TBEMS, IN ADT,: y V Due Year, ... 81.50 Six Months, - .75 WIN'NSBORG, c, Wednes lay, January 3 - - i900 THE RACE IX THE SEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. The Columbia State recently instituted a comparison between Congressman Win. Elliott am.} Col. .Jos. Barn well, who wiil contest ih?t seventh district wirh him. Wi'hont ^desiring in the least to detract from the State's commendations of k)\. E li*?tf, we are constrained to express the opinion that it has greatly underestimated the abiiiiy and services of Col. Barnwell. Tk* latter is in the prime of life aud - "-"vigor, he his freely offered bis labor and his snbstance to the state and his nnhljff cervine vields not in n>efulness r----- ? to that of any other man in Sontb Carolina. Some years before reaching ma turity, Joe Barnwell received his baptism of fire at Tulifiny, where the Citadel cadets gallantly repuls-d the enemy; and the cratch he wore i'or years after bore silent testimony to his valor. Ia the Citadel, the South Carolina University, and in'Gesmany he received a broad literary culture aad laid the foundation for a bfeli'y successful legal career. In political life he has been a potrnt force. The fusion ot 187i in Charleston, which was the dawn of political legeneration, owed mncb of its saccess to 1 is nntiritig energy. Iu she legis'ature, although powerless to prevent rapacitv, be was able, wi b the aiteis'attcd ot the biiiliznt William H. McCaw of the News and Ouriei, so to advertise the misdeedi of the Radicals^ to rouse South Carolina and reconcile the tliinkirg people of the United Stales to the revolution of 1876. It is exceedingly difficult for the younger generation to conceive of the perolexitiea of that period or of the risks undergone by any one w.o opposed the Federal and State governments Criticism was rebellion; and any overt act, treason. At that time Charleston county was practically in the hands of C. C. Bowcn and the sea-island negroes. The city government itself while nominally a reform organization was fr' really Republican. Bowen and! Mackey m;gbt wrangle about spoils bat both concurred in maintaining black Republican supremacy. When, therefore, tbe up country beg\u to rise in opposition to Radicalipm, it was an exceedingly rit-kv matter tor the peoof Charleston and tha coast counties, ituated as they were, to perform any _ overt act. It is not forgotte* how the negro mob of Charleston threatened in r , 1876 to kill any negro who should rentare to speak for the Democracy, and how, when the crisis arose a colored policeman seemed to be aiding and abetting cu?rage and violence, when B rnwell's shot showed every white man in Charleston what to do. After that night Charleston was thoroughly organized. Men were willing to tase their fortunes and even ther lives in their hands for the restoration of honest government. Later on, when the affairs of Charleston Democracy bad fallen into a tangle, when the national government still held the doors of Sing-Sing ana Albany penitentiary open for any one who should lead the Democratic party, peopie inside and outside of Charleston looked to Joe Baruwell as the man to take the lead iu th*t city. He was not then comideie# too ra*-h or nervous or co&vnlsive. His cool courage and masterful pphit were just / what the cri>-is needed. He carried his couuty safely for the Democracy without harm to Rttyone and without terror of the Federal Courts. No one ? " 1 claims that all the credit for this achievement was due to bun. He ha<1 able and cuurageous support. But the bravest and wisest suffer defeat when leadership is lacking. Joe Barnwell came to the State senate under peculiar circumstance2. There had been schism between parties aud sections in the State, hiving been 4 strongly identi6?d with one factiot, be was naturally regaraca vnn some distrust and prejudice by the other _ ? Bat iu the performance of his senatorial dut??3, ha-has been so courteous and watchful and fair as to command ? the respect and esteem of all his colleagues. Everyone knows lhal Barnwell is a ^^ ? high man, a clean man, in personal life and in politic*. No one can truthfully charge that be ba<* ever uf-ed bie f/? tcl-o ?r> nnfaip ar? OC7P ?v to ? A lawyer said of him the other day, %2j "It is not necessary to a*k Bart-well to put in writing any agreement about a -n case, his word is as good as his bond." If i* not for auvone outside the teve -tb district to interfere too much in t'.iis contest. But it may be said that Barnwell woold make one of the strongest men ever sent to congress by Sonth Carolina. If, however, she 6ght is to be waged f, over no more worthy issue than a dry-1ock anil a few dredges, for heaven's sakr, let George Washington Murray go back. It has been demonstrated repeatedly in every state in tne Union and id many foreign countries that Chamberlaic's Co??b Remedy i? a certa-n preventative and core for croup.
