that 1t could not give the clairss
the searching investigation ,de.
manded, as the members OF tie
committee were not expert aes-
countants, and the committees
had no authority anyway q
scale the claims. The board Sf

I last year the income from the
dispensary for school purposes
did not amount to more than
ten cents per pupil of all the
students enrolled in all common
schools of the State. He SAYS
some people say Mr.. Ansel is
Powlegged because he has
straddled the fence so long. He
claims that Mr.. Brunson has
never been connected with any
hight leading to voting out the
dispensary; that Messrs Man.
ming and Sloan are running
on the dispensary platform
because of popularity. Mr.. Jones
makes sport of McMahan's State
life Insurance plan. Mr.. Manning
was glad to see so many ladies
present because OF their refiniug
and uplifting influence. He
went on to discuss the burning
issue, the dispensary, which has
done away with the tre a,ing ha bit
Mr.. Manning voted for prohibi
ton in 1892 because his county
Sumter, had voted a large ma
Jority for prohibition law, and
SO he felt instructed to vote for
prohibition as the Representative e
OF his people. Mr.. Manning ex-
planned in detail what he be-
lIeves to be the strong safeguard
of the Raysor, Manning bill. M.
McMahan claims that the Gov
ernor ls a part of the legislative
machinery as he has the veto
power; aud that as he i. nomi
hated by primary IF the peo
pie, he has a tremendous power
over pubic opinion. Mr.. McMa
han is strongly in favor of a
COMP rulsory education law. Mod.
crate at first, covering only the
children between certain ages
Mr.. McMahan is advocating
schools of agricultural and do
mestc science for every county
in the State.
Col. Sloan says his voting
against the dispensary in 1892
was consistent with the fact that
he was elected by the people of
Richland county on a prohibi
ton platform. He says that
after the introduction of the dis.
pensary law, he came TO believe
In II, because he thought it a
great improvement over the old
barroOm system.
Messrs. Ragin, Morrison and
McCown spoke as candidates
