| To the Democratic Voters of LexinS-
ton County:
The Editor OF The Dispatch-NeWs
| has kindly offered to ali candidates
for the House a reasonable space in
which to set forth their platform upon
which they are seeking nomination. In
Pappreciation Of this kindness, 1 shall
use as little space as can.
At the outset, wish to state most
! emphatically that my purpose in Of
fering for the Legislature is to be of
ficers and clerks here and there in
the county and state who are drawing
from the public treasury more money
each year than the average taxpayer
earns in five years! And many of
them are absolutely unnecessary. They
tell us that this is in the interest Of
efficiency in the administration and
enforcement of the laws. Efficiency
is alls right, but what we need nleTe
|-a fanaa anything u s1ss is ago5d ssi:
mess hard work On the part of those
holding the main office! They seem
to think that all that is expected Of
them is to sit, or ride, around, smoke
fine cigars; and wear out office fur
niture and burn gasoline at the eH-
pense of the public! If am elected, I
shall work for the highest efficiency
at the least possible expense
Another question has been brought
to the front in the present campaign.
and that is, your Rural Police system.
Up until a few days ago, I had been
content to let those responsible for
the system answer to the people for
it; but the question has been put up
to every candidate for the Legislature,
and do not hesitate to answer. l say
frankly, and without any personal
feeling in the mater, that 1 am op-
pooco ~ lliC piSocllI SSStCHl VI Ql al
police. If it was needed two years
ago when it was first inaugurated in
this county, I do not think it is need
ed now. Conditions have changed,
and think our sheriff, together with
his deputies and magistrates con-
stables, is amply able to handle the
'violators of the law, and to protect
the peace Of the county. Moreover
the rural police system was founded
on the wrong principle. l was told
two years ago, by those who made
the system, that if these officers did
not earn their salaries of $1,500.00
year, they would be cut off. Figures
tending to show, on the one hand that
these three officers have earned their
salaries in the way Of fines imposed on
'violators of the law, and on the other
hand that they have not turned irto
lliS II IlluCI DIS they drew
out. have not checked the records,
but whether they have earned their
salaries or not, 1 am opposed to the
system on principle. 1 think it is
dangerous thing to give authority and
a gun to man and tell him to go
out into the highways and by-ways
and bring in $1,500.00 a year-or lose
his job! If we really need rural
police, we will have them regardless
Of the cost, but l do not believe in
this drag-in or lose-out system,
Neither do 1 believe that the viola
ton Of the law in Lexington county is
so flagrant that we need an officer at
every road crossing. If there is any
section of the county that needs
special protection on account of its
location and peculiar surroundings,

4 70 the Voters OF Lexington County:
sr xose which elected me your
s. 81 sas fa fhe
1fst primaryswas greatly appreciated
BY me and now take this oppor-
:stunity' Of thanking you therefor. Now
SsT am asking for reelection to the
House Of Representatives on my rec
Z ord during the past eighteen months
Z that I have been your representative
5 and on my merit for the office / am
= seeking.
I have tried as fully as possible to
bring about relief to the taxpayers of
Lexington county. I have tried as
= near as possible to enact legislation
that deemed at the time needful
and demanded by the people Of my
s county and State. / stood for and
I still stand for tax reform whereby the
{ burden Of taxation may be as much
as possible removed from the should
ers Of our farm lands and visible
! property. / worked for and voted
for every tax reform measure which
{ came before the General Assembly
E last year. AS result Of some of
e these efforts in association with
similar efforts on the part of other
members Of the General Assembly, we
were enabled to reduce your tax levy
for State purposes in South Caro-
lima, from twelve mills in 1921 to
seven and ,one-half mills in 1922.
Had the luxury tax bill and the Hy-
f3ro-Electric tax bill become laws,
your tax levy instead Of being seven
and one-half mills for State purposes
would have been about four mills. I
stand for a fight to the finish, if re-
elected, that the above tax reform
bills along with others will yet be-
come laws, making it unnecessary to
cab on the general property Of our
County and State to pay single mill
of taxes toward the support of our
State Government.
Our county two years ago owed
around SIS, 100000 in back debts that
lawfully shouldS never have been
made. But, nevertheless they were
made and had to be paid or else in
yolve our county in numerous law
suits. To provide the money to pay
this back Indebtedness we put four
mills on you in 1921 and four mills in
1922. For the running Of our county
government we put on seven and one
half mills in 1921 and six and one
half in 1922. Before I took office
your county levy was fourteen and
one-half mills for all purposes. in

Wholesale Trade Gains.

Purchasing by jobbers and retailers
throughout the country last week in
creased per cent. over the preceding
week. while there was a gain in pay
1nents Of IA per cent. according to the
Credit Clearing House. The Mountain
section, with gain of per cent over
the previous week. leads the country in
purchasing activity, which is now greater
than 1t has been In several months. The
South agricultural section Is buying
actively and has considerably reduced
its Indebtedness. The Pacific coast sec
ton continues to show the favorable
effect Of the excellent fruit crop and the
large demand for lumber. The Eastern
section still shows the effects of strikes
In somewhat restricted purchasing, but
Indebtedness Is much lower.

Raw SILK Prices Maintained.

Trading continued small yesterday In
markets for raw silk, but prices held
fairly firm. while the big purchases of
last month have undoubtedly taken care
of a considerable part of the immediate
requirements of the larger mills" II. l..
Cavalier & Co. say, "a steady demand
continues from other quarters. making
mp fair aggregate of daily transactions
in which all sorts participate and which
Is sufficient TO maintain prices on firm
level Stocks on hand at Yokohama on

white silk and 1900 bales of yellow silk.

Year ago, plus AZ, 1000 bales held by the
syndicate. The position Of Japanese
ieelers is undoubtedly one of extraordi-
nary strength. which Is apt 70 find it's
expression in still higher values before
tho season Is over"

Poiret TwiIIs Popular.

Demand for wooden and worsted
dress goods for next spring is chang
ing from novelties to staples. Business
has improved considerably in the last
several weeks and the turn in buying
TO the staple lines has greatly en-
oouraged manufacturers. Recent ad-
vances in prices and the likelihood of
further advances as result Of the con-
tinued strengthening OF raw wool values
have stimulated buying for the future.
Poiret twills continue to enjoy undimin-
ished popularity. while the demand for
all wool crepes is growing stronger.
Mills are unable to fill any more spot
orders for poiret twills because OF a
limited supply.

BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Prices Hinder Cotton Goods
Trading-Quotations Con-
tinue Firm.

There was only q moderate amount Of
trading In yesterdays cotton cloth mar
kets at firm prices. Most mills have
withdrawn their lines pending more
settled condition in the raw cotton mar
ket. Selling agents have been instructed
not to accept orders without first notify
ing their mills. On the other hand,
buyers are not so anxious to place orders
at the new high price levels. They fear
that their customers will not readily
absorb the advances which must be
passed TO them if purchases are made at
the higher levels. Higher prices for
finished cotton goods now are almost
inevitable. If manufacturers are to sell
without a loss they must revise their
figures upward, according to prominent
factor.
