The politician hunting a job and
the politician after he has secured the
job are as much unlike as daylight
and darkness. Pledges and platforms
seem made to get in on; and to break
them in violating of a compact with
ttrh people does not seem to worry the
ordinary individual who by hook or
crook gets in.;
The people remember Supt. Martin's
campaign pledges, so often repeated,
that under no circumstances would he
allow more than one-third of the text
books to be changed at any one time.
It was this solemn pledge to the people
that defeated McMahan. Our
people cannot understand why the
State board of education repudiated
this pledge and made such changes
* - 4-hT.a
in our text dooks at one scuwug, Oil UO I
according to Supt. Martin's own statement
in the campaign with McMahan,
placing a burden of $250,000^00 the
people of the State.
The expense of purchasing new
books is no small item. The books
cost more, in many instances, than
the tuition is worth, and hence the
: injustice in loading up the people with
these too frequent changes, often with
$ books no better than those in use, and
indeed some they supplant are superior
to the new adoption.
.Senator Tillman spoke yesterday at
Fairview, Saluda county, part of his
original hearth, to nearly one thou;
sand people. It is said the fine
Saluda crops or the fresh country air
had put the Senator in excellent
humor, and all the Yvorld apparently,
and consequently his speech contained
less gall , than usual.
4'He did not cuss Lyon and even admitted
the good work of the investigating
committee, adding however,
that they had stopped 'when they had
their hand9 on the scoundrels.' He j
confessed that the trork of the com- |
mittee showed dishonesty and corruption
in the dispensary management.
4'He advised that the voters ascertain
how every candidate for office
stood on the dispensary question and
if he does not represent his views
leave him at home."
-He was well received and was fret:':
quently applauded.
The congressional candidates spoke
there too.
G. Wash Hunter, who shot and instantly
killed Elbert F. Copeland
over the card table Thursday morning
near Goldville, Laurens county, surrendered
to the sheriff at Laurens last
Saturday. He is greatly distressed
over the killing and declares he would
not have committed the deed for any'tVi
*? on.
Olllllg ill UliC WV/l 1U) axiu vmuuvv uv
qount for his act. He gave $2,000
bail before Justice Pope and was released.
Bishopville, Lee coupty, it is said,
honored the State campaigners yesterday
with the largest crowd that
has yet attended a political meeting.
It is estimated that there were 1,500
persons present, and the crowd all
good natured. The crops there are
said to be fairly good, much better
than in other counties.
* The
Methodists at the Rock Hill
-district conference Saturday passed
strong resolutions condemning the
dispensary and calls upon the brethren
in emphatic language to rise up
and crush the monster evil?liquor
traffic?from our State.
Mr. 0. D. Seay Declines.
I
On account of continued poor
health. I shall have to withdraw from
the face for superintendent of education.
The reason for the delay of my
withdrawal wras the hope that each
day would bring about an improvement
in my condition, but to my sin- |
cere regret it has not come. If in
any part of this affair I shall seem to
any of my fellow citizens to have
erred I want them all to knowr that I j
was acting, as I thought, in such a |
manner as would best conserve the
interest of all the citizenship of my
native county, Lexington. I
Hoping that the all-wise providence
has in store shall redound to the entire
constituency of Lexington county,
I shall ever remain,
Your most humble fellow-citizen,
O. D. Seay.
