MIR. STEVENSON SPEAKS.
Candidate for Congress Addresses
Mill Voters Tuesday Night.

Hon. w. F.. Stevenson, candidate
for Congress, spoke Tuesday evening
to the voters at the Lancaster Cotton
Mill. He was introduced by Mr.. U. T.
Lowery. His audience gathered atsun
set on the beautiful lawn in front Of
the old mill, grouping themselves
comfortably on the grass, where they
listened attentively to the speaker
Mr.. Stevenson discussed state and
national issues in such a practical
way as tc show the voters that GER
tain legislation is of the utmost :m-
portance to them. He spoke of his
pleasure in addressing his hearers,
many of whom had come from
Chesterfield, his own county, in
which he knew every man. He re-
ferred to the possibilities of accom-
plishment in the mill boy, who, If
trained carefully, has a bright flu
ture before him. Mr.. Stevenson
showed how by proper legislation,
textile schools may be established in
which the future citizens at the mills
may be given free tuition in the tex
tile work Mr.. Stevenson told of his
part in having the house of repre-
sentatives of South Carolina at its
last session, pass such a bill and of
the importance OF having the senator
to be elected in the coming primary
support the bill in the senate, in or
der that il may become law This
bill would provide a free textile
course to the youna mill boys. giving
them a chance toA WIN the places
which now go larg Ny to men from
the North, who nd be been trained
for the work
In reference to she position of
Congressman Finley. whom he Is
opposing, on the canal tolls repeal,
voting against the recommendation
of President Wilson and other Dem
ocratic leaders, had voted for the
tolls exemption, which would have
given exemption to wealthy shippers
abundantly able to pay tolls, while
others who would not enjoy any of
the benefits would have had to pay
taxes for the exemption. He cited a
most apt illustration which gave his
audience a very clear idea of lust
what hardship the exemption would
have worked on them and others who
had no interest in coastwise shipping
The speakers thru point was on
the matter of national legislation
against labor organizations, which,
IL elected, he promised not to oppose.
In conclusion, Mr. Stevenson thank
ed his audience for the splendid
hearing given him, declaring that he
had never had better attention. Sew
eral hundred people listened atten-
lively to Mr.. Stevenson's speech.

MEETING AT KERSHAW.
County Candidates Spoke Tuesday in
NeighbOring Town.

NeiSnDOring Town.
1t would be very difficult to give
all the new thoughts brought out by
the several candidates at the differ
ent meetings. So the report from
the meeting at Kershaw will be
short and IL 1 leave out any points
or give too many, please look over
the mistakes.
Hon. j. G. Massey called the meet
ing to order at 10 o'clock. Candi-
dates for the senate came first, with
Hon. ID. Reece Williams as first
speaker. He outlined his speech
about the same as at other points.
Good roads, good schools. good
morals and good government, were
the main topics.
Hon. Harry Hines was the next
speaker. He also followed about the
same line as at other points, giving
his record while in the legislature
and claiming all that he did was for
the best interests of his constituents
Next came candidates for the
house of representatives. S. h. Bales
made statements as to who he was,
what he had done for his people and
why he wished to be elected He
said he was farmer and would not
forget them. He advocated many
changes that would greatly help the
farmers.
w. B. Bruce came next. AS
usual, his remarks were short and
along the same line as at other
points. He wanted to serve his peo-
pie one time in the legislature and
had always been friend to all
classes.
Hon 4, Wy To,o,. -. ~ a., !,
remarks pretty much to the same line
as at other places. He still claims
that farmers ability has been under
rated and that we ought to be rep
resented by some farmers.
Hon. j. c. Massey followed him
giving his record saying he is willing
to stand or fall upon IT. He said the
boy who went to school at Sicklog
had done all he promised and was
fighting for the best interests of the
people.
Hon. c. n. Sapp came next, CON
fiaing his remarks principally to Civ
ing his record in the legislature and
challenging any man to show where
he had failed to keep his promises.
Candidates for supervisor follow
ed. II. II. Horton, b. NJ. Welsh, ].
c. Cook, II. o. Blackmon, T. H. Ben
hNN't ~ ". NdIu-
ner, all made about the same
speeches as on previous occasions,
each claiming to give the best service
in his shop if elected
Candidates for superintendent of
education came, as usual, at the tail
end. C.. A. Plyler first claimed 10y
atty to the cause of education and
asked only a chance to show what he
could do.
V. A. Lingle followed, giving state
ments as to conditions of schools in
the county and defending his record.
He showed amounts of money for the
schools and Lancaster county's
standing with other counties.
T. l.. Hilton, for treasurer, and
Joseph w. Knight, ror auditor,
thanked the people for past favors
and both thought they would be
elected.
Candidates for magistrate came
last and presented their claims for
the office.
The Kershaw band gave some good
music, which added much to the oc-
casion. There was large, quiet, at
tentive crowd. Quite number of
ladies present, which above all made
the meeting a success. Please par
don short comments on .Speeches and
look over any mistakSS. -.
