Only two of the candi dates for mayor received anything like attention, Messrs. Payne and Ashmore. The crowd was hungry to hear some thing from "Bob" Carter, the redoub table candidate for reelection in Ward, 6, and until he spoke, as he was the last on the program', the .crowd was restless. 'V.. ' ' . The order of speaking in the court house was reversed.- Jas. M. Payne, candidate for mayor, came first.. He reemed to have a large following in the crowd and wa? well received. He said he would be the mayor of all the people and. no respecter of per rons. He was in favor of abolishing, the office of recorder and would try' the cases himself, and would give a fair deal to all who came before him. He would give-We?d 6 a square deal on the matter of street improvements. Would Stop Waste. He favored abolishing ono of the clerks in the city hull and devolving the duties upon one man and he would see that the man did the work and gave the city his whole time and would not have outside interests to take all.of bis time. He recalled the fact that he had beau county treasurer for 18 years and he had done' SH that he could for the mill people. ?ven ? when Treasurer Copes of Orangeburg had been mur dered and Ute legislature passed an act that county treasurers would take their own risk in going out from the county seat to collect taxes, he. Mr. Payne, as county treasurer, had always gone to the mill villages at his own expense to Bave the mill people trou ble and to prevent them from being delinquent in paying their taxes. Mr. Payne spoke ? of the campaign lies that are being circulated, and said that they did not bother.him, and. be hoped that none of his friends would use any kind of cump lignin.; of that kind. He concluded by asking wno knows the financial condition 'br the city today.

Mr. Godfrey stated that there are some who wish the office of recorder abolished. If this could be done and the work devolved upon bim be would see to one thing, there would be no partiality shown. If a boy from Ward 6 came up town and happened to get a little full he would not be harsh with him in recorder's court, for the Raine thing when done by otber boys IF often not brought before the police at all, but the boy is sent home in a hack. He favored taking the san itary dues off the mill people who are airo taxed lor sewerage that they don't get. Attention was called to the fact that at the court house Thursday night when Mr. Godfrey was aBked where he stood on the "blue1 laws" be de clared that he hasn't much putlence with them and tbat he bad seen them fail in Columbia and other cities, und that a circuit judge bad declared un constitutional the "blue laws" in Greenville. Mr. Elmore Under Difficulties. The next speaker, Mr. E. E. Elmore, was not well received und after mak ing a game effort to present himself properly to the people of Ward 6 ?c practically gave it up as a hard Job. All through his efforts to speak there were numerous queries about the "blue laws" and the "where can I get a dope on Sunday," etc. Mr. Elmore stated that he bad been a friend of Ward 6 In council for the lact two years and had done everything that he could to assist Alderman Carter in getting improvements for the ward, and at times had suffered uncomplain ingly the criticisms of the other warde for so doing. But be thought that Ward 6 deserved something. He was proud of his record in council. He de clared that it was he who bad made the fight, against the Public -Utilitiec contract in council, and that he natl done so for the motive of service tc the people. He bad tried to get thc best contract be could for the people ?nd had succeeded in doing more thar some of the others who now talk t great deal. But now that the issue hat been fought out, he ls willing to let th? court decide the validity of the con tract. He had done the best he coull for what he conceived to be tbe in lerer ls of the people and he would al ways do PO. A Capital Speech. The last speaker of the candidate for mayor was Dr. Frank W.

He had cast his. lot with *h mill people of Enoiee and afterw.:rd at Newry and finally hod come to A? ierson more than 12 years ago. il had practiced among the people < Ward 6 and he was not of thc kin that came among them every tu years asking for their votes, but I had been their physician and he come to (.heir call on many occasion ,,.Wo came, back at those who advi sated taking off the sanitary .dues, ft he explaained that if this, were to 1 done, the negroes, who pay more tbs half, would get out of the tex e; Lirely and the white people would ha? their property tax Increased just th much to help keep up the health the community, for the money had be raised. The mill people would ii bc bettered anyway by the removal the sanitary dues, for the mill peon would have to keep Up the sun ita service and would collect the dues Ju the same. He declared In answer to one of l opponents that he had something ci than mayor to occupy his time, th he would give enougb of bis time the city to make a good mayor and t pennie are looking for busy men the days, for the men who have notbli to do are not the progressiva me: He admires the white way. but i peated bis objection that the mon might have been better spent In a b ter way for the benefit of th* cit: He does not conceive of the pi vence of the recorder's court to be I criminal court, and he would if ected mayor offer to do the work hi self, and while he would adminfoi the law to protect the people and preserve order, yet .he would not the people of one section of the c be treated differently from the o ers.

' s" BREAK OVER RULES DISCUSS SUFFRAGE National Federation of Women's Clubs Finds a Smooth Way To Inject Politics Chicago, June 12.-Thc General Fed eration of Women's Clubs tomorrow, for the first time, is expected to fure the question of woman's suffrage for adoption or rejection. There is little opposition tn the adop tion of a resolution approving the principles of equal suffrage, but the battle wil come when an effort ls made to have the f?d?ration make the fight to o. k. the ballot for women ps part of the federation's propaganda. The subject hitherto has died In committee because the federation's constitution prohibits consideration of religion and politics. In the numerous eonferencesV?f this convention, however the great strides made by suffragists in recent years were recognized and il was agreed that enlightenment on the subject might come properly under thc heading of education. . / It is a further rule that the resolu tions shall deal only with those sub jects which have been discussed on the floor. For ".his reason Mrs. Helen Boswell, of New York, referred in Mie briefest possihln manner to the sub ject at the educational conference to day. Although' she scarcely more than mentioned its existence it was suffi cient to form the entering wedge. lt is believed the..resolutions com mittee tomorrow will report in favor of the principle of. equal suffrage. This, it is satJ, will bring the fight to the floor. Delegates today held three sessions. Tonight there was an address by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, of New York, president of the Inter national Women'a Suffrage Alliance. POLLOCK GIVES HIS PLATFORM Says That He Would Get Out of the Race If Some Other Would Enter Cheraw. June 12.-W. P. Pollock candidate for the United States sen ate, has given out the, following open letter to the people ,pf the State re garding bis candidacy/ The time approaches near when entries will close for candidates for State and national offices. Many able and- patriotic men - have announced their candidacy for governor and for other State offices, but so far only two mon have anonnnced their can didacy for the United' States senate Sen. E. D. Smith and Gov. C. L. Blesse. '.rt , I know of no ?aw'-Vit Drer land' nor rule of the party' tha?'-give lo a* sen ator the right to succeed himself, but on tho contrary tlie constitution of the United States limits tba term to six years, and the expiration of that term a senator's commission goes back to the people whence lt came to be by th--m bestowed where they will. I know of no law of the land nor rule ot the party that gives to a gov ernor the right to succeed to a seat in the United States senate at the ex piration of bis gubernatorial term, but on the contrary a governor who uses his office to 'build up for himself a political machine with which to elect himself to some other office shows that he is utterly selfish, and he vio lates the spirit if not the letter of the constitution. There is a widespread demand throughout South 'Carolina, for a broader held from which to choose a (United States senator, behause the wisest conclusions are reached only after the fullest discussion-the best representatives ot the people are found only when the people have a full held from which to select 1 have been urged by. many unsel fish, 'patriotic men from every sec tion of South Carolina who have only the best interests of the State and her people at heart to enter the race for the United States senate thia year, but I have hesitated to do so before lest my entrance Into the race might keep some other maa who- might be more acceptable to the 1 people from an nouncing his candidacy- But the time for doubting and walting has passed South Carolina needs the services of her sons. She deserves better abroad than she has been receiving at home. She gave me birth and sustenance, and whatever I ami owe lt to her and I gladly place myself at her disposal. I therefore announce myself a can didate for the United States senate In the approaching democratic primary, and In doing so I do not wish any good, patriotic man who ls willing to place his services on the altar of bia State to stay out of the race on my account, but I shall welcome into the campaign any good man who fWta that he can, render a patriotic service to his peo ple. . .< i . . lift I I am not a candidate of any clique or caucus. I have entered into do com bination with any man or set of men. I have nothing tb give and nothing to promise except faithful service to my country and my people.
