THE CANDIDATES AT TOKEENA. Iiargo and Orderly Crowd Greets Nu merous Office Seekers. Tho executive committee ot the Democratic party appointed the 18th day of July ay campaign day at To keena, and later the citizens of the community determined to tet apart the same day as a day for an educa tional rally, and prepared a bounte ous picnic dinnor for the revival of the physical man. The village of Tokeena is situated in the very heart of that section famed for its progress. The enter prise, intelligence and progress of the citizenship here is prominent with every ono who knows this people. They have kept pace with the best and most progressive of the South. Here in this section are many of Oconoe's best and most progressive men. The broad fields of corn and cotton witness to the industry of this pe?ie; the commodious and beauti ful homes bespeak their tastes and prosperity; their well-built school houses testify to their appreciation of education; their churches show forth their love of God and apprecia tion of his goodness. The good wo men are not remiss in their interest In public affairs, and thoy take a lively interest In all that goos to tho development of their homes and neighborhood and makes for the bet terment of their people. While all this ls true, the young belles and beaux of the community are in e\i dence on every ocacsion for that which is good and true . By 10.30 a. m. in this lovely little village there had gathered some twelve or fifteen hundred people, both' men and women, to pay honor to the occasion. All sizes and ages, from the lads and lasses to the old men and women, were out In their j best manners to cheer and help. A stand had been erected for the speakers, and immediately in front a i table one hundred feet long had beeu improvised, as if to warn all that elo quonce was not all for the day, and we were thereby admonished against prolixity. W. P. Mason acted as general man- 1 ager for the day, and well did he con duct his part. He requested W. N. Bruce to open the meeting with prayer, after which he called on W. M. McCraw, who delivered an ap propriate address of welcome. After a few remarks by the County Chair man, he introduced as the first speaker T. A. Smith, a candidate for Superintendent of Ed ucation. He said it afforded him great pleasure to be present; was thankful for past support given him. He said that he was now called on to speak on that hackneyed subject, Education, upon which nothing new could be said. If elected he would devote his whole time to the adminis tration of its office. He had been teaching in this county seven years, and had had only one visit to a school taught by him by the Superin tendent of Education in that time e was for better teachers and better hoots. J. IJ. McWhorter said he hardly knew how to begin, but did want to say that the citizens ought to put their very best men In thlB office. He was not opposed to county high schools. We all believe in better education, but the effort to teach everything in common schools ought to stop and teachers ought to devote more time to reading, writ ing and arithmetic. J. H. Cantrell, too. was happy to be hore. Your voto, he said, must have put me In .second race two years ago. We all deeply Interested In the edu cation of our children. For fifteen yea rs he had given his best effort In teaching. Teachers aro born, not made. The school room ls a kind of experiment station, and the various stations all over the county need the car? and supervision of a practical teacher. W. C. H uglis followed Mr. Cantrell. He said that In tho last few years the material ad vancement of our country has been such that many of our people are overlooking their Intellectual devel opment In ?heir mad rush after wealth. On account of this our lit erature, which ls our only means of Identification In future years. Is ?ast going to decay. With the death of Joel Chandler Harris a few days ago the last figure of any prominence In Southern literature passed away. If wo aro not to be lost sight, of as a literary people In the next few dec ades, we must raise up some ono to uphold our standard. Before the Civil War we had slaves to provide the necessities of life, and the white people could give their timo and at tention to pursuits of culture and re finement. Since tho war we have had a prostrate and devastated coun try to ralso and upbuild, but that Is done and we should now turn to the cultivation of our Intellectual and spiritual natures. The plastic period of youth ls tho time of deep impres sions and we should begin In our public schools to lay the foundation for an Intellectual development which will make our Southland a place among tho nntions of the earth In the field of letters. If such a foundation ls laid in the public schools lt should bo begun in a systematic manner. e me the young man that put? his ney in the bank and I will Show i a man that will make his mark the world, for he can usually be ?ended upon in whatever under lng he ls identified with. VNK OF WALHALLA, WALHALLA. Pocket Check Books are Winners! To be systematic there must be or ganization.- The ideal condition is to have the system of public schools organized so that it will be one great machine, with the Superintendent at the head, drawing the teachers to gether and inspiring them by his su perior mental training and strong personality. But no such condition will prevail so long as our people are bent on the search for gold. The whole situation, he said, is summed up by the old poet when he said: "111 fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, > Where wealth accumulates and men decay; Princes and lords may flourish or may fade, A breath can make them as a breath has made, \ But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, When once destroyed, can never be supplied." J. S. Colley said that he was glad to be with the people and to account to them for his conduct of the office of Superinten dent of Education when he held lt. All the other candidates, he said, were drifting Into personalities, and it looked as if he must do the same. (Here Mr. Colley severely criticised J. L. McWhorter for saying that first grade certificates had been granted to persons for political pull.) The Candidates for Clerk, John P. Craig, Dr. O. C. Probst, C. R. D. Burns; and candidates for Auditor, T. M. Elrod and R. W. Grubbs; W. H. Cole, E. P. Wood and J. R. Kay then spoke. The hour of 12.30 o'clock had ar rived, and the ladles were seen spreading on the table a bounteous repast, and all eyes turned thereto. A table one hundred feet long was loaded with the very best of the land. Breads, chicken, beef, ham, cakes, pies and fruits of all kind were on the table In bounteous sup ply. Something like twelve or fif teen hundred people were there for dinner and were filled to overflowing, and many baskets of fragmontb were taken up. Tho beautiful belles of Tokeena served tho people from this table and all felt good. After dinner the crowd reassem bled at the stand and were addressed by the candidates for the House of Representatives. We all left wishing that many more as pleasant occasions may return. We all say, well done, prosperous To keena. Thanks to you for your hos pitality and kind treatment. Tile Remedy that Does.
