CANDIDATES FOR STATE Of UP IN T The State. Marion, July 25.-Candidates for state offices aroused considerable in terest here today, particularly those in the race for governor. Chief in terest centered about the charges by State Senator George K. Laney of Chesterfield that machine politicians were attempting to elect the govern or of South Carolina and the reply by Thomas G. McLeod of Bishopville that the only ring behind him was that composed of the men and women of the state, a ring into which the other candidates were attempting to break. He believed that ring was composed of the majority of the peo ple. Mr. Laney was the third of the candidates for governor to be heard. After reviewing his consistent fight for appropriations for Winthrop Col lege through his 20 years of service in the general assembly he told the women they would have to wipe out that record to scratch his name. He hoped they would retain their individ uality and not be herded by any ring. LThere was no ring behind him and if elected he would be the governor t of all the people. Men and women I who voted against him would have I to wipe out his record for the white boys and girls of the state. Would they vote for a machine candidate, he asked. "I'm no rhachine candidate. Are you a machine people? There are such people around. I've seen some of them today, who are talking about the best man to beat Blease with. Mr. McLeod, who was next introduc ed, said: "You've heard this talk about rings: There's only one ring behind me, and in it I believe are the ma jority of the men and women of South Carolina. It is into this ring that other candidates are trying to break. I 4m not going to swell up and say that I am going to be elected gov.] er~oe.

The 2-mill extra tax for roads for 1921 was put up with the.ordinary tax as collateral when the County borrowed $40,000 for County expenses for 1921. Owing to the fact that a large a mount of tax money for 1921 has not been collected the County still owes $7,000 of the amount borrowed. The 2-mill extra levy for 1922 was also mortgages with the ordinary tax to secure the $40,000 loan for 1922. Until the balance for 1921 is paid the Board of County Commisioners can not spend one dollar of this money. The 2-mill extra for 1922 and all col lections from this sourc6 must be ap plied on the debt of the current year. Every school district gets credit for its commutation tax as it is reported by the Treasurer. M. C. Boulware, ..- Supervisor.. A CARD.
