary Sumter names the sen
ator from the Thirteenth senatorial
district this year, as wei as two mem
bers of the house and there may be a
bunch of aspirants for these legis-
lative honors, though none are yet sug-
gested.

one month from today-March 12-and
the campaign will be short and siren

COOKS AND WATERS TROUBLES.

FL Paso. Texas. Oct S. IA
Editor FL PasO Herald;
Please permit me a word in reply
to a statement by president Carroll in
this mornings hines
President CAROLS statement is alb
solutely- correct in every detail with the
exception of the reason he gives Tor the
action which he induced the cooks and
walters TO take at their last meeting
and even this reason would sound
plausible TO anyone not familiar with
conditions in the Central Labor union
Outside OF the Central Labor union
there is a popular impression that
there are two factions Of delegates in
that body fighting among themselves.
The belief OF a large majority Of the
members Of the Central Labor union is
that a certain political bunch is at
tempting TO control that body for its
own political purposes or. failing in
thar. to disrupt and disorganiZe il en-
tirely This IS striking at a vital
principle. at the foundation OF all un-
ion labor organizations and 7 have al
ways taken the stand that politics must
stay out of all labor unions Inasmuch
as I never asked or suggested that
anyone should vote for me, I under
stand the recent action Of the Central
Labor union in electinE me secretary
treasurer TO be an endorsement OF this
principle. But IL q certain political
