Lowndes J. Browning has two prin-
cipal planks on which he bases his
appeal for votes. He is opposed to the
present personal property tax of South
Carolina on the grounds OF its made
quacy and inefficient results and
would substitute in lieu thereof a tax
on inheritance and incomes, similar
to the federal income tax law. He ar
CUES that under the laws Of the rer
sonal property tax poor man with
visible assets pays taxes on all CT
them while the capitalists witt stocks
and bonds pays taxes on only such
part of item as he plea:cs.
The other plank is that OF rural
credits, by which he plans to help
tenants to become owners OF their
farms and homes. He advocates that
the state lend these men from $1,000
to $4,000 on long time, say 20 years.

secure the money for these loans the
state could float coupon bonds.
Mr.. Browning is against the abuse
Of the pardoning power and is for the
strict enforcement of the laws on the
statute books of the state. Mr. Brown

house OF representatives and during
one term was chairman Of the ways

fails to tell of some special instances

He states that he has looked in many
counties in the state and has not been
able to find any place where there
were not ample facilities for every

Mr.. Cooper states that he will hold

that he will let the verdicts Of juries
stand unless It can be shown to him
beyond doubt that 1t would promote
Justice by use of clemency. He states
that he will not interfere In local

Gates Is "cheap money" for the peo.
pie Of the state for the purpose of
owning their homes and farms. He
argues that the continual exodus of
white farmers from the country to
the towns of the state Is the basic
cause of the present high cost Of liv-
ing, because this movement decreases
the production and increases the de-
mand. He states that the competition
Of negro landowners will in time
cause the farmers Of the state to
leave South Carolina.
Mr.. Irby advocates the appoint
ment Of corporation commission,
composed of four officials Of the state
government and a representative Of
the mill workers, who shall have
charge Of all affairs pertaining to the
mill and the regulation Of wages.

vocate Of law enforcement and each

nunciation of the abuse Of the par

gard of laws will be wiped out so that

home at St. Peter. Hard struggling,
without much personal gain, Jacob
Schmahl came to Redwood Falls in
1869, where he determined to locate
and establish a brewery, and in 1870,
the family moved here. The head of
the family was unsuccessful in his
venture and Mrs. Schmahl devoted her
time to the support of the children
and in getting them established in vari-
Gus occupations in which she proved
remarkable. Prior to 1876 the dane
ing parties of the town, with their
bountiful suppers, were held in what
was known as Schamhl's hall, and it
was Mrs. Schmahl and her daughters
that always superintendent the cuisine
With the destruction of the old home
in 1876, and the building of the new
home, now On the corner Of Second
and Bridge streets, these parties were
abandoned, and Mrs. Schmahl strug-
gled In other lines until her children
were able to assist her to make the
latter years full of comfort. Sew.
eral years ago she took up her resi-
dence with her youngest daughter
Mrs. John ]. Palmer, at Duluth, and
it was at this home that she passed
away.

bers of the Schmahl family all being
present on that momentous occasion
When the attempt to change the
location of the capitol was abandoned
Traverse des Sioux declined and its
little commerce was nothing. The
Schmahl family moved on to farm
three miles east of Fort Ridgely, and
