the legislature could be charged with
axtrayagance. In considering this
matter of appropriations, it was very
necessary, he said, to consider the
purposes of the appropriations.
The appropriations for State COL
leges had not, in his Judgment been
extravagant when the growing needs
and the growing usefulness OF these
institutions were considered. Inc
general assembly, he said, had acteo
with regard to the interests OF tne
Deople. who had chosen them, and tne
general assembly was not to be dc
tated to by any man or set of men. He
promised the people that if reelected
he would serve them with an eye SIN
gle to their interests, and strive IN
their service to be independent Of any
man or set of men.
"How do you stand for Blease?" he
was asked.
81 stand, if you please, for Geo. S.
Mower" he replied. II stand for the
people of Newberry county. I stand
for good government, for efficient gov
ernment, for the protection of the IN
terests of the people of NeWberry
county and of the State of South Caro-
lima. I desire to say that my service
in the general assembly is not de-
pendent upon the views of any one
man Or set of men. My record stands
for itself, and if it does not tell the
peonle where stand nothing that l
could say would do any more"
"Come out and tell US where you
are at," persisted his questioner.
Mr.. N. w. Workman.
wr N. w. Workman said politics
IN South Carolina was somewhat IN
humble, and he didn't propose to
tell the people the way out. Tney
Dossibly needed more light On poll
tical issues than he or any other can
aidate in this campaign was able to
give the people.
Mr. Workman then took up dis
cussion of public roads and schools;
Some of the roads. he said, he did not
think had been worked since he was
a baby. Better road laws were need
ed. or a better enforcement of exist
ing road laws. As at Mt. Pleasant, ne
DEPICTED the terrible condition OF the
roads. He did not advocate higher
taxes for road Improvement, but sclen'
ti6c concentration of the means al
hand.
Taking up the question of schools
he spoke along the same lines as II
his previous address. We could neV'
er have good schools until we secured
good roads, he said, arguing along thf
line of consolidation schools, Sc
curing better and stronger schools
to place the children of the rural dis
tricts on an equal footing with th'
children of the towns and cities.
On the question of taxation, N
wanted economy in expenditures. HI
thought biennial sessions OF the leg1s
Iature would accomplish as efhcien
results as annual sessions. He want
ed a government along economlca
and scientific lines. He called atten
lion to the great good which Woul
result from lessons in scientific farm
ing taught the farmers by experts
saving there were large appropria
lions on other matters but few ap
propriations for the direct benefit Q
the farmers.
How do stand on Blease?" he wa
asked.
"T stand for the man that is for tn
people of South Carolina" he salt
at do not care who you elect COVER
nor-pIace who you please in ths
chair, and if am elected 1 propose
stand by that man. When the da
comes that Neill Workman goes
the legislature and fights the man tn
people of South Carolina place inths
chair, that day I want God Almlght
in defence of the people Of South Ca
DINA, to place his hand on my hea
and stop it from pulsating, That
plain enough, I think.
Il am not running on the Cole.
BIease ticket; I am not swinging {
the coat-tails of any man. said M
