LOWNDES BROWNING FOR GOVERNORSHIP f CMOS MAX ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY. Would Bequire Kegistration ior moling in Primary?Tax and Seltool Reforms. I Columbia, Oct. 30.?Lowndes J. Browning of Sedalia, in Union county, announced yesterday that he would j be a candidate for governor of South Carolina in the democratic primary next summer. Mr. Browning .has been in public life in South Carolina for a number of .years, having served three terms in the house of representatives. He was chairman of the ways and means committee during the session of 1911-12. He was not a candidate for re-election to the house in 1913. Mr. Browning has been a farmer all his life and is at present presid-:nt of the Union county Farmers' union. He was president of the Union county fair association for two years, declining re-election. Platform Outlined. Mr. Browning issued yesterday the " "** nloffnpm IOUOWlIlg OULliiiC Wl mo ?/ich,waaa*. "I will be a candidate for governor in 1914 in the democratic primary. Summarized briefly, my platform is as follows: "First. Every white democrat should he allowed to vote, provided he will qualify himself to maintain the action of the democratic primary in the general e lecuou. .\u man iuuum be allowed to participate in the naming of a State and county ticket as a i democrat and then support some j other party in the general election for i president and vice president, as was j done in. 1912 by certain alleged mem- j l>ers of the progressive party. "Second. I believe in tne tnorougn ; reform of our financial system. If' properly regulated, the personal property tax can and should be eliminated. Under our present system, a citizen can not hide his household and kitchen furniture, his live stock if a farmer, his stock in goods if a merchant, but he can and very frequently does hide his personal property if it j Is principally invested in mortgages, j stocks, bonds and the like. This tax | .should be a tax on income and thus ! vr.ii will reach those most able to pay ! and those who receive the> greatest protection from government. "Third. I shall advocate a thorough reform of our school system. The constitutional school tax should be made a State fund instead of a county fund. Thus the richer countiss would aid the poorer counties, and all the children of our State would receive equal benefit. Each school district should, as at present, be allowed to supplement this ftata fund by local levies for their individual benefit. The State, however, should guarantee that each school should run a certain period and if the present constitutional school tax doss not raise sufficient revenue for this purpose, the State levy should be increased. ''Fourth. I believe in a thorough' reform and simplification of our judicial procedure, whereby justice may be obtained in a reasonable length of time, i am sure tnai uie present congestion of our dockets could be relieved, were there a commission of three, whose decisions would be final as regards all damage suits. This ?vould be hard oni a few lawyers, but it would benefit greatly the poor em ployes who bring such suits against corporations, provided the decisions of this commission be final. Enforce All Laws. "Fifth. I shall advocate the enforcement of all laws on the statute books. If they are good, the State will reap the. benefit. If they are bad, the necessity for tneir repeal will be more quickly realized." "Sixth. Some candidates profess to ignore the tact tnat two political tactions do exist within the democratic party of this State. With equal justice they could deny that the sun is the luminary of the day. 1 belong to that wing of the democratic party of this State which believes in a repre sentative form or government founded on the principles of our State and national constitutions, and am opposed to 'boss rule' as exemplified by Huerta in Mexico and various 'bosses' in this and other States. 1 am the candidate of no 'boss' nor any newspaper, but am asking for the office of governor on my record. 1 believe that the executive, legislative and judicial departments of our government arc supreme in their respective spheres. The authority of one should not be encroached upon by that of another. "There, are numerous minor reforms that I might mention, but this in brief outlines the principles upon which I J shall ask support of my party as a candidate for governor in the demo p crauc primary 111 The combined values of extracts and spices made in Columbia is approxi late'; ?:C-0,0C0 in the last 12 months.
