CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN CLOSED FRIDAY

"a SoIhphIdtlNely laFSc nulnDCr OIL
the voters of Laurens county were
called to order on Friday at 1O:4O A.
NJ In the court house by Mr.. o. G.
Thompson, to hear the congressional
and solicitorial candidates. With very
appropriate words Judge Thompson
appealed to the hearers for fairness
and perfect attention to all the candi-
dates alike. Mr.. Jno. D. Mills, Jr., re-
quested that he be permitted to read
several letters which he had to correct
few mistakes he said were in circu-
lation in regard to Congressman Mich
oils. Mr.. Mills request was over
ruled, but wus told that he could read
the letters at the conclusion of the
last speech, A letter from Mr.. Nichols
was read to explain his absence. Mr..
Nichols wrote that he was detained by
official duties.
Mr.. David TraXler was introduced.
llc said that he had come to bring a
message to the voters of the district
again at the next regular campaign
and give an account of himself In
eloquent speech he said, Omitted
States owes every boy and every girl
college education. If 100000, 900
can be expended for preparedness
land | believe in iU why can't this
nation spend the measley sum Of $780,
100000 for education. Why, the un-
necessary amount expended for bulle-
tins that are never read, would be
sufficient to furnish the boys and girls
OF the nation with free school books"
Mr.. Traxler, in spectacular way,
held up before the crowd some play
ing cards, red light and a whiskey
bottle, saying that those were the
things against which he has battlcd
all Of his life.
Mr. a. II. Miller was introduced
next. He said that he had no criticism
to make Of his opponents-nothng to
say behind their backs. He said that
what had just been said was merely

told Of his success as farmer and
that he was anxious TO see the drift
from the farm to the city cease; that
there ought to he an equality Of Oppor-
tunity whereby the farmer can hold
his own against the commercial world.
one OF his issues is to prepare the
farmer TO furnish the world as we'll
as to prepare 10 fight the world. He
said that we must take the child from
the cotton mill and put him in school
If we would lift South Carolina from
the low tide of illitcracy. Just then
MIR. W. L.. Gray requested the speaker
to express himself on The matter Of
woman suffrage. Mr.. Miller was quick
to answer that he favors woman suff-
rage first last and always Then Mr.
'!raNlcr was called back to express
himself on the matter also. Mr.. Trax-
Ter said that he was with Woodrow
Wilson, like all true democrats should
be; that he believed woman suffrage
was a state issue instead Of a national

Ihcn the candidates for the solici-
torship were introduced and Mr.. II. S.
Blackwell was first called. He said
that in accordance with custom, he
would give his time to his opponents.
that the people of Laurens know him
well enough, quoting the poets words
What you are speaks SO loudly that
cannot hear what you say"
Mr.. Geo. r. Magill was then intro
duced and he assured Mr.. Blackwell
that when he came to Greenwood the
same courtesy would be shown him. He
stated that he had been in the legal
profession for nineteen years and that.
since solicitor hadn't the time of a
defending attorney TO prepare mis-
Spcech, 1t is quite nee ccssary to have an
experienced lawyer for tie position
/ 'c also stated that the solicitor is a
quest judicial officer ans, tha. if elect
cd he would prosecute the guilty tn
the extent of the law and not hesitate
to mol pros any and all unnecessary
cases.
Mr. I. Frank McCord, speaking next,
gave a history of himself saying that
he was proud Of his record and of his
opportunities. He said that the Office
of solicitor required a man OF abiln,
instead of one Of wide experience.
Crime, he said, belongs to ignorance
and that the illiterate one should be
uplfted; education is the cure for
crime.
Mr.. b. V. Chapman was the last
speaker. After praising MIR. Black
well for giving his time to his oppo-
nents, he gave life sketch of himself
He stated that two years ago he ran
, for the Legislature and was elected
that he is retained at Newberry on
one of the most noted murder cases
that his opponents have good records
and that he seeks office not by their
dement's but by his own merits. In
closing, he rcfuted an argument of
one of his opponents, saying that so
licitors always had ten days 10 pre-
pare their cases and that skill and
ability would be more valuable than
sheer experience.
Aftcv the regular campaign meet
ing, Mr.. John ID. Mills. in bchalf Of
Congressman Nichols, read several
letters from Washington officials in

been negligent Of his duties in Wash

j. WADE ANDERSON'S HOME
CONSUMED BY FLAMES
One of the Oldest Dwellings on East
Main Street and All the Furniture
Burned Last Wednesday Night,

Mr.. j. Wade Anderson's home on
East Main street burned last Wednes-
day night, shortly after one o'clock.
1t is thought that the fire was result
Of an exposed electric wire, for the
blaze was first discovered in the cell
ing of the second story.
Being awakened by the room filed
with smoke, Mrs Anderson Immediate
ly had Mr.. Anderson to make an in
vcstigation AS soon as Mr.. Anderson
entered another room, he found the
flames to be blazing over him. 1t be-
ing impossible for them to escape
through the front doors, both Mr.. and
Mrs. Anderson made their way out of
the burning building through the win
dow. All that could be done to sup
press the flames was in vain. After
considerable delay. the alarm reached
the fire department and when the
wagon arrived, nothing worth while
could be done except prevent other
surrounding houses from taking flames
also.
Practically all the furnishing were
consumed, three rocking chairs that
were on the front porch being all that
was saved. The house was built in
1887 and was an eight room building.
The furniture was insured for the
amount of $500 and the house for So
600. SO far, it has not been reported
what Mr.. Anderson's exact loss is

Senate.
The advent OF Geo. A. Browning, Jr.,
OF Goldyille, into the senatorial race
Saturday caused quite a little ripple
In the political circles, so the interest
In the senatorial candidates Monday
was probably more noticeable than in
any other candidates. Mr.. Browning
lead off in this race. He spoke of be-
ing young man aspiring to high hon
ors and said that he saw no reason
why he should not be aqually consid-
cred with men OF more advanced age.
He said he had profitted by his expert
ence In the legislature and thought he
cocld make a valuable representative
OF Laurens ciunty. He said that he
would not criticise either of his op-
poncnts, but that they had been in the
Senate for number of years and he
saw no reason why any set of men
shOulG be allowed to hold office always
Mr.. Browning advocated pensions for
the Confederate soldiers, more attcn-
ton to educational progress, rural
credits, state warehouse. system and
other measures similar to these. lie
criticized the appropriation of $4,000
by the Legislature for law enforce
mcnt, saying that it could be used as
a campaign fund by n designing gov
crnor. He also voiced opposition to
the $4,000 appropriated by the lcgisia-
turc for legal services to be used by
the governor. lie spoke in resent
mcnt of speech by Gov. Manning from
which Mr.. Browning drew the infer
cncc that those who voted AGAINST Gov.
Manning were casscd by him as law
less. Mr.. Browning said that he was
in favor of a new jail for I.aurcns
county. lie said that he did not know
who was responsible for the county
not securing a Jail this time, but he
understood that the bill passed the
whore he thought Senator Goodwin
could have put it through If he had
wanted to do it.
Senator o. p. Goodwin stated that 1t
was an immcmorial custom for a cam
didatc in his home to give way to the
other candidates and that he was de-
lighted to do the same thing and well
come them to Langston. He did say.
however, that he favored pensions for
the old veterans, gave resume Of his
record in the Senate in which he told
Of the bill he introduced relating to
fertilizers which would save the farm
ers great deal Of money. Mr. Good
win said that he was running on his
record and would be ready to defend
himself in the campaign.
John II. Wharton made an eloquent
plea for better educational advantages,
good roads, rural credits, etc. He said
that he was In favor OF the states vot-
ing bonds to the amount of $4,000 for
good roads to get the benefit OF the
federal appropriation for the same
purpose. He advocated new jail for
the county, saying the present jail
was not decent. "No matter how low
man allows himself to sink, he said,
"a decent place should be provided for
Him when he Is imprisoned"

that we will consider ankle length,
rnther than shoetop length. the more
correct way to cut skirt. We may
really come into the long. full, straight
skirt that falls on the floor when we
are dressed for the evening. but the
united hopes OF nation should bar
out the long skirt for the street; the
accepted length Is more graceful and
In far better taste than that which we
have exploited for year.
Long. fun skirts are excessively awl-
ward. ana for that reason II Is be-
licved that the longer skirts get. the
narrower they will grow at the hem.
New Coiors to the Front.
1t Is evidently not to be u season of
black. although 1t remains as color
In first fashion and will be chosen by
those who like II. But the colors of
Lafayette and Robesplerre are coming
to the front.
Our coat suits of soft velour. with
their deep revcrs, are to be of plum
color. of deep Burgundy, of bottle
green and of that brown that is like
snuff with a golden tlnge In 1t.
1t Is not given to every woman to
wear brown. and In choosing II she
must be excessively cnreful. II she has
not artistic perceptions Of her own.
she should call them In from the out
side.
That bright mustard yellow that Is
offered everywhere In smart suits, es-
pecially in the new satin Jersey, IL a
most monstrous color on the wrong
woman. and 1t should be avoided as
the plague unless one is quite sure,
beyond peradventure, Of Its success.
There Is something pleasing In the
thought of plum color and bottle green.
They are rich, warm colors, quite suit
able to our sharp winters. The MILL
ners have Joined with the dressmakers
to create an excellent ensemble by In
Producing the eighteenth-century hat
with Its small sloping brim and Its
high. soft crown.
There Is every reason to believe that
women can be turned out In excellent
manner this winter; there IL nothing
capricious about the styles. and there
Is much that Is emipen,ly artistic.
