I'LL CLEAN EN- Up
FOR STATE SENATE"
SAYS UNCLE JOSH
Veteran Anderson Representa-.
tive Listens to Friends and
Enters the Race.

"Uncle Josh" Ashley, of Anderson coun-
ty, who has been a member Of the lower
house Of the general assembly of South
Carolina for 20 years, and is probably one
of the best beloved legislators who ever
attended the sessions in Columbia, has
caught the state senate fever.
Having had his " ear to the ground" the
aged lawmaker has derived that there Is
strong demand for him as senate candi-
date, so he has determined to his oppon-
ents for senatorial honors hard race and
declares he will win in q canter.
Speaking Of his candidacy. the Ander-
son Intelligencer has the following tele-
phone interview with the aged states
man:
"Helo, my boy. Yes, this is your Uncle
Josh. But lell the folks that read ycrr
paper that I am in the favor Of this bill to
keep white ladies from teaching colored
children. It's shame, and men what is
in favor Of that kind Of teaching are not
much better than the negro himself"
That is the phone message received
from Citizen Joshua W. Ashley Monday
morning. Eyes he concluded the people
have been after me 80 that have decid-
ed to run for the state senate. And you
can just tell them my good brother, that
your Uncle Josh will clean 'em up in the
race"
Continuing the Intelligencer says:
"This announcement from Citizen Ash
ley will no doubt be a surprise, for it had
been thought that on account Of his health
he would not be able to make the race.
The candidates announced so far Oscar d.
Gray and J. A. Hill members of the house
Of representatives, and the homes, Of DR..
w. A. Trip, of Bushy Creek and Of Capt.
WA. Hudgens and Sam W. Wolfe have
been heard mentioned in the same connec-
ton.
Anderson county had senator who
has been admired and respected by the
people Of the whole state for his high-ton-
: ed, manly stand on every question, but
eight years in the senate has taken so
much of his time that Senator George W.
Sullivan feels that he must take rest and
devote some to his personal afflrs," 49,.

Abbeville and That Interurban.

/ The Daily Journal is delighted to see
that good people Of Abbeville have not
given up the fight for an interurban. We
do most sincerely hope that their efforts
will be crowned with speedy success.
Abbeville ought to have the connection
that a road of this kind would give them.
1t would not only help the business inter
ests of Abbeville, but of the other places
with which the line would connect. We
should be glad to see a line direct from
Due West to Abbeville and on from Able
vile to Greenwood. We believe that Green
wood people generally will take this view
of it, and that they would gladly do what
they could to further the enterprise

platform upon which he promises to

A Lower rate of taxation by first
fixing the value of any property ac-
cording to it's power of production
or it's earning capacity after all ex-
penses for such production have
properly been deducted. No valua-
ton should be made on the strength
of some chance sale or by what some
neighbor may hold or ask for his
land in view Of some prospective
sale, or by blanket assessment.
Each property shall be assessed on
its own merits. All personal pro-
perty such as stock shall be given
the benefit of all fluctuations as to
its market value and l do not stand
for penalizing Industrious habits
shown by the proper amount of good
improvements on any property.
Alfalfa lands in Nez Perez County
that produce but one crop per year
should not be valued the same as
alfalfa lands in other counties which
produce three crops annually, there
by compelling our taxpayers to con-
tribute the same amount of state
taxes with only one-third of the pro-
ductive power. | stand for more
efficient service for the money in all
public services all along the line and
especially interested in better schools
for the country districts by more
efficient teachers who are capable of
giving greater and better results.
| stand for better highways and bet
ter methods of handling this prob
lem. l have been on the fighting
line for better results long time in
Nez Perez county and have never
asked any favors for myself and do
not now only in so far as | believe
can benefit you as we'll as myself in
the same way by cooperating to the
same end. If you are tax-dodger
don't vote for me. If you want to
see every tax payer pay their just
dues by the proper kind of valuation
and square deal to all give me
your support. For reference as to
my capacity for doing the right thing
at the right time, will gladly refer
any one to all the farmers and bus
mess men in the Lewiston valley
