notes nftd mortgages, was now escaping
taxation.*
Mr. Carothers thinks that the reason j
so much of this kind of property is es- |
caping taxation is her a use it has to he
returned at' face value. A mortgage j
for $800 is $800 and that is all there
. ?.
is to it. He favcrs a constitutional
amendment whereby these classes of j
property mishit be re'urned at a rate
lower than face value. ,!
He agreed with Mr. Reamgua^d that
many of the recommendations Af the
"Efficiency Committee" tfcre excellent.
He in awaro that there are some usc: j
less offices and that if they are abolished
taxes will be reduced to some j
extent, although not a great deal. He i
pledged himself, however, to try to ,
abolish all offices he considers useless, j

He said that he was opposed to Sunday
sessions, of the legislature because |
they were contrary to the law of God. |
He did not attend the last Sunday
session of the legislature.
Porter B. Kennedy.
Porter B. Kennedy of Sharon, said
he was opposed to holding legislative
sessions on the Sabbath.* in introducing
himself Mr. 'Kennedy {explained
that he was not a public speaker, but
that he had prepared a paper outlining
the principal planks in hie platform,
which he proceeded to read to
the audience. He stands for a fair
deal for the producer of wealth. He
believes that there ;ire too many on j
the road payrolls who are not giving
honest service. He thinks that the supervisor
and the county commissioners
should be roa4 ?apcrts a,nd that if
there are none qualified as road experts
who would car? to-offer for the
places, then it, is*:high time that some
persona are beginning to equip themselves
for this work.
Mr. Kennedy said ho thought the j
county and state should got two miles i
of road for the money expended j

He would abolish the twenty-seven j
township road commissioners of the j
county and provide that, the supervis- I
or and the commissioners of the conn- |
ty should each supervise the work in j
three townships in addition to the du- i
ties they now perform. As matters [
now stand the county supervisor and
the two commissioners do not have to
give their whole time> to road work.

experiences with them.
He was opposed" to corporation law- |

pass an act Yotfuiring a person who J
persuades a cropper to leave a land I
lord, to pay .the loss result in.? front 1

make high taxes and he was present i
to explain. He reminded his hearers '
that they had voted a goodly portion ,
of their taxes on themselves by direct
vote, reviewing the educational pro- ;
gross that York county has made in !
recent year;:, he said that while taxes I
were hit ling him and everybody else
hard, there was much to show for such
expenditures. While the neighboring
state of North Carolina may have better
rdads and schools than South Carolina,
the North Carolina rate is much
higher.
Discussing salavie--. of county officers
he didn't see hbw it was possible to
reduce thrm, since living costs were I
so great. "I'M lie fair with you," he [
said, "I don't see how the magistrates
and their constables can live on their
salaries." He favored liberal appro
priulions for Clemson college. Winthrop
and the State Medical college.
Reading figures showing the salaries
of some of the officials of the
state highway department, he said he
was opposed to "the state highway
commission crowd." He believed that
York county's part of the automobile
lf#ee*nsp money should be kept in York
county banks and not in Columbia
banks. He' favored economy where
possible, but he would go down into
defeat before-he would reduce npprorv..a.?
r,;i* 1 br? common schools or
Winthi'op college.
Replying to an inquiry from the
Fort Mill Ministerial Union relative to
Sunday sessions, he said he was opposed
to them. However he did sit in
the house during the memorable session
last March because he believed it
his duty to watch after the interests of
h's constituents. He was ashamed of
that session, however, and he was
ashamed to look his pastor in the face
when hi it turned to his home.
J. Lee Spratt.
J. Lao. Spratt of Fort Mill, did not
think it necessary for him to make an
extended speech, since Mr. Beam guard
had covered the ground. "We know
what the trouble is and what the rem
f'dirs ore, no ram. ric >v;i? iiiminif,
on hir. record as a business man and
go-ge?.tcr. lie usually got what he
went after.
W. J. Talley.
\V. J. Talley of Hock ITill, said he
was one of those nmn whom Bon
Hooker ol the Railway Rabor board,
had recently described as outlaws, lie
was a new man in politics. Ho reviewed
the history of his life briefly.
He was horn in I/incaster, but for the
past sixteen years had been a resident
of Hock Hill, where be was employed
as a railroad shopman. He said
he stands lor good roads, good schobls
and th? needs of the eounty. He is
opposed tr> unnecessary expense. jiv
favors liberal support of the Confederate
soldiers.
He opposed Sunday sessions of the
legislature. He was opposed to any
partition of V?>rk county. Able men,
he said, should he sent to represent
York county in the legislature, lie
believes be is qualiticd and bo wants
the votei*3 to send hiin there for a
term.

\\*. T Slaughter of Hickory Grove,
a candidate for county superintendent
of education, said that *he present superintendent
had enjoyed the position
