taught school. He strongly advocat-
ed the improvement of rural schools
and the enlightenment of children.
Too much was being done for higher
education to the neglect of element
ary schools. He realizes that the Of
fee of Superintendent of Education
is a mans size job, but means to fill
it,if elected, in a competent manner.
He believes in only competent teach
ers and intends to give rural schools
most of his attention, while the whole
Of his services shall be devoted to
the office, which he regards as the
most important in the gift of the
people. Mr. McElveen received ap-
plause.
Mr. j G Mccullough, offering for
reelection to the office of Superin-
tendent of Education. following Mr.
McElveen, said it was delightful to
come with beautiful words, but the
man of works has done more. He
gave an outline of the work accom-
plished during his tenure of office.
He had attended many schools and
traI eled over 1000 miles attending
educational meetings. Last year
there were in the county sixteen
schools that ran less than six months,
but there would not be more than
five this year, Mr. Mccullough said,
and that he always kept an eye open
for the small schools and improved
them whenever circumstances would
permit. He takes his hat off to no
man when it comes to better qualifi-
cations for school supervi sion work.
FOR TREASURER.
Candidates for the office of Coun-
ty Treasurer spoke next, Mr. W Dodd
Daniel being the first speaker. He
pointed out that he was not politi-
clan, but a farmer; was competent to
fill the office, and if elected, would
give the people of Williamsburg the
best service of which he was capa-
bic. 1t was a pleasure to be with
the people of Trio and he would ap-
preciate their support at the pri-
mary.
MIR w E Snowden was the next
speaker in the race for Treasurer.
He regretted that limit of time pre-
vented him from making live. in
teresting literary address. and would
eonfine himself to a business talk.
On account of the great calamity
wrought by the storm. people wer"
going to have a hard time paying
their taxes and would want to know
to whom they were paying their
money. He assured them that he
was capable and we'll qualified to fill
this responsible office, and if elected,
the people could feel assured that
their business was in the hands of
one who knows how to take care of
it, and he thought it would be sad
thing if Williamsburg couldn't elect
a man to fiji the office as acceptably
Is the present incumbent"
Mr. RIB Smith said that he was no
stranger, had been before them two
wears ago. He thought it was evil
dent that there is a desire for a
change in this important office. as
evidenced by the number Of candi-
dates in the race from various parts
of the county. He thanked the au-

Mr. j w Cook, offering Tor re-elec-
ton, said he was back on the job
again. He thanked the voters for
what they did for him IA years ago,
had been doing for him since and
for what they were going to do for
him two weeks hence. He thought
every we'll established no lsehold re-
quired daddy" and cook; they
had these at the court house-"Dad-
dy" Montg gomery and J Wesley Cook.
He had made good cook. had never
burned anyoues bread and didn't
intend even to scorch it. Referring
to tax executions. he said it was a
matter over which he had absolute
ly no control, that frequently execu-
tions were issued on account of er-
rors made by people in making tax
returns. He was applauded.
MIR C ] Rollins was the last candi-
date for Treasurer to speak. He said
he was pleased to be with the citi-
zens of Trio, told them he was max
ing the race on his merits and If
elected would endeavor to render
the bes, service of which he was ca
pable.
Judge P NJ Brockinton. offering
for reelection to the Office of Pro-
bate Judge, with no opposition, made
a very pleasing little address, thank
ing the people for their support and
expressing his deep appreciation of
the confidence they had placed in
him.
Mr. J j B Montgomery was called
and presented the next County Au-
ditor", for he has no opposition. He
said he had been working for the
people of the county for Is years in
various capacities, and may be for rs
more. Said he had never made any
promises but did his duty as he saw
it. He was the youngest old man in
the county and challenged anyone
that didn't believe it. He referred
to the system of making tax returns
as being the cause of so many exc
cutions being issued. and said that it
was not the fault of the Treasurer.
He closed by thanking the people for
what they did for him IA years ago
and for what they are going to do
right on.
Mr. ] N Hammet, offering for Su-
pervisor, was not present.
FOR CLERK OF COURT.
Mr. H O Britton, for reelection to
the office of Clerk of Court, told the
audience he was again seeking the

and would not attempt to make
speech. 1t was his sixty-eighth birth.
day.
Mr. j O Carroway was glad to have
as running mate one of Williams
burg's honored sons and had not a
word of criticism to offer against
him; he had been your efficient Clerk
of Court for ten years. Mr. Cara.
way said he was seeking the office
on his own platform of fitness and
ability He had been asked why he
quit preaching. He had not quit, he
said, and would never refuse to tell
the story of Jesus and His love, and
that he bears the endorsement OF
the South Carolina conference. He
had preached for "A years at sa)a-
ry at no time amounting to over
$500; he had stood behind the plow
and been his own plowman for two
years in order to earn bread with

would appreciate their support, he
told the audience.

the taxpayers of their money with

IS them; believes in biennial sessions
Of the Legislature and is unalterably
opposed to woman suffrage.
Mr. J w Kennedy was the next
speaker and told the audience that
it was the thesis" of his ambition
10 60 to the State Legislature; to be
/ the mouthpiece of the people of Will
liamsburg county, and that he had
worked as hard as any man for white
supremacy. He had no new bills to
propose as their representative, and
declared that he had meyer failed to
concentrate an influence in Legisla-
tive halls. Thinks the man who owns
only one hen and a brood of chicks
deserves the best protection the law
can give him. He promised if elect
ed to post himself upon the finances
of the county so as to en!ighten an
enquirer in an instant. He eXpa-
tiated on the bonded Indebtedness
of the county and exclaimed with
emphasis that relief must come

Mr. A gets zoe pound for his grade

Mr. D E McCutchen was the last
legislative candidates called. He was
sorry he had not met more of the
Trio people, but told his hearers
that since the storm he had not been
able to get into their community.
Had been very busy as one of their
county commissioners, especially
since the relief work had been taken
up in the county by the federal
government. MIR McCutchen said he
was no politician, was only plain
farmer citizen of the county and if
elected would give people the best
services in him. He received ap-
plause.
CANDIDATES FOR SHERIFF.
There are eight candidates for this
office and they were all on hand
Tuesday cooked and primed. They
are bunch of good fellows and
there seems to exist not the least
tinge of bitterness between them
because of any real or presumable
advantage one may have over the
other.
MIR w E Allen was the first of the
big eight to be called by the chair
man. He simply announced his
candidacy; said it was impossible to
make speech, but he would make
a good Sheriff.
| Mr. H U Kinder said he was no
orator; that when he should have
been learning to make speeches he
was between the plow handles on
his fathers farm. He regards the
Office of Sheriff as one of much i'm
portance and promised that if elect
ed he would do everything in his
power to fill it creditably, and pro-
posed to maintain at his own ex-
pense pack of we'll trained blood
hounds for the free use of the peo.
pie of the county whenever their SER
vices might be needed. He said the
present Sheriff was a splendid gen.
tleman. but he is your old Sheriff
and l am going to be your young
Sheriff.; that he started running for
the office three years ago and was
going to be in the second primary.
He thanked the people for the sup
port given him four years ago. and
concluded by telling the preacher
bear story and asked that if they
couldn't help Kinder not to help the
bear, as he had worked hard for the
office and wanted to be Sheriff be-

Caring for the Soldiers

The United States government long ago dis
carded the idea that the army was reformatory
for wayward boys and men who were good-for-
nothings. Recruiting sergeants are forced to
see that the applicant for the service has testi-
monial showing his good character. Along with
these reforms came an effort to train the men
who were soldering for some vocation so that
when they were honorably discharged they would
be able to re-enter civilian life without great
handicap. Recruiting sergeants now are charged
not only with enlisting men for the service, but
also with obtaining positions for them after they
have been discharged.
The United States army may not be model
in point of military efficiency, but these facts
stand out prominently-the men are the best
paid and best treated collection Of men doing mill
tary work in the world.

Your Brain Box

It was Solomon who said, ''For as he thinketh
within himself, so is he" The wise king of the
Jews meant to say that mans whole life is
shaped by his thinking capacity and his thinking
direction. If a man habitually thinks evil, his
life ultimately will reflect evil. If a man has the
power Of analysis and synthesis and applies it,
his thinking ability will be shown in his business
enterprise and success.
The world is made up largely of men who do
not think. Few persons will give deep thought
to problem or to their lives. They do not know
how to think. Some are driven to think by sheer
necessity. Others are made to think by some
misfortune. But as general rule, few persons
think.
If every one thought deeply and correctly,
thousands of problems that today are unsolved
would be cleared up. Many an endeavor would
be realized if the men back of it had given con-
sistent thought to the enterprise. Many mu-
nicipal problem would have been solved easily if
the men in authority had worked their brain box.
The world is moved by thought and not by
buster and noise.

Doctor. hoarsely
That's Mac Alarney." Blaine press
ed the electric bell again, and their
own car lunged forward In spurt of

Suspected? Lord bless wou, man.

we blow out tire. and if we do We'll
all go back in the ambulance together,

swift change in the even drone Of
