The State board of equilizal ion, r he S<

THE STATE CAMPAI6N.
The candidates for state offices
continue to fill appointments
made for them by the executive
committee. They are making
practicallv the same speeches at
every point, and as reports of
their remarks have already
more than once been published
in these columns, it is not worth
while to republish them now.
Any new features developing
from time to time will be noted.
About the only unusual incidents
in connection with tlie
campaign that have occuned
during the last few davs ''cropped
out" at the Monk's Corner
and King-tree meetings. At the
i former place, last Friday, Mr
A. O. Jones, candidate ror trov
ernor, made the statement :hat
J Mr. B. Freeman, representative
ot a Bait more liquor concern?
Charles li. Ross & Sous?told
him that it was a common practice
to pay a concession of ten
per cent to the board of direcI
tors, which was divided iquallx
(among the members ot the
' board.
At the Kingstree meeting day
before yesterday Cantder, candidate
for railroad commissioner,
created somewhat of a sensation
by "jumping on" Commissioner
I Wharton. The incident is reporf1
ed by the Columbia Record as
, follows :
The feature of the day was
Cansler's attack on Railroad
Commissioner Wharton. He
said lie Inmseit is lame m the
leg, while Wharton is lame in
the head. If not elected lie will
work two more years and make
enough money to run again.
Wharton never had been commissioner
ol the people and
neve'- would he, as the railroads
own him body and soul. lie
again declared that Wharton
i had given free passes to rural
delivery delegates to Illinois.
Mr. Wharton interrupted with
j the remark that it was false and
that any man who asserted it
would have to stand under tha'
allegation. He read Johnson's
letter declaring that he had never
received anv such letters from
him and that Wharton had made
j 110 offer ol free passer.
Mr. Can-ler rushed to the front
with a c >ntident grimace on his
fane and read those words Irom
Wharton's telegram irom Or
aog burg, published in t lu-Green1
ville News of the 11th: ''As to
1 having givt 11 many pa-ses that b
1 not true "
