VIII you ne so KIND as to an
| n"uncc I" the voters of No. 2 town.
ship that l am unable to get to the
meeting today. l regret it very much,
us | should like to be present."
Mr.. Alan Jornstone
said in its broad sense, if elected, he
should stand for good government,
good schools, good raodS and the vail
dity of labor and all other contracts,
and he should stand for tho Brice
law. Good government must be meas
urcd by the standard Of those who
kept the law, who obeycd the law
whatever it was, and who were for
the moral, intellectual and material
upbuilding of their community. A
good school law was that which was
conductive to the superintendent and
trustees having control Of the schools
Will" they were in charge for the best
interests of the children. He favored
such road laws as would bring about
the huil,lin" Of GOOD roads at tho
least expense and for the best inter-
cStS of the community. As to labor
contracts it was necessary to have
some kind of registration somewhere
that one might know whether another
had hired a hand.
With that, he passed next to tho
l}ricc law. Hc was not prepared tc
say he was familiar with it,
but rs he understood it. it stood for
such regulation of the whiskcv traf-
lie as the people by their ballots, un-
der democratic rules, said should con-
troll il. a generation or more ago
we had the sale of whiskey under tho
old bar room system. 1t proved
disappointment lie did not know
OF any whose approval it had. Tho
diSprnSary law was enacted Should
he say that was IL disappointment,
when the people had said by their
ballots that il was disappointment
t" them? IF he had the voice of n
trumpet or the tongue Of men or
angels he could not picture the hor-
rors of the liquor traffic.
Were the people going to return
to ask this question, with no disre-
! Spcct Whatever Having riddcd the
county Of that traffic under the dis
pcnsary law, are you going to do
like the SOW that was washcd--rcturn
to your walowin" in the mirc? If
they did, they had right to do if, and
he should obey the law rs he had
done when it was the law in this
county.
Mr.. .J"hnstnnc said he never
thought he should be n candidate for
office, but he was Il candidate, and
if the people, by their votes, placed
hlm in the house Of representatives
he should give to them the best he
was capable Of, being always mind
ful of the fact that he was IL scrvcnt
Of the people. Should hr be- able to
accomplish nnyihin" for his people,
it should he lis earnest DESIRE
Mr.. w. H. Sanders
said this was not the first timc he
had been a candidate for this posi-
ton. He was Il farmer and had no
public record He was in favor Of
| nl2l!rf lnSlllnt ntlhllS run on an rrDnpnll-
cal plan, of good roads and good gov-
"rnmcnt AS to the dis|"n>nrv tho
people should have what they wanted,
but he was bitterly opposed to tho
state dispcnsnry He would rather
not have any dispcnsary, but if ono
was hal he would rather have it n
county dispcnsary, and the dispenser
placed under strict bond
Mr.. Jno. M. Taylor
took pleasure in rendering an account
Of his stewardship during the past
two years. He had tried to do his
duty, and every vote he cast was for
the interest Of the tax payer OF South
Carolina. He and Mr.. Enrhardt vot-
ed almost precisely together on all
bills. Their votes were east in tho
interest Of the tax payer. They en-
deavored to save the people every
dollar they could. He spoke Of tho
honor in the position.
I Hc wanted tho whiskey question
decided once FOR all. The people
: were becoming nauscatcd. Tt was
; high time for every citizen TO arise
and assert himself and let the matter
be settled. Tie was straight-out
: pr"hibiionist. He didn't touch it.
