his claim 70 be standing for local
self government. and 10 prove IT,
to you. when the dispcnsary was
voted out Of Clarendon he did his

delegation from Manning went to
Columbia and saw the other Sen

on to deiIvcr himself Of quite :,
discourse on the evils Of drink.

4 considerable sum OF nlocey Went

if Florence county could fence
herself in So that our citizens
could not get 10 the stuff. he
might De willing 20 let Florence
do her own debauching. but Flor

and this must be stopped. He
claims that there is OF the statute

use Capt. Davis spoke for about
an hour and during his speech.
especially when he declared him
self for state, wide prohibition he
was given applause by some Of
the men and several Of the ladies.
The meeting was altogether
pleasant. all Of the candidates
were given respectful hearing.
and the day was well spent. OF
course all cannot carry Salem. but
our observation is that the voters
Of that section are doing more
thinking than talking. and when
the time comes to vote they are
going to the ballot box and vote
70, the men Of their choice. The
candidates are well known to them
especially is this the case with
/ the candidates for the Senate,
those who are Appel, men will
vote for AppeIt. and those who
are against HIM will vote for
Davis. This rot about a landslide
for either candidate does not
amount to a hill Of beans. the peo-
pie OF that section have other
reasons for casting theirvote than
a speaking contest. and so have
thinking people everywhere.
Thursday the campaiguers
moved on TO Sardinia, and there
too, was a big crowd TO greet the
candidates, quite 4 number from
Manning and some who were at
the meeting before at Turbeville
This was 4 picnic in a splendid

the candidates for the LeglSia
ture whose speeches differed but
slightly from the day before. only
that Mr.. Alitchum was more full
in advocating the common
schools. and Mr.. Green stated his
position on good roads, schools.
and ali the other issues On the
liquor question be is prohibition
in practice. but under present
conditions he is Of the opinion
that local option can accomplish
more good.
The candidates for the Senate
spoke after dinner Capt. Davis
opened and spoke for one hour
and ten minutes. with Applet as
his text and be concluded with
Appelt. He again exploited the
achievements OF the Manning
