THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP
William Coleman a Candidate TIVE
Years Hence.

years 1enCe.
William Coleman, candidate for gov
ernor in the recent primary campaign
published the following last Tuesday
as a paid advertisement:
81 hereby announce my candidacy
for governor of South Carolina, sub
ject to the rules of the Democratic
primary which will be held, approx
mately speaking, two years hence.
During the election which has just
passed l received about 1000 votes. l
was by no means surprised at the re-
suit.
"In the first place it was my first
appearance and experience in politics
while Mr.. Laney and Mr.. Mcleod had
each run for office covering a period
of many years and Mr.. Bleasc had
been a candidate since before l quit
wearing knee breeches and going bare
footed.
Furthermore, due to an unfortunate
illness, more than half of the counties
had been eanvassed byTcandidates and
l fully realize that nearly all of the
voters in the state had decided that l
was not in the running-people don't
bet on a horse which they consider out
of the race.
Besides, and waving al of the
above, ] stood primarily for non-fac-
tiona lism, and 1 fully realized that the
two intense factions Lad been mobiliz-
cd: to wit, Bleaseism and anti-Blease-
ism; or oligarcahsm or capitalism or
any other ism you please to call it. In
short, il was Bleaseism against another
ism, and 1 realized that Mr.. Mcleod
was the choice of the other ism.
"If Mr.. Blease is elected he will be
the executive and advocate OF his
friends and the Republican party un-
less he has been converted beyond
that which passeth all understanding.
IF Mr.. Mcleod is elected he will be
the agent of aggregated wealth located
in South Carolina but, controlled by
multi -millionaires in New York and
New England, who do not care a
tinker's damn fonany man, woman or
child in this state. Unless he is such
an agent he will have allowed more
combined capital to have. been fooled
by his acquiescenee than any other
man who has yet appeared in the poll
tical arena of South Carolina.
Between the devil and the deep.
Most of the voters of this state de-
test both factions. They have simply
formed the habit of thinking they have
10 vote for ope OF the other. Two pills
are put before them: a purgativc and
a binder. They seem to think they
must swallow one or the other. Each
Injuries them and while they groan the
other states of the Republic laugh at
them and say:
Poor South Carolina, God only
knows what will become of her.
IN less than two years the great
majority of the voters will be convinced
that Mr.. Blease is devoid of all con-
structive ability and that Mr.. Mcleod
is backed up by the crowd which
would gladly gobble up the state.
"They will then rise up and stand
for some man who is free from al
ractionalism and who stands for the
best interest of South Carolina"

mining engineer has discovered the
remains of mastodons that once roam
ed northern Canada. This valley IS
north and west of the headwaters of

Trial of FAIRIES, the South Carolina
man who killed four people in fit Of
madness, was postponed, for. one thing,
on the plea that public sentiment was
too heated at this time to insure a fair
show. But we should imagine that the
delay thus secured would only serve
to crystalline public sentiment, and
give the gentleman, if he is to be tried
by public sentiment, a lesser chance
than ever to escape the penalty he de-
serves.-Charlotte Observer.

Young Mcleod went home in 1898

when his father died, leaving MIR. Nc
Leod rs the mainstay of his stepmoth-
er and four smaller children. 1t might
be stated here that Mr.. McLeod's
mother died when he was but 10,years
Of age, while his stepmother, who, to
large extent, at least took the place
of his own mother, died in 1901.
Mr.. Mcleod was first elected to pub
lie office in 1901, when he was elected
to the legislature from Sumter county
by one of the largest votes ever given
candidate in that county. OF the
total cast in the county Mr. Mcleod
received oil but 160 votes.
In 1902 Lee county was established
taking in the section of Sumter county
in which Mr.. Mcleod resided. He was
elected state senator from Lee county,
serving for four years. In 1906 Mr..
Mcleod made his first race in state
campaign, being elected lieutenant
governor and was reelected in 1908.
Two years later, in 1910, Mr.. Nc
d
lacked but a small margin Of being in
the second race with Cole L. Blease,
who was elected governor for the first
time that year. c. c. Featherstone
came second to Mr.. Blease and Mr..
Mcleod was third in the first primary.
Mr.. BIease defeated Mr.. Featherstone
L., +ho ya,o,.,J ,,ri,,,ar,y
Since that time Mr.. Mcleod has not
held any public office, devoting his
time to the practice Of law and farm
ing During the World war he was
chairman of the Lee county draft
board. He was elected president pro
tenn of the Democratic state conven-
tion this year. Both after and before
this convention he received many re-
quests that he run for governor, but it
was only after careful consideration
that he launched into,the race, deter
mined to fight to the finish in the eff
fort to win.
Mr.. Mcleod Joined the Methodist
church when he was but 10 years old,
and is now member of the Bethe-
hem Methodist church of Bishopville.
His pastor is the Rev. w. v. Dibble
A brother of Mr.. Mcleod, Rev. d.
Melvin Mcleod, is pastor of a Metho-
dist church at Marion. Mr.. McLeod's
father was a Confederate soldier, be-
ing captain of Company E, Sixth
South Carolina Regiment Of Volun-
teers, and although a warrior, was a
religious, Cod fearing individual. Mr..
Mcleod is a steward of his church and
is also the teacher of the mems Bible
class.
Mr.. Mcleod has always been active
in farmers organizations. He was a
pioneer in the cooperative marketing
movement.
IN 1905 Mr.. Mcleod formed a CO.
partnership with Robert E. Dennis, of
Bishopville, and the two have been
practicing law together since that time.
December 81, 1902, Mr.. Mcleod was
united in marriage with Miss Eliza
beth Afford, of Dillon, who was the
daughter of Capt. w. Med. Afford and
Mrs. Sara f. Mclean Afford. They
have four children: Afford McD who
is blind and has been partially educat-
ed at Cedar Springs, but is now at
home. He is 10 years of age; Thomas

That man Bill FAIRIES who killed four
members of the Taylor family at Clo-

Expecting Good Business.

1--WE are anticipating good business
this fall" said Mr.. j. NJ. Ramsey, man
ager of the Ki-kptrick- k-Belk company
of Yorkville, who stopped to talk over
the business outlook with Views and
Interviews the other morning. Mr..
Ramsey has recently returned from
the Eastern markets where he went to
buy goods for his firm. 81 don't think
there is any question but what the
outlook for a good fall business is
much brighter than it was this tGe
year ago. Sales so far have indicated
that such is the case. While we are
not expecting anything like the busi-
ness of 1919 and 1920 for instance, we
are satisfied that it is going to be fair
ly good and have made our arrange
ments accordingly"

The total value Of the potato crop
in the seven counties comprising the

Agricultural College
Urges Clean Poultry Yards

Lincoln - Sunshine, cleanliness
and disinfection should be carefully
applied to the farm yard poultry
flock if disease in flock is to be
prohibited from spreading, says the
agricultural college. The death of
more than 5000 fowls in one county
was traced to contamination in one
flock, according to the college.
Prevention through sanitation
should be the watchword. Many
cases of disease are traced directly
to the earthen floors in the poultry
houses. If you have earthen floors
in your poultry houses, each spring
you should dig out to a depth OF six
or more inches, cart the earth into
the corn field and haul in clean dirt.
