temper and Hope knows how to make
him let it fly. For instance at Walter
bOro last Saturday, Mr.. Hope charged
that Mr.. Swcaringcn and the state
board of education had recently adopt
cd duplicate lists of books for use in
the schools of the state which VIII cost
the voters of the state $250,OOO. Hit
ting back at Hope. Superintendent
Swearingon tells the voters that the
people Of South Carolina do not need
a book agent as their superintendent.
Secretary of State.
Major Jim Dozicr Of Rock Hill, who
is running against w. Banks Dove for
secretary of state, is doing his best
to put Mr.. Dove on the defensive.
There are indica ions that he will sue
ceed. He charged last week that on
Saturday prior to the closing of en-
tries in the campaign race on Monday,
certain Columbia politicians had tcle-
phoned him insisting that he switch
over to the race for lieutenant govern
or instead of secretary of state in or
der that Secretary Dove be not oppos-
ed. He intimated that Mr.. Dove was
behind the telephone call. There is
likelihood of other interesting develop
l .ents in the race.
Commissioner of Agriculture
George Wightman, state senator
from Saluda, who has state wide rep
utation of being "agin" almost every
thing, is telling the folks how much
better he would be able to serve them
as commissioner of agriculture than
"Old Man" B. Harris. George said the
other day that some fellow had started
a story that he would fire everybody in
the commissioners office if he were
elected, and he is looking for the man
who started the story in order that he
may tell that man just what kind of a
liar he is. Commissioner Harris is de-
Tending his administration on almost
every stump.
The candidates for lieutenant gov
ernor are jogging along fighting for
votes and not fighting each other. In
fact, so far the race with them is
sort of old ladies' tea party and to
paraphrase an old negro, they are
the "lovinest bunch" in the race-so
far.
Not Much Enthusiasm.
There is no great amount Of enthu-
siasm manifest for any of the .candi-
dates so far. Lane L. Bonner, corrc-
spondent of the Charleston American,
in reporting the meeting at Walterboro
last Saturday, says: Good attention
was given the gubcrnatorial candidates
and when Cole l.. Blease mounted the
improviscd platform in the grove
where the meeting was held, mani
fcstation barking back to the olden
DAYS greeted the speaker" William j.
Cormack, correspondent of the Char
lesion News and Courier, who is re-
porting the meetings. failed to note Il
manifestation" for Blcase and says OF
the Waltcrboro meeting: although
there was perhaps the largest crowd
which has yet heard the candidates for
state Offices here today, there was
little variance in the general speech
cs. Approximately 300 voters and an
admiXturc of children were liberal
with their applause, although the heat
was swCltering."

Corner yesterday, while the meeting
was at Charleston today. After the
meeting at Orangeburg Saturday, the
campaign party will rest until July H.
