As it waa impossible for The Advertiser's representative to be present when Mr. Giles D. Mime spoke last Thursday, we publinh the following report which appear ed in the Augusta Chronicle, being written by Mr. W. P. Calhoun, its Edgefield coorrespondent: "Mr. Giles D. Mims of the west side of this county, in accordance with his pullished notice that he would address the people of Edge field today, carried out his pro gram. There was a fail crowd present to hear him. The speaking was at the fair grounds. His ad dress was temperate without un necessary verbiage, and on needless changes in the laws. Mr. Mirna was an announced candidate for the state senate, but withdrew from the race for personal reasons, and his aim today was to explain his views to the people. "He waa introduced by Mr. S. McGowan Simkins. "Mr. Mims announced his head ings to be as follows: Good roads, suppression of carrying concealed weapons, the establishment of a bureau of information for teachers in the office of the state superinten dent of education, the veto power of the governor, the recall as it related to our courts and the Bristow amendment to the federal constitu tion. "He was of the opinion that we had to abandon our old system of working the public highways, and that we had to adopt a new system under the charge of competent en gineers. The people demanded good roads and they were going to demand the delivery of the goods. "He thought that the carrying of concealed weapons was a mania, and that the surest remedy was the passage of a law requiring every man to register his pistol and the penalty for failure to do so, ?100 or ninety days. "The teachers bureau should be put in the charge of the state sup erintendent of education to take the place of the teachers' employment agencies which requiren the teacher to put up so much money with the application and who had to pay the agency five per cent, of the salary earned. He wanted to cut out that expense. "He was satisfied that a governtfr was not more wise than the general assembly, and that the veto power should be taken from him and giv en to the supreme court which was much more competent to pass on the passage of laws thai? an individ ual. "The speaker was1 very much op posed to the recall as it related to our courts, and especially the su preme court, claiming that if poli tics got mixed up in our courts, that trouble would follow, placing the courts between ihe devil and the deep sea. "Mr. Mims was bitterly opposed to the Bristow amendment to the federal constitution and pictured the danger of our election precincts being guarded by federal bayonets as was the case ?H this state pre vious to 1878. He called it one of the most dangerous propositions ever submitted to our people and be urged his hearers to vote for legis lators who would oppose its ratifi cation by the South Carolina legis lature. He was not opposed to the election of United States senators by the people, but, he was opposed to federal supervision. "Mr. Miras was applauded at.the close of his address." Fourth of July.. The glorious Four th. waa. quietly observed ir Edgefield. The banks, stores and other places of business were'cloded for .the day.
