Small Crowd Heard the Candidates at :Initial Meeting and Little Interest Displayed?Annexation and Free Bridges of touch Interest in Fork. BY D. R. HAl ..WANiJER. Tke Lexington county campaign is now'in full swing. The'first meeting vras"held at Irmo, in the famous Dutch j Forfr, onx Wednesday last, where About 250 of the sturdy yeomanry ; came out to hear the candidates fire | their initial guns. ; 5?he meeting was entirely featurei Hess, save now and then the explosion 1 of a boom of "hot air7' by some of the ! speakers. Eut this was the opening of the 1910 campaign and it was but ectural "that the candidates should . make an occasional "brake." It ; most always takes the "boys" two or ; three .days to find out the sentiment J of the people, and the careful politii ^ian usually guards his words and ! stays on the "defaasiye." But this i was not the case w&h all of the aspir1 ants at Irmo. Some of them began to -$rip and tare" at?tfce very beginning ; <ft their speeches, with the result that MSie andienoe gave them a "call [j :iown. County CMman EHrd. | fThe meeting was presided over County Ohalrmaa D. *F. Bflrd, who, -after a brief invocation by the Ber. JI. -S. Riddle, made a wringing address, fa which he thanked the people of : bezington coimtyforahe many honi': ora they had throat upon him in the past. "Fellow cfcJastia," said he, ! *Solj-days of political f*peech-making jh? over for the present, but I oousa i before , you today, as your. county \ ch&irevan, to; formally ^pen the campaign of; 1910, and<I trust that from thia-very. meeting: there will be the wannest feeling between all of the candidates, and I hope that all of the candidates will be accorded a respectr ! fol aad attentive bearing Qn every ! stuas^p in the county- .This, I know, fcfeey will receive, beeause it is a characteristic of the southern gentleman, ! Sooth (Carolinians and Lexicgtonians. Eaeh man is entitled to his opinion and, raraember after all, m-7 fellow citizens, that when the race is over, no matter what the result, we will all 1 join hands and work for the common ! srood of ??rand old .Lexington." Mr. E&rd then announced that all of the candidates ;for the Houae had signed the pledge in regards to the proposition for freeing the Congaree and Broad rarer bridges, which was published in rthese columns last week. Allowed ZO,Minutes Each. * The candidates for legislative hon; ors were allowed )?0 minutes each,, '! while the candidates for minor offices j; .were given 10 misyifces each. The first speaker was Joseph h. \ Amick, candidate for reelection to <t&e House. Mr. Amick thanked the i people for their suffrage two years : agou when he was elected on the first ] ballot. Mr. Amick told of his first experiences as a legislator. He said that (the boys were teilicg it for a joke that he did not know where to put his ? hat when he first entered the State rr nmi i _ 11: i-U _ or House. Aiiey are teuing tuau ?.? .* joke/' be .said, "but I want to tell you it is the God's truth." Ho said ; that the new men always experience embarrassment, but that liis embar; rassment was above the average, be' cause his name began with the first . letter of the alphabet, which made it - incumbent upon him to cast the first ' ballot on any measure coming before the House. He favors good roads and better schools, but is unalterably opposed to giving the higher institutions of learning so much money; is opposed to so many scholarships and fought with might and main the bill which purported to establish 124 scholaiships in the University of South Carolina. Capt. L. W. Redd. Capt. L. W. Redd, made bis maidriTklifinnl or>nAnV? O f Trmo if Cll ^UXIUlViai 0|XCCV/U t?u XIUIU) <v was a good one. He said at the outset that he had no promises to make, because there are 124 members of the house and that if he was elected i he would be but one man among that portant legislation is on, aim x win c guarantee you that it will not take me two years to find out where to hang my hat.^' Capt. Redd stated that he was born in Aiken county, but had been a resident of Lexington j j county for 20 years. Favors good roads and more of them, free bridges i and everything that has a tendency to ' advance the material progress of the county and that will redown to the i good of of all the people of Lexington county and South Carolina. ' Co!. J. Brooks Wingard. Col. J. Brooks Wingard, the next speaker, "began by saying that he hardly knew what to talk about, when someone in the audience shouted, "Talk about free bridges; that's what we want." Col. Wingard stated, in 1 reply, that the free bridge question ( was now up to the people; that it was in the shape of a referendum and the matter, he thought, would be settled at the coming primary. He said, how- 1 ever, that he was in hearty accord with the present plan to free the bridges and that he would cast his vote for the $25,000 to make them free. Taxation and good roads are issaes, he said, but unless we are willing to pay for good roads we will never have them, because it is impos1 alble for the chainmne to do all the work. He Is in facer of creating a road fund, and believes in an honest and economical administration. Col. . Wj^gard waxed-qoste -eloquent in disousekig education, as ho pleaded for a livelier interest in our schools. He asserted that parents should visit the schools in which their children are being taught. "We, as parents of South Carolina," said he, "are not doing our duty in the home. In the schools you can make a good citizen, but not a good man. This can only be accomplished in the home." Hon. Isaac Edwards. The Hon. Isaac Edwards began with a catchy joke, after which he stated that he had only come to Irmo to have a heart-to-heart talk with his friends, and to extend the right hand of fellowship from the sand hills to the good people of Dutch Fork. He paid a glowing tribute to this section and to Lexington county, as a whole. "In the bloody sixties Lexington was t.ViPrA '' "Tn T,o-vincrfrvn nrmrif.xr 1 ' was there, and in the 'SCs, when the great reform movement was brought about, Lexington county was there; and in all of these fights the people of Dutch Fork had helped to carry the , banner on to victory.'' Mr. Edwards I then entered into a discussion of the ] annextatiou question, by reading fig, j nres from the comptroller general's i { report, in which it was shown that the ; tax valuations of Richland county are ; more than the tax valuations of Lexngton county on, an average. At this . juncture the speaker was interrupted by a few seemingly strong advocates of annexation to Richland, and the presiding officer, Dr. J. L. Shuler, pleaded with the crowd to give the speaker a respectful hearing, whether they were in accord with his views or not. Leaving the annexation question, Mr. Edwards stated that he was in favor of good roads, good schools, and local option As to the liquor question he always had believed that every man i had a right to drink it, and that every , man should have a right to sell it. , Mr. W. R. Lowe. Mr. W. R. Lowe, of New Brook1 laud, was the next speaker. He began , | by thanking the people for their votes ] two years ago, and declared that the ( encouragement he had already re- j ceived, led him to believe that he was ( going to be elected on the 30tb of August. If elected he promised tc be in his seat all the time looking after the interests of all the people of Lexington J county. Said he would not make any f promises for the purpose of riding into 1 office, neither would he use money or a whiskey to buy the vote of any man. I Favors better rural schools, free bridg- t s and good roads. As to the liquor fc ME WE JUSTIFIED? Perhaps we ought to be satisfied with present ichievement. But, you know uthe more a man gets the more he wants." This being true, we are then justified :n soliciting new business; and especially so, since we are so well equipped to handle it.
