for 6 to debauch 36. Believes in put
ting the school house at the door Of
the pupil. Inequality Of taxation
ought and can be remedied. Mr.
Mcleod is a pleasing speaker and
told several apt stories that caught
the crowd. He closed with loud ap-
plause.
John G Richards, the next aspirant
for Chief Magistrate, came strength
ened by endorsement of his home
people. Has worked for IL years
for education. Had been champion
of Winthrop scholarships, repealed
lien law with some help, he mod

tend Legislative sessions, of codrse).
Is prohibitionist, but not running on
that platform alone. Mr. Richards
speech consisted almost wholly of
claims of what he had done in the
Legislature some of which,it may be
said, were warranted, while in some
claims he took undue credit, in the
opinion of many who heard him.

Think Of only $1,000 being paid to
audit books in 43. counties. Was
raised on the farm pulling bell-cord
over mule and honestly earned every
dollar he had. Mr. Hyatt's plain,
practical speech received close at
tention and made a good impression.
Thos G Mcleod, the next guber-
material candidate, referred to early
history of this county, telling how the
little band of Scotch Presbyterians
in their search for a country where
they could worship God according to
their consciences, had founded their
colony along the banks of the his
toric Wee Nee, the small begin
ming Of the present beautiful and
thriving town of Kingstree. He is
no advocate of the sale or drinking
of liquor, but its handling is mat
ter on which good people differ. He
stands for the sound doctrine of To-
cal option, which Mr. Featherstone
| had advocated two and four years
ago. Local option means the right to
choose between the legal sale of
whisky and prohibition. You have a
prohibition law and should know how
it is enforced. If it is not enforced
you ought to see that it is. If you
haven't moral sentiment to enforce
the law then it was a mistake to put
the law on the people.
Prohibition voluntarily enacted
under local option is more apt to be
enforced than forced prohibition.

of front on local option. More log.

LARGE CROWD HEARS OFFICE

CANDIDATES URGE CLAIMS.

All roads led to Kingstree Friday.
The fair weather prevailing the
past week or two had given the
farmers an opportunity to rid their
fields of lush grass that for a time
had threatened the crops with ex-
tinction. The weather was intensely
hot, a typical July day, the sky cloud
less and scarcely a breath of air stir
ring. But the people came from far
and near to hesr the State candidates
and by the time the meeting was
called to order by County Chairman
Sten at 11::30 a. m, the court house
was comfortably filled The meeting
was opened with prayer by Rev
w A Fairy and the chairman, after
reAding letters of regret from State
Treasurer jennings and State
Superintendent of Education j E
Swearingen, introduced as the first
speaker Mr. E w Duvall, candidate
for4ieutenant Governor. Mr. Duvall
said he had heard people say that
he was too young for the office,
hut that he was 95 years old and
Sfas in active business. Recited
political career. Thinks the financial
affairs Of the State are conducted
backwards, paying Sao0, 600 interest
on borrowed money. Criticized
loose financial methods. The remedy:
Get after tax dodgers. Comes
from dry county trying to enforce

+ Chas A Smith, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, referred to his
business standing and invited in
auiry from home people. All his
forces at disposal of the State if
elected. Will make no promises that
he cannot fulfill. Is not eVading liq-
uor question; is for prohibition all the
time. If opposing liquor doesn't
add to q mans character it certainly
cannot detraet from it. Mr.. Smith
spoke feelingly and made a good
impression
Attorney General Lyon being not
present or accounted for, the next
speaker introduced was B B Evans,
a candidate for Attorney General.

said that although the Piedmont

try knew no sectionalism. In this

experienced in shipping cotton and
lumber to Northern markets. Took
part in remedying freight discrimi-
nation, which saved people of South

James Cansler wore a dinky little

stop the sale of liquor by law but you
can Slow it up some," as the boy
said who was holding the calf by
the tail. No law is perfect; all the
law can do is to reduce crime.
Greenwood and Marlboro 12years ago
were the only two prohibition coun-
ties, now only six not prohibition.
What's prohibition worth to you
when counties on two sides are SELL
ing whiskey? Our government is
the strongest or the weakest in the
world according to the type of citi-
zenship-save the boys to make
good men. Taxation chronic issue.
If you have good things you've got
to pay for them. Favors biennial
sessions. Send good men to Legis-
lature. Too many elections, all
terms of office should be 4 years.
All agree on education and good
roads. Local option 4 sound princi-
pie except as to health and morals.
Why make the county the unit, in
stead of district or township? Just
as we'll exempt community from
vaccination against small pox as to
allow it to sell liquor. Mr. Feather
stone told several capital jokes and
closed midst loud applause.
Mr. F H Hyatt, candidate for Gov.
ernor, promised to cut short his
talk as soon as the crowd got tired
listening. Comes as a business man.
Will not consume time discussing
whiskey question which has monop-
olized State politics for 20 years,
but stands for prohibition. Some of
his opponents had tried dispensary,
local option and all those things be-
fore they climbed on to. the prohibi-
ton band-wagon. Trusts control
everything. why, do you know y
continued the speaker earnestly,
that a trust has been organized to
control the price of cotton?" Claims
to be we'll posted on financial condi-
ton Of the State. The country has
gone wild over extravaganza. The
States income from taxes has been
doubled and every dollar is spent.
A new form of extravaganza is the
automobile craze. So widespread
is the mania for the speed wagon
that Oklahoma bankers recently had
to shut down on farmers mortgag-
ing their homes to buy automobiles.
Our State is now paying 69 interest
on S5O0,O0O borrowed money. There
are other things than whiskey to
consider. Seventy five per. cent of
fifteen million people depend on the
South for clothing. Our system of
of government is unbusiness-like.

KAlSER'S PHRASE ORDINARY.
"Great and Good Friend" Not Ex-
pressive of Anything.

"Great and Good Friend" Not Ex-
pressive of Anything.
Great and good friend" the phrase
ush by the kaiser in addressing the
NiEaraguan president, seems to have
GRATED q. tempest in a teapot in Ger
many, where it gave fiery editorial
writer's an opportunity to talk bellig-
erently about England.
1t is admitted that the familiar
phrase was not the product of the
Kaiser's own pen, but that it was used
as mere conventional expression by
an official in the foreign Office, whose
duty it is to write nice letters to presi-
dents and princes upon their promo
ton.
Queen Victoria was more sparing in
her use of the address intimate. In
writing to President Buchanan fifty
years ago thanking him for the at
tentions shown to her son the Prince
of Wales she merely addressed the
president as "My good friend" sign
ing her letter, always your good
friend"
When Louis Napoleon was elected
president of the French republic she
addressed him as 'My good friend"
Being sovereign herself, when Ma
poleon became emperor she addressed
him as "Mon frere."
