Wednesday, July 23,1902.

Next Monday the candidates forUnited States Senator will be in Lexingtonto address tbe people on

questions in reference to the policyof the National government in dealing

with the governed and its relationwith foreign powers.The candidates are all more or less

known to the people of the Stateeither personally or by reputation byreason of their past public and privaterecords, and in coming before the

people asking their suffrage to elevateone among their number to the highestpolitical position within power ofof a sovereign people to bestow,they are but exercising a right vouchsated to them by the ruleB and regulationsof the Democratic party ofthis State. They are all hightonedgentlemen and eminent statesmen

who, with but one exception, have a

national reputation in forming the

policies and measures of the party.It is an honor to seek the position

to which they aspire and in honoringeither one of them the people willreflect honor upon themselves. These

gentlemeD have complied with all the

requirements of the rules governingprimary elections; have paid theirassessments for the privilege of contendingfor the place and in return

~ n»nn/if on/) if JoUttve Ik liu ca^icvi, auu u to

bat natural for them to do so, a largeturnout of Democratic voters at these

campaign meetings and an attentivehearing. Lexington has the reputationof giving the candidates largeaudiences as well as close attentionand we want the reputation of theold county sustained next Monday.Everybody should show their interestin the party's welfare by comingto the court house next Monday andhear what these silver tongued oratorshave to say for themselves. Itwill be a day will spent, and while itcannot be classed as strictly a campaignof education yet much can belearned by attending it, so let everyman, woman and child in Lexingtoncounty assemble at the court houseearly next Monday morning.

Col. W. J. Bryan is opposed to theefforts being made to harmonize thedifferent discordant elements in theDemocratic ranks so as to place the

fighting the proposition to reorganizethe party on broader and more liberalpolicies and in spirit, if rot in letter,is willing to see the party go downagain in defeat rather than to surrender

the populietic policies which havebeen eDgrafted upon the body politicand sucked its vitals and energy. Are-urn to the pure, simple doctrine ofJefferson would infuse new life andnew vigor into the dried up arteriesand the warning hopes caused bythe repeated defeats which haveovertaken it since the civil war

through the mistakes, short sightednessand narrow mindedness of thosewho have been entrusted by the peoplewith its leadership, who havebeen victims of the glamor of false

lights and the advocates of unsounddoctrines.

Each one of the six candidates for"United States Senator is pledged inadvance to play second fiddle to theHon. Benjamin Ryan Tillman, so as

to measures it is a matter of no momentwhich one of the half dozenchimes in the chorus with "me too.''

A deadly whirlwind visited differentportions of the North on July20, destroying much property and

hilling and injuiing many persons.

Candidate Heyward, in his ppeechat this place campaign day, declaredthat the South should not now b9 so

much concerned about political questionsas it should be in industrial

ones, and by way of illustration comparedthe prosperous condition cf the

New England States, which had givenits fostering care and attention almost

entirely to the encouragement of itsindustrial interests to the exclusionof political ones, with the conditionof the South which has heretofore

i oriTTcn if.q pnHre time and attentionft* *

to politics to the injury of its industrialinterests. This is eminently

correct and the sentiment is as soundas a gold dollar, but this doctrine is

double distilled Republicanism andin giving expression to it CandidaleHeyward was venturing on exceedinglydangerous ground.

Col. Micah Jenkins, the successor

of Mr. George R Koester as Inter-1nal Revenue Collector for South Carolina,has taken charge of the office.It is rumored that be will make his

headquarters at Charleston so as to
