cHE rSNNsplrtoN TICKET.
Then Mr., Jones made suggestions
for the State ticket from the commit
tee as follows: For Governor, Joel
f, Bunson, williamsburg; Lieuten-
ant Governor, L. D. Childs, Rich
land; Secretary of State, D. II.
Tompkins, Greenwood; Attorney
General, Geo. S. Mower, Newberry;
State Treasurer, w. II. Zimmerman,
Edgeiield; Comptroller General, l..
2. Epton, Spartanburg; suporinten-
dent of Education, e. D. Smith,
Sumter; Adjutant and Inspector
General, Henry It. Thompson, Oar
lington; railroad commissioner, T.
N. Berry, f Chester.
Co.. Ho t was called upon to pre-
side and MIR. Brunson retired. The
suggestions were then taken up sep
arately and the committee's recon-
mendations wera agreed upon with
out debate, except that Prof. Shecut
thought the teachers should be rec
ognized in the nomination of u can
didate for Superintendent of Educa-
ton. He said this absolutely with
out reh' ction on Mr.. Smith, not oven
knowing whether or not he was a
teacher, but he only wanted to speak.
for the teachers.
Mr.. Smith said his record was
made, and he fought for Prohibition,
and he was quite willing to retire.
He wanted his position known. His
position is that more equitable ad-
justment Of the school fund could
and should be brought about. He
wanted to protect the masses, and
would not recede from his position.
He taught for two years in Wofford
College fitting school. It is false
that he is opposed to higher educa-
ton. He wanted to be distinctly
understood that he did not consider
himself qualified, but he felt deep
seated purpose to do his full duty.
Mr.. Jones said that as he under
stood it Mr.. Smith was not opposed
to any institution, and the Convon-
ton would do itself honor to say it
favored every higher educational IN
institution. The suggestion of Mr..
Smith was endorsed.
The full ticket as suggested was
then endorsed, and stands for Pro.
hibition.
MIR. Boggs moved that the execu-
tive committee to be elected fill any
vacancies on the ticket.
The Rev. Mr.. Moffett, of Chester,
offered tho following:
