COUNTY CAMPAIGN CANDIDATES
SPEAK At kIAGSTRtt.
HUNDRED VOTERS aEAR the 0Fsc1S
ruE lssuES--sOaGE sPEEcHES MADE-
NO SPECIAL INCIDENT.

When Chairman Ston called the
county campaign meeting to order
at ILLS .. m. Tuesday there were
less than 100 voters present m THE
courtroom. They kept coming in,
however, until the hall was ecMfmt-
ably filled and the crowd at the
MAXIMUM probably Numbered two
hundred and fifty. There were no
eleventh hour entries on MSnday,
reports to the coutrary natwith-
standing, and every Sne 'of fine six
te@ county candidates flied his
pledge and paid his assessment in
! ample time under the rules.
The meeting Tuesday was opened
with prayer by Rev W E Hurt, pas
tor suf the Baptist church. Chairman
SxH then in a jocular vein likened a
csnpaign meeting to "a horserace.
There were several pretty good ,trot-
.xers in the bunch who would Be put
through their PAGES as 8 sort glover
ture to the main performance. The
exhibition horses were: Auditor j
J B Montgomery, Supt Of Education
] G Mccullough and Treasurer j
Wesley Cook. These candidates being
without opposition, in the five minutes
allotted them had time 20 say very
little more than to thank the pubic
for the implied appreciation of their
faithful service.
Next came the candidates for the
State Senate, led eff by Mr. G M
Beasley. Mr. Beasleg gave q sort of
biographical sketch of his career
from the tIne he was born at Gra-
hams X Roads" in 1875, where his
father was then pastor of the Meth
odist church, up to the present time.
Although he had achieved success in
the practice of his profession,yet he
had elected to give up the law In fa-
vor of tilEng the soil in Williams
burg county, which vocation he bad
pursued for the past two years. The
majority of the people of Williams
burg county belong to the agricul-
tural class and he believed he knew
their needs and if elected would
strive to fulfill them. He had mar
ried Williamsburg girl and all his

He stated that he had been a pro-
hibitionist for twenty years, and he
was still one. He opposed compuh
sorry education.
Mr. B B Chandler referred to his
recordotwo years as County Commits
Soner and six years as Supervisor.
Had been for six years chairman
board of trustees of one of the best
country SCHOOLS in the county. Is
not opposed to State colleges except
when thes are run extrarxgantly,
but wants larger appropriations to
public schools. Opposes free trans
portatiea of Legislature On junket-
ing trips to State institutions. To
decrease taxation extravaganza must
be stepped. Favors taking matter
of returns entirely out Of Auditors
hands and take them on the census
enumeration plan, allowing one
man to each township 40 take the
returns. If elected promised to
keep in touch with his constituents.
Concerning roads MIR Chandler said:
my experience rs that the people
don't want better roads- If a man
builds a $40 bridge he wants the
county to pay him S25 for it. If a
tree falls across the read he must
be paid to cut it ont" Favors four
year terms for ali county officials.
Liquor should not come up at this
time, but he fzrors local option.
Opposed to game law as it stands
and compulsory education.
Mr. E F Prosser said that he was
a self-made man No use to take
up your time telling you what | fa-
vor and what not If elected will
serve you to the best of my ability
and that is all any man can do"
Mr. Prosser wishes to be placed on
record as favoring Statewide pro-
hibitien.
A letter was read by the Chairman
from Mr. J C Graham, a candidate
for Representative, expressing re-
gret that he was unable to attend
the meeting on account of bis wife's
illness.
Mr. R II Kellahan, who is still too
unwell to attend the campaign meet
ings (although he is improving and
gaining strength d aily) had the
Chairman read letter embodying
his views in brief as follows; Fav-
ors reduction of taxes; larger appro-
priation for public schools and more
economy with regard to State COL
leges; reasonably liberal appropria-
ton to veterans; good roads; local
option.

ton.
Mr. E C Epps, the third and last
Senatorial candidate. said that Is Ae
~as not in training yet he had ccn,-
mitted ito manuscript some Of his
ideas touching the issues OF import
ance and asked the atteatica Of the
audience while he read them. He
believed too much mcoey vas being
appropriated to the State colleges
at the expense of the public schools
'Geud roads were of vital inpertance
and the supervisor should have, BE
thought, expert assistance in the
construction of highways Opposed
to State bond issue for roads. Hon

prohibition law. Fawms Statewide
prohibition. Try that system thor
,oughly and refer the question to

Jaws. Believes in maintaining State
colleges economically, but the ef-
:fciency of rural schools should be
increased. Audubon society should
enforce game Laws, not make them;
believes game laws should be modi-
fed. Mr. Epps' ideas were rlear-cut
and we'll expressed, and while he
was handicapped by not having his
speech by rote, he wsmise6 TO throw
away his man uscript and talk
straight from the shoulder in the
future.
The Senators Were allowed fif-
teen minutes. All made capital
speeches, and We beard Cne very
discriminating critic say that they
compared very favorably with the
speeches made by the State candi-
dates here recently.
Next came the candidates for the
House of Representatives, MIR w S
Camlin coming first. Mr. Camlin
stressed the necessity for a revision
of the tax laws. His knowledge of
the ineficiency of the present sys-
tenn came first hand, as he had been
for IL years member of the county
board of equalization. Charged the
present high taxes and scant revenue
to tax dodgers. Favors better roads
and better schools, longer terms.
Touching liquor question, Williams
burg is on record for prohibition,
and if elected would support State
wide prohibition bill.
DR. J H Chapman followed with a
brief announcement of his candidacy
for the House of Representatives.

TRYING TO START
STRAIGHT pECOeD

Democrats are trying Ia start the
campaign straight: seeking TO not only
tell their platform and ideas to tae
electorate, but using energy to get
down 70 what may be expected from
the Republicans in event OF success, a
possibility but not probability.
II is well known tle Republicans
strenuously avoid going on any plat
form pertaining TO state affairs. and
their candidates are instructed 10 be-
mean Democrats and restrain from,
stating anything that is possible OF
being construed as an idea as TO state
craft
But, perhaps, we can assieze a fact
or so from the personal belief and
