CORONER" CARL MORGAN
HOLDS FIRST INQUEST

Whether the experience gained by
attending a politinal meeting and
facing an audience of voters by a
candidate for public office is of great
er advantage than experience gained
in fulfilling the duties of that office,
is the question that is agitating the
mind of Mr.. Carl G. Morgan, candi-
date for the Office of Coroner.
Although Mr.. Morgan failed to
meet the voters at Wexford last Sat-
urday he feels that he has to some ex-
tent prepared himself for the official
duties that will fall upon his should
ers if elected.
While at home last Saturday morn
ing preparing to attend the Wexford
meeting, Mr.. Morgan received an ur-
gent telephone call to the Farmers
Mercantile establishment. SO urgent
was the call and SO insistent the call
er that Mr.. Morgan omitted the last
few details of his toilet and hastened
forth.
Arriving at the store he was met
by Mr.. Lee Melton and a number of
anxious looking citizens who escort
ed him to the rear Of the place in
great solemnity. Mr.. Melton informed
Mr. Morgan that there had been a
sudden and violent death in the COM
munity and that it was desired that
an inquest be held at once. Mr.. Nor
gan informed them that he was not
yet coroner. He was told that it didn't
matter, that someone had to hold an
inquest and in the absence of coro-
ner candidate was the next choice.
"All right" said Carl, "I'll do the
best can. Where's the corpse?"
/ He was led to the lot back of the
store and there gazed upon the last
mortal remains of very large and
very dead dog.
AS the crowd started to laugh, Mr..
Morgan demanded silence and order
in the presence of death. He then
solemnly examined the remains Of
the deceased, took in the condition of
of the ground and found large and
Diooty SluD Ilc SdllCu loI "lluCoScS
but none were present. He then COM
pared the club with the decorations
on the corpse's head and took the
case under advisement
After few moments consideration
ne rendered the following verdict:
'Decided; That tie deceased is
dead; that deceased came to his death
from wounds inflicted by unknown
party or parties; that the suggestion
Of accident is not warranted by the
evidence; that the theory of suicide
is rejected on the grounds that
were "A canine fool enough to at
tempt to end his own cxistance he
would have sense enough to use more
expeditions methods than beating his
own brains out with a club"

Our Country

One Of the South Carolina candi-
dates for the United Stats senate
this year is calling the .ttnltion of
our people to one of the NEST vital
issues that confrontS thc american
people today.
It is the issun Of stac; rights
against centralized fcdcr GOVERN
ncnt.
State sovereignty IS ab"olu ely nee
cssary to protect the rights anG liber-
ties of the people under ouc form Of
government The founders Of this re-
public so recognized it and it is APP
parent now.
No one will deny that oar govern
mcnt is becoming more centralized
in Washington.
The sovereignty Of the states is
gradually being undermined and TAX
en- away.
A continuancc Of this practice will
inevitably and absolutely lead to IN
autocracv in this country.
VIII you sit passivcly by and sur
render what liberties you have left
of those your forefathcrs fought, suf-
fcrcd and died to obtain for you and
turn your children over to an auto
cratic government?
If we surrender these liberties now
our children can only regain them by
revolution.
We say the Capitalization of our
government has gone far enough.
Let US put a stop to it by peace
full use Of our BALLOTS rather than to
have our children stop it by a revo-
lution..-The Easley Progress
George Warren is going to be very
much in the running for United
States senate. His doctrine Of states
rights is proving very popular. 1t is
argued against him that he is in fav-~
or of whiskey, while as a matter of
fact he is the author Of the present
prohibition laws on the statutes Of
the state.--Anderson Daily Mail. ~.
The Wnitcrboro Press and Standard
Showing that he possesses a high
degree Of honor, George Warren will
be called up higher, and that soon."

WHAT OTHERS SAY
ABOUT GEORGE WARREN
The Hampton Guardian Editorially
States

NcoiSt w tIlcH 10 man Ol aD!ll-
ty, courage, comman sense and stcrl-
ing worth. He is deep student of
political economy, yet understands
its practical application. His know
ledge of government affairs acquired
by close study peculiarly fits him for
the Office Of United States Senator.
We fear to express in these columns
the high regard we have for George
Warren as man, as lawyer and as
statesman. However, we can and
do commend him to the people with
the assurance that, in the event of
his election, South Carolina will be
proud of her young Senator.
We are not given the power of
prophecy, but knowing the man and
his ability, his ideas Of government,
his respect for the Constitution, his
beliefs in the doctrines of Calhoun,
we are convinced that George War
rem by the possession of those quail
fications and by the power or his per-
sonality will be elected. Our State
can not afford to refuse the services
Of such a man."
