Editor. Koester of the Greenville
Piedmont says that he has been over
the State a good deal recently, and
tf,at ne mas talked with prominent men
OF both factions in the State, and that
the trend of thought as he found it IS
the abolition of factionalism and for
the people to get together for the
advancement and upbuilding of the
State, and that the way to accomplish
that is to advocate measures and not
men. and to get some big aud broad
and farseeing man to lead the people,
and they will follow. One who sas
not been prominently identified with
any faction.
The trouble is to find such man
who has not spoken out as to where
he stands. # he is o big man with
bread vision and independent think
ing he has taken position on one side
or the other.
The people should go ahead and
elect the best men for the positions
to be filed regardless Of how they
stand On factional issues, but our ex-
rerience is that those whom we call
our best men and biggest men are the
cnes who drew the lines closest Ill
the recent election and voted party
lines more closely than any others
They would admit that certain men
were best fitted for the positions they
were seeking, but they could not vote
for them on account Of their politics.
We rather think we shall have to go
along just as We have been for sone
