HEAR SPEECHES IN YORKVILLE CANDIDATES ADDRESS FAIR CROWD OF VOTERS. Personalities, Most of Them Pleasant, Brighten Up Political Talk-Au dience Undemonstrative. J. S. Reynolds in The State. Yorkville, July 1.-The campaign meeting here today was rather more lively than the previous ones have proved-personalities, most of them not acrimonious but amusing, did something to relieve the monotony of continued repetition. The audience to day, while fairly good, was rather un demonstrative, the efforts of the can didates eliciting little applause. Among the contestants for adjutant general, railroad commissioner and governor little tilts developed to add to the general gaiety. B. B. Evans continued his attacks. Among his statements w1as an allega tion that Judge Prince had told Evans that James Farnum's punishment had been heavier had the judge known the defendant was so wealthy a man. The candidates speak at Winnsboro tomorrow. The-meeting was opened with pray er by the Rev. I. G. Murray, pastor of the First Baptist church. W. B. Wil son, Jr., county chairman, -- 'led. Big Guns Last. Again the candidates for governor were put last, but the others were shifted, the aspirants for adjutant general opening. The first of these was Capt. J. M. Richardson, who outlined his business platform. .He would eliminate the of fce from politics, he said. He criticiz - ed. the s-election 6f!.the time for the encampment of the Aiken company. Lieut. Col. Chas. Newnham, the next speapker, promised that,, if elected ad Jutant general, he would see to it that there was more economical adminis tration than has been the ease. hereto fore. Col. W. W. Moore, next speaker, re plied to Capt. Richardson, who made a depreciatory remark about staff ap pointments. Col. Moore also answered Capt. Richardson's hint that Col. Moore, if elected, would select a Cita del cadet as his assistant. Col. Moore said he would not select any man ex cept a member of the militia.. He then tokup the question of pay and time of enlistment. He prQemised a careful accounting of militia property. For Railroad Commissioner. * . Jas. Cansler, of Tirzah, opened for railroad commissioner, with a good natural speech, teeming with person alities, especially about Cansler, and a less degree, about his "undergrowth," those who oppose .him. He - did not take up all his time turning the rem nant over to his "undergrowth.' 1.McDuffie HIampton then urged * ~ his claim 'to the office. He told of his -boyhood training u1nder Col, Asbury Coward. He promised faithful s- rvice .of elected. He argued that there should be a technical. expert on the commissian. He made & plain stat e ment of his qualifications for the office. G. Heyward Mahon, the next speak * er, asked for an ~impartial measure ment of the candidates, regardless of locality. He claimed to have been the * chairman cotton picker of Abbeville *when he was but a boy. He spoke bit terly of freight rate diiscrinfination against South Carolina. Authorities Neglectful. He claimed the railroad committee * and the legislature had failed to .do their duty. He denounced th:e killing of the five-mile break bill. He also criticised the mileage book system now used. Mr. Mahon became very vigorous in word and gesture as his speech progressed. Col. 0. C. Scarborough said he had fought hard for a reduction in' fertiliz er rates. That fight had ended, he * said, in securing a 5 per cent. reduc .tion. He took up some references to the Pee Dee snatching up the gage of -battle he replied, saying that his op ponents were shooting at the flagship -the leader-when they spoke of him. He, too, criticised'~ the railroad com mission, which, he said, had been con * sidered a joke. * E. W. Duvall opened for lieutenant governor. He spoke for ecnonmical administration. On the liquor ques tion he spoke for local option. * ~ C. A. Smith, who followed, also fa vored economy. He cited his record as teacher and business man. He has re cently been approached, he said, on the question of becoming president of one of the coll-eges. B. B. Evans, candidate for attorney general, resumed his attack on J. Fraser Lyon, alleging that Mr. Lyon has proved incompetent and has been derelict in his duty by making compro mises with liquor dealers. He said that the Chester cases were continued "by consent" of the attorney general. Mr. Lyon was not present. Opens for Governor. C. C. Featherstone, opening for gov ernor, claimed to beg~ farmer like the other "farmer" candidates. by proxy. stroingly. Ht said Ille siX 'Vt Colli ties could not dictate to the 3 dry counties. Local option on liquor, he said, is an unsound proposition. He denounced the sale of liquor. On financial matters Mr. Feather stone next touched. He wants econ omy. A raise in the assessments with biennial sessions of the legislature would prevent a deficit. F. H. Hyatt, the next speaker, while he said he was the thoroughbred pro '-hibitionist, wished liquor kept out of the campaign. He would have other issues stressed. He told of his work for the farmers-how he fought for good roads, assisted in forming tha Southern Cotton association, and en couraging diversification farms. "The sand-mud tax," te said, refer ring to poor roads, "is the heaviest in South Carolina." He urged good roads. Better Methods. Mr. Hyatt said better business methods were needed in State offices. While it would be a business sacrifice, Mr. Hyatt said, neverthe'Fss he wished to serve if the people want him. Thos. G. McLeod, the next speaker, opened with a plea for education both higher and intermediate. His vote on a tie in the senate, he said, passed the high school bill, giving aid to weak schools. Agricultural education, ha said, should be given in rural schools. Taxation, he said, is a difficult prob lem. Equalization of taxes aidd taxing of tax-dodgers are the best means- of remedy, he said. Though no advocate of whiskey drinking or of whickey selling, said Mr. McLeod, he favors local option. Mr. McLeod said he would grant few or many pardons, just as his consci ence dictated. John G. Richards, the next man beard, announced that he was in fav or of State-wide prohibition, although liquor is -not the most important issue of the campaign. He criticised one of Mr. Featherstotne's jokes as accusingi "our mothers" of being topers. He said he has been -elected to every office he ever asked for. He alone, he said, was a real far mer. Mr. Hyatt, he declared, did his farming on the fifth floor - of the sky scraper. Mr.~ Richards claimedl' credit for much.work iri the initerest of schools. He also said much of his services to the farmers. Equalization of taxation was anoth er of his planks. He urges liberal pensions for Confederate veterans. Cole L. Blease spoke next. He said b.e had waited two years .to deny a report that he was a liquor house can idate. This report he laid at the dor of Rev. J. L. Harley. More and better common schools is r. Blease's educational slogan. He pposes State-wide prohibition. He laims that he will go into the second ;rimary. John T, Duncan closed the meeting with his usual remarks. -The congressional candidat'es did ot speak. CONDITION OF COTTON CROP DETERIORATES (nly 8O.7 Per Cent.

Elliott, secretary of the American Automobile associa,tion, was discussing at a dinner in New ork the automobilist's well-knwn enthusiasm. "A friend of mine," he said, "visit ed recently the automobile ward of ta lunatic asylum. They have, you know, automobile wards now. "It was a large, airy room, and along the wall were ranged some two dozen cots; but of the inmates [not a~ trace was to be seen. "'But where are thae inmates?" my friend asked the physician. ''The inmates?' was the reply. 'Oh, they're all here. They're under the beds tiniring with the sprins." ANNOUNCEMENTS. House of Representatives.
