PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY
CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR.

The candidates for governor
are making known their respec-
tive platforms at this time
which, to our mind is a good
idea, even though some of them
reach the conclusion later they
have nisjudged the Intelligence
of the masses. Our good friend
Mai. John G.. Richards, without
anybody asking him, has inject
ed the liquor question into his
platform; in this we think him
rather unfortunate. We recall
how great he was in the cham
ploning of the cause of the late,
but rot lamented state dispen-
sary. how he fought and strug-
gled to retain that demoralizing
institution, like "the boy that
stood on the burning deck
whence all but him had fed'

then, and not until then, did he

bitionists. 1t was q beautiful

ards rushing out of the camp OF
the state.dispensarites, into the
prohibition camp, pushing the
stalwart Prohibitionists out Of
the way to make room for him.
He, without any rehearsing, be.
came a Prohibitionist of ProEi-
bitionists. more orthodox than
the superintendent of the anti
saloon league, if that is possible.
He became a soaked-in- the wool
Prohibitionist, and now what do
We find? This same John G..
Richards in his platform advo-
eating Local Option-Whew!
We should not complain at
having converts to our cause,
but what gets our goat is a con.
vert so eel.hke that you cannot
know how long he has come to
stay-the length of his enlist
ment, because of this, we do not
rejoice, or go into ecstacies over
the convert. Richards a Local
Optionist, is enough to jar those
who have kept up with his
career. His two cent rate prop
osition is perhaps the most con-
sistent utterance he has made.
Major Richards is not alone in
this falIacy. Hon. Charles A.
Smith too, as well as Governor
Blease, seem to see the justice
OF agitating q two cent passen-
ger rate on railroad trains, but
it so happens that we believed
when this matter was pending
in the general assembly it was
not for the public good, and
have seen nothing since to
change our belief, we cannot
agree with them. The readers of
current news cannot but be con.
vinced Of the wisdom of the
South Carolina senate in not
permitting the two cent rate bill
to become a law; look at the
conditions on one of the greatest
railroad systems in the United
States, brought about by the
requirements of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, let alone
the several state legislatures,
the Pennsylvania system has
taken off nearly two hundred
trains, and thrown out of en-
ployment over 25, 900 men. The
Baltimore and Ohio has also
thrown out of employment thous-

ands of men, so has the Hudson
River and other railroads. Why?
Because, the tendency of poll
ticians at this time is to play the
railroads for political effect, but
they have carried it too far.
When men of families go home
with empty dinner pals because
they have not been able to Sc
cure the employment to fill
those pals, they cannot look to
the political agitator for relief,
nor can they feel kindly towards
those who bring on the condi-
tion which caused suffering and
want in their homes.
When the two cent rate was
pending before our legislature
this same Mr.. Richards was an
interested spectator throughout
the discussion, we thought then:
and we think now, he would
have been greatly disappointed
had he, the governor, and his
other co-agitators succeeded in
getting the bill adopted-it would
have robbed them of one of their
planks to discuss before the
masses, but they may as we'll let
this subject alone, because, the
people are not urging a two cent
rate on the railroads, but they
are urging and pleading with
their representatives to cut down
taxation.
Then our good friend Hon.
Richard I. Manning, of Sumter
has sounded an idea which will
make some sit up and take no.
tice. He proposes to exempt
the poor property holder, both
town, and country, from taxa
ton, A fine idea sure. We
would not object if Mr.. Manning
could abolish taxation altogeth.
er, because, if there is any. one
thing we do mortally hate to pay,
it is taxes, and the man who can
abolish the pernicious thing, we
feel like asking for his photo
graph. Since Mr.. Manning's
Sumter speech We have made it
our business to listen to com
ments, and in nearly every in
stance those who commented,
expressed surprise at such a
proposition coming from a man
of Mr.. Mann,ng's good business
sense, and political experience.
Senator John l.. McLaurin,
the man We expect to support
for governor has also given out
a statement, some of which we
JOIN him IN, and some of which
we do not. We do not join him
in the Fortner Bill, but then he
favors the Fortner Bill with the
amendment of Senator Clifton,
with that amendment it is harm
less, but in our opinion unneces-
sary, however, we cannot expect
these distinguished gentlemen
to make all their views that
we can accept as we must

KILLED IN
BATTLE DUE To
ASSASSINATION
Special by United Press Wire.

oPeofI oy United Press Wire.
Budapest, June 30:-More than
zoo persons were killed and wound
ed in Marcar Herzegovina, today, in
desperate battle between Servs
and Mohammedan Croaks as the re-
suit of the assassination of Duke
Ferdinand and wife, according to
specials received here. The Croakes
attempted to burn the Serv quarter
of the city. Bearing banners read
ing Death to Murderous Servs,"
they entered the city. The mobs were
met by Servs and fighting began.
Croakes rushed to the aid of the at
tacker and for hours the fighting was
bloody. In the midst of the battle
fire was set to the Servian houses.
Dispatches from a dozen other towns
and villages today told of outbreaks
between the Moslems, who favor
Austrian domination, and Servians,
who detested and who regard the
killing of the duke an act of patriot
ism. 1t is believed that hundreds
will have perished before the conflict
is ended.
