ST&TEMENT BY MR. DERHAM. He Repies to a Charge by Mr. Walker the Uolumbia Meeting.

This is t first time he has been in Columt Since the final meeting of the StE campaign which was held here. was called to his attention that, implication, G. L. Walker, a can< date for comptroller general, at tb meeting charged that he (Derhai was supporting A. W. Jones I comptroller general because of agreement between them that Jones were elected, Derham shou he his chief clerk. Mr. Derham se that this charge was unfounded as untrue; that Mr. Jones had made offer to him of a position in case his election, nor would he accept a position in the comptroller genera office if offered. His support of Mr. Jones w prompted by his belief that 1v Jones is the best fitted and m< competent man for this irnporta office. This statement is forced fr< him by the charge that he had personal interest in Mr. Jones' eli tion. He says that he b4lieves the pi ple of the State who have honor him with their confidence in t past will accept .his unqualified aial of Mr. Walker's insinuation.

We present here in concise ed form some reasons why Latimer he should command the support of the uin people: ke He is a man of the people, sprang from their ranks and has worked his way up. While he has always been an avowed Reformer he has never at mixed in State politics and has never made himself offensive to those of 1, the opposite taction. He has been ten years n Con as gress from the Third District, being ry returned by increased majorities by each time, thus showing that he had he the confidence of the people and >ia looked after the interests of th'e ite whole district, and in tthe recent pri It mary carried his district by an over by whelming majority over the field. Ii. He has been instrumental in se at curing the appropriation of a great deal of money for his district and or the State during his career, in all an over $8,000,000. if He has secured the adoption of d the system of rural free delivery of id the mail in his district, bringing ad $54,000 annually into it, to say noth no ing of securing $15,000 for New of berry college. He was instrumental in forcing l's the railroads of the State in the hands of the Federal courts to pay ,as the taxes due the State, amounting [r. to over $200,000. t He has been in the fierce light of ata public campaign for over two >m months and has come out clean and a unscathed. He is a clean man ~,. himself and nothing has been proven against his public or private charac ,0 ter. ed He has not made war on any man, he any section or any interest, but has e only defended himself vigorously when attacked. His public career has been char -. acterized by faithfulness to the in fterests of the people, by a broad 3. minded patrotism that takes in the interests of the people, by a broad minded patriotism that takes in the i- interests of the whole, ani not a part of only. ~"He has not used money to.influ on ence the voters nor does he propose ry to do so, nor does he mean to say s that it has been done, but only to in assert that he himself is clean and " has made a clean campaign. If elected to the Senate he pro st poses to represent the people of the as entire State as faithfully as he has ,represented the Third Congressional ~- District. He will not set the in on terests of one city or community above the interests of any other. is Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, a Anderson, Spartanburg, Rock Hill s-or Florence and all others will be re membered and treated as parts of the great State that gave him birth, whose honor and prosperity are dear to him and in whose bosom he er ie pects to rest at last. A R. Frank Smith for Congress. rk Mr. Editor: The race for Congress it, in the Third district is reduced from rk seven to two candidates--Aiken and ag Smith. No section of this State has at made or will likely make more im ay portant demands upon a congress e man than this, the progressive Third h district. It is exceedingly important d. that the great agricultural and in gs dustrial intirests of the counties di :. rectly interested, are represented in nd the national legislature by t he strong ala est man tbat Cant be se.ected--a ruan by of breadth and depth-who will be ire watebfal, active and true to his c'on ire stituents. fly At no period in this country'% his y. tory was ever so onehl at stake as~ or now, and thA time has come wh1en iy vr or should weigh carefully the merits of the two candidates 'Yoi congress in this district. The genial companionable characteristics o: either should not be regarded par from ability and general fitness. I should not be a matter of friendsbil or personal regard for fawili? or in dividuals, living or dead, but one o: patriotic duty for the upbuilding ani continued prosperity of the whol country, and especially this sectioi directly interested. I have known R. Frank Smith, o Pickens, one of the candidates befori us, for twenty years. He is a sub stantial citizen, of great 'force o character and is intellectually strong If.he does not measure up to the re quirements of a representative fron this district at Washangton, then w who know him so well will be greatl; disappointed. He was born an< reared in Anderson County, near thi line dividing it from Pickens. Som< years ago be transferred his residenci to Pickens County, but has during his .whole life, been largely intereste< in, and identified with, Aadersoi County. He has sought few politi cal honors, giving his earlier year to his private or professional work ii which he has been remarkably -suc cessful. No political preferment hai ever been denied him by his owi county. In the primary of last Tues day, he carried Pickens by an 'over whelming vote-by a much greate: majority than was given to any othe: home candidate in the home district In the upper portion of Andersoi where he is well known, his strengtl developed about as distinctly as ii Pickens. The time is short between.now an< the final primary on the 9th of Sep tember, but it is not too late to d< our duty and ingire as to Fran] Smith's fitness and general qualifica tions for the high place he seeks. There is another view to take o this race. The voter, having settlet for himself the question of compara tive ability and fitness as botwee Smith and Aiken, and even if some will admit equality on this line, is i not plain that Picken~s, in all fairness should have the representative, o: prefer;enee in this choice between ai Abeville and Pickens man? Ander son has had the congressman for tei yeys. Abbeville had D. Wyatt Aikel and Cot.hran until both died, New berry has been represented, Oconel is out of it, and Pickens has neve had a congressman in her life. Pick ens has'indicated beyond doubt tha Frank Smith is her man. No othe county in the district has been- 94 pronounced in favor of its man Pickens with a total of 2,409 votei gave Smith 1660. A bbeville, out o her total vote of 2,271 gave 694 votes to Aiken. The voting strengt] of Abbeville and Pickens is abou the same and so their respectivi claims for importance as politica factors in the district are about on parity. Therefore, in all justnesi and fairness, Anderson, Newberry Oconee, Greenville and even Abbe ville can well afford to concede t< Pickens, our sister county, the righi to name the congressman in thui second race, since it has been demon strated by a previous test that Pick ens has put up a strong and accepta ble man in the person of Frani Smith.
