It must be freed from such entans1 ements and al

talk by e. A. Perry, the remains
were laid to rest beside those of the
little ones cousins (the Duncan chill
dren) in the Salem cemetery. Bold
hives was the cause Of the child's

Gorkville, Aug. 5.-The report
sentou on Saturday night as to the
damage inflicted by the tornado and
hail storm that visited the Glover
iseStion that afternoon, was true as
faSlsas 1t went. Owing, however, to
hGsinability to get comprehensive
statement of conditions over the
telephone an inadequate conception

toecnIrred at the same time as the tor
nadOS covered an area Of about four
niles wide, and eight long, which
included a number Of the best farms
owned and operated by some of the
best and most prosperous farmers in
the county. The farms are now as
bafes$of vegetable life as they were
last December.
The greatest individual damage on
account of the tornado was suffered
byStlfe Glover Cotton Manufacturing

Large Attendance and Good Order Mt
Seneca Gathering.

ihe county campaign opened at
Seneca last Thursday with a good at
tendance, though the crowd was slow
to gather The entire list OF candi-
dates were given an opportunity to
announce themselves; however.
many declined to make any remarks
The speakers came in the order in
which their names appeared in The
Courier. Mr.. Werner, for the Senate,
spoke briefly, pleading with the peo-
pie TO forget that one-time powerful
and misused political tool class
prejudice" and vote for the best
qualified man, no matter who he may
be. Mr.. Fincannon did not speak be-
cause the meeting was at hts home
box.
The candidates for the House laid
before the people their platforms
which in general, were good roads,
good schools, reform of county gov
ernment, enlargement Of jurisdiction
OF magistrates courts to dispensary
cases, and a road tax on automo-
biles. The chairman read a question
by Mr.. Ballenger: "Will you favor Il
bill allowing each township to vote
on bonds for road improvement, the
proceeds to be used in the township
voting the bonds, and to be eXpend-
ed by a man elected by the voters of
the township?" All the candidates
expressed themselves as favoring
such bill. They also denounced
the wholesale change OF text books
every five years.
The candidates for Superintend-
ent OF Education spoke briefly. Mr..
Smith dwelling upon his intention of
visiting schools, and his opposition
to the consolidation of school dig
tricts SO as to build a larger school,
while Mr.. .Hughs dwclt largely upon
his record since his election to Of
flee, showing that he had gotten for
the county for the past three years
more than $4,000 for the weak
schools, while his salary for the en-
tire four years would amount to only
$4,000. When he came into Office
there were 20 districts levying extra
taxes, while now Al levy extra taxes
for school purposes.
Mr.. Hudson, for Supervisor, receiy-
ed much applause when he charged
the present Supervisor md Commits
Ssioners with carelessn> -, in looking
after eomYicts, * Extravaganza I'M ifeed4
Ing them, Incompetence in building
bridges, roads and county work in
general. Mr.. Phillips replied, stating
that the board had been hampered
by a debt of something more than
100000 which they had brought
down to less than $4,000. This debt
was exclusive of the bonded indebt-
edness. He denied in general the
charges OF Mr.. Hudson Mr.. Hill
spoke to much the same effect as Mr.
Phillips.
Candidates for Solicitor spoke, and
the meeting closed.
The best OF order prevailed
throughout
At night campaign meeting was
held at Newry.
