I! tax, (lie State was spending #328, for higher education, and only 1)00,000 for common school educaii? for 141,000 white children, not speak of the negro children. It s out of all proportion, he said, somebody had donated some land an institution in the eastern part the State, mid they had come to legislature wanting money (o put a building, so as (o secure the d, and the next session they ild be back lor an appropriation, 1 it meant the establishment of 'ther higher institution in the IVe ; lie Iligh School Act had been tn in hand by the State board of education, lie said, and its very purpose had been defeated when (lie board held it to man that by uniting ^ with the surrounding country distriots towns and cities could secure W these high schools, when Hie purpose H ""'a-5 to establish them in the country i districts. As a result ,">8 nigh schools Br had been established under this Act ^^knd '10 of them were in towns and ^^^L'ities. Mr. Jno. M. Taylor, |^^^^fti<iidate for the lower house, began HB referring to tlie great mnterial industrial progress of the eounSouthland, for ^H^Hislalion like these. cited his record as a member of lower bouse during the sessions .100.") and lOOfi, and gave ^H^H'iinl of his stewardship. Tie said had tried to the best of his ability DMM dischai?e his duly. It was a grand H^Bfmor, lie said, to be sent (o the legisH^Hature to enact laws by which the People were to bo governed. 3?jj|pV He did not have time in the short space of fifteen minutes to define his posit ion on every question before the people. lie was for a forward nioveBH men I and an upward movement. He j^H did not believe in crippling the highDH or institutions of learning. He did not believe in throwing any obstacle in the way of tin1 progress of C'lemson nor of Winthrop. Would it not be a shame to cut off the support to jH them so as to cripple them, when |jg| they furnished such opportunities to the young men and *r\nen of the State to receive a collegiate education. and when it required such a H small pittance to maintain them? Hut H he believed in supporting (lie higher fl| institutions economically, and not B5 extravagantly. Ii He was opposed to the immigration! bureau and when lie was in the legislature Ii" did everything he could to have the law repealed, and when that tailed, he did everything he could to out olt the appropriation. He was not opposed to immigration, but he was opposed to the people in the mills paying a tax to bring immigrants here to take their jobs, and that was what they were doing. He favored good roads, and if we had a tiling that was worth having we would have to pay for them. "Roads would have to be built by taxation. Every man?eve.-y citizen >honld bear his share in building roads. He believed in building up the country schools and the country roads. Mr. Os. Wells, candidate for the house of representatives, was next introduced. TTe was against exorbitant appropriations. He wanted as good government as we were able to have. Has remarks were a.bout the same as lie made at Longshore, and he then! dropped into rhyme, his verses being | new, however, and amusing the I crowd. He said if he got to the legislature he could take thai $100 and spend it as well as anybody, and he would come about as near doing right as anybody. Dr. C. T. Wyclie, candidate for the lower house, was next introduced. Dr. Wyclie referred to his record in the legislature, , saying that every time he offered r . for the legislature?four limes?ho ' had been elected by the people of | Newberry county. Everything he had Ptf done had boon done in the lime light, I and his record was an open book. ' k The foundation of law was to protect man. He spoke of his pari in j drawing the present labor contract law, when the old labor contract law I had been declared uucouslitulional. I Tie had uruod that in order to make j the law s|and the (est of Ihe courts an element of fraud in the violation of the contract must be shown. TTis ; suggestion had boon adopted, and he i believed the law would stand the lost i of the courts. Thai law was framed < to protect the farmers, and he re garded il a distinguished honor Hint < he had boon called in by Hie farmers i to help them and the lawyers whom they consulted to frame that law. ] Dr. Wyclie said he was Ihe fatli- < or of (he pure food law now on Ihe books, and he discussed the advan- i tages to the people of this law. Dr. < Wyche said he had also gone to 1 k W ashingtou at liis own expense and [ I I had made an argument before tliejabou commit lees of congress urging themjluhoi (o pass the national pure food law not which luul been passed. Dr. Wyehe lie k said liis pure food law and the na- bug*! (ional pure food law were in (he line a la of protection?protecting (lie health not of the people, lie wanted to see the of tl olliee ol State health ollicer, or State 111 bacteriologist established. lie was the in the speaker's chair when the bill1 fort; to create this olliee was up before the j the 1 hist house, and he sen I. for the speak- who] or to take his chair, and he went it ions down on the floor to explain the mer- sary, its of the bill, lie explained in do- so a: I nil the advantages and the pmtcc- poop I!<>n io the people of such an olliee.1 lb and one of the reasons he wanted to and go back to the legislature was to as- ions sist in creating such an olliee. ting lie favored education. lie had 1' I voted for the dormitory for WiiiI Ihrop, because the nirls were being eand | turned awav from Wiuthcop\s doors. ||,js The State had not yet done its full i heeu duty by these higher institutions of I..'aruing, lie had voted against the ( $.">0,000 appropriation for high m.0, schools, because he did not believe ||js , they would accomplish the result l)(.f,,i which had been contended they would h,, accomplish. The appropriation had been given, and what was the result? tjn,,. Nearly all the high schools which had (?jt, been established were in the towns U(, |, and cities. whirl livery I liing he liad a<lvocated be ! britrj had advocated because lie believed it youd, would be a protection to the people. lie lie was a friend of (h>> comiuon insui schools, and had done everything he ! hav" < o;ihl to sustai'. and footer and oui'.i ' < ?) |. them tip. : . :Mll! Mr. J. S. Dominick, ! Thev i 1 candidate for the lower house. came ! * ", ;1' before the people without any public record, having never before offered himself for any olliee. He was not '<>r " asking the people to vote for him be- """ cause he was a farmer, but as a eilizen who had a right to ask the people vv for 'l'-eir suIVrage. s l"t looked hard that the children in (,>l"" the common schools?915 per cent of "mMI the children?should receive only ,(>n' three dollars per capita for their '' u<' education, while those in the colleges ' (' ?only seven per cent .?received , over $200 per capita. Stale lie was in favor of giving the comnion schools more money making the districts larger and decreasing the 1M"IM number of districts, and building bet- ]n ' [ ter school bouses and improving them 111 '!l in every way possible. % lie favored good roads, and a small ^ tax, if necessary, for building the roads, but lie wanted to make every ",(>s citizen do his full duty on trie roads. x:l The Stale now had too many laws. Xo law could be enforced unless it ^lM?had public sentiment behind it. . lie wanted to see every man con- ,n~ '' victed of crime in a court made to serve liis sentence, and not given the P1 ' alternative of a fine. "n ('x Tie wanted the Shite farms sold. -1 I ? and the convicts leased to the eouni ies to build roads, and let the State vv'H'n stop raising cotton in competition x with the farmers. " ' There were two ways to reduce 0 taxes. One was ti? stop appropriations?which lie did not believe the people were willing to do, because l>n'".> this was one of the grandest Slates nian 1 in the union. Another way was to "1C n issue bonds to harness the vast water ; power of i he Slate. 'nlie was in favor of establishing ' 11iuIi schools for the children in the . ' rural districts?a high school*, say. in ' ','H> every two or three districts, so that !"j,>m' they would be accessible to the conntry* children. Mr. H. H. Evans, pver' candidate for the lower house, want- a' * ed to show some of the ills that had 1 M'01 befallen the farmer. The State today owed six million dollars, and was paying interest on litis debt. ? . " Tie favored supporting the higher s institutions of learning, but (lie ap- >0 (<t. propria tions for this purpose had bo- on'al1 come entirely loo extravagant. Ho *??? was against extravagant appropriations under any circumstances. The higher institutions were gelling enormous and exorbitant appropriations in comparison to what was given for the support and maintenance of Iho ;j common schools. | He was against the fertilizer fax I going to Clcmsou college. It was a Tory perpetual burden upon Iho farmers, ^ who in 18 years had paid Clemson K?..800.0ft0 in the fertilizer inspection tax. Tlie farmer alone paid that lax, and he wanted this burden lift[>d fiom the souls of ,i ^ .farmers. TTo was not against 0k..:.on, but Iho floors of Clemson were today barred ?ii lo the poor man's son. 'VIII I re favored lite repeal of the lion law. believing that the law had an iwored its purpose. He opposed the immigration hit- IAS roan, which would only bring in the cut-throats, the assassins, and the bomb-throwers. io candidates luwl been talking : I tlie labor contract law. The < contract law in force now would i hold a negro. The best method new of holding him was a good r y whip. lie* had fought bard for 1 bor contract law. bnt it would f hold because it was in violation \ le I nited Stales const it til ion.
