Campaign Day at Ropers.

All of the candidates for county
offices and all of the people of the
Roper's community, together with
some from adjoining communities,
gathered at Roper's Saturday for
the county campaign meeting. Ear
ly in the forenoon the people as
sembled about the base ball dia'
mond to witness a game between
Trenton and Golfers. While the
Golfers boys played we'll, they
we're, at least for ibis game, out
classed by the Trenton boys. Both
teams are composed of splendid
young fellows and all of them play.
ed good ball. The game was i'm.
partially umpired by Mr.. Floyd
Rainsford. Nine innings were not
played on account of the arrival of
the hour for the speaking to begin.
Rev. P. B. Lanham acted as
chairman, performing the duties in
a most acceptable manner. Both
of the candidates for the senate,
Mr.. Nicholson and Mr.. Wells,
spoke, covering about the same
ground that had been covered III
former speeches. These were fol-
lowed by Mr.. Williams and Mr..
Walker for the house of represen-
tatives. Mr.. Evans was absent, be-.
ing with his mother who is quite i'll
at Chick Springs. The speeches of
Mr.. Williams and Mr.. Walker were
brief, no new matter being intro
duced.
The lawmakers were followed by
all of the seven fnanciers and ex-
pert road builders. Yes, all of the
seven-Bell, Broadwater, Edmunds,
Hudson, Moultre, Scott and Wells
are good men and would make the
county a good officer. Well, all of
them presented their claims at Ro-
pers, some with brevity and other at
considerable length, each oneshavlng
friends among the voters present.
At the conclusion of the last speech
all were invited to gather around
the table upder the pines, after first
purchasing a little red badge which
entitled it's possessor to all of the
privileges of the table. The peo-
pie of the community provided a
splendid feast, including both bar
becued hash and picnic dinner. The
money realized from the sale of din
ner will be used to improve the
school at Ropers.
The writer had to return to Edge
field early after dinner and did not
witness the game of base ball that
was played between the Sweetwater
and Ropers teams. The score stood
ID to 8 in favor of Ropers.

He Deserves Defeat.

There are all sorts of office seekers,
some are narrow and short sighted
while others are broad and far seeing.
But of all the different sorts, about the
narrowest and most short-sighted candi-
date that we know anything about IS one
offering in another county for leglsla-
tive honors who himself as
1.-The Mill Candidate"
Now, we have no quarrel with TINS
fellow for being a.ifriend of the mill
people, whether it be the operatives or
the mill OWNERSHIP fails to state
which he would befriend-but We are
convinced that a man of this type is
unworthy of a seat in. the legislative
halls. A member of the general as
sembly of South Carolina not only rep
resents his immediate constituency but
has a part in the making of laws for
all of the people of every section, and
the mar who sets himself up as the
candidate of any particular class is un-
worthy even of their confidence and
incapable of rendering broad, patriotic,
unselfsh service to his State. A law
maker should not enter upon his duties
pledged to any particular class or as
the special friend of any particular
profession, business or industry. On
the contrary, he should represent every
class and every business with the ut
most impartiatty.

Report of Sunbeam Rally.
Written for last week..

On Saturday, August 5, a Sun,
beam rally took place in the audlto'
rum of the school. Children and
leaders were expected from the va
rious bands over the county but the
bad roads prevented many from
coming. However a few were pres
ent and we were glad Of their pres
ence. Mrs. Tillman conducted the
meeting, Frances Jones leading the
devotional service. Several hymns
were sung. Mrs. J. L. Minis ex.
planned the standard of excellence
to the audience. Miss Eleanor
Minis delivered the address of well
come.
Maj. Lyon and DR.. Jones were
present, and asked to speak a few
words of welcome to those from
town and all who had come. A med
al contest had been planned, though
only two little boys were present
who we're ready to take part. Jack
Feltham recited his anyway and so
did little Fred Salter of Trenton,
both doing credit to the bands they
represented. Then DR.. Jones again
spoke, since if the contest had TAX
en- place he would have delivered
the medals. AS there were not a
sufficient number present to hold the
contest on this occasion as orlgi-
nally planned, the contest will be
held at the annual meeting of the
w. M. u. at Gilgal August 90 and
80.
Mrs. Feltham told a beautiful
story of a giant in a charming way.
This proved both helpful and inter-
esting. Lite Margaret Lyon sang a
sweet little song.
These delightful parts of the
program were interspersed with ia
vorable and encouraging reports
from some of the Sunbeam bands.
Mr.. j. L. Minis made a talk, es-
pecially addressed to the boys on
the evils of the cigarette, this being
the subject of the intended contest.
The last talk consisted in a
trip around the world told so vivid
ly that the audience almost felt
themselves surveying the wonderful
sights of the Orient. This was told
by Mrs. Tillman. AS we passed each
country a person appeared dressed
in costume. Thew were from Japan,
China, Ceylon, Egypt, Dixie,
America, Burma, Spain and one
representing the religion of Mo-
banned.
After the interesting and instruct
i've program had been concluded a
dinner was served on the grounds.
The dinner consisted of everything
that would tempt. The children had
been given the key, so to speak, of
the grounds, and they enjoyed
themselves swinging and sliding,
The day was a great success and
benefit to all present.
