The ball started to rolling u aker's Mill near the line between t1 atre::du and Florence on last Wed esdav. from there they went to Turbe the nex:- day. at this place some of w .e can(iidates experienced some annoy nee by people making remarks and -king questions. We are told that at. 'urbevilC- an insulting remark was :de about one of the candidates which, ad the candidate noticed it, trouble 61 iav have been the result. Friday was the ardinia mneetinz. followed by a very oisy meetinz Friday night at Alcolu h Sseems to be the practice at Alcolu. >r those vho attend there to take the weetig: a' a joke. The v7riter was not t any ot tese meetings, but 1rom whatT a'T as been told him. the noise makers was incial-ly a few boys from Manning. -ese in ~ood nature prevented the eakers from unloading their views up n the multitude that had gathered to ar and be instructed, but on account f the persistent noise were prevented. N The line up as we are informed is bout as follows: Legislature,. Messrs. Rurges. ichardson. Reaves and Green re pronounced .jones men. Richardson w !id !Zeaves were members of the last s 2gislature and they are seeking an en- A os -ment from the people. Woods, B litchun. White and Kennedy are pro- w ouneed Bease men; Mitchum, was a v wember of ih- last legisiature and stood . y the Covercor, and he too. is seeking D n endorsement. Woods has served in E e leg:slature several terms, and has L asiderable legislative experience. R reen has also served in the legislature B efore.R The candidate for Sheriff is without L position. so are the candidates for uperintenaent of Education, Auditor bi ad Trtasurer. T The candidates for Clerk of Court in sponse to the demand from some in 1 ieir audiences as to who they favor for overnor. made answer as follows, J. . Timmons. for Blease; A. . Barron :d T. M. Wells declined to express iemselves for either candidate for gov mnor. These two take the position that m 1e office of Clerk of Court has no con ection or relation to the office of Gov .nor therefore they do not think it B roper for them to make a public dec- B .ration. in The candidates for Supervisor stand, in . P. Ervin non-committal as to who he w ill vote for governor. He too, takes pl ie ground the otice he seeks has no M lation to the office of governor there- R >re it is not incumbent upon him to de- fo are himself as to his choice. Johnston tt out and out for Blease, Davis is for at imselffrt. The candidates for Coroner are all for D lease except Mr. Baggett who is for A nes but 'irst for the ottice of Coroner M which he is now serving. C1 It has been impossible for us to get ;en an outline of the subjects the can dates for the legislature are discuss ig, but we are told that the speeches ill not cause the rivers to flow uphill e > make the mountains dance the tur e trot, that the most to make of the h eeches is what the whole bunch want be elec ted. but inasmuch as only three m be chosen the voters will have to be bt m~ent to make their selection from a ose before them. In voting for thew gislature a ticket containing more c tan three names, or a ticket containing .; ss than three names cannot be count-. 3 by the managers, as there is a rule ~ hih prohibits "plumping." There- B re the voters will be careful in select- c Sthe candidates for the legislature to t ae three names on the ticket for that 11ee- af At the several points so far traveled te candidates have been asked to com it themselves on the gubernatorial Le, this we do not approve of, espec .liv when it comes to those candidates ho are for county offices, and when the eeting takes place in Manning we hope e speakers will be permitted to make te eir speeches without interruption vi om the audience, and that no one will k them how they stand for governor. at he last meeting of the campaign takes sp ace in Manning, Friday, the 23rd and th e expect a large attendance. On Sat day the next day, the boxes will be dr iv~ered to the managers of the re- sp eetive clubs.

Mr. chairman, gentlemen and fellow citizens of Sandy Grove township:-In obedience to the laws of South Carolina govern ing the Democratic party, I am a candidate for the house of representatives. Being with you who have known me from my youth, I shall not endeavor to make a long speech. Shall touch on a few of the important issues. First of all. the bond issue for road purposes, I am opposed to unit bond issue, but I do advo cate local issues for drainage purposes. I think the past season has proven that it is useless to build road beds before the roads are properly drained; you can make your road beds with the dirt that is thrown - from your drainage canals which will give you good road beds and roads that are properly drained. You can connect small ditches from the various ponds of the community with your roads drained that will make your farms of low lands produce twice as much as they are 'ow pro ducing; drainage will add to the health and wealth of your com munity under the local system no section will have to partici pate that is not benefitted. If you want a bond for your section just petition with the names of the free holders on it and I will use my power to give it to you if I am elected. I am in favor of equal rights to all classes, and special privileges to none. I am in favor of some restric tion on the newspapers probi biting them from suffering the name of a man from being stig natized in their columns before charges are proven, I believe it will save life in the future. I am in favor of the rural schools receiving a portion of the guano tax. As I believe Clemson can run without a part of it. The farmers have to pay this tax, why not your child-en receive the benefit of the same. Mr. Kennedy touched on what what he terms Bleasism and onesism. Now fellow citizens it you want a man who will represent the masses I am your man but if you are in favor of a special class ruling, vote for the other fellow. 1 INe HIM 8t10I6 IR[g coffI DISRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA, In Bankruptcy. n the matter of G.

Tobacco Salse at Clark's Wareboase. One of the best sales in the history of the market was realized here Mondays There were 30,000 pounds of tobacco sold at the Manning Warehouse for an average of 17c. per pound. J. C. Den nis of Turbeville sold 3,225 pound of ungraded tobacco at an average of 21c. F. E. DuBose of Sardinia, sold 2607 pounds at 17 1-4c. C. W- Dennis of Turbeville sold 832 pounds for 23c. per pound. All the farmers were pleased with the sale. Manning has always paid the highest market prices for tobacco, and from the amount being sold here the prices must compare favorably with any Girls Not Wanted. In India there are more males than females. The proportion of the sexes at birth is not very different from that In European countries, "but subsequent conditions are relatively less favorable to female life." Even- today female children are not wanted. Not very many years ago the practice of killing them off was common, and, while this horror bas been very generally abol ished now, the girl babies are thought little of and neglected If nothing worse. They are neither so well clothed nor so well fed as the boys and if Ill are not well looked after. Regarding this question an English official in India related a conversation with a middle aged Punjabi gentleman who bad been compelled as a boy to assist at the murder of his Infant sister and whose aunt bad bad seven daughters and killed them all. He was careful to add that his family has since aban doned such practices. In Gujarat there Is a proverb that "the parents look after the boys and God looks after the girls." A Fish With False Teeth. Cap Wilson. the inventor of as many different kinds of spoons as there are fish that will take them. has discovered a new lure for catfish. He was on an outing amotg the sloughs of the Sacra mento river when one of his compan tons found him on the deck of his launch, roaring loudly. "What's the matter?' he Inquired. "Matter! Huh! There's a twenty dollar catfish down under this boat an' I'm a-goin' to get him if I have to seine him outi" "How do you figure a catfish worth 20?' ."his a-way: I was standin' right here a-cleanin' my new set of false teeth when he come up to the top. look ed at me an' opened his mouth. I grabbed for the boathook to gaff him an' dropped the teeth. Plump they went, right square Into his mouth Now he's down there crackin' crabs with my teeth. an' I got to eat clam eowder outen a salmon spoon."-Sat rday Evening Post. The Mace. The mace was originally a potent weapon of offense, originating doubt less in that earliest and most common eapon the wooden club. It was an essential part of a knight's accouter ment, being useful at close quarters. For ready convenience it was hung at his saddlebow. Says an'%ncient poem: And with his heavy mass of stele Then he gave the kying his dele. The besague and baston were varied forms of the mace. The mace used on horseback was a small weapon, usual ly of steeL That used on foot was much longer and commonly of wood, with head armed with iron rings and spikes. It was carried by the escort of magistrates and others as a ready protection against violence. As soc ety quieted down and Its original use el into abeyance the thing assumed the ornamental appearance It now has, it now being carried In a mere honor' ary form,-London Notes and Queries. Why He Chased Them Off. Two bank presidents on a sunmaer acation were patiently fishing Vom the mossy bank of a quiet steam when two farmer's lads came out of a nearby field and, after watching the ishermen awhile, began to play tag In the grass. Annoyed by their gambols, one of the naners chased the lads away and returned to his task "Good idear" commented the other anger. "Boys scare the fish away." "Oh. that wasn't why I chased them ff " rejoined his companion. "But I always dread a run on the bank." Judge's Library. A Batch of Bulls. There are several interesting bulls in the following serious paragraph that appeared one time in an Irish news papr: "To rob a man of his purse and then maltreat him for not having it would pass muster among pitiless brutal crimes, but to kill and slay a man to the point of death and then murder him for not dying quick enough Is one point better In the catalogue of human inmy. It Is enough to make rishmen set their teeth and talk Si lently In groups." The Byplay Minstrels. "Mr. Interlocutor, can you tell me the difference between a kiss and a sew ing machine?" "No. Mr. Boness I cannot. Please tell us the difference between a kiss and a sewing machine." "One seems so nice and the other sews seams nice."
