Address, Lester CareoD, care of Lexington Dispatch. i ?] jij ii h ll't-l County Campaign Opened, Tbe Ccunty Campaign was opened at Swansea on Thursday, August j Oth. Io a pleasant and happy ad- | dress, Hod. W. H. F Rist welcomed the candidates and asked for a respectful bearing for all. County Chairman Spann bin fly j responded and formally opened tbe j , . , , ttt tt i campaign ana mtrocmeea \v. xi. Sharpe, candidate for the State Senate. He proposed to pitch his canvass on a high plane and discuss the i-suea squarely and f.?iriy. Ke reviewed tils record as n iueinb-ir i f j the House and said that if he had made mistakes they were errors of judgment and not of the heart. He spoke of being known by the people for 39 years, a great deal of which time had been spent in the old field school teaching "the youDg idea how to shoot." Referring to his record he read from the "State" that he had taken a prominent and leading part in the economical measures; advocated the $100,000 appropriation to the frco nnhlie Rchnnla and the curtail- ! ment of the expenses of the higher institutions of learning. He discussed at length his couLty government bill and said that the election of the two County Commissioners by the people was a return to the old county government system. He opposed the broad tire bill. His opponent favored this bill. I do not attack his character, but Lis record is public property and is a fit suLject for legitimate criticism. I am charged with riding on a railroad on a free pass contrary to the statj utes of the State. Replying to this he said he was a representative from Lexington county and was also a lawyer and a private citizen of the same couDty. In the first instance he would refuse a pass, in the other capacity he was the local attorney of the road and in the discharge of his duties as such was entitled to and did use a free pass, besides this be gave five acres of land to the company which, also as a citizen, entitles him to a free pas3. Every vote of his as a representative was in the interest of the people. He was also charged with voting for pure water for the members of the General Assembly. The people of Lexington know what ''canal soupv is and he was sure they will not blame him for wanting pure drickiDg water. Here he made a thrust at his opponent for voting for an increased appropriation to Winthrop Normal and In. college. He went before the House committee on railroads and opposed the proposition to abandon the Carolina Midland railroad, through his efforts an unfavorable report was obtained on Bank Caughman's bill and he was the first to ask for the enacting clause to be stricken out. Dr. Crosson was placed on the finance com mittee not from popularity, but simply to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of his predecessor. He would not refer to any of these unpleasant things but for reports made behind his back. He endorsed the dispensary as the solution of the liquor question and had supported it in the legislature. At the close of his address he was liberally applauded. Dr. D. M. Crosson, candidate for re-election to the Senate, was theu introduced. He commenced by stating that he had hoped that the campaign would have been pitched on a | higher plane than spate, quarrels, etc, but was sorry to see that his opponent is excited and was throwing dirt at him He was here to discuss issues. You all know me and you know that it was through my competency and fitness that I was placed on the finance committee of the Senate and the record will show that I have met all the requirements with ability. Can a railroad attorney, with a stated salary per year, representing a corporation, go to the Senate and consistently vote against the corporation which he represents in the interest of the peo I pie, to say nothing about ridiDg on a free pass in violation o? the law? He was here to stand on his record. As to the broad tire bill he favored it because his county has clay and sand and while it might not suit all sections of the county, but there were many people whom it would benefit. He favored it also because R;chland county had expended a a large sum of moDey in McAdamiziDg her roads and Lexington being an adjacent county, whose people trade largely in C dnmbia, would ! entail a hardship and envolve his i people in endless litigatior through injury to the roads by the use of the ; narrow tires. The purpose of the j 1^.111 i y-v /1,-x Arynr v f ? I f flin nor I Ulli Mr as LlUlr IU UU a * ? aj n uu hjg i-iui. row tires now in use. They could be used until the vehicles wore out if it took -40 years, but to force the merchants to purchase nothing but broad tires after the passage of the bill and their present stock was ex- : bausted. There is no hardship in j this. He favored the appropriation! asked for by Wiothrop College, be- : cause the b:ick ar.d othpr material . ! 1 * ! was on tue grouco, going 10 wisie for the want of fuuds to build a domitory. Tois annex its greatly n -ed ed an 200 or inort f ^ruiers' daughters could be educated there by its erec i tiou. He ihtn made a forceful plea for the education of women, claim ing 'b>it the women only received one fifth of what the boys received from the State. He was a friend to the free common school-1, but voted against the $100,000 appropriation because it would be burdensome to the people by increasing taxes aDd because $G0,000 would go to educate .1 f.t.. 1 [ne negroes 01 me lower counties, who pay do taxes. The records show [bat the various public schools of iLe county have not used all of their apportionment. There is about $7 000 in the county tieasurv to ?be Cf?(lit <f the sch. ol district which, after p.yiug the chart claims, will leave a balance of about 85,000 He made arrangements with the sinking fund commission for the county officials to borrow money at a less rate of interest than they have been heretofore paying, thus saving a considerable sum to the tax payers and getting the county out of debt. He favored biannual sessions of the legislature. He stooda squarely on the dispensary platform. Had been a fiiond fn tlio nr>nr lw ftQftistinor them in a substantial way to make their crop3 and, this, too, as a matter of friendship and a fellow feeling for the worthy poor and not as a money making matter. Send him back to the Senate and he would faithfully and zealously woik in the interest of his constituents. He closed amid applause. Col. D J. Kaotts was at home; his record was known?it was known in the legislature. He was a life long prohibitionist, but was willing to stand by the original dispensary law with the profit feature elimited. On the school issue he favored supporting the fiee school system. In State politics he said we agree, in national issues we do not. He was in favor of a white man's government in State and nation and argued that the National Democratic party was net progressive. In answer to a question he stated that he would positively support MtKinley, but would support Dr. Stokes and the balance of the Democratic ticket State and county. Rev. E. L. Lybraod was the first of the candidates for the House to address the people. He was thankful to the reform movement for the i opportunity to meet the people face to face. Btfore the advent of the reformers, the aristocracy met in convention aDd elected whom it pleased as officers. Now the common people were in the saddle and named tbe officers, and the candidates were now discussing the issues befoie tbe people. He opposed trust > f i -1- i ana xavorea me comujou buuoui syatem. There were too many laws on tLe statute books now and favored biannual sessions. Practically be wa3 a prohibitionist, but thought that the di-peusary law was the best system of controlling the eale of whiekcy. He said we should not fight the law, but give it a fair trial, after which, if it proved a failure, then try something else. Rev. N S. Younginer declared in i fomr nf rnv?hi hi t inn. A a a minister. he could not do otherwise. Believed that we should not continue the liquor traffic with its sinful effects. ! He was a Tillman maD; spoke of his war record and declared that the same God that stood by him then would stand by him now. He warned the people to have the moral courage to stand by their convictions. A F. Lever regretted that he was not a Confederate soldier, but was proud that he was the son of a gallant one. Tnere were three charges against him?that he was ugly, little and young, none of which he would deny. He believed in the higher educational institutions, but thought that there might he some reduction of expenses without hurting their tmciency. Aner some amusmg anecdotes, be declared in favor of the dispensary as the best solution J of the whisky problem. Didn't believe that prohibition would prohibit but wouldn't go back on the expressed will of the people if elected to the House. At this point our notes ended as we heard the jingling of the cait wheels rolling our way and after receiving a few we left for GastoD, the next meeting point. There were present an estimated audience of 300 men, women and children and the candidates for the other offices spoke At Gaston, Mr. G A. Goodwin was the master of ceremonies and introduced as the first speaker Solicitor J. Wm. Thurmond. He spoke of his record and said that he had fearlessly and impartially discharged bis duties without fear or favor and would continue to do so if re-elected. It was the paramount duty of every J candidate to discuss the issues be- | I fore the people. As to the canai 1 dates for Governor he had Dothlng to say. He discussed the liquor (j lestion at length. He opposed the practice of raiding young rae:a to be hypocrites and liars and declared that he would ratht-r see men drunkards than hypocrites and liars. Under thediug store system men would buy whisky and favored, for vaiious reisons, the dispensary system of controlling the sale of whi.-kv. He then brauihtd out on national affairs and urged the election of Bryan. Hj advised parents to give their children a liberal education and allow them to choose their own avocations. He said Mr. Muller ranted all the ham and eggs that Edj-p field had been having; but this was not a contest of counties, but of men. Mr. J. A. Muller, candidate for Solicitor, claimed that it ws;H not proper for candidates for Solicitor to i discuss issues and said why should he discuss prohibition or dispensiry It would be his duty, if elected , Solicitor, tc prosecute io either case. , What good would it do him to talk on the various question*? Ii 1 wa* simply a.-kicg }ou for your suffrage. . Lexmgtou couDty was the ti st to tbrow ciT the Ridical rule and from , this she won the name of the '"State of Lexington," which Dame she proudly bears till this day. Ho then told of the prominent position Lexington took in the war for cor stitutional rights He was glad to say that he was a Lexingtonian. EJgefield has had her quota of offices an-3 the other counties have had theirs and he asked for his people their share of public recognition. Here the candidates for the House commenced speaking and we take up Mr. J. Brooks "Wingard. He q aoted from the Comptroller General s report, sbowiog how much money had been expended for educational purposes. He thought the three Rs were the fundamental principle of education and therefore shou.d be fostered. He did Dot oppose Mgder education, but if more benefit could be obtained from the money ex pended be would favor it. He recognized the abominable whisky habit. The dispensary will not regulate and was not satisfactory or it would not be discussed so much. Prohibition will not prohibit. We must teach moderate use of whisky in our family. Teaching and moral character must settle the question, and if elected will be governed by the will of the people. Mr. D F. Efird was the only gen uine clodhopper in the race and you want a plain, practical farmor to represent you ana iook alter your interest. My record is with you. I aru the father of the bill reducing the school term * so a9 to enable the schools to run on a cash basis, which will be done next year. Was in favor of all the higher educational institutions; favored biannual sessions and only needed one vote of having it adopted. He favored the dispensary, unless the people decide otherwise and thinks it the beet method of controlling the waisky dtink habit. At Brookland there was a weil patronized ice cream festival served by the ladies from tables conveniently arranged on the green. There was a jolly crowd of beaux and belles and each couple seemed to have been for the time being at l^ast. transported to 'he realm of love and were worshipping at the shrine of Cupid, where we left them undisturbed to seek the more prosaic and tangible evidences of the reality of life?the j;ngle of the Almighty Dollar. During the evening music was discoursed by the Brookland band. Speakers from the mighty Salvavation army of candidates were solicited to favor the people with chin music and, although jaded and tired by travel, Sharps, CrosaoD, I >ver, ESrd, Wingard, Muller and Thurmond responded, having for an audience quite a large crowd composed mostly of the employees of the mill. The speakers were well received and each received a share of the cheering. Nothing but issues was discussed and everything passed off pleasantly. Here, as well as the other place?, it was difficult to pick out the strongest candidate. Saturday was campaign day proper and the candidates were active in the hunt for votes. The various candidates for county officers then appear on the scene of conflict and the battle for billots was commenced by the discharge of the small guns first. At the conclusion of Col. Knotty speech that ever welcomed sound was heard announcing that dinner wa3 ready and waiting for the hungry. Dinner beiog over the speaking was resumed and S'okes, Tnurmcod, Muller, Sharpp. Crosson and Lybr and addressed the meeting going ever about the same ground went over at previous meetings. ._ _ . | wi iyi ulh! thin blood, weak lungs and I | paleness.
