THE JAS. W. ELLIS ARTICLE

Under the caption Mr.. Ellis
Reioices" the Hope Gazette, un-
der date of July 10, prints an ar
ticle from the pen of Hon. Jas.
w. Ellis that was published in
the Telegraph last week, in which
Mr.. Ellis gets after the parties
responsible for the gross frauds
committed in the county seat
election.
"And this from a member OF
the Forty-fourth General Assem-
bly," exclaims the Gazette, as If
surprised to find an honest man
in the Forty fourth General AS
sembly. And why should not an
honest man be member Of the
Forty fourth General Assembly,
we would like for the Gazette to
explain?
"As a representative of all the
people of Hampstead county he
received votes in Hope, and re-
ceived them as an honest express
sion of the people" says the Ga
zette. Certainly he did, and there
are also lots of people in Hope
who do not approve the methods
of the bunch" Mr.. Ellis was af-
ter; just lots of them.
"If Mr.. Ellis honestly wanted
to represent the whole people OF
the county he would refrain from
such utterances as the outrage
Gus accusations printed above,
walls the Gazette, to which Mr..
Ellis might reply that he wanted
to and did represent an hon est
majority of the citizens of Hemp
stead county, and still represents
a great big majority. He shows
his prejudice and animus, and
don't give a rap what becomes OF
Hope and its citizens" howls the
Gazette, but the Gazette cannot
show in the article where Mr..
Ellis said anything about Hope
as city, or its people, and the
Gazette says such men are not
representative citizens. Evi-
IDENTIFY the Gazette's idea of a rep
resentative citizen is as narrow
as the balance of its views. If
the Gazette can find a man that
would cry Hope! Hope! First last
and all the time, DIM the people,
this would about fill its idea of a
representative citizen. Too mar
row. entirely too narrow, Mr..
Gazettel
From what has happened re-
Gently it looks as if some of Hope
did not care rap what became
of Hampstead county and its cit
liens. The great majority of the
people have become convinced of
this fact, and they are justified
in the conviction.
Mr.. Ellis should rcpI mt; he
should use his talents for the up
building of the county and renew
ing and cementing the kindly
feeling that should exist between
neighbors. Doesn't that sound
nice, coming from the Gazette?
Hampstead county can no more
progress along development lines
without the aid of Hope than Hope
can go forward without Hemp
stead county" That is II long

while by the last statement the de-
post account was $4,000. The
loans a year ago we're $4,000; to-
day they are s591,000, nearly double.
The surplus and undivided profits a
var ago we're $4,000; today they are
$4,000 and besides sem!-annual
dividend Of per cent has been paid.
One Of the things in our opinion
that gave this bank start forward
In the hearts Of the people was when
President Matthews advertised that
Ire would lend all the farmers money
on their cot:;a when the price was
away down, at s per cent interest
It was an innovation in banking IN
these parts, and he was the pioneer
and the. people appreciated it Ant!
he said that he would lend all the
money that the farmers Of the county
wanted on all the cotton they had,
and give them good valuation on the
cotton. It was real treat for the
small farmer with his one or two
bales OF cotton to take his warehouse
receipt to the Dank ana borrow mOu-
ey on it at per cent interest. Some
thing that had not been known III
this county within the recollection OF
any of the farmers, especially the lit
tla fellows, and they are the ones
who make the wheels of progress go
round and round. And the bank did
what it advertised. If you had but
one bale OF cotton you could take your
warehouse receipt and get the money
at the same rate that the big fellow
with his thousands could get it. 1t
caught the boys and it was the right
thing to do There is no better COL
lateral than cotton.
And then the young men who work
in the bank are always polite and
courteous and make YOU feel when
you go in that they are glad to see
you, and you feel like going back

MIR. James A. Hoyt, of Columbia,

There had been talk of opposition to

yeloped, and which was shown be-

withdraw from the race.

Governor Blease. that there>may be a
spirited fight in case Governor Man
ming should decide to appoint some
one else to succeed Colonel Richarc-
son on March /, when his term ex-
pires
1t was urged in the house this MORN
ing that if the legislature sustained
the veto in this matter, it might as
we'll pas an act to give the governor
the right to appoint the warehouse
commissioner, the State insurance
commissioner, superintendent of the
penitentiary, circuit judges and other
State officials. Argument was of no
avail, however, and the house, after
address by Mr.. Searson, of Barn
we'll, and Mr.. Cothran, Of Greenville,
proceeded to vote, with the result
stated. The veto was sustained by a
vote of 65 to 80, which was majority
of 13 in favor of the governors po-
sit:on. whereas it would have taken a
two-thirds vote to pass the measure
over the veto.
The three other measures vetoed
we're, in two instances. as stated by
the governor, duplicates Of measures
which had already become laws, and
the other measure, introduced by Mr..
Morrison Of Charleston, at the last
session in regard to drainage. was
stated to be covered by an opinion OF
the supreme court, rendering the
approval Of this act unnecessary"
Signs Prohibition Act.
The governor today signed the act
-enacting the present prohibition
law, which does not change the status.
This act was passed last year, follow
ing the prohibition referendum, to
prevent any technical objections. Il
was held by the governor for thor
ough investigation. 1t was not re-
garded that the act was essential, but
the prohibitionists, who had submit
ted the matter of prohibition to the
people, and had also enacted the
gallon-a-month law, desired it in the
interest of safety. Feeling that 1t
would not affect in any manner the
situation as it nov stands, Governor
Manning signed it today and it has
become law.
The governor also signed the local
measure for Clarendon county provid-
ing for a tax on automobiles, in the
interest of road Improvement.
The appointments of assistants II,
both houses were made by. the presid-
ing officers this morning. The COM
mittee assignments in the senate were
announced, but Speaker Hoyt, of the
house, stated that he would not an
nounce his committee appointments in
that body until tomorrow morning.
To Winthrop On January 10.
The house agreed to the senate idea
to visit Winthrop on January 19, and
the members of the legislature will
go to Rock Hill on that day, which is
Friday of next week.
The fight for equal suffrage has
been inaugurated early in the Session
and there was an active lobby in the
