From Small AcOrnS.

And from that beginning Richland
has worked on until she has in her
sand and clay roads the greatest
highways in the country. One of the
candidates had twitted him by say
ing ANY old blind mule would like
good roads," To that candidate he
would say, What have you ever done
for good roads,? Have you ever gone
among the people at your own ex-
pense and preached good roads
Have you ever put your hand into
your pocket to build good roads?"
Some of the candidates who come
here empty-haaded and ask for some
thing of the people remind him Of the
fellow who knocked for admission at
the gate of heaven. When asked for
his credentials he stammered around
awhile and finally said, II gave an
old woman a dime one day" "Is that
all" Yes, that's all" "Well," con-
cluded st. Peter to his clerk, give
the fellow back his dime and send
him back to another place." Mr..
Hyatt said that some of these other
candidates should be sent back home.
AS to education, he referred the
people to Maj. Richards, who could
tell them that Hyatt had gone down

Compliments People.
Lieut., Gov. Mcleod complimented
he people of Kershaw in one of his
graceful periods. He spoke OF her
great past, of her men of renoWn,
and he is proud to live in an ad5ol1'
ing county.
The people must not be deceived in
some of these candidates speeches.
Reminded him of the old woman who
in speaking of her love for her pas
tor, said: HE don't take no better
text; he don't preach no better SER
mons; but he has such a heavenly
whine"
He, too, is in favor of good roads
and good schools.
AS to the liquor question, he said
that the germ of lawlessness would
be implanted by Statewide prohlbl-
tion and it would permeate the whole
sbody polite, destroying not alone the
sentiment against liquor selling, but
causing other disorders as we'll.
Some of these prohibition candi-
dates in their fervid advocacy re-
minded him of the story of the man
who offered a 'possum to the little
negro who best described his poll
tical party. One said, Else a "Pub-
lican, sab, fer denis de ones what
sot me free" There were other an
swers Of equally forceful nature un-
til the last boy was reached. Else
Demmycrat, sir "Why?" "Case
wants dat 'possum." Some of the
prohibitionists seem to wish for
nothing 50 badly as the office of gov
ernor.
Mr.. McLeod's local option senti-
ments were applauded and when he
concluded it was seen that he is not
without a following in Kershaw.
The other candidates who spoke
today were Walker Duvall and. c. A.
Smith for lieutenant. governor; B. B.
Evans for attorney general; G. H.
Mahon, James Cansler, McDuffe
Hampton and O. C. Scarborough for
railroad commissioner; D. E. Finley,
J. K. Henry and T. B. Butler for
congress; Charles Newman, J. NJ.
Richardson and W. W. Moore for ad-
jutant general.
B. B. Evans, who is opposing Mr..
Lyon for attorney general, complain
ed that he had substantiated his
charges of extravaganza against Mr..
Lyon and that the newspapers would
not print what he said. A new fea-
ture today was his allegation that he
would never have let Farnum off
with a $4,000 fine when Evans "call-
ed him (Prince) to taw and showed
him that Farnum was worth $780,
O0O."
The campaigners left in the after
noon for Lancaster.
Yesterday Col. Fielder wired the
State: "I did not state to B. B.
Evans in the Jerome hotel or else
where that I was paid 100000 by
the State of South Carolina for help
