Marlboro Cotton and Politics.
Hon, John L. McLaurin of Bennetts-
vile, was in YOrkville last Monday on
n social visit. He had business in Char

his car, and ran over this way mainly
because he had the time and found it
convenient.

interest in politics." he said, except of
elected state superintendent of educa-
ton. She is a Bennettsville lady and
everybody over our way thinks lot OF
her. We all know she is thoroughly
competent and that if elected she viii

cause she is from Marlboro; but be-
cause Of the estimate in which she is
held by all of our people.
II cannot say that there is any poll

section-hardly any more than there is
here; but of course we are going to
vote for Jennings Owens.
In connection with the cotton situ-

(By a Staff Correspondent.l
Bethany, Aug. 22.-About 500 people
Of whom approximately 100 were
voters, attended the picnic here today
in connection with the meeting OF
candidates for public offices. The can
didates spoke from the large stage in
the rear of Bethany school house,
which stage is used during the school
year and out for various plays and
other entertainments and which is one
of the largest and best Of it's kind at

ty. The audience occupied seats out
in the open, large rows of planks hav-
in the open long rows of planks haV-
The arrangement was an ideal one.
There were plenty of seats-in fact far
more than enough to accommodate
those of the crowd who cared to listen
to the various speakers. Then too, be-
cause of the seating arrangement one
could get off and walk away to the
refreshment stand or talk TO a friend
without disturbing the meeting when
one got tired of political palaver and
it was more or less of shifting audi
ence throughout the day.

Some how or other the report had
become current that former Governor

of the day and a number Of people in
Guiding several from Cleveland county,
n. c., came to Betl.ary in the belief
that they were going to hear the for
mer governor who was speaking today
at the regular meeting of the state
campaign party at Pickens.
There was perhaps more political
'log rolling" on the part of the folks
at Bethany today than there has been
at any county meeting so far. Several
of the candidates, wise in political ex-
perience privately commented on the
fact and it was the observation of the
correspondent that such was the case.
Throughout the day there were many
groups Of three or four. or more
gathered together" talking things
over and discussing the merits and
demcrts of this candidate and that.
More than one voter went home with
knowledge of things political that he
did not have when he came, and num-
bers of people were heard to remark
that there was right smart politics
going on today"

and say to honorable Temperate" that

in truth, that as far as have discov.

in two short years.
Moreover. ! don't think there has
been enough prohibition pushed down
their throats to affect their stomachs
very much or there wouldn't be SO much
vacancy for that temperate religious
glass. I can't say anything in regard
to the "full cellars" for the rumsellers
gobbled all the cellar ever had and
everything else with it. A sad affair
that the people had to be forced into a
dry law when they might better have
volunteered.
