The campaign meeting here for
the Senatorial candidates takes place
Saturday. Men of Williamsburg
county have always been noted for
their love of fair play, and We hope
that our fellow citizens will main
tain our county's reputation. We
bespeak for each candidate a re-
spectfu, attentive hearing, regard
less of political preferences Cut
out the ''heckling"!

Though, doubtless, well meant
the so-called elimination conven-
ton" was about the poorest strate-
gical tactics from political stand
point that we ever heard Of. 1t is
to be supposed that Il half dozen
candidates for Governor, who have
paid their assessment fee, their
travelling expenses and borne the
heat and burden OF the day over
more than half the State, would
quietly step aside, a la Alphonse-
Castor, and hand the Gubernator-
ial nomination to competitor chos-
en- by handful of soi-disant arbi-
ters of the anti-Blease faction.
Well, hardly. When did you ever
see a candidate for office who did
not see victory staring him in the
face? Have the other candidates
withdraw? Perish the thought.

we needed more money to build
more roads. The condition of the
schools did not improve until the
people went down in their jeans and
put up more money for the purpose.
He said some sections had good roads
two years ago but he didn't know
of any now. He didn't attack Mr.
Eaddy's or any one else's record, but
if elected and after two or four
years found that he had an elephant
on his hands he'd quit, too, as Mr.
Eaddy had done.
HID FERRELL.
Mr. Ferrell said he was no orator,
that it did not require an orator to
build roads; that more work and
less talk was needed, and if he was
elected Road Engineer no one would
regret having supported him.
JP FRIERSoN.
Mr. Frierson stated that he was a
candidate two years ago for the
office of Road Engineer and only
had one proposition to make: EquGl
work to all and special privileges to
none"
TP FULMORE.
Mr. Fillmore thought his business
experience fitted him for the Office
of Road Engineer, and promised if
elected to give the office special at
tention, to give each section of the
county an equal share of the chain
gang work.
CT sTUCKEY.
Mr. Stuckey said he was first in
troduced in that section four years
ago as road builder, but came be-
fore them today asking them to
elect him to the office of Road
Engineer.
Like all the other candidates, those
running for the House of Repre-
sentatives were alphabetically ar
ranged on the presiding officers list
and were introduced as follows, eight
minutes being the time allowed each
speaker:
B B CHANDLER.
Mr. Chandler came forward in his
shirt sleeves and his handless arm in
sling, and apparently irritated be-
cause of the short time allotted to
Legislative candidates. He felt that
they should not be gagged by time
limit. He did not believe in such
enormous appropriations of money
being made to Clemson college and
thought each county should have
portion of the guano tag tax for the
improvement of its rural schools.
He stood for compulsory education,
road improvement, equalization of
taxation and wanted to remedy the
law governing the analyzation of
fertilizers. When asked by Sheriff
Graham if he was in favor of the
law providing for rural policemen,
MIR Chandler said he was. !
j M GRAHAM.
1t was a pleasure to Mr. Graham,
he said, to find that he had so many
friends around Johnsonville. He
was proud of the people of john
sonville and had made the biggest
fight of his life when d move was
made to cut her off from Williams |
burg. Mr. Graham said it would
take him a day and a half to discuss
the principal issues of the day. The
most important one he thought was
compulsory education, which he did
not favor, but was open to convic-
ton. He was in favor of improved

Dallastown Family Has
Narrow Escape From Death

Dallastown, Pa, Feb. 27.-Peter
sFloyd. his wife, and three children,
were close to asphyxiation at an early
shour. yesterday and the home had a
marrow escape from an explosion from
illuminating gas. A leak in the cell
lar pipe allowed the gas to fill the
shouse during the night, but the early
srising of Mr.. Floyd possibly saved
shimself and family. Though stagger-
ding from the effects and deathly sick
9he managed to reach a neighboring
factory and telephoned for a doctor.
tThen he carried his three children
down stairs. All were greatly affected
and vomited freely. Mr.. Floyd was
the least sick. Fresh airs and the ar
rival of the physician placed them out
sof danger. 1t was then discovered
that lighted lantern had been left
in the cellar where the gas escaped,
and an explosion was imminent at any
moment. Mr.. Floyd, however, weak
as he was, put out and brought up
the lamp before the gas became dense
enough to cause an ignition from the
light.

Mayor Has Chance to
Accuse Shuman in Person

Mayor John K. Royal had chance
this afternoon to repeat before w. H.
Shuman, the new motor patrol chauf-
feur appointee, certain charges prefer
red at Tuesdays meeting Of Council.
In Council Mayor Royal objected to
the confirmation of Shuman as q sue
cessor to Hiram Wagner on the ground
that he had been drinking on duty,
had been in insubordinate and pro
fame. Pending an ivestigation of these
charges, Shuman's name was held up.
Wagner is dropped by the ripper
resolution, and IL Shuman's appoint
ment Is not confirmed. q new man will
have to be chosen.
Behind closed doors City Council
met this afternoon to consider the
charges against Shuman. Shuman
himself was present. With him were
TWO other officers, whom he contends,
accompanied him when on duty.
The executive session on the Shu-
man incident followed the conference
on the new budget and license tax or
dinances.

New Patrolmen to Be
Sworn in This Evening

Harrisburg's new patrolmen, whose
appointment was confirmed Tuesday
afternoon by Council. will be sworn in
by Mayor John X. Royal this evening,
at 1880 o'clock. They will go on duty
Sunday evening, at o'clock.
For the first month, in order to allow
the new men to become thoroughly ac-
quainted with the work of a patrolman, i,
the new men will be on night duty, in
Guiding Sergeants j. Frank Page and
Grant Eisenberger, who will be in
charge of the night squad. The only
new man not assigned to night duty is
Patrolman Mcfarland, who will be on
the reserve list during the first month.
1t is the custom to allow thirty days
for new patrolmen to secure uniforms,
but 1t is probable that at least six of
the new appointees will be in uniform
Sunday night, as three of the men were
former patrolmen. Three of the new
men have purchased uniforms from re-
firing patrolmen.
