Warning To Candidates.
From the Spartanhurg Spaltsn.

lhe dlspensaI investigation re-
vealcd more than was expected.
Even the dispensers, their CLERKS,
boards of control and whiskuy
dealers appear to be much wul Sc
men thrn was generally supposed
1t was surprise to many of our
people that evidence should have
been brought ont show that Gov
ernor ID. & Hayward paid to
Spartanhurg friends, agents, or
workers, II certain amount of
money, ranging from 5000 to ST,
600, for the purpose OF securing
votes. That transaction was in
no way connected with the dis
pensary graft As appeared from
the evidence, but it came out in
such way that some people vs.
sOclate the transaction with dis
peusary matters That is unfcr-
tunate. Governor Hayward was
no doubt contributing money for
what he considered legitimate
election expenses, whatever they
may be. Let TIC take it for grant.
ed thnt he did not intend to nuv
or even influence II single vote
With money or anything that
money could purchase. The VIZ,
elections are conducted these days
they are rather expensive 1t is
not the Democratic way. Sup
pose that Governor Hayward was
following the example of Cover
nors who had preceded him and
that other candidates hereafter
will pursue the same plan. 1t is
easy to see that in few decades
it Will come TO pass that the mun
with the most money will scoop
the important offices. We are
not finding fault with past meth
ods, but little warning is neces-
sary. 1t is probable that there
may be eeveral candidates for
Governor next year. Suppose
that there shall be FIVE and each
one drops 81, 900 into the hands
of special friends in Spartanburg
to promote his election. Itlsnot
difficult to tell what such a course
would lead to. Let it be under
stood that candidates for the Uni
ted States Senate, Congress and
State officers would make similar
contributions. 1t would not be
long until there would he horde
of disreputable "heelers'' and
paid adherents that would be as
disgraceful as election matters in
Philadelphia, ST. Louise and 9TH
er debauched cities. If candi-
date for Governor contributes in
all the counties in proportion to
what Governor Hayward consid-
cred Legitimate expenses in Spar
tanburg, it would require several
times the Governors salary to
pay his way. Let us have can
dldate for Governor who will re.
fuse to pay cent for heelers,
grafters, hangers on, or any of
that kind. Raise the standard
with "Dot IL cent for the office"
inscribed thereon. A poor, worthy
man, however upright and able
he might be, cannot afford to lun
for an office when custom imposes
such heavy tax on candidates.
That is the kind of man needed
for Governor. Democratic sim
plicity is infinitely better than all
the pomp and parade that lavish
expenditure of money can secure.
The attention of candidates and
probable candidates is called to
these suggestions.

ALronso AND HIS MOTOR Can.
King Of Spain Badly Asnietsd With
the Craze.

the Craze.
Jerome Hart tells OF the enthusiasm
shown by King Alphonso OF Spain for
the automobile: He is affected with
an acute case of motormania. He
spends most OF his time. both at Ma
grid and at San Sebastian. in wildly
careering across the country in motor
cars. He owns several high-power
rench automobiles, and when in
them, like Jehu the son OF Nimshi.
he driveth fast aud furiously. In fact.
so reckless IS his driving. SO numerous
are his accidents, that the queen moth
er recently became alarmed and urged
him to abandon his dangerous sport.
Failing In this. she got member of
the cortes to father law imposing
limitations on the kings speed. This
did not mean limitations as to speed
on the kings highway-it meant limi-
tations on the speed Of the king on the
kings highway. But this projected
law aroused the indignation OF some
courtly legislators in the cortes. and
they opposed 1t bitterly. The king.
they said. is above the law, therefore.
to pass laws leyeled at the king would
be against the law. Before this puzzle
the perplexed cortes recoiled and the
law was not passed.
THE young king only recently sue
oceded In SO far overcoming the queen
mothers repugnance to motor cars
that he persuaded her to accompany
him in little drive. 1t was unfortu-
rate that on her first experiment with
him as motorist the king SHOULD
have had one of his frequent mishaps.
But he did. He came a cropper. and
ii was a royal cropper.
His enormous machine, going at
high speed. skidded and capslzed. hurl-
ing its royal freight some distance
into ditch. The queen-mother was
badly scared. her royal feathers and
royal temper were much rumpled. but
otherwise she was unhurt.'

LIFE IN. AN ARAB HOME:
Picturesque Costumes, but the, Wife the.
Beast Of Burden. 4 u.

-slSD ;
3 III: D.. L. Elmendorf in Scribner's,
- At last we We're to, be admitted to the,
thomelife. Of an Arab: Doffing our slip
pers, we were .ushered, thru the low,
dark doorway into a little court with. a
room on either. side. The wife was
seated on the ground in a most pictur-
esque costume Of dark eolors, without a.
well, preparing the evening meal. Hang
ing on. thr mud walls were various pans
land cooking utensils, some of which
were bronze, others terra Gotta. On
the floor was a brass mortar and 2pestIe
fused for pulverizing the coffee. Over
the fire was large earthenware dish in
which a fiat cake was being cooked.
Both husband and wife were SO grateful
to the great magician who had cured
their son that all conventionalities were
+ discarded and we all sat en- famille and
enjoyed eouseous,s dates, figs. native
bread and delicious Coffee. J.a
e@, After dinner the whole party indu1ged
inaeigarets and more coffee. The wife
was really pretty and had more expires
sion than most Of the women of the
desert, especially when she gazed at her
son and heir with a mother love en-
nobling her dark but handsome feat
,ures. Had it been daughter, all
would have been different, for they are
an unwelcome Increase in the family,
neglected and 4illtreated until they are
/ sold in marriage, a. condition still worse
unless they bear male children. The
woman is the beast of burden, the
drudge and the general utility slave as
well as the banker for the lordly hus-
band, who co,,ld not be degraded by
such a thing as labor.
