\ Cnlcciiisin for Candidates.
Mi;. I'.i'i : Senator Till man (hink.s
thai tliv questions which arc engaging
(lie attention of our pcoplcoiight ehiel
ly to he sett led by the Legislature, sind
are not questions the solution of which
ran he iiiiluenced l>y State ollicors, und
I am inclined to think he is, lor once
iii Ir's life, right. Then it is pertinent
lor us to inquire of the candidates who
aspire to represent Anderson Count.*.
:n the Legislature, a leu questions.
Now do these gentlemen stand on
the question of child hihor in factories.'
This i- becoming :i burningquestion
in Anderson County. The rapid in
crease in factories points to the. fart
that in two ycaisthis L'on ut y will lu
be dominated by the "faelon vote."

lionea l'ath, Anderson So. !. No.'.',
\o. ' '>. ( M r. COX, Uivei siil? . These are
die cotton mills alone. Tin n .ne vari
oils other manufacturing .nul em poiatc
concerns in the Count v. Mo we want
.1 race of tallow-laced, stunted, half
developed people raised in Anderson.'
If we; don't, then we want lo prohibit
chilo labor in factories, and 1. for one,
want to know how oui legislators
stand on I he subject, It won"! he
many years before the (i^lit between
"country vole" ami 'factory vole" is
<ui in Anderson County.
I would like to a>k, furthermore,
how our candidates stand on the fac
tional issues, which once divided us.'
Two years ago everybody proclaimed
that factionalism (it there is such a
word.i was dead, lint this year Men
Till man is on the stump, and for his
own purposes lie is bent on raising the
factional question again, lb- lias no
opposition lor re-election, and he does
not discuss any national questions, but
he goes about "raising rain" in the
State. 1 wonder if he remembers how
his followers insulted <:encrai 1 lamp
ton at Aiken in I.V00, because he came
to Aikcu, in response to an invitation,
t ? ? make a speech on campaign day.'
Is it true, Mr. Editor, t hai Tillman,
whilst professing not to be siding with
any particular candidate in the race
for Governor has passed around the
word that the "faithful1' must vote for
Gary? It is so reported, and it seems
from current comment on the street to
be true. Well, Mr. Tillman tried in
the race between Karle aud Evans to
dictate to the people of Anderson how
they should vote, nut he failed misera
bly. And if I know anything of the
independent, thinking people of this
County he will fail again. The day
has gone by when lu; can crack his
whip over the heads of Anderson peo
ple and make them dance to his will.
Is it true that a ticket for County
offices has been arranged^ if not. sug
gested, by the little "bosses" in the
Court House.' It is whispered around,
tor instance, that there were not.
enough men to till out the legislative
ticket. Is this "ring rule.'" It looks
so to a man up a tree.
Do the people of this County believe
that the preachers are a set of liars and
hypocrites.' An "insolent hierarchy,"
because they dare to entertain opinions
which do not accord with those of
Senator Tillman.' Do the people be
lieve that Hen Tillman knows more
about religion, morality, virtue, truth
and honesty than do Bishop Duncan,
Kishon Canors. Dr. (?'irdnor, Dr. Car
lisle, Mr. Uichnrdson, and others like
them.' If our people believe that, then
Ictus shut up our Churches and wel
come tho sentiment which prevailed
during the black days of the French
Revolution, and let us admit that Till
man is bigger and greater than moral
ity aud religion, superior to law, and
above criticism.
Mr. Editor, one of the greatest Com
moners and Domocrats, though in
name a Republican, that this country
ever produced, said: "You may tool
some of the people some of the time,
you may tool all the people some of
the time, but you cnu't tool all the
people all the time." We have got iu
this County a brave peonle who won't
be led by the nose. They intend to
vote for their honest convictions, ami
Tillman can't fool them any longer.

It was our pleasure to attend the re
union of old soldiers at Cars well Insti
tute last Wednesday. A large crowd of
'some 2,000 people were there to bave a
big time, and they had it, too Excellent
speeches were made by Col. E. M H?ck
er and J. B. Tillman in the forenoon, and
in the afternoon the commutes turned
things over to the office-seekers. Hon.
Julius E. Boggs was tho first speaker,
end he mado an excellent talk concerning
the late war between the States. Next
came his able opponent, J. A. Mooney,
who waa followed by Col. John T. 81oan,
candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Next
came the prohibition candidate. Col. Jas.
A. Hoyt, which ended the speech mak
ing, except among young people, who
certainly enjoyed themselves hugely. It
was our good fortune to take dinner with
that "big-hearted" candidate, Hon. John
B. Leverett, and we euro had a good din
ner. If Col. Hoyt is elected to the office
of Governor, and we get prohibition and
it prohibits the sale of whiskey in South
Carolina, it will no doubt be something
grand to behold, and will mark a new
er? in the closing of this nineteenth cen
tury. Bis election may be sure, but to
prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors
may not be counted as assured. There
fore, as the present solution is a very good
ens, and as MoSweeney's administration
is very creditable, we aay hurrah for the
present incumbent. This County went
solid for prohibition two years ago, but
from the way the voters voted In Ben
Tillman's hand primary at Ande.-son it
seems to us that they have changed their
minds to some extent, and dispensary is
still favored to a large measure.

The election is drawing near, and
we notice that some are already begin
ning to boost their favorite candidates.
It is not our intention to boost any par
ticular candidate. Hut there are some
principles which must be a large con
stituent of the one who is to receive a
majority vote of the State, or at. least
Anderson County. We do not want a
man in olliec who sets his face towards
the past. Those men who use their
energies in strcuously opposing such
advancements as the building of good
roads, and raising the State out of the
depths of a degrading and sin-cursed
liquor rule, are not the men to sit in
high places governing this people in
this day, w hen peace and advancement
should he our highest aim. The pros
perity of any State depends upon the
prosperity of i?s constituent units?the
home- ami, how can this State expect
to prospur while it sells a drug that de
stroys the manhood, the purposes, the
lifo and tho property of its constituents?
What would tho people say of a man
who used every precaution possible to
maintain n wolf ami sheep in the. same
pasture peaceably? Would they not
say: "Tool, separate, them?" Just so, if
our people w;ant a land of peace and
plenty, they must, without fear, remove
forever this damnable drug that works
upon the vital life chords of man. If
the men that wo havo gladly followed
in the past, reiuso to comply with our
wishes, why in the name of reason let's
put other men in their places. B. It.
Tillmnn hns swayed tho public mind in
this State during tho lust ton years,
and many people havo followed him
implicity. Hut, without any intention
of ensting a shadow of a doubt in any
one, we must say that many dire and
unt hough toi calamities have been per
petuated by seemingly friends. It is
plainly to be seen by all, that Tillman
is bent on maintaining and supporting
the machine that hns given him supre
macy in this State. I remember when
Tillman, in all humbleness, addressed
the people solicitously, calling himself
a "Wool hat and ono gnllus iuuu." But
where is the "Wool hat and ono gnllus
man" now? He is transformed into a
bold, daring, arrogant man of ingrati
tude, assaulting the highest calling in
the universe?too ministry. These re
marks are not intended to bo taken
contemptuously. Wc have high re
gards for Senator Tillmnn. Hut. when
a man refuses to grant his aid to his
supporters, it is our advisory to support
one who will. Why will our people
doubt ami fear the results of prohibi
tion? Thcro or? absolutely no evil
consequences that can possibly follow
strict prohibition, and it is not a pro
blem that can bo solved in dollars and
cents. Lnst Sunday we passed along
the public road and saw a crowd of
drinking and riotous white men and
boys naked and bathing in tho creek.
Wc also entered a Church recently and
saw a boy sitting there sanctimonious
ly under the voice of the preacher with
a half-pint of liquor in his vest pocket.
Now, we admit that prohibition would
not prohibit a man or boy from bath
ing in public viow or on Sunday if thoy
wished to do so. But it would remove
beyond their reach this damnable agent
that so emboldens their brutish na
tures. Hurrah for every candidate
who stands for prohibition!

THE GREATEST ! THE BEST !
The McCormick Mowers and Bakes.
IN 1881 McCormick iras the pioneer Mower manufacturer. In 1900
they lead the world in harvesting machinery. The McCormick Mowers are
supreme in sales nvAr hQlf the e?.rtb. And th?T? La good reason. The Mc
Cormick Mower has lightest draft, will start without backing. All kinds and
conditions of grass?timothy, clover or alfalfa?are alike to the McOormick.
The gearing is the simplest, tho pitman is the longest and strongest, the knife
and the cutter-bar tho most excellent and taie. The McOormick Mower has
the only rolling tilt. The McCormick has a direct draft from the team to Urn
cotter-bar, ?n<f the axle turns on the frame on the. celebrated McCormick
roller bearings.
THE McCORMICK HAY RAKE is the finest rake ever run. It
rakes clean, does net roll the hay, and is everything that a man can ask for
in a hay rake. Your 10-year-old boy can operate the McCormick Rake. It
is the strongest built, nicest built rake on the market. The wheels are good
and strong, and will stand all the hard knocks. You can set the McCormick
Rake so that op land, where there is old stubble or trash it will leave the
stubble and rake the hay* ,
