People Should Say "Well Done"

While it is impossible to forecast the
result of next Tuesdays election with
absolute certainty, it is conceded that
there will be a second race, and every
thing points to Governor Manning as
being one of the two leading candi-
dates. He has given the people of
South Carolina a successful, business
like administration and they should say
well Done" by endorsing him at the
polls.
Probably not since the days of Re-
construction has a governor entered
upon the duties of the office under more
unfavorable conditions than Governor
Manning. For four years prior to his
inauguration the lawless element in
every section of the State were in
power, in that they had the ear of the
Chief executive and generally had their
requests granted. In the campaign
two years ago he pledged himself to an
Improvement of conditions by a strict
and impartial enforcement of the law.
Relying upon this pledge, a majority
of the people of South Carolina elected
Mr. Manning governor. No I'M
preiudiced man who is Informed as to
conditions now existing will say that
he has not made good his campaign
pledge. VIII the people ~repudiate him
next Tuesday by electing another to
this important office or will they reward
him by reelection?

Hot Times in Anderson.

The mercury has been steadily ad,
vancing, politically, in Edgefield coun-
ty, but we are yet IN the arctic regions
as compared to some counties, Ander,
son, for example. In the goodly town
of Anderson there have been four
street fights, q la %isticuff, since last
Saturday, and there is no telling what
the six days before the primary will
bring forth.
There are a good many brands OF
fools, but the biggest fool in the world
is the man who falls out with his friend
or neighbor over politics and provokes
a fight. There was never a more un-
ftable business than arguing and fight
ing over politics.
We shall be glad when tho first and
second primaries are over and the peo-
pie have returned to the even tenor of
their ways.

Shoes and "Booze."

The c~onstables who are at work in
Charleston suppressing blind tigers
have a difficult problem on their hands,
but they are d~ischarging their duty
fearlessly and faithfully, which is more
than any liquor constables have ever
done in Charleston in the past. In adj
dition to watching shipments by rail,
the officers have to keep a close watch
on the merchandise shipments by wa
ter. Tuesday seven large boxes reach
ed Charleston by Clyde line steamship
from New York marked shoes. The
unusual appearance of the boxes arous-
ed the suspicion of the officers and
after they were loaded on trucks to be
delivered to the consignee they were
seized and carried to police headquar-
tiers. On being opened it was found
that the boxes contained about n
thousand pairs of shoes that were
packed around 25 gallons of whiskey.
In due season the shoes will be sold at
public outcrY and the whiskey poured
in the gutter.
Yes, it is something new under the
u to see whiskey pouredin the street
in Charleston, but under the Naming
administration it is being frequently
done.

So much for my record. I now
desire to take up and answer such
criticisms Of my record as have
been made in the open, either di-
rectly or indirectly. / cannot hope
to answer all the evil reports that
may have been circulated behind my

sponsible authors of evil reports
are hard to locate; and, also, that
i'll rumors spread much further and
a great deal faster than good.

That is for TIE people to say, not
my opponents. | received this Of.
flee at the hands of the people, and
if l receive it again it will be at the
hands Of the people. l have nothing
to offer them in return. except
faithful, honorable, efficient SER
vice. And it strikes me that is
what the people are interested in.
You are not looking to pension
some one. This office is q working
office, and you need in it, as in all
other offices, men who have the ca
pacity and disposition to render eff.
cient service. ! cannot believe that
there is any force in the argument
that, because | have served you

zion.

opposite to that he represents it to
be-.
I have been referred to by Mr..
Asbill as King George, and he has
intimated that I belong to the silk
stocking crowd, to the aristocrats.
I hate to take up time answering
anything so silly. I am surprised
that a man who claims to think
himself good timber for the solicit
tors office should resort to such
stuff. The people of this circuit
know my people. They know my
father, the late DR.. w. H. Thinner
man, and l am proud to say that
he was one of the best men that
ever served his country and his
God. They know the Timmermans,
the Padgetts, the Dorns, the Will
liams, the Geigers, the QUITS, the
Bells, the Edwards, and others too
numerous to mention, who are re-
lated to me either by blood or mar
riage. Who ever heard of their
being aristocrats? 1t is enough to
make one laugh. If all these are
aristocrats so am /, and if they are
not ashamed of me l certainly am
not of them. 1t is too bad for one
to have to bring up such stuff as
this to try to get into Office.
Mr.. Asbiil has also stated that
the solicitors Office has been in my
law firm for twenty years, lacking
my term Of service on to that of
MI. Thurmond. What are the
facts? l was born in 1881. Mr..
Thurmond was first elected in 1896.
I was then fifteen years old, a young
country lad. He was next elected
in'l9OO. l was then nineteen years
old and going to school, trying to
get an education. Those are facts
that cannot be denied. Then what
think you of Mr.. Asbill's charge?
He also insinuated that | have to
be called at the court house door
and promises to always be on time.
| admit that / have been late at
court a few times, but it has usually
been due to circumstances that l
could not foresee. 1t is also a fact
that | have numbers Of times given
the period allowed for dinner to the
service of my State, and gone with
out anything to eat in order to ex-
pedite the business Of the court.
Mr.. Asbill says be will always be
on time, but actions speak louder
than words. Mr.. Asbill served one
term in the legislature from Lexing.
ton county. l guess he told the
people, when he was running for
that Office, he would be on time and
attend strictly to their business.
Lets see how well he did it. Dur
ing the session of 1897 he failed to
answer to his name at FL record vote
roll calls. During the session of
1898 he failed to answer to his
name at IS record cote roll calls. I
ask you, therefore, who has shown
the greater disposition to attend TO
the business be has had in hand for
the State, he or your humble SER
want?
Speaking of records, l will tell
you something else about his legis-
lative record. He was elected on
an issue. 1t was this: He prom

the State in the business of manu-
featuring fertilizers, that he would
use State onvlc for that purpose,
claiming that the result would be to
deliver the farmer from the power
of the fertilizer trust, and thereby
greatly reduce the cost of fertilizers.
Are you surprised that the farmers
voted for him and elected him?
Well, what did he do? The record
fails to show where he did any
thing. He didn't eve try. | have
not only tried TO carry out my one
campaign promise, but | feel that l
can truthfully say l have done so.
WARNING.
I want 1t understood that what is
in this article has been said In sub
stance by me before this. | am
springing nothing new at the last
moment. l simply want to give all.
the people an opportunity to know
where I stand. Just here / want to-
warn the people, especially my
friends, against any eleventh-hour
campaign lies that may spring up.
l have been warned to look out, and
1 am simply passing the warning on
to you. 1t will be impossible for
me to go everywhere on election day
and answer everything that may
come. l will have to leave that
matter in the haads of my friends
and kins people to look after.
There will be nothing of that sort
coming from me. 1 am unalterably
opposed to such methods. What L
have to say, | either say from the
stump or put it over my signature.
CONCLUSION.
I desire to repeat that 1 regard
this office as belonging to the peo-
pie, and / recognize their right and
duty to give it to whomsoever they
may think best qualified to fill it.
If I am elected again, it will be by
the people, Just as | was elected be-
fore. And it will be to the people
that 1 will owe allegiance, and it
will be the people whom l shall
serve. If | am reelected, l shall
do as l have done: know no class or
faction, know neither friend nor
foe, when it comes to the discharge
of my public duty. In the dis
charge of that duty l shall bring
into full play all of the capacities OF
both my head and my heart.
In closing | want to say that l
expect to end this campaign as l
commenced WITHOUT the slight
est tinge of bitterness toward any
opponent and without any feeling
toward any voter who may see tit
to cast a ballot against me, but with
a heart full of gratitude for every
friend now standing by me. And
shall endeavor to prove my appre.
citation of their confidence by CIV
ing a full measure of public service,
by so attending to the duties of the
Office that both friend and foe can
truthfully say the Office is being.
we'll and honorab!y filled.
