The plank in the platform calling for a stricter enforcement of the laws, particularly the prohibition laws, and asking that ):ersons convicted of sell ing liquor be given chaingang sen tences without the privilege of paying a fine, was adopted without debate, al though everybody in the convention unlderstood the political play und1(erly Ing it.

The PIlatform Adopted It was about 3:30 o'clock when the platforI was finally adcoted. The docu(0men t had been pretty well shot to nieces, but it was still the Evans platform, as adopted by the Spartan hurtg coilnty convent ion. Whether In tentional or not, the platform as sit) mitted was a direct attack upon cer tain political leaders and certail po litical faction, and they have resented it.

The Race for Governor The announcement of J. E. Swear gen, state superintendent of educa )n as a candidate for governor, did >t put an end to speculation as to her possible entries. Former Judge endel L. Smith, of Cheraw; former eutenant Governor T. G. McLeod, of sholville; and former Railroad mmiiiiissioier Jolin G.

'In other words, many the dielegates to the state conven mi felt, and sai(l, that certain cafi dates for governor were running for at oiliev with a view to becoming a ndidate for the :,enatte against Sena r Dial.
