CANDIDATES FOR STATE

j (Continued From Page One.)
| tuougn to oe interesting ana long
j enough to cover the subject. He is
| a graduate of the Citadei, iiaci taught
| in the public schools of the state for
| two years, had been engaged as Instructor
in two military schools in
Georgia, had volunteered and served
in the Spanish-American War, and
although over age had volunteered
at the outbreak of the World's War,
^winning a commission or Captain,
and serving in France, where he took
part in the battles in which the
Eighty-first division ' (his division)
was engaged. He recounted the duties
of the office, read the names of men
in the state wh? endorsed him as being
qualified to fill the place. He
warned the people of the unrest in
the country and of the effects in
some parts to stir up discontent and
disorder and advocated a well organized
National Guard in the state to
promote the enforcement of law and
the keeping of the peace. He said
that the ex-service men were the
men to have charge of this organizaI
tion, and being in touch wi^h them,
he felt his ability to better serve the
I state than the other candidate, Gen'
eral W. W. Moore, who ne said had
held the office for tea years.
At the conclusion of his speech,
[ the chairman called for the other
candidate, Gen. W. W. Moore, the
present incumbent in this office but
Gen. Moore was not present. It was
learned after the audience had been
dismissed that Gen. Moore was in the
city, and that he had noc arrived at
the place of speaking for the reason
that he expected he would not be
reached until about 1 o'clock, and in
the meantime he was emptying his
time in meeting the people on the
outside. He later called on the chairman
and erpressed his regrets that
he did not get to address the people.
The fact that three speakers were not
p:c?o::t, which fact was not known
to him, caused him to fall into the error
stated.
MILL PUTS ON NIGHT SHIFT
GafFney, Aug. 21.?After this
week the Palmetto Damask Mills will
put on a night force which will double
the output of the plant. Dr. W.
K. Gunter recently assumed the general
management of the plant.
CANDIDATES NOT
^ TO SPEAK FROM
SAME PLATFORM
Columbus, 0., Aug.21.?Governor
James M. Cox expressed disappointment
today when he learned
that Senator Warren G. Harding
would not speak with him from the
same platform at the Ohio state
fair here on Tuesday, August 31.
When the. Democratic presidential
candidate announced a few days
ago that he had adopted the invitation
to speak at the fair, he understood
his Republican adversary already
had accepted. The governor
was advised today, however, that
Senator fording had announced in
Marion that he would not acpept
the invitation and would not sepak
at the fair on the date Governor
Cox will appear.
"I am very sorry Senator Harding
will not be there to speak,' said the
governor, "I had spent an hour at
home already, preparing my speech.
"I had stated my willingness to
speak first. A man usually prefers
to speak last, but as a courtesy to
the senator, I was willing to precede
him."
Governor Cox returned at noon
today from South Bend, where he
spoke yesterday afternoon and last
night. He was highly pleased with
the results of his invasion of Indiana,
he said.
The meeting of the Tabernacle
built for a revival for Rev. Bob
Jones, son of the noted evangelist,
Sam Jones, probably was the best
; the Democratic candidate has addressed
thus far. The large temporary
structure, similar to those
built in various parts of the country
'.for Billy Sunday, though not as
spacious, was filled and the audience
was most enthusiastic.
1 LOWNDESVILLE MEN
TALK GOOD ROADS
(Continued From Pa^e One.)
I J
jthinking people want better roads.
' It is not necessary to argue the
,quesion, or to mention the advantages.
People are getting tired of
iwismiig', noping, uubuug, pju.nning i
and promising. The time has ar-j
| rived to get together, pull together,.
jand pay together until we .have
!much better roads. We should not
expect t splendid pikes or grand
boulevards. They would be too expensive
to build and to keep repaired.
Instead of spending eight or ten
thousand dollars *per mile and to
build only fifty or sixty miles of
good roads; it would be more satisfactory
to spend from two to five
thousand dollars per mile and on
one hundred and fifty or two hundred
miles, even df the roads should
.not be so good.
I The roads we now have should be
kept the most of the* way. They!
.should be widened in places, the
I steepest hills cut down or circled,
I and in many places relocated. They
(should be twenty-five or thirty feet
I wide and well drained. A road forty
| feet wide even, and have top soil,
|will soon be boggy and full of holes
if not properly drained. After two
I weeks of rain, the roads are very
jbadly cut up; yet today, twentyfour
hours after the rain, even the
| red clay roads are firm where there
,is a good ditch on each side of the
jroad. But where the ditches are
(filled up we have mud so deep that
I when one passes through it he
.wishes he had doubled the amount
of bonds.
I We must have better roads if
ithey do cost money. We may have
i some debt hanging over us in thej
| future, but debt is not so bad as|
I the roads of Abbeville County. A
.man wkh a large family may keep
| out of debt by forcing his wife and
i children to work like slaves and de;ny
them of the advantages of an
'education, home comforts and so on,
'but it would not be wise to do so.
| We hear a good deal about the injustice
to the future generation for
I them to be born with a debt hanging
over them, placed there by their
; fathers. We reply that it would be a
greater injustice te have them come
| Into the world to face the present
I highway conditions.
! The way to benefit the majority
I nf fhe npnnta 155 to build roads of
I" ' * "?- -
