Childs, preside the c., n. d
l.. railway, old him that
since the dispensailes along his
road had been voted out, the jug
and case goods trade had more
than doubled the quantity of
whiskey formerly shipped by the
state dlspensary.
Joel K. Brunson, candidate for
governor from Sumter, spoke
next. He declared every one
struggling to rid the state of Ii
auor was his brother. He said
that out of every $4 spent for
liquor the state of South Carolina
takes $500 to buy more liquor,
thirty-two cents for roads and
bridges, thirty-two for street
lights and sixteen cents for edu-
cational salve to apply to the
wounds in the hearts Of widows
and orphans. The liquor busi-
ness is carried on only by men
of low morals and no mau among
the candidates would allow his
boy Ito handle the stuff. His
eloquent description of the i'm
possibility of purifying the Ii
quor business was attentively
listened to. Wounds and bruises
and strife were the outcome.
Voice-"That's the truth; l
drink it myself"
w. A. Edwards, of Saluda,
candidate for governor, was the
next speaker. In reply to ques
ton, he said he was no kin to
Ben Tillman, but hoped he could
do half the good he had DONE
He had never held office. He had
made important discoveries in
matters of government. He is
the man who brought the suit
against the Southern railway for
acquiring control of the South
Carolina and Georgia railroad in
violation of statutory law. He
declared the Southern road con-
trolled legislation, stopping his
case and others pending, and had
all restraining laws repealed
The railroads were robber cor.
porations and foul, fostering
sores in the political system -
They are not worthy half the
consideration you would give to
an invading army. They are
properly classed with the sneak
thief. the coward who would slip
up in darkness and rob you, fire
your house or poison the water
you drink. The great corporations
are taxing us heavily and it is
high time to correct the evils -
He expected the railroads to at
tack him. The whole pack, from
the bulldog to ratter will be
upon him.
tThe next speaker was A. Crane
Jones, OF Newberry, candidate
for governor. He stood as a rep
resentative OF the home, of Dem
ocracy, and opposed to graft. -
The principal thing that brought
him into the campaign was the
liquor question. He believed the
people had right to decide it

candidate to speak He asked to
be judged by his record as pri-
vate citizen and by his fourteen
years in the general assembly,
He acknowledged he had made
mistakes, but he tried to do right.
The state could not spend money
in a better way than in educat-
ing its citizens. The growth of
education in this state is mat
ter of thanks to God. Manning's
remarks on this line were very
strong and impressive. He ap-
pealed to the people to preserve
the purity of elections. He urged
that the entire state and county
government be put on strict
business basis. 1t was painful
that the liquor question would
be brought so prominently into
the campaign, but be did not
shirK the issue. He was no
champion of whiskey, but w as
deeply interested in the morals
of the people. He is not an ad-
vocate of the dispensary as run
in the past. The popular con-
science in South Carolina will
not tolerate the suspicion of
graft or corruption. The air is
full of rumors and where there
is so much smoke there must be
some fire. The belief was inevi-
table that the dispensary has not
been run as it should have been.
That institution must be purged
of the odium or it must go. Men
will have whiskey and will not
obey prohibition law, because
it is law. He had studied the
question thoroughly and did not
believe it impossible to purge
this institution of the complaints
made against it. He did not be-
lieve in local option. If elected
governor, he would enforce the
law, whether it was dispensary
local option or prohibition.
John J. McMahau, of Rich
land, candidate for governor,
spoke next. He declared no
patriot could afford to sleep
while ills were creeping upon
the state. Corruption is not al
together absent from South Car.

rity were needed in high places.
The dispensary corruption is not
the only corruption. He stood

quor, but as so many others
wanted it, there was no chance

Era was Joking, Too.
Its Banter Thrown Down
was an After-thought."
From the Kershaw Era.

From the Kershaw Era.
The Lancaster News has really
AIKEN us too seriously at one
point of our comment in last
weeks Era on the fact of no court
for June in this county. 1t was
not the intention of the Era to
make The impression that it was
due TO the absence of the dispen
'ary that there was not enough
business tc warrant holding a
term of court. The truth of the
matteris that the Eradid for sever
al successive years urge the doing
away with the June term Of court
altogether because o: it being a
useless expense.
. We were really serious in con.
gratuIating our county on its good
behavior but the banter thrown
down was an alter thought, and
was directed In a spirit of Jest to
that class of dispensary papers
who are so eagerly delighting
themselves in recording every
act Of lawlessness committed in
prohibitioncOunties and are seek
ng 10 create the impression that
they are growing worse by reason
OF the removal of the dispens airy.
We are sure that our esteemed
contemporary can be no more
Jealous of the welfare and good
name OF our county, nor more
deslnous Of stating nothing but
facts than The Era, and we regret
very much that it should have
drawn the inference that its com
ments indicate.
While we feel that the good
resulting from the removal OF the
dispensery from cur comfy has
already amply rewarded the
efforts made in getting rid of it,
we are not prepared to say, re-
gardless of all truth, that the
conditions are altogether what
we would like to see or what we
believe they will be when prohi-
ton has been in operation for a
longer time.
