The income tax bill was also passed
which will make tie rich man cough
Up" MS just part Of the burden OF tax
alton. A few months ago the corpor-
atoms had tried to produce\a panic
but MI NcAdoo said there was lit
tie surplus OF some S3O,O00,000 in the
treasury and it failed And money
had been placed in the South to as
sist in moving the cotton crop. He
had voted for a 2 cent passenger rate
on all railroads in the country.
Last year a commission was sent to
Europe to study credit conditions in
that country and he had introduced a
bill to carry the idea out in this coun-
try. The money to come from bonds
thorugh the national banks.
In concluding Mr.. Aiken said ne had
tried to do everything for the people
OF the district that he could. If you
send some one else there, he said, he
would still stand shoulder to shoulder
with the Democrats of the district.
Fred. II. Dominick.
TIE next speaker introduced was
the Hon. Fred. H. Dominick, Of New
berry. He was a little 'hoarse and said
he hoped the people would bear with
him as lie had had very strenuous
time last week in ar other part Ct the
district. He said he proposed to talk
straight to the people and would not
ask them to vote for him simply be-
cause he was a citizen O., Newberry.
He lad been a citizen of New'berry for
10 years and mis- foreparents had ll7-
ed here for generations and his peo-
pie still lived in the county, but he
did not ask ior votes on that account
but he wanted the people to vote for
the man they thought best able to rep
resent them in congress.
Mr.. Dominick said that the Third
district is one Of the largest in tae
State not only in the matter Of popu-
ration but also as manufacture
ing district and as an agricultural
district and is entitled to the very
best and ablest representation in
congress. 1t contains one-taird Of the
cotton mills in the State and as ali
agricultural dlstrict has no superior.
He said he had been elected to the
legislature in Newberry and had been
DEBATED. That II years ago he was
elected to the legislature and when he
stood for reelection he was defeated.
He said he had been clerk and attorney
Tor tie county commissioners and dur
ing that time he mad been instrument
tai in refunding and adjusting some
railroad Indebtedness of several Of the
townships Of the county and by this
act had materially reduced the tax in
these townships. The debt had been
reduced from $4,000 to some $4,000
and that he had saved the townships
about $4,000 to $4,000.
He said that he was a friend of all
the candidates in the race. That he
was not running against Mr.. Aiken
but he was candidate for congress.
He said he was going to discuss Mr..
Aiken's record. Mr.. Aiken according
to mis- biography in the congressional
record had been holding Office for 81
years-19 as court stenographer and
u years as congressman-from the
time he was 20 years old And yet in
this biography his occupation is put
down as a farmer-a great farmer
that. AS congressman he has drawn
from the public treasury some $751;
coo and as court stenographer about
$4,000, making a tctal Of over $780,
GOO from the State and Federal gov
ernments in the 81 years and yet he
is farmer. AS he put it, II have been
farmer all my life Has he rem
Gered value received
Mr.. Aiken has introduced 313 bills
since he has been in congress and 64
have become law. Thirteen of them
are OF general interest. He has not
been the author OF a single bill Of
general interest. A friend of mine
has sent me one Of these bills, said
DIR. Dominick | wish you Would

credits bill If you want 70 borrow
money and you put up certain prop
