elsewhere during the campaign. He
said the general assembly had been
economical, wise and progressive in
it's legislation. He said he was ac-
countable only to the people he rerre-
sented for the manner in which he dis
charged the duties of his hign Office
He was applauded as he closed.
Mr.. N. w. Workman, candidate for
the house, said he had not criticized
the records of the old delegation, bat
that he was running On his own mer-
it's He said the State was in pretty
bad condition along many lines, but
The was not here discussing political
conditions in the State, that he thought
The people were competent to take
care of themselves and of the State.
He gave his platform on roads and
schools, which The Herald and News
has already published He was not
begging the people to vote for him;
they could vote for whom they pleas
ed, and he did not want the votes of
the people unless they believed he
would stand for the white people of
4 State, and for the best interests
Cf South Carolina.
Mr.. Workman was applauded as he
concluded.
DR.. C. T. Wyche spoke of his deep
appreciation of the support of the peo-
pie of Newberry county in the past.
He said he had been accused by one
of his competitors of jumping from
one thing to another. He would al
ways jump from position which was
wrong. He had been an advocate of
the old State dispensary, because he
believed it the best solution of the Ii
quor problem for the State, but he had
left it and went against it when cor
ruption and stealing entered into it's
affairs. 81 want to say to Mr.. Evans
! that 1 did not go to the legislature and
jump into another job, as he did,
where he made money, and for a man
of that kind to characterize me as a
jumping jack is absurd on its face. "
He replied to the charge by Mr.. Ey-
ans as. to his vote on the separate
coach law, as stated in DR.. Wyche's
card in the last issue Of The Herald
and News. He said the legislature had
been accused of increasing the salary
Of every State officer, and II tell you
this is false;" that the legislature had
been accused of increasing the sal
aries of judges, and 81 tell you this
is false" HerIyigorously defended the
Legislature and the delegation on ex-
penditures, cited his record, told Of
his experiences in early life, and want
ed to be returned to the house because
he believed he could be of service to
the people. He called especial atten-
ton to his. service as chairman of the
education committee Whoever was
elected governor, he said, so long as
he was in the legislature he was going
70 vote for the best interests of the
people as, he saw them.
DR.. Wyche closed amid applause
Mr.. Jno. Henry ChappelI, candidate
for the house, said he was so hoarse
he would not try to speak, but '4Iit-
lie aristocrat on the street" had said
ChappelI had been all over the county
saying things and he ('the little aris-
tocratr) wanted to see what Chappell
would do when he got to Newberry
today. He said South. Carolina was
today in as bad or worse fix than in
the days of Scott and Chamberlain.
Then claims had to be discounted and
sometimes very little could be realiz-
led on them. One of the speakers said
ne had helped place Newberry county
On a cash basis, "but take a claim
on the county to the clerk, Henry
Holloway, today, and see if you can
get the money. What is the trouble?
1 propose to tell you" He charged the
legislature with squandering the peo-
pies money and with voting in the
interest of the rich and against the
interests of the poor. He gave his
platform along the same lines as at
previous meetings. He said the
charge had been made against him
that he opposed education. 81 deny
it." he said; "the only education I am
opposed to is taking the white peoples
money to aducatn thn Internal free
