Candidate Epton

We have received the following clip
ping from the Spartanburg Herald.
We suppose it WAS sent by Candidate
Epton. Aud We print it at his request.
We have not heard Of the rumors men,
toned In the clipping, and in fact we
have not heard Mr.. Epton's name men,
toned in any way. 1t may be ono way
Mr.. Epton has OF getting his namo be-
fore the people IN q candidate. Still
we print the clipping without preju-
dice:
I'VE arc informed that the report has
gono out in Abbcvillo and Laurens
Counties that l.. p. Epton must be de-
fcatcd in his aspirations to become
Comptroller General, because he IL a
Conservative.
"Wo believe in fair play Mr.. Epton
has never belonged to that faction
known as the Conservatives. Flo has
been from the first the head OF tho Re-
form faction in this county. He has
been the most pronounced and uncom-
promising Rcformer In tho county, and
while large number Of former Con-
serv, ives endorsed his claims for the
Compt, ollcr Generalship, it was not on
political grounds.
III these people have Legitimate ar.
gumcnts to use against Mr.. Epton, they
can uso them and this paper will not
say word. We have no candidate.
but when deliberate misrepresentation
are made. even though It be against II
political opponent, we protest.
MIR. Epton is n Reformer, he has al
ways been Rcformcr, and there is not
man, woman or child in Spurtanburx
that knows him who ever doubted his
loyalty to that fuction"

We have in our possession Il deadly

something like Damascus s'cel and the
handle is Of wood. The weapon Is
eighteen inches long and weighs u

the blade and II person Of ordinary
strength could easily cut mans head
of at one blow. The party who found
this nondcscript weapon thought use

THE DISCUSSION STARTS.


MIR. Etird moved that the papers
be received as information. The OBJ.
ject was to find out whether this
committee would consider a possible
organization as outside the party.
No real case existed as yet. They
couldn'tact. Our terms expire in May.
We are not in charge of the coming
campaign. When we have called our
convention we have done all wo can.
We can't deal with theoretical qucs
tions. That is matter beyond this
committee. All wo can do is to re-
ceive these papers as information.
DIR. Williams thought some fur
ther notice of these papers should be
taken. The Prohibitiorists want our
construction of our constitution.
They, as he understood it, intended
to Suggest" candidates for the pri-
mary. 1 think we have the right to
give a construction They could
notify the Prohibltionists that if they
suggested candidates those candi-
dates could run under all the rules
OF the Democrotic party, taking the
pledge and their votes would be
counted. The movement was stronger
than any one dreamed Of. It was
in full strength in his section. He
regretted that the issue had sprung
up this year. # the candidates came
forward and subscribed to tho rules
of the Democratic party, they could
not be barred. They intended, they
had told him, to work inside the
Democratic party and he moved that
the Prohibitionists be notified that
if candidates were suggested, those
candidates could run in the primary
under the party rules and their votes
would be counted. .

MIR. Brice said that that provision
was simply to provide against u fac
ton taking up u candidate defeated
IN the primary and running him in
the general election.
DIR. Williams said if Prohibition.

sary's friends and tho high license

Mr.. Parrot moved that the chair

Dr. Lowman moved that the action
just taken in regard to the call bo
reconsidered. This was done. Then
the chairman and secretary were
given authority to issue the call.

Gentlemen: On behalf of the
State l would respectfully ask that
your committee, US the exponents of
the Democratic party in South Caro-
lima, would favor them with your
construction of Art. VI of the con-
stltution as promulgated May Goth,
1915, rs it relates to the pledge re-
qulred to be filed by all candidates
before the primary elections, whether,
in your judgement, the naming, sug-
gesting or selecting by the Probibi-
tion convention, of candidates before
tho people as proper to be voted for
by Democrats who are Prohibition
lists will exclude the candidates 80
named from.the right to have the votes
cast for them in SAID primary cleo
ton counted and declared in like
manner as for other candidates at
such election.
This request is prompted by the
desire on the part Of this committee
to have all candidates who represent
their views to confrom strictly to all
constitutional requirements Of the
Democratic party and submit to the
result of the primary election.
Respectfully,

there will henceforward be no arm

there be any armed Intervention; the
declaration Of war by the Prohibition

been taken to mean a good deal and
the outcome Of the fight against Ii.

by many.
Last night The State Democratic
executive committee met in the Office
of Secretary of State Tompkins for
the specific purpose of calling the

Tho prohibition question came up as
a side issue, but it instantly became
the feature of the meeting and the
nature of the proceedings showed
plainly that those present We're not
TOO lightly regarding the move

SOME WAR JE8TING
Mr.. Bradham rose and said he was
about to make the motion "to call
the whole thing Off for two years !;
everything getting along nicely in
State official circles: when the diff
Guilty with Spain was overthey could
come back and have a campaign.
There was more in this than they
thought. This is n time for sacri

are willing to do anything for their
country, he felt sure. -.-.
Mr. Winkler--Don't you think that
the present officials would object to
holding over for two years?
There was some further jesting in
regard to this. Then DIR. Lowman
aeconded the motion of Mr.. Brad

Mr.. Morrison said the governor
had announced his intention to head
