' The first meeting of the county }
campaign was ideal in many I
respects. May perfect harmony be E
maintained throughout the entire j
campaign. Let all the candidates
and their friends work to that end. j
Some of the voters have called- j
our attention to the fact that the ,
candidates for the legislature ?
failed to state their position on the ]
Brice bili at Red Hill. The voters 1
desire to know where they stand .!
ou this phase of the liquor ques- |
tiou. 1
Some of our readers have grown j
tired of the lengthy whiskey con- i
troversy. Furthermore, we have 1
not the space while the campaign 1
is on to publish articles that are (
several columns in length. For
these reasons we are forced to
' bring the discussion to a close.
We will accord "Temperance" 1
Bpace in our next issue for a reply (
to our last editorial, but, in order
to close the discussion, it is our ?
. purpose uow not to make any re
ply to what he shall say. "Tem- 1
perauce" also expressed the de
sire, in a conversation with us %
few days ago, that the controversy
be discontinued.
COUNTY CAMPAIGN.
First Sleeting Held at Red Hill
on July 27th. The Day Passed
Very Pleasantly and profi
tably.
It was eminently proper tha't the
first campaign meeting of 1906
should be held at Red Hill, the
"county seat" of western Edge
field county. Red Hill is in the
heart of a section that is densely
settled by sturdy, staunch, intelli- 1
gent, prosperous people, and is
easily reacted from many other
points. " I
This being the first of the se- l
ries of county campaigu meetiugs,
the one at which the candidates
announce their platforms, it was
expected that a very large crowd
would be present. The attendance,
however, was rather small, there
being probably not more than 350
persons present. Lack of interest
io political matters aud pressing
farm work probably account for
the small attendance.
Almost within the shadows of
the comfortable, commodious
school building and the handsome
new church, a stand had been
erected for the candidates to
discues the affairs of State. Here,
under the spreading branches of a
majestic oak, those who aspired
to become servants of the peo
ple announced the platforms upon
which they must .survive or per
ish. Their fates will be dic'ded hy
the result of the battle of ballots
which is to be waged on the 2Sth
of August.
The first matter to receive at
tention before the formal opening
of the campaign was the checking
up of the official list by Chairman
Rainsford to see if all pledges and
assessments had been duly filed
and paid by the candidates. In
this connection, we will state that,
owing to several - belated pledges
being received, the county execu
tive committee, at its meeting on
?Wednesday last, extended tho
time for filing pledges from the
20th to the 27th,. the day of the
first meeting. After checking up
the list Mr. Rainsford found that
all candidates had qualified ex
cept Mr. E. F. Thrailkill who had
forwarded his pledge as a candi
date for the House of Representa
tives but had failed to comply
with the rules of the Democratic
party by not paying his assess
ment.
Mr. J. H. Bussey, one of the
best farmers and most repr?senta
tive citizen I of the Red Hill sec
tion, acted as chairman of the
meeting. Before introducing tho
orators of tbe day he called upon
Rev. J. T. Littlejohn, the bishop
of the T? est-side, to invoke divine
blessings upon the exercises of
- the day.
Mr. S. T. Williams.
The honor of opening the cam
paign-the one to break the po
litical ice-fell upon Mr. S. T.
Williams, who was introduced as
candidate for the House of Rep
resentatives. He declared himself
/ to be a friend of tue commou
schools. Favors larger appropria
tions for the public schools and
. less for the state colleges. Stands
for lower taxes. As a member of
the township and county equali
zation boards he fought hard for
lower values on real estate and
aided materially in reducing the
assessed values on real estate from
10 to 20 per cent.
Mr. Williams next declared his
position on th<) liquor question,
favoring the state dispensary.
Says he voted to retain the dis
pensary in Edgefield county be
cause he believed it to be the best
solution of the question. As be
tween county and state dispensa- 1
ry, Mr. Williams favors the lat
ter. He fear? that if county dis
pensaries were established the tax
payers would become involved J
through the county boards, there
being no danger from this source
through the state dispensary, fdr ^
no suit can be brought against the '
.tato. 1
Mr. Ira C. Carson
The Becond speaker that was
presented by tho chairman was
Mr. Ira C. Carson, the editor of f
the Johnston News-Monitor, who c
i
s also a candidate for the legi
atare. He expressed great plea
ire in being able to mingle aga
vilh the people whom he kne
vheu he attended school at Rt
?i?l 13 yearB ago. Hud no apoloj
o make for beiug a candidate,
wing the right of every citizen
.ffer for office.
The labor question, said he,
me of the most importaut matte
vith which our people are co
Tonted. Instead of a sentence
JO days on the cnaingang f<
nolatirig a labor contract, 1
"avors ouacting a law that wi
iend the violator to the chaii
;aDg for a term equal to the li
)f the contract..
Mr. Carson favors a railro?
passenger rate of 2? cents p
mile. He is a friend to Clemsc
College, but believes that mo
ittentiou should be given to ti
agricultural course. He believes i
providing a short, winter term i
Clemson for farmers, which wi
?ive direct and practical beuel
to those who pay the fertilizer ti
lax, all of which goes to the 6Uj
port of this institution.
As to the liquor questiou, whir,
be detiguated as the "o verm a
tering, predominating issue," M
Uarson ?aye that he ie no strat
[Uer. He bas formed bis opiuic
au conscientious ground au
?tands for etraightout probibitioi
He believes that prohibition ca
be enforced. It is uot a weak, in
practical idea, having proven eu<
cessful in many places. Some pee
plo who go to prohibition etat?
declare prohibition a failure, sai
he, when if a perBOu from auothi
state were to visit Charleetoi
with its 140 blind tigers, he woul
declare the dispensary a failui
in South Caroliua. It was pron:
i?ed in 1892 that the dispensar
would lead to prohibit iou. i?ow i
the time for another step.
Hon. J. W. DeVore.
The next speaker introduce
was Hon. J. W. DeVore, wLo i
seeking re-election to toe Housi
He stated that liquor should nc
be the paramount issue in 'bi
campaign. Then spoke of the ex
tremiste on both sideB-iu th
dispensary rauks and amoug th
prohibitionists. Said hu stood fo
the dispensary last summer al
though he knew that it would b
voted out. Mr. DeVore's exact po
gition on the liquor questiou cai
best be stated iu his own werde
as follows: "I ara in favor of Itt
dispensary system. My preferenci
te for county dispensaries, witt
the dispensers elected by the peo
pie. If I cannot succeed in se
nuking couuty dispensaries, I an
in favor of a state dispensary
with the thieves turned out. I
Blected to the legislature I wil
vote for the dispensary system anc
against prohibition." Oppose I tnt
RayBor-Manniug bill because i
forced the Governor and Statt
Treasurer to mix up with the dis
pensary. He.regrets that the Bibi?
has been dragged into the l'quoi
question." After speaking of the
results accomplished by prohibi
tion, Mr. DeVore, says he favors
the dispensary becauso it ac
complishes the greatest good tc
the greatest number. Mr. DeVore
wants 6ome law enacted that wi!
enable the farmers to control ne
gro labor. He said he was rearec
on a farm and knew something
of the trials with mules and ne
groes. Tnder present conditions
said he, the negroes san almosl
dictate to the white people. Favon
cutting the negro out of the 3 mil
constitutional tax, but says wi
will have to go slow ou account ot
the United States constitution. H?
is opposed to paying for the edu
cation of the negro. Says th?
white people are having to pay the
expenses of tho summer school
now in session for the negroes aud
that he objects to it. Has bepn
working and scheming to provide
some way to get around paying
for tbp education of the negro. Mr.
DeVore said that if the prohibi
tiouihts get his scalp the people
will lose the strongest friend they
have in tho legislature.
Hon. B. E. Nicholson.
The last aspirant for legislative
honors to be introduced was Hou.
B. E. Nicholson, who also Btauds
for ie-election. He spoke of the
great need of men in public life
who are fearless and honest ; men
who advocate the views that their
hearts dictate and whe have the
courage to stand by their convic
tions.
Mr. Nicholson believes it to be
the duty uf every citizen to study
the liquor question, which is the
maiu issue, uot only iu the couu
ty but the state also. He declared
emphatically and unequivocally
tor prohibition, and will work for
it, but believes the,people of each
county should be allowed to decide
the question for themselves. Op
poses the dispensary because thc
traffic is harmful whether con
ducted by the state or individual.
More damage, said he, has beeu
wrought to Edgefield county
through., the liquor traffic than
through any other cause. Mr.
Nicholson urged the people to set
tle this matter upon a higher
plane than that of dollars and
cents, stating that during the most
prosperous yearB of the dispensary
the echool children in this county
only received 95 cents each per
annum from] the profits and that
during less prosperous years the
amount each received was ouly
65 cents.
Mr. Nicholson says that be
favors good roads and good schools,
and that the people eau get them
by raising their taxes. He urgod
tbe voters not to consider men t>ul
the principles they advoca'e,
svhich will live long after the men
bave passed from the stage of
iction. Has always guarded the
people's interests, and last sessiou,
is a member of the ways and ,
neaus committee, fought extrava- ,
?aut appropriations.
Superintendent of Education.
Mr. A. R. Nicholson, candidate f
"or county superintendent of edu- '
?a?Gii was next presented by
?hainuau Buesey. Mr. Nicholson
skid to he excused, as be wasrio
lublic speaker, lie told the good
leople of Red Hill, however, tbat
P elected be would do hip duty
aithfull}' and conscientiously.
Mr. W. D. Holland, who ia also
u aspirant, for this important po
il iou, on being introduced tbank
d the people of Red Hill for
heir generous support two years
go. Mr. Holland s.'iid that the
o-periulendent of education
bould do more tbau look after
he clerical work iu t,bo oilice. If
hat were bisonlj' or most impor
ani, duty the auditor or treasurer
lould be paid to look after keep
ng the b.iokfi. Mr. Hoi ?and re?d
i portiou of the school law which
?utlined the work of the super
ntendent of education, cominent
ng aud giving his views as he
ead it. He Eaid that if elected it
vas bis purpose to visit ali of the
ichools in the county, staling that
lis experience as teacher would

murgiug his duties.
County Supervisor.
Mr. D. P.. Seit broke the ice for
he candidates fer supervisor.

uade for this purpose? Mr. Self
?aid that be bad not attempted lo
nate a speech since bb recited
'Twinkle, twinkle, little star" at

Capt. John R. Block? rwas. n< xt
introduced, and spoke of the ger
fie* that he rendered and the ex
perience be bad gained as clerk
if the board for some years and a;
i number of the board. He is Op
posed to the .$2 00 commutation
ax. Do'ifl ubt believe it is right to
jppresB the white mau in order to
.each tbe-negroes. Cited the good
.oafs of Grien'AOjd, w! e on'y

>acb township should have ex
)Piid'd on its roads tb') money
bat is paid by that township, and
promised that if elected be would

ihe commutation lax into a gou

Mr. R. J. Moultrie was next

cused from making a speech. Ht

first candidate for county auditor
to be introduced. He addressed
bis audience aa "Friends", sayiug
that he believes the people are hiB
friends for they have for twelve
years elected bim auditor of
Edgefield county. He said that
there was a rumor afloat to the
effect that the discrepancy in the
treasurer's office was chargeable
to hie office, which be empbati
ciilly denied. Stands ready at all
times to give the people any in
formation they desire. Mr. Ha'ti
waiiger stated tbat the grand jury
committee did not find the dis
crepancy in tb treasurer's office, ns
was reported, but that be af.d the
county treasurer had previously
discovered it and reported it al
once to the Comptroller General,
asking that official to co^ae over
and check up the office.
Mr. H. W. Hobey, also a candi
date for auditor, was next intro

people of the Red Hill section for
