THAT'S
ASKING ^EiM
* '
Jtt*i why -JaxmexaL.-amL. X?xaycrs
League thinks that a
uestionaire for*all leK'glj^Ve cam!;
utes will accomplish W?ft/thing, I
unnot exactly see. It is generally
nown, by this time, or should be,
lat a candidate, like the wellnown
lover, will make any promise;
avorable or otherwise, before the
rize iawon^ But after the knot is
ed, and the job is secure, just watch
lose boys ''strut their stuff". Monrth
of all they survey, and totally
argetful of all past arid regretful
romises of 'love, honor anc^-obey;**"
icy just naturally seize and use dicstorial
powers until her ma or ani
ther campaign appears in the ofng.
Then they' "cross their heart",,
romise to be~gdod and obedient, get
lie blessing, and dejpart to repeat the
ime proces. - So
runs the world along*
Still and all, some of these quesionairss
have good dope in them,
'or instancy the League in Newerry
asks if the candidates ^ favor
>mplete abolition of all fee -systems,
f all'scholarships and the substituon
of a secured loan for free tuition
I our state educational systems; of
II jpeless or .' overlapping offices,
oards and commissions; ?nd do they
ivor the rigid and regular audita of
ll officials whovhandle public fundaf
je'rewriting of t^e 6-0-1 law for the
urpose of eliminating extravagance
nd waste, the fixing of all salaries
> measurably conform then and
lereafter to those contemporaneousr
paid, employees in bank*. stores,
ail roads, cotton mills, mechanical
'ork, farm work, etc; the discohtinunce
of paved construction T after
resent contracts are completed and
he gas tax used to reduce state and
ounty taxes; the prohibition of nepo
[?m in county, state and federal ofces;
the printing of names of those
oked for cause..,
Practically til of -these coald be
rurwered in the affirmative without
tretching the candidates very tendr
conscience too far. Anyway, the
aftdtdate would know "that?" eren
hould he be elected on such a platorm,
that- his hands would be tied
nyway by political conditions away
rom home. Hence his alibi should

ine 1 fields of endeayor.
t!" '' Among the relatives who attended

e. sister qf Dr. Norton.
M& Bucks .remarks are as follows:
4,Dr. jE. Norton was born near Mil-,
ler's Church three miles north ^of
Mullins, S. C., Sept. 30, 1841*. he was
the son of "John Norton and~BeiriQC|

ordinary farm boy, going to school
fonly a few months a year. At the
i age of 19 he aftswered the call of the
Southland and" joined Companyjg

"He made a good soldier and
stj_ was soon promoted to Sgt, and then
nt to 1st. Lieut.
Lieut. Norton was wounded in ac'lliJ
ar_ , tiommear Richmond, Va., and was

April'1865. - . '
After the war hp returned to his
