Two weeks of the campaign have been
completed. Tillman and Talbert have
livened up little and had a passage or
two, but otherwise the gubenatoral
candidates are dwelling in harmony, ac-,
vocating the same doctrines, including
the dispensary, and complimenting the
ladies. DR.. Zimmerman talked back to
Mr.. Tillman the other day and Mr.. Tai
bert is advocating the doctrine that the
tax of the white people for schools
should 90 to the education of white
children, and the tax paid by the negro
should be all that the negro children
should have. Apart from these incl
dents and slight differences it is a har-
monious and a unanimous campaign
among the candidates for governor.
From the reports it looks that Mr..
Heyward is the favorite, but then 1t
should be remembered that the party
has been in his section of the State.
The candidates for Lieutenant-Gover-
nor have been getting on very we'll ex-
cept the passages between Mr.. Blease
and Mr.. Gary. They do not seem ex-
actly to agree as to how the other one S
record has been on the dispensary. We
understood two years ago that Mr..
Gary was something of a local optionlst.
Mr.. Blease seems able to hold his own
in the passages while Col. Sloan goes
ahead and does not clash with his op-
ponents.
Mr.. Gunter and Mr.. Stevenson are
still sparring though the reporter says
it is strictly parliamentary.
The candidates for Secretary OF State
seem to be moving along smoothly.
Col. J. Harvey Wilson is from Lee
County and has been member OF the
Legislature for several years. Mr..
Jesse CAN'T is from Spartanburg and is
at present chief clerk in the office OF
Secretary of State, and is familiar
with the duties of the Office and entire
" competent. The other candidate is
Col. J. T. Austin of Greenville, who has
also seen service in the Legislature.
For Adjutant General is Col. Jno. D.
Frost who is born military man, a
graduate of the Citadel, served IN the
Spanish war as adjutant of the first
regiment, and is at present assistant ad-
iutant general, and has done good work
for the department. Col. ]. c. Boyd,
of Greenville, has long been prominent
in the volunteer service, and Col. j. NJ.
Patrick, of Anderson, who has mill
tary training. Mr. Paul Aver, also OF
Anderson, and George Douglas Rouse,
of Charleston.
, For Comptroller General is A. w.
Jones who was clerk in the office in
Columbia, but who resigned when he
became candidate, and who was for
several years Auditor of Abbeville
County, very efficient man. Col. N.
W. BROKER who made the race two
years ago and was for a long time IN
the office of Secretary of State. Sena-
tor w. H. Sharp, of Lexington, is also
a candidate and he is good stump
speaker. Mr.. G.. L. Walker, OF Green
vile, and at present one of the clerks
in the office, is also candidate. He
served Greenville as county treasurer
before he went to Columbia. These
gentlemen as well as those for Adju-
tant General are making harmonious
campaign.
For Railroad Commissioner there are
about ten candidates. We do not know
all of them personally. Mr.. J. c. Viii
born who has held the job for eight
wears wants six more. Then there is
Senator Banks L. Caughman, of Saluda.
MIR. J. G. Wolling, of Fairfield, who is
farmer and merchant and at one
time worked in the shops at Helena.
Mr.. Jno. G. Mobley, also Of Fairfield,
who is a member of the legislature.
Mr.. W. Boyd Evans who was Governor
Ellerbe's private secretary. Mr.. Cans
Ter, of York, Mr.. Jepson, of Florence,
and Mr.. H. H. Prince, of Anderson,
and Berry, of Darlington, and Mr.. H.
J. Kinard, of Ninety-Six, who is a
member of the Legislature.
Mr.. Caughman and Mr.. Wllbon have
been having some words but no harm
done yet.
This we believe covers the field OF
those who are aspiring for State offices,
The Treasurer, Mr.. Jennings, has nc
