State Campaign.

The Biennial canvass for state OFF,
ces, which opened at Columbia on
Tuesday without untoward incident, is
proceeding according To schedule, and
up to the preSsnt has not been marked
by any kind of>a clash, that seems to
have bearing on final results.
The Columbia meeting was ideal in
every particular. Each of the candi-
datds was allowed to say his say in his
or her own way, without interruption
except by way of friendly applause
when a part or all of the audience felt
disposed to indicate its approval.
The Columbia theatre, in which the
meeting was held, was comfortably
full, the crowd being estimated as sew
en- or eight hundred. Men prcdomi-
mated, of course; but there were a
number of women scattered through
the audience.
The candidates for governor were the
first speakers. These were Cole H..
Hlcase, John r. Duncan, George Is.
L.ancy. Thos. G. Mcleod, and Wllllam
Coleman. j. j. Cantey, also a cam
didatc for governor, was not present
at the opening meeting. Governor

COUNTY, POLITICS

! With numerous hats already in the
ring and rumors upon rumors of other
sombreros to come sailing, the York
county political pot has begun to boil
for the good year 1922, although 1t Is
fact beyond dispute that the candi-
dates themselves are doing most OF
the stirring since the voters generally
appear rather Indifferent toward the
pot of political porridge. While the
great majority of the voters are SUI
fciently interested to turn to the no-
litical advertising columns OF the
YorIiyille ENQUIRER in order 10 look
over the new announcements, so far
there is little enthusiasm among them
over any candidate or any set OF can
didates. Most of the candidates TO
whom the reporter has talked admit
il themselves while the women don't
seem to care "a - Bit, as one can
didate rather rcSentfully stated the
other day. The farmers are much
more interested in the cotton market
Just now and in His Frightfulness, Mr..
b. Wcevil than they are in county po-
litics or state politics or any kind or
politics.
More than Il month is yet to elapsc
before the lists close in York county
and it is predicted that there will be
quite Il large number of candidates
for various offices to come yet. For
Instance, the hope is that there will be
at least one more and probably sew
eral more candidates for the house of
representatives. There are four as
pirants in the field now, Messrs. w. X.
Bradford of Fort MILL Erwin Caro-
Tiers of Rock Hill and Emmett w.
Pursley of Santiago who would sue
ceed themselves, and Mr.. w. j. Tai
ley of Rock Hill a man who is not
without political experience but who
is new to the game as 1t is played in
York county contest.
Announcements today Of the candi-
dacies of Ralph II. Cain of Sharon
for probate judge and Hugh q. Brown
to succeed himself as supervisor of
York county brings the number of as
pirants for each of these offices to
three. Probate Judge j. J. Houston
announced some time ago his candi-
dacy for recollection and Mr.. Jeptha
y. Gwin of Sharon has also had his
top piece in the ring for the probate
judgeship for several weeks. There
is talk of other candidates to enter
the ring for this office; but there is
nothing definite as yet. Due to the
fact that so many North Carolina
folks as well as York county folks are
coming to York county for marriage
licenses these days and due to the
further fact that the probate judge
gets fat fee on account of the inher
itancc tax bill passed by the last gem
CTal assembly, the office is said by
people who know To be one Of the best
paying if not the best office in the
county. \ rather merry race is prom
iscd for the nomination.
Supervisor Brown is being opposed
for recollection by Thos. W. Boyd Of
Leslie and John +. Gordon of Tir-
zah. both of whom have held the Of
flee and who have many friends and
over the county. Since
the supervisors office is always the
football in York county politics, near

the swamps Mr.. Devillier attributed
this destruction of the fish to the pois-
oning of the water by the water hya'
cinths, and said there was stretch OF
ten miles OF dead fish that he could
not go through with a power boat (pre

Hence there is not sufficient oxygen to
