(By Staff Correspondent.l
Aragon Mill, Rock Hill, Aug. 11-A
suggestion of the Bolshevistic--a fgur-
ative waving as it were of the red flag
featured the county campaign meet
ing here tonight when the legislative
and other candidates spoke to about
800 voters from a table placed under
an arc light on the street in front OF
the home of A. c. Clark in the Aragon
Mill village. f. b. Cotton, executive
committeeman for Aragon- Blue Buckle
precinct presided over the meeting
here tonight. The meeting was q
quiet and undemonstrative one, the
audience squatting on the ground near
the speakers table and according each
candidate a respectful hearing. Prac-
| tically all of the candidates were
present Those seeking election to
the Legislature. superintendent OF edu-
cation, probate judge, treasurer and
the office of magistrate of Ebenezer
township in which this precinct Is
located made talks. James c. Dozier,
candidate for secretary of state was
also present and after the county
candidates had. concluded, he address,
ed the voters in the interests of his
candidacy. While there was little ap-
plause given any of the candidates w.
j. Talley, union labor candidate got
most of that which was given. Union
ism is right smart strong in this see
tion," one voter told the correspond
ent and it seemed so. A statement OF
Candidate Washington A. Bolin, seek
ing eletcion to the house OF represen-
tatives was the only statement that
appeared to border on the unusual and
sensational. Pointing to the Aragon
mill not far away which loomed large
and brilliantly lighted, he said: II
like to look at fine mills and fine
houses and yet when ! look at them
can not help but feel that the walls
Of fine houses are painted inside and
out with the blood emanating from
the sweat Of the brows or down trod-
den labor of the world. But mary" a
Shrek or shout or hoop-a-la was
echoed by the chilly atmosphere as
the candidate concluded his declara-
ton.
House Candidates First.
The meeting was called to brder by
Chairman Cotton at 7:46. Legislative
candidates spoke first. They were
allowed ten minutes each as were the
candidates for superintendent of edu-
cation while the other candidates had
to be content with five minutes each.
That length of time was much too
long for some of them. Porter B. Ken
nedy of Sharon was first up. Mr..
Kennedy said he had written an ar
ticle for The Yorkville Enquirer sew
eral weeks ago relative to taxation
concerning county and state and the
views he had expressed had met with
the approval Of numerous people who
had insisted that he enter the race for
the house. He had yielded to their
pleas that he throw his hat into the
ring. He said that the people were
suffering now and that ne thought the
government should be operated on less
/ revenue as was the case in old Bible
days when Moses was the leader Of
the children of Israel. H
James e. Beamsuard.
James E. Beamguard Of Glover took
advantage of the opportunity to con-
gratulate the people of Aragon on
! arranging for a special campaign
meeting all their own. He said that
now was the time for strong men to
comprise the crew of the ship of state
and if the voters thought he was a
! strong man he wanted their vote. The
state at the present time he said Is
|. in n condition perhaps without parallel
since the days of 1875. People were
demanding 100 per cent. service for
every dollar taken from the public
treasury and he intimated that they
were not getting this service now. ~;
Mr. Beamguard spoke hls apprecia-
tion of the services of former repre-
! sentative f. Gettys Num- while Mr..
Num- had served in the house when
he was in the senate. If elected to
the house this year ne wanted the
voters to meet with him and the other
members of the delegation prior to the
convention of the legislature to advise
of legislative enactment desired and
promised to put the wishes OF the
voters through or else raise big row
in Columbia.
w. r. Bradford.
w. R. Bradford of Fort Mill spoke
of his eight years service in the
house. He had been in position to
serve the cotton mill people and had
helped to serve them and If re-elect-
ed would continue to serve them. He
! invited the voters to look into his
record relative to cotton mill legis-
lation. If that record was not favor.
abe to them he could not reasonably
expect their support. The matter of
