W. & J. THE COUNTY CANDIDATES. Meeting at South Union waa Ploosont nuol 'Well Attended^ The campaign meeting for South Union last Saturday, the 11th ln " stunt, was called at that place, at the time appointed, ana was quite a pleasant and successful occasion. The meeting was called to order hy the County Chairman promptly at li o'clock in the White Rock school building. After some remarks from the County Chairman, he introduced as the tirst speaker P. P. Sullivan, a can. didate for the House. Mr. Sullivan said in substance: This is my tirst venture in the realm of politics, but since consenting to make the race I am in lt with all the the energy of my being, not for the money that ls in it, nor entirely for the honor of - the position, but that I may serve my people, county and State. I must admit, as you will directly discover, that I am no orator, but 1 feel that my business experience, and my for mer intermingling with my people, and my understanding of their needs and wishes will enable me to do something for them that will be worth mentioning. If elected I shall devote my best talents to the Inter ests of my county and people. I am opposed to extravagance in the ad ministration of -public affairs and shall oppose useless appropriations for any purpose, and will do my best to bring expenditures down to the lowest figures consistent with oifi ciency. I am opposed to immigration as at present mapped out, and in i's yt vor of the repeal of the lien law. ^\ Coke D. Mann said he recalled with pleasure his acquaintance with ou< people many years ago. Called at tention to the fact that he bas rep resented this county in the House during the last two years and felt the satisfaction of knowing that he has done for'the people the best he could under all the circumstances, and. in his own opinion, as much as any other man could have done. /Wished he could say he had done all that all the people wanted, but this he knew he had not been able to do. No man who has not. represented the people ?n the General Assembly can kno v khat it is, nor can he appreciate :.ow "ml it is to do anything there The faxes are lower now than they were last year by one mill, and this in the face of contrary recommenda tions. He said that he ls entirely re-, sponsible for the increase of the sal ary of the County Commissioners, County Supervisor, the Sheriff and County Superintendent of Education; that the grand jury, bad recommend ed it, and ho felt that they were ex ponents of what the public wanted, and he acted on this recommendation and thinks now that he did right. It had been told that he was responsi ble for the increase of the salaries of the County Auditor and Treasurer, but this was not true. They were getting about $1,000, and he felt this was enough. "If you wish the lien law repealed," he said, "I will vote for Its repeal." (Here Mr. Mann took a hand primary to ascertain the views of the audience. Very few voted one way or the other.) As to his not voting for Tillman, he said Mr. Tillman, in his speech at Seneca, had abused the preachers, of whom he was ruo, and with this fresh in his mind he Could not retain his man hood and vote for him, and Mr. Till man had told the speaker he a. nlred him for his manhood. The only trouble with him and Tillman was they were too much alike. "If # elected," he concluded, "I will give 1 you my very best service." w. M. FV?nneH, said this CRmpRign is somewhat like the opening of a milliner, where all the goods are dis played and you are allowed to take your choice. The County Chairman ls here displaying his samples, and lt is up to you to take your choice. Some say I won't work. J don't? have oro for this Famous Flour, botter in color, flavor and delicious biscuits and more >t from other flours. loos not please you. ?. Ask for "Town Talk." E. Bauknigiit. to If 1 don't .want to. "> have the right to take the other alternative and perish, for it ls with me to work oi? perish. The grand jury is again in the recommending business, and again it is for the increase of sala ries. I am of the opinion that sala ries aro high enough-at least we have about sixty candidates out for the different offices at the salaries now prevailing. In my opinion $1,200 is too much for the Superin tendent of Education in this county, if the grand Jury does think other wise. As a proof that I am right in opposing any lacrease of any sal ary I would say just look at the men asking to be allowed to serve you at i the present salary. I am also op ? posed to fixing a salary for the Clerk of Court and allowing him to collect ! the same fees and pay the overplus ' into the County Treasury. If the I fees of the Clerk are too high, re ! duce tho fee and allow the man hav ' lng the work done to keep the saving I in his own pocket. Who ls lt that pays the fees to the Clerk for re cording and Court costs? It is the I poor fellow who seldom is consider ed. He gives a mortgage, the fee for recording ls added Into the mortgage, and he must pay lt. Why not let him have the advantage of lower fees? If the Clerk should be re quired to pay the surplus into the treasury, would it not be the man who had work done paying a tax that is not required of. other people? I am opposed to any such scheme of taxing the poor more than their fair share. The poor man needB h^lp; the rich man can take care of him self. The next sneaker was W. M. Brown, who said he was glad to see the ladles out at these meetings; it was a good sign and their presence I insures good order and gentlemanly conduct. The people have the right to require all candidates to appear and discuss issues before them and tell where they stand on all subjects before the people, and he was glad to be before them to-day. He felt that the last General Assembly got top heavy In appropriations. There has been too much money put into the State colleges, and not enough into the rural schools. One-third of the money spent on thc colleges could be taken from them and then they could go on. The very best thing we could do would be to Induce our people to educate their children, and if we eau - not persuade them that they ought so to do, then he wag not sure that we ought not to pass a compulsory edu cation law. He is opposed to the Legislature appropriating money to bring immigrants here; opposed to immigration. He opposed any fur ther increase in the salary of any county officer. Then came the time for the candi dates for the state Kennt?', and E. E. Verner was first introduced. He said he had been found every time, on all occasions, before every committee and the House, nvgulng against and fighting increased appropriations, higher taxes and increaso of salaries. While he thought he had been right in most cases, he was not sure that he was not mistaken in some In stances. For Instance: Take the At torney General, who has the con struction and enforcement of the laws of the State in his charge. He ought to be the very best and strong est lawyer in the State. The salary for this office ls $1,900, and for this sum the best lawyers cannot be se cured, while the corporations are of fering/ for the same class of mon from $5,000 to $10,000. If we se cure an able man and he begins to make himself felt, to get rid of him a corporation comes along and offers his tn.000 to $10,(100, and the State loses her good officer. In a case in this State during the course of the last year the statu paid one good lawyer $5,000 to assist the Attorney General In tho prosecution of one (Continued on Fourth Page.)

Gignilliat-Two Other IH'aths-Personal Item?. Seneca, July 14.-Special* Seneca mourns the death of one of her best beloved citizens in the person of Mrs. Dr. John Hopkins,. who died at her home on Sunday morning last at 4 o'clock. Mrs. Hopkins's condition had been serious for months, but her loved ones who watched about her bedside had hoped that she would be spared and that their anxious solicitude and tender care would be rewarded In her recovery. Mrs. Sal lie Ann Hopkins was born in An derson county December 24, 1841V, and was the, daughter of Elizabeth Ann and Thomas Harper. On De cember 5, 1867, she was married to Dr. John Hopkins and to this un ion seven children were horn, one1 dying in inianty. Those surviving are J. T. S., Eustace, Eugene. Boyce, Maud and a married daughter, Mrs. Lillie Hopkins Tribble. These, with her hv-Bband and ono step son, Chas. Hopkins, p;e lett to mourn their ir reparable loss. Mrs. Hopkins was a member of the Baptist church from childhood, and was a conscientious, consistent, devout Christian, her gen - tleness und devotion to her loved ones being a marked characteristic in her lovely, womanly disposition. Her faithfulness to her friends, 1 her attention to the sick, and her loyalty to her church were prover bial, and her place will not be easily filled in either. During- her long ill ness, covering many months, the greater part of which was spent in bed, not a murmur orcomplaint passed her lips, and while'she would have remained here to do the work her hands always sough' to do, she regarded her afflictions cheerfully, bore them patiently, and expressed a perfect submission to the sum mons to "come up higher." On yes terday (Monday) afternoon at the Baptist church the funeral services were conducted by her former pas tors, Revs. D. W, Hlott, C. Ward law and C. 8. Blackburn, after which the burial took place at Mountain View cemetery. Many sorrowing hearts are mingling their tears with the stricken family, while the com munity as a whole expresses and feels a tender sympathy for the loved onts who to-day mourn their great loss. The death of Harry J. Gignilliat, , at Anderson last Saturday, caused many hearts *o sorrow here, where he resided for many years and Was popularly known. While he had re sided in Anderson for some years, he and his family were still regarded as Seneca citizens and were highly es i teemed as such. Mr. Gignilliat was ! lu the point, of service an old rail road man, though In years ho was not |nn old man, being u2 years of age. For i eventeen years he resided in Seneca, and during that time won the respect and confidence of her citi zens by his strict attention to busi ness-, bis courteous and gentlemanly deportment toward all. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Lula Bostick, of Conyers, Ga., and his second Miss Bessie Griffin, of Rocky Mount, N. C. He was married the last time shortly after he moved to Seneca, and he and his estimable wife were greatly beloved by our people. They have one daughter, Lois, who, with his wife and one sister, Mrs. Fannie Townes, of Oklahoma, are left to mourn his death. Mr. Gignilliat was a promi nent Mason any Pythlah, and was buried here on Sunday afternoon last by the Masons, the Pythlans acting ns honorary escort. The 'uncial ser vices were held at the Baptist church, Rev. M. R. Kirkpatrick, of the Pres byterian church, conducting the ser vice. Mr. Gignilliat was a member of the Easley Baptist church for many years. The numerous and beautiful floral offerings testified to the universal popularity of the man. Interment was made at Mountain View Cemetery in the tearful pres ence of many friends, who extend their sympathies to the grief-stricken family. As a personal friend we re garded him, and therefore express a personal grief at his departure, and to his loved ones is here tendered a sympathy which a full heart Ands Inexpressible.
