dorse the candidacy of our fellow cit
izen, William Coleman, for the gov
ernorship of this state;
Second, That we commend him to

one we'll worthy of their confidence

Coleman and invite him to address

which now confront the people of our
state"
Committee appointed by chairman
TO wait upon Mr.. Coleman as follows
L. j. Browning, j. w. Scott and Hay
Wilburn. Mr.. Coleman was brought
forward and introduced by the chair
r.an, Mr.. Sawyer. Mr.. Coleman says
il takes water to run his mill and
he was at once supplied. Thanks the
audience for it's invitation and pro-
poses that he make his maiden speech
before people of his own county. Moth
er was from Buncombe county and
father was from Union county double
blessed by this ancestry. Buncombe
blows it's horn and Union is not
much to brag, but great for
work, but he was going to brag
little and gave very eulogistic
words regarding Ed McKissick
and the Sarrats for the records they
had made abroad. Told Of his great
love for our gloious Southland. Told
of the trial and tribulations through
which the South had passed after the
civil war. The statement that war is
hell was one true statement. Wants
good roads, good schools, tax which
will be equal and just to all. AS to the
women voting he did not know If il
was good thing or not but one thing
sure is that if it does not prove bene-
fetal in South Carolina then it had
better be wiped out in the whole Unit
ed States. He eulogized the noble
work of the good women of South
Carolina in time of the war of the
states. He does not make the law
but proposed to enforce it if elected
governor, and will keep the rudder Of
the old ship OF state true as long as
he holds the rudder. (Applause).
Nomination for delegates to state
conventions: Col. T. C. Duncan, Un-
ion; C. T. Clary, Lockhart; w. S. Nc
