What does the Piedmont section hold in s-tore for the candidates for state offices? This question is beginning to take an Important place in the minds of the members of the camr-..;.rr>?r.?r nnrtv ,? thr> date for the en try into tho Piedmont draws nearer, writes Edward .McDowell staff correspondent of the Greenville Piedmont. Whatever degree of interest tho Pee Deo section and other sections may have shown in the campaign and the claims of the various candidates to office, the attitude of tho Piedmont is looked forward to in Sooth Carolina elections and the respect with which the seekers after political offices contemplate the Piedmont's verdict. The candidates feel with one accord that the Piedmont section holds the "balance of power," and it is in the Piedmont that the campaign will have its "wind up." The latter fact will doubtless call for various "side meetings" outside the regular itinerary and "whirlwind camDals-n" for each candidate may expect | to be in order. The mill vote of the riedmont will he courted feverishly, as is usually the case. The campaign party wili take its departure of the northeastern section of the state next week and the real entry into the Piedmont will be made on August 2 when the meeting at York is held. Next week's Itinerary will carry the candidates into the counties of Kershaw, Lancaster, Fairfield, York, Chester and Union. Then comes the second week of rest and after this the last lap of the county to county canvass will begin and the campaign proper of the Piedmont will be under way, the campaign closing at Spartanburg on August 25th, four days before the election. * Whether or not the Piedmont section will manifest the same awakened interest that has lieen shown in tne races for state offices in the northeastern section of the state, of course cannot he predicted, but in view of , recent developments in the campaign i and the fact that the election will be nearer at hand, the logical conclusion is that the apathy heretofore displayed by the Piedmont in the campaign will be overcome. The northeastern section of the state has furnished the largest crowds of the campaign. Net less than 400 citizens have greeted the candidates in any county seat in this section and at several places the attendance has been in excess of 1,200. In several county seats the large crowds were in attendance in spite of rainy weather and bad roads.

Political gossip is hoard on all sides. The most recent development of the campaign that bids fair to bring about other developments of a more interesting nature took place Tuesday at Marion. Quite unexpectedly and without warning the "break" came when in the course of his speech Senator George K.

KnmHnrr tlint Snn.nlnr Tjinev could I have boon referring'to no other than himself, Thomas O. MclJeod took up the charge and declared that ho was "the secretary and treasurer of his own campaign" and that the only "ring" behind him was the majority of the voters of South Carolina, a "ring" which he said all of the candidates were seeking as their backing. In his speech Senator Laney, declared in no uncertain terms that he was the candidate of no "machine" and If elected I LET US I I DO YOUR A-/3 X 'V ? < | GOING NICELY, TI { start we think we are (loi | doing part of the laundr % this town wtlo want the E | Deliveries twice a we( $ will come to your home f y back in due time and vc ? _ * with tlie Laundry work v ?
