B. A. Morgan for Congress

The entry of the Honorable B. A.
Morgan, Of Greenville, ss a candidate
for congress from the Fourth South
Carolina district is an encouraging sign
of the revival Of proper interest IN the
political affairs of our country, because
men of his character and attalnments
have been slow to yield to the popular
will.
Able men have found, and yet find,
more of personal compensation IN the
peaceful pursuits of private life, and are
ioath to make the sacrifice which in
wolves time and large expense, as vel!
as severe drains on the health and COM
fort of the individual candidate.
Il is. therefore, matter upon which
the Fourth South Carolina district may
be congratulated that Mr.. Morgan has
decided to respond to the call which has
been voiced from every section Of his
large and influential district and to offer
his services in the national congress IN
behalf of the people of his state, and
more especially as the direct represen-
tative of the most important district In
South Carolina.

and unylelding integrity.
His experience as the representative
of Greenville county in the South Caro-
lima house of representatives demon
strated his capacity for leadership, for
there he was the recognized leader OF
the house, where his vitality Of thought,
his forces of personality and recognized
honesty of purpose and his ability as
debater naturally made him the fore
most spokesman in every cause he es-
poused. And he always fought man
fully and eloquently for the things he
conceived to be right and for the best
interests of the people; he was always
on the side of right, and never suffered
mere expedient to influence him in leg
islation calculated to affect the whole
people.
The people of Pickens county are
especially interested in Mr.. Morgan $
announcement. He was born and reared
in Pickens county, at Dacusvllle. HIS
father was one of the staunch citizens
of the county, whose services in the
reorganization of the county in ITS re-
formation, after the memorable year
1876, are well remembered by the older
citizens.
B. A. Morgan Globe, as he is here
familiarly KNOWN attended school near
his home till nearly grown, when the
community was fortunate enough to
have school,; and then he entered the
Piedmont Institute at Pickens, conduct
ed by the late Prof. VIM. NJ. McCaslan
and the late DR.. John R. Riley. After
his completion of the courses at that
institution he commenced the study OF
law under the late firm Of Wells and
Orr at Greenville, and in 1885 Weea
mitted to the practice. HSehas enjoy

wishing for HIM an overwhelming ele
ton, which would mean that the Four
r district would be represented by tt
!, equal of any man on the floor of tn
large and able legislative body.

Bryant Park Bench Sleepers
Promptly Discharged by
Magistrate.

More than two hundred men and one
woman. who were sleeping soundly on
the benches in Bryant Park. were rude
ly disturbed early yesterday morning
by a squad of police, acting under or
dcrs from Charities Commissioner
Kingsbury and Police Commissioner
Woods. The sleepers were placed in
patrol wagons and taken to Police
Headquarters TO be arraigned later be-
fore Magistrate Campbell, in the York
willie court.
with the exception of one man,
whose police record was none too saw
DRY, the magistrate discharged from
custody all the prisoners, to capture
whom had required the services of
thirty-fvc detectives.
Mayor Mitchell issued a statement in
which he said: "The parks are not
meant for buns There is a municipal
lodging house for the use of those who
have no place to sleep. The city is
doing the best it can to provide for un-
fCrtunates, particularly the unem-
ploycd."
Commissioner Woods said the prac-
tce Of sleeping in public parks would
have 10 be abandoned.
When the prisoners were afralgned
before Magistrate Campbell he de-
manded sharply whether they had been
fed since their arrest. When he was
told that this detail had been over
looked he said:
These men are prisoners. They
should be fed"
The only woman prisoner, Mrs.
Catharine Walsh, of 2o3 Lexington av.,
was discharged after she explained
that she had stopped in the park to
rest for only a few minutes and that
she had inadvertently gone to sleep.
