SMITE AND EVANS
IN SPARTANBURG
Firing Lines Being Drawn Up by the
Candidates-Both to Speak There
on Labor Day.
The State.
Spartanburg. Sept. 1.-Spartan
burg is to be the battle ground in the
second primary campaign between the
candidates for the United States sen
ate, and tonight it is evident that the
firing lines are being drawn up un
der the personal direction of the op
posing candidates. Hon. E. D. Smith
of Florence, who led in the first race,
arrived in Spartanburg this morning
and has established himself at the
Spartan Inn, where he has received
many callers and held conferences
with his friends.
This afternoon ex-Gov. Evans, ac
companied by Hon. Geo. Johnstone,
one of his distinguished opponents in
the first primary, reached the city
and went direct to Gov. Evans' home
in the eastern part of the city.
The campaign here tonight is the
topic of .discussion. Mr. Smith ex
pects to leave for Greenville some
time after midnight and put in two
daws in that city. He has accepted
an invitation to speak here on Labor
day. An invitation has been extend
ed to Gov. Evans to speak upon the
same occasion, but he has not yet been
heard from.
Both Smith and Evans talk most
confidently of success in the second
primary.
APPEALS TO VOTERS.
E. D. Smith States His Position as to
Various Publi4 Matters-Reviews
Work with Southern Cot
ton Association.
To the Democratic Voters of South
Carolina: On account of the washouts
on the railroads I have not been able
to reach my friends from Florence by
mail or in person. I wish to thank
the people of South Carolina for the
magnificent vote they have given me,
and to assure them ,of my heartfelt
appreciation.
Time will not permit me to answer
personally the many telegrams and
letters I am receiving; but later on
I will do so. In the meantime I beg
that my friends will do all in their
power to organize and have a friend
of mine at every voting precinct.
I am very much .handicapped be
cause I am a poor man, and have not
the money with which to effeet as
thorough an organization as I should
like; I must leave my battle with the
intelligent and patriotic people of
the State; my hope of success rests
entirely with them.
I have never done the State of
South Carolina, nor its people, any
harm: on the contrary, I have given
four of the best years of my life to
helping in some degree to secure a
higher price for cotton upon which
all our people are dependent. In this
battle for the people my efforts have
iiot been confined to South Carolina,
~but I can produce testimonials from
men' of the highest character, from
-every cotton producing State, that
-my efforts have been equally as bene
ficial and fruiitful in their States as
in South Carolina. Had I desired to
* use-;is my political enemies have
charged me-the farmers of South
Carolina for a stepping-stone to of
fice I would have confined my work
-entirely to South Carolina, but this
I have not done.
My political enemies have also
-eharged that J have received a large
-amount of money for my services. I
-assert-and I hereby append a letter
*from the national treasurer of the
Southern Cotton Association-which
shows that I have received but little
more than my travelling expenses. I
have not made this fight for money or
for political preferment, but I made
it to try and help the poverty strick
-en South.
It is charged that the business men
of South Carolina are opposed to me.
I don't believe it. On the contrary,
I have letters and telegrams assuring
me of their support.
Being a farmer and knowing per
sonally and accutely the adverse con
ditions under which the farmers of
the South labored, and realizing that
from them and their efforts came the
support and sustenance of every other
business, it was therefore -necessary
that the farmers of the South be
placed in a position where they could
have a living chance to better their
condition and thereby better the con
dition of others. Every one knows,
who stops to consider, that the burden
of mankind is borne by the man at the
bottom; no building or structure is
stronger than its foundation, and I
have given my time and money to the
strengthening of the foundation.
The question of currency, a flexible
and elastic circulating medium, is of
prime importance to the producers
:14 lab vr- f ihis (oun1ItV. f_r the
;price of comnodities and labor is
largelv dlependent upnt)11 c1e
itV of currency to meet the demand.
I am in full accord with the Demo
cratic party to keep the compensa
tion of the laborer and the producer
on a parity with the value of the dol
lar and not allow the dollar to un
equally purchase either the labor of
the workingman or the product of
the producer. The burden of the tar
iff in its last analysis falls upon the
proucer, because he is the man -that
makes the wealth that meets the
expense. The tariff destroys foreign
competition and trusts Eleny domestic
competition. I am against both. You
can never break up the trusts until
the tarff is revised, and articles manu
factured by the trusts should be put
on the free list. All burdens and in
justices growing out of iniquitous
legislation fall upon the producer.
This unjust legislation is brought
about by the filling of our national
legislation with men owned and con
trolled by corporate greed. Therefore
the remedy of the people is the elec
tion of a man from the people who
will stand by and fight for the rights
of the people, who, in a word, is by
sympathy and interest a servant of
the people and not of predatory
wealth. It must be admitted by all
classes of legitimate business men
that the burden of the day and the
menace of the future has grown out
of manipulation of our laws by un
principled financial pirates.
We have had in the last few days a
practical illustration of what is meant
by cutting the timber from the water
sheds in the mountainous regions of
our State. The damage done cannot be
calculated. Therefore, I should use all
efforts ,ossiblM to have such national
legislation passed as would protect
us, if possible, in the future from a
repetition of this disaster. There are
millions of acres of valuable land in
our low country which could be made
available for farming purposes by a
system of drainage, and which would
bring a maximum result for a mini
mum expenditure of money. I should
use every endeavor to bring about the
passage of such law as would make
the drainage of our lowlands possi
ble.
I am in full accord and sympathy
with the platform of the national
Democratic party and its candidate.
In a word I think that I have prov
en to the people of the South that I
shall stand for any and all legitimate
legislation that looks to the better
ment of the condition of my country.
Whether elected or not, my time
and services shall be at the disposal of
those organizations which are striv
ing to better the price of cotton.
E. D. Smith.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 31, 1908.
Mr. E. D. Smith, Florence, S. C.
Dear Sir: My books as national treas
urer show that you received from the
Southern Cotton association less than
two thousands dollars in all. The ter
ritory covered by you reached from
Virginia to the Rio Grande, including
all the cotton producing States', and I
would suppose that the above amount
would have about paid your actual
travelling expenses.
I cheerfully give you this inf->rma
tion, as I have received many in
quiries of a similar nature. My books
are open for inspection.
-Yours very truly,
(Signed) F. H. Hyatt.

A PSALF OF LIFE.
(With Apologies to Longfellow.)
By W. 3. Edmondson.
Tell me not in box car numbers
Life is but an empty dream
Wihen your meals are green cucumbers
Oh, how charming life does seem.
Life is real when you are working
For a railroad day or night.
There you have no chance for shirking
You must do your work just right
Lives of railroad men remind us
We can never be sublime.
Btu when going, leave behind us
Garnishees upon our time.
Garnishees which perhaps some other
Wandering o'er the railroad track,
Shall behold and tell his brother
That he never will come back.
Let us then be up and doing,
Doing every one we can.
With our creditors pursuing,
Let them catch us if they can.
We shall work from night till morning
From the time that we are hired,
Till the superintendent tells us,
''See here, boys, I say you're fir
ed.''
When our harvest days are over
,And our working hours are spent,
With~ out shoes all torn and dusty,
With our back all tired and bent,
We shall near the gates of heaven,
But inside we'll never get,
For old Peter there will tell us,
''We've no railroad men here yet.''
The Price of Peanuts.
There ought to be a peanut trust,
or some other way of raising the price
of the toothsome little ifruit--we be
lieve a peanut is a fruit and not a
veg'etable. Peanuts are entirely too
cheap, and all right thinking and
rightly built people would welcome a
rise.
Peanuts are always sold in five
cent packages. The amount given
for five cents varies, from a half pint
to a quart, but even a half pint is en
tirely too much. There is something
about peanuts that makes a man keep
on eating them as long as they are in
sight, even long after he has gotten
enough, and many a man has re
frained from buying a nickel's worth
of peanuts when he really wanted
them simply because the vendor gave
too many and the would-be purchaser
was afraid of the overplus. A man
doesn 't want more than about two
table spoonsfull of peanuts at one
time.
A nickel is the smallest coinl we
have in general use, and if the deal
ers were to put up one-cent packages
or two cent packages they would pro
bably not increase their sales, be
cause few people carry coppers. They
would not have the copper' ready
when they wanted to buy a few pea
nuts, and they would not want to
take coppers in change.
The whole trouble is that the deal
ers are selling peanuts too cheap.
The nickel package will always be
most popular, and at present one gets
too many peanuts for a nickel.
If the dealers will get together and
form a trust and boost prices, and re
duce the quantity of peanuts given
for a nickel by one-half or three
fourths, they will increase their sales,
make more money, and at the same
time confer a lasting benefit on man
kind, most of whom like peanuts.
