Entered at the Post Office at Manning as Second-Class Matter. CARD. Some of my friends have advised, that I explain to the public the cause of my declining to endorse Captain W. C. Davis' petition for a majorship, and agreeable to their wishes I take pleasure in doing so.

Before the second call for volunteers was made Colonel D. W. Brailsford, who has done much for the militia, applied for a commission, and I with others, gavs him my endorsement. Later the second call was made, and Captain Davis was an applicant for the position of Major, and I was solicited to endorse him. Having already endorsed Colonel Brailsford I could not consistantly endorse another; in declining to do so, I made the explanation at the time.

I therefore think it unjust in anybody making political capital out of this matter and I hope this explanation will be satisfactory to those who do not understand it. There is another matter I will mention in connection with the matter of manufacturing campaign stories to damage me, it is the report that some malicious person is circulating to the effect that I used whiskey to further my election. There is not the slightest foundation for such a report. If I cannot be elected withoutliquor I will not be elected with it. Then another report is, that I devoted my energies to securing the election of Mr.

Norton for Congress; this is also false because I had my own election interests at stake and I hope the people will not think me foolish enough to jeopardise my own election for that of another. I worked for myself and made no effort to influence a vote against any other candidate not running for the same position. These late-day reports are not worthy of credence. Respectfully, Loris APPLT. VOTE RIGHiT.

The sovereign- voters of this State are called upon to again go to the ballot box to exercise their choice for State and county officers, and we sincerely hope that in this second and perhaps the final contest for this year, every voter will lay aside prejudice and passion and vote for men who, in his honest judgment, is best qualified to serve in the positions to be filled. It must be remembered in casting a vote the voter is entrusted with a grave responsibility; it is with the voter to make a good or a bad government. If men -chosen to public positions who are probability is that the government can be run intelligently and economically, but if men are chosen simply because of their personal popularity without having the necessary qualification, the government cannot be run satisfactorily and is bound to result in extravagance and higher taxation. Go to the polls next Tuesday and select your men just as if you would select a man to aid you in your private affairs. The man who will stop to think for a moment, that he is called upon to select men to administer the affairs of this government, not alone honestly, but with that business care necessary to insure success, will often lay aside his personal preference and vote for a man whom he personally would vote against if the other man measured up to his standard.

Such a voter has the interest of his country at heart, and if all voters were like him there would be less complaint of miismnanagment in public affairs. The primary system was placed here to give every white man an opportunity to have a voice in the selection of those who are to manage the government, and if the people do not exercise that privilege properly it is their own fault. If we fill our public places with incompetent men we have no right to complain, because the opportunity is given us to select competent material. We have often voted for men whom we did not have a personal liking for, simply because we believed those men were better qualified for the positions they sought, and could do better service than their opponents. No merchant would select a bookkeeper to manage his books because he liked the man personally; he would look into his qualifications and it would not matter if the applicant was his own son, if that for the work he would give the place to another; so it is with the farmer and so it should be with the voter.

Qualification and merit should be uppermost in the mind when you go to the polls next Tuesday. The race for Governor has come down between Ellerbe and Featherstone as we predicted weeks ago it would. The people are acquainted with the issues. Ellerbe represents the dispensary issue with all such amendments as will make the law a good; sound and practicable tetaperance measure, while Featherstone represents what his followers call prohibition by eliminating the beverage feature from the dispensary law. It would be useless for as to argue this question at this time because the people already know our views.

The question for the people to determine is, can Mr. Featherstone, if elected, carry out his views with a General Assembly overwhelmingly in favor of the dispensary? If they come to the conclusion that he cannot, then they should ask themselves if Governor Ellerbe is not entitled to a second term. These are matters for the people, and we want every Democrat in the county to go out next Tuesday and vote as his conscience dictates. It is with sincere regret that our Clarendon candidate for Secretary of State was not successful, but he went over the State and made a host of friends who will stand him in good stead in the future. Captain Bradham takes his defeat like a gallant soldier, there is no sulking with him.

The people must now choose between Col. D. H. Tompkins of Greenwood, the present incumbent, and Col. M.

R. Cooper of Colleton, a member of the State Board of Control. Col. Tompkins has as his chief clerk a Clarendon man who has done service for the county and who has the high esteem of his people, Hon. L.

M. Ragin. If Tomkins is re-elected Clarendon will be represented in that office as it now is, but should Tompkins fail of election the natural supposition is that Ragin, our Clarendon friend, will go out with him, as it is customary for the chief clerk to be an officer's confidential man and he is usually brought with him. The race for Superintendent of Education has come down to two, J. J.

McMahan of Richland and W. A. Brown of Marion; both of these gentlemen are good men, Clarendon having honored Mr. McMahan with her choice in the first race, will no doubt stand by him in the second. Then we wfll have to vote for an Adjutant and Inspector General.

The two contestants are Major E. M. Blythe of Greenville and Col. J. W.

Floyd of Kershaw. Blythe received a very handsome vote in this county in the first primary and we do not hesitate to say that if he is elected he will give a good account of himself. He is a first class military man, strictly sober and a pious gentleman. Last but not least, comes the Railroad Commissioner, and the contestants for this prize are C. W.

Garris of Colleton and Henry R. Thomas of Sumter. Garris in the first primary was Clarendon's choice by fine vote. How's This1I We offer one hundred dollars reward case of catarrh that cannot be cured by Hial's Catar rh Cdre. F.

Sept. battle of bullets is probably over, but the era of crimination and recrimination is apparently upon us, and the battle of wind and paper is yet to be fought by the politicians. It seems to be almost universally admitted "that something is rotten in Denmark;" but all efforts to locate the personality of the responsibilhty do not arrive at the same ends. Inasmuch, however, as every one seeks to satisfy himself, in a measure, as to where the real responsibility lies, it might be well to recall some pertinent facts. The staff of the army may have had a finger in the pie, as much of the wvork done by it clearly shows the disastrous effects of political influence in its control over the selection of officers for the volunteer army.

The staff of the army consists of these department-heads: adjutantgeneral, inspector-general, quartermaster-general, subsistence-general, surgeon-general and paymaster-general, who were in direct and immediate charge of the health, comfort, fare and efficiency of our patriotic volunteers. Most of the appointments made for the war were assigned to these departmaents, and the result is known in part to the people of America. An examination into the individual merits of these appointments shows that the most of them were brought about by virtue ('?) of political pulls. A few instances may suffice to make this statement clear. Maj.

W. A. Wadsworth, who was made chief quartermaster, is the son (or relative) of a New york Congressman; quartermaster E. E. Roblins resigned a seat in Congress to accept that position; and among the assistant quartermasters, with the rank of captain, may be found the son of ex-Senator Mitchell, of Oregon; A.

S. Bickham, whose father is proprietor of Dayton (Ohio) Journal; L. C. Criscowi, Candidates to be Voted for Next Tuesday. The following, not having received a majority, will be voted for in the second primary, which takes place Tuesday, September 13th State Officers-Governor, W.
