4 Card From Dr.. Wyc!ie.

In all my campaigns l have endeav
ored TO candidly express my views on
the Questions before the people. have
never used money, whiskey, set-up to
dinner and other questionable meth
DDS to influence voters. I have al
ways tried to conduct clean cam
paign. l detest and abhor the cam
paign liar and if l can not secure Of
fee without resort to blibes, lies and
ISLANDERS I do not desire office. Just
before the recent primary some per-
sons, for motives known TO themselves,
circulated a report that | said -
Young's Grove l was n favor of an
equal division of the school funds be-
tween the whites and the negroes.
This is absolutely false. I have Eever
thought of such thing. The White
trustees control the fIl.os and l have
confidence in their Judgment and pat
riotism. If there should be a depar-
ture from the present method I think
the white mans money should be used
to educate the white children, and the
negroes money should be used to edu-
cate the negro children. proved, pub.
Iicly, by my opponent that I did not
say anything about an equal division
of the school fund
I know not what other falsehoods
will be circulated but 7 wish to warn
the people against believing any
stories put forward, by designing per-
sons, at this late day. If they have
aUght against me why do they not III ect
me face to face I favor Statewide
prohibition because I think it is best
for the people; because do not think
it is right for a few counties to sell
whiskey at an immense profit to them
selves to the detriment and injury of
the surrounding counties. l favor
biennial sessions OF the legislature be-
cause it will sake $4,000 to $4,000
every other year. I think the State
farms should be sold and the convicts
should be worked upon the public
highways. I think the roads can be
worked by forming two or three work
ing squads to be used throughout the
year. These squads with the help of
the chaingang can put the roads in
good repair without any additional
cost to the people. The 81 commuta-
ton tax and 1-nill property tax will,
in my opinion, accomplish good re-
suits if this method is adopted. If the
present method is continued I would
require the county authorities to work
the changing an equal number of days
in each township. I favor an econo-
nlical administration of the govern
ment and have opposed extravagant
appropriations to colleges or for any
other purposes. I have always voted
for any measures to improve the ef-
fciency Of the common schools. am
opposed to extravagant salaries. The
people are entitled to the lowest tax
consistent with good government.
AS to my work in the legislature
wish to say that I have taken an ac-
tive part in considering and passing
all the important measures of the
sessions Of which I have been a mem
Der. The best legislator is not one
who introduces the greatest number
Ct bills. I have been the leader in
the enactment of three measures of
far-reaching Importance.
|. The pure food law. This act re-
quires all food, drugs, medicines, eX-
tracts, etc., to be what they claim to
be, Before the passage of this act
all kinds Of adulterated, impure and
injurious foods and medicines could
be sold. Now they must be what they
purport to be. All patent medicine
must state on the bottle the amount of
alcohol, morphine, chloral, cocaine or
other poisons This is great protec-
ton to the people and will save many
from taking habit-forming drugs. Tru-
lv South Carolina was the dumping
ground for adulterated foods and
drugs Again before the passing OF
this law drugs and extracts we're sold
only one-half strength, now they are
required to come up to STANDARD.
have said enough TO Indicate the i'm
DOrtance OF the law, although volumes
could be written about the frauds and
impositious practiced upon the people
before the passage Of this act.
Second measure of Importance.
introduced the first bill for Stat
bacteriologist and have kept up the
