BROWNING, CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. Times Man Gives Account of a Visit to His Home-Progres sive Farmer, Active In Kails of Legislature, Brief Sketch of His Acts as Public Servant. (From The Union Times, March 13, 1914.) The irriter had the pleasure some time ago of visiting the farm of Hon. Lowndes Browning in Cross Keys Township. Years ago, Mr. Browning realized that the one crop, all cotton, theory of farming was a delusion and a snare, and began raising bin own meat and corn. It has been 24 years since he has had to use any cotton money to buy meat for his plantation. Not that he has not bought bacon all these years, but each year he has sold more than enough hogs, hams and lard to buy all the meat needed on his plaoe. He bas a very nice bunch of short horn cattle and a fine Mock of Ram baulliet sheep. In fact, he lives at home. He is president of the County Farmers' Union, and during his ad ministration, this organization ha> put on new life, and is proving quite beneficial to its members in the purchase of fertilizers, and oth er farm supplies. Mr. Browning is very much in terested in the education of the ris ing generation, and he takes great pride in the consolidated school that has been established at Sedal ia, large:y throui h his efforts. Asan incentive to agricultural develop opment, he has given the use of several acres of land adjoining the school lot, on which the school board will have au experimental farm for three years, profits to he used for the school. He has served several terras in the house of representatives, during the sessipn of 1911-12 being chair man ot the Ways and Means com mittee, and the two appropriation bills introduced by that committee were only amended by the house to the amount of $83.75. This is a record that has never been equaled by the Ways and Mean* committee of any other term. The senate made few changes, and the vetoes of the governor were always opposed by a majority of the house, in most instances, by the necessary two thirds majority. Mr. Browning was the author of the refunding bill ol' 1912, and while this bill involved about $6. 000,000 00, one of the largest finan cial measures ev?r handled by the State, the house of representative? passed it without a dissenting voice, even without an aye and nay vote. When it was vetoed by the gover nor, it was passed over his veto in the house by a vote of 70 to JO, and an equally large majority in the senate. This act, if pl iced in operation, should save the taxpay ers of the State around SlOU.U?U per year for twenty years. iii; was also thc author of the asylum bund i-su . joint r?solution, submitted lu thc people at the lasl election. While this resolution re ceived:! majority of the'votes, i; did mn receive thu two-thuds vole which tin' resolution called for j therefore, did not become law. tl . : ? i wt?i i ? u? IIS ; her j 'Lie w-is th-.' author of a nnmbei of other bills o? beu?lit to the Stale, but to-.? tedious t<> mention her. Mr. Browning will be in the cam paign this summer as a carA?date for governor, and of the numerous candidates for this position already announced, he is the only one who, so far, has dared to outline a plat form of constructive legislation for the future. He has done this be cause he is very anxious for the people to have ample time to study and digest the changes he proposes. In other words, he does not want this high position because he is a "good fellow," or a congenial com panion, but because the legislation which he advocates would be of great benefit to the people of our State. Therefore he wants the peo ple to be informed, and have ample dime to digest these matters, so that they can vote intelligently at the primary. Ile believes in honest elections; he does not care particularly how Absoiu?e Absolutely Iras Many mixtures substitutes for I baking powder composition or e so wholesome a nor will make : Roya! is the cn?y E? from Royal Grape thin is brought about, so that every white Democrat can vote in our primary. He does believe that such rei trie ti on s should be thrown around the primary, as will prevent dead men, radicals, Bull Mooses and res idents of oilier States, naming the standard bearers of the democracy of South Carolina. He "'s in favor of a thorough re form of our school laws, io that it ?hall become the duty of the State, and uot of the varions counties, to educate the children of the State. It is contrary to all public policy, that uegro children in one county shall receive more per capita for their education than white childreu of another county, as is now the ease. All are the children of the State of South Carolina, and not of any specific county; therefore, it is tiie duly of the Si ute to see that each child has an equal opportunity to ebtaiu a common school educa tion. He is in favor of a thorough re form of our taxing department, so that the burdeus of government will fall on those most able to bear it and who receive the greatest ben efit from it. As at present organ ized, the taxing department of our government expends its greatest en ergy on every mangy pig,lousy calf, bankrupt stock of goods, and all half worn household and kitchen furniture, on the tax books, while many just sources of revenue are left untouched. In other words, under our pres ent tax laws, our tax official* are, with levoted zeal, catching the measly revenues that drip from the spigot, while the bung is left wide open, and just revenues, that should enrich the coffers of the State, are allowed to flow into the pockets of private individuals and corpora tions. Ile believes that our land-hold in irs :.n this Sente arc entirely too large, and that for thc greatest de velopment a:ul prosperity of our Slate, we should have a large in crease of white citizens who own j their homep. Ile feels that ho knows the necessary legislation to bring this about, and in the campaign ! th's summer, will develop this :. ??KI! j campaign; ; In closing 'i';-- brief sketi i: it is no-: amiss to sa\ that Mr; Browning iisa man of pleasing personality, loyal Lo. his friend:; und considerate of ali. ile is, nevertheless, a mau of strong character and great deter mination. He will make himself felt in the race for governor this .sumnier.-Adv. Look to Your Plumbing. You know what happens in a house in which the plumbing is in poor condition-everybody in the house is liable to contract typhoid or some other fever. The digestive org.'ins perform the same functions in the human body as the plumbing does for tho house, and they should bo kept in first-class condition all the time.
