CANDIDATE IF PEOPLE
BEQUEST IT
^ JWcLaurin Will be Candidate for
Governor? *>"ee<l of a Moral
Awakening in Business World.'Hartsville,
Nov. IS.?According to
a letter received by Evangelist B. F.
McLendon, of this place, Senator John
L. McLaurin, of Bennettsville, will be
a candidate for governor if the people
wish it. The following was sent
to The Record today:
Enclosed please find letter to me
from Senator John L. McLaurin, which
1 think will be of public interest, just
at this time and for tCiat reason request
that you publish same.
From my knowledge of Mr. McLaurin's
character, and in view of our
intimate relations. 1 am perfectly satisfied
that he will not object to my
action in thus making his letter public.
It is very gratifying to me to receive
this letter. For many men with whom
I come in contact express the desire
that ne maKe me iiwl year. .ucu
of his type and ability are needed in
public affairs and I am certain that he
will measure up to the 'high conception
his friends have of him if elected.
The most striking thing in this letter
of Mr. McLaurin's is his reference
to the need of a " moral awakening in
the political world," and the appeal
io the mind and consciences of men.
Respectfully,
B. F. MVLendon.
Senator McLaurin's letter follows:
My Dear Baxter: Both of your letters
received. I briefly acknowledge

at length to number two. I know that
you were surprised at the statement I
made about retiring from politics, but \
you must remember that I had not
said I would be a candidate for office,
only that I was willing to respond to
a call from tine people. I believe that
I could be of some service to this
State in connection with a State warek
- it- -
( louse system, reiunciing tne auiu;
debt, preventing a threatened split in
j our white people. These are the mo\
tives that impelled me to make so
many speeches, and to attend a conference,
not for the purpose of selecting
a governor, but to control the next
democratic State convention, and prevent
the constitutional restriction designed
to subjutate the negro in the
general election, being used in the
primary to disfranchise white men and
pjlace them on the same political basis
as the negro. Your life work calls
you into close contact with out factory
and agricultural population. It
is a grand work, and I am sure you
will agree with me that all classes
of society need a higher conception
of the rights and duties of citizenship.
Your influence.and example sways
the course and influences the minds of
thousands of people in this State. I
state to you the deliberate opinion
that factionalism cannot be safely
pushed to greater extremes. Las:
year we came near a split, and if the

A Double Wedding.
Batesburg, Nov. 15.?Wednesday afternoon
at 3.30 o'clock the home of
Mrs. W. T. Tarrant of this qlate was

Bates and Dr. Robert Lathan Spencer

' in matrimony. At the appointed hour

of the briefs, presided. To the
first strains of the march the doors of
the parlor were thrown open and the
little ribbon girls, Marie Rawl and
Thelma Bates, took their places at the

Carolyn Tarrant passed in and
through the parlor to the sides of the
altar, bearing the ribbon. Following
the ribbon girls came the ushers,
Tom Spencer and W. T Tarrant, who
