w. C. Mann's Platform

Fellow Citizens of Pickens County:
! ask for your support not on the de-
merits of my opponents, but on the fol-
lowing grounds:
l. The state or county should allow
each thief so much per day until he has
reimbursed the property taken or de-
stroyed by him; then he should serve
county.
2. stand for an increased pension for
old soldiers.
8. Seeing that the present game law
is in reality merely statute, ! stand
for the repeating of said law, or to so
amend it that it will serve its purpose
(My amendment will be explained on
the stump.)
4. stand for the amending of the
Jim Crow law, making it unlawful for
any white person or persons TO teach in
any colored school, as it is today Ah}aw.
full for. any negro to teach in white
school.
5. ! stand for the adoption of the
County system" school law in this
state.
6. stand for better roads on a more
economical maintenance plan; the estab-
llshment Of state highway commits
sioner's office, the duties Of said com
missioner being similar to those of the
state superintendent of education.
There are numerous other needs that
! might mention, but space forbids my
doing so.

A Suggestion

A custom that believe we ought to
change is that of opening the casket at
the church and allowing great throng
OF people, many or them from mere
curiosity or because it is a custom, to
come up and gaze at the features of
our beloved dead. And especially the
custom of holding up little children to
look into the coffin 1t always excites
children and makes them nervous. A
casket should not be opened at the
church unless it be in the case of a near
relative who could not possibly get to
the home before the burial. If anyone
should desire especially to sec the dead
let them go to the home and look be-
fore the funeral procession starts to
the church or the cemetery. would
rather remember my friends as they
look while living. Children become so
excited or stirred by idle curiosity that
frequently have to get them to move
away so can get to the grave to pro-
nounce the benedction.
Let the people think about it and if
the suggestion is worth anything all
right, if not pass it on In this case
am trying to carry out the golden rule.
| am trying to do by you like would
have you do by me. Respectfully,
d. w. EiIOTr
