HOPE FOR SUPERINTENDENT.

The many Lexington friends of
James H. Hope, candidate for state
superintendent of education will be
pleased to note that he received in
the first primary a sufficient number
of votes to put him in the second prl-
mary with the present superintendent.
Swearingen. In the first race, Lex
aneton had candidate in the person
of O. D.. Seay, who was closely re-
lated TO the people of this county,
and the others gave him good vote;
but since he was not able TO get into
the second race, think that our
people, could not do better thing
than to stand solidly behind j. H.
Hope. Mr.. Hope was born ana rear
ed in a section which was formerly
part Of Lexington county: He spent
several years teaching in the schools
of this county. and his interests IN
educational affairs are similar to ours.
He was educated at Clemson college
and has taken extra work in the field
of education. He is eminently quail
lied for the important position OF
state superintendent. He possesses
good Judgment and sound discre-
ton. He is well acquainted WITH the
needs Of our educational system
from the smallest rural school to the
university. He is ripened in ex-
perience and is fair minded. This
state has, for many years, been in
the r,anos of a czar at the head OF
our educational system. This IS a
democratic country, and we Cont
need any bosses in any depai Ement
q. our government. When any man
in public office gets to the place
where his actions indicate that he
thinks he. knows it all. it is about time
TO retire him to the shades Of private
HE. The rights of the people are
far and away above the opinion OF
ANY cne man, and are Of far greater
importance than the political aInbi-
aion of any one man.
I want to urge every voter in Lex
..ington county to go to the polls Sep
tember. IL, and help elect man from
our own ranks. Mr.. Hope is pledged
to guard our interests. and believe
he Will do SO. Let's give him our
solid vote in cthe Second primary!

Last year there were upward Of
