stration agents. He said that while
the county agents did good they have
served their period of usefulness and
that when it comes to making good
milk and butter there are hundreds of
women who are alert and on the job
without them.
Mr.. Bolin informed his hearers that
there was a feeling of unrest on the
part of labor as against capital. lie
said that the feeling would not die
soon but on the other hand would
continue to grow so long as '"class
legislation" was practiced. He thought
the people should elect legislators who
are consderate of all classes and who
are partial to none.
The speaker launched into an attack
on the financial powers who inhabit
Wall Street in the city of New York.
He said that what was needed was q
Crion Of the different factions of the
commonality to be lead by n Moses
out Of financial bondage and to wage
n fight on the money powers. He did
not propose TO quote any figures, be-
cause friends had told him and he
knew of his own experience, that fig
ures will grow" He did know that
New York could be held in check if
people would only do it and they could
hold the money sharks by proper laws
properly enforced.
He said that the envious ease of the
people Of the upper classes" is made
possible by those who dig, and he gave
the impression that II those who were
digging should force those who were
not to take shovel and hoe, that
conditions might be changed a bit.
The real solution of the problem, how
ever, is to be had in sending men to
the legislature who will lean to no
class.
Columbia Crowd After Him.
w. r. Bradford of Fort Mill, said
that Columbia crowd was putting
out some propaganda in York county

insisted on serving the people of York
county and not those of Columbia. He
said that he had not voted to appro-
pirate funds from the York county
treasury to employ boil weevil' eX-
pert, because he did not believe the
services of such a boil weevil expert
were worth while and because he did
not believe his people wanted to pay
for any such expert. Furthermore
none of the "low state" counties had
thought fit to employ such an expert.
Yet the fight because of failure to en-
ploy such an expert is being centered
on him (Bradford) whereas other
members of the delegation of York re-
fused to agree to it also. why make
the fight on Bradford?" he asked.
Mr.. Bradford discussed the matter
of state printing at length. He said
that the constitution of the state re-
quired that the state printing be let "by
contract" There are only two Colum-
! bia concerns equipped to do the state
printing. They bid together and their
bids were too high. He had refused
to accept their bids as a member of
the printing committee. He introduc-
ed q resolution at the last session call
ing for a constitutional amendment
striking out the words "by contract"
relative to state printing. The voters
would have it before them in Novem-
ber and he asked them to vote for the
amendment whether they voted for
him or not.
Favors Bi-ennial Sessions.
Erwin Carothers of Rock Hill, told
the voters that he favored biennial
sessions of the legislature. He be-
lieved that if the legislature met only
every two years instead Of every year
the people would be saved much mon

term in the legislature and during
that time he had tried to learn all he
could and had tried to work for econ

ships each, while the supervisor should
take three and thus do away with the
! twenty-seven township commissioners.
He said the tax commission had "pick
ed up the people by the heels and are
handling us like property" He did
! not believe that employees of corpora
tions should represent the people of
South Carolina in the general assem-
bly, while taking corporation pay. He
didn't suppose Mr.. Talley was getting
pay from the Southern railroad while
he was on strike and he didn't have
Mr.. Talley in the back side Of his head
when he first mentioned the matter.
