The principal address for the occasion was delivered by Hon. C. M. Efird. of Lexington. Mr. t,nrct is a mosi excellent speaker and his address was such t;'.:at everybody seemed to enjoy his striking words. Dr. J. A. Sligh, former pastor of t'.is church for 48 years was pres# ent and to the delight of his many friends he was able to stand before his old congregation orfce more and j utter a few words of advice. Though his voice was so weak he could be heard only by those nearest him, but while he attempted to speak the whole congregation listened with eagerness j to hear his forcible remarks. May God j "bless nim in his declining years in such a way that his last days on earth "may be but his best ever. 'Miss Annie McPhearson, of Lagoff. Who has been spending a few weeks as the guest of Miss Ethel Livingston, has gone to Newberry to spend a j while with friends before her return home.

Aug. 12th, 1914. | u j ir We see the dawn of the new day i when reason is to take the place of' ^ passion, when knowledge is to enable faith to arrive at correct conclusions. IThe professions and promises of / faithrless public servants no longer go . unchallenged. On every hand the demand is "You ^ must show me." aj I see the result of my labors. In 1910 I showed the farce oi proST hibition as an issue with an advocate ^ ^ liJo nrrtfoccirvrie wlli!#* i VtfLIU UCHCtCU lll& ?Ji serving the system, he being used to Qt a! sidetrack a candidate who practiced ^ what he preached. ' p{ All agreed that to let liquor alone as I did, was the better way. j0 All admitted that the tippler and the toper, with habits formed would at nevertheless join hands with us in { S? having taught in our public schools, p( tihe effect of alcohol on the human system and thus join with us in sav- ? ing tb^ rising generation. re Whatever else may . be done or at- ei tempted here is the road to a final p* settlement. ec "Compulsory education" should be w sidetracked by "A bill to assist" and st herein might be written every require- Fi ment necessary. Si The law is a dead letter that ~e- c* quires impossibilities. There are helpless parents who can ki neither clothe, .feed nor buy books for to their children, and tfae State must supply this need or compulsion would fo be a farce as it is today in Mexico. The Crazy Quilt platforms of the ai various candidates hardly deserve at- R tention, (for since the eliminators' con- pi vention the newspapers have ordered sa them to confine their discussions to liJ two issues, education and law enforce ment. a,\ 'Meekly the favored ones submit, ca while vainly the kickers talk tibeir vx pet hobbies to the winds. m Not a man among them but knows ra that Duncan's proposition to put a hi public service commisssion of the best tq experts to work out all matteis af leg- Je islation and reform, not a ma:i among j the candidates for governor but knows J fo that such a commission to study tfce ai needs of the times and to whom the st people can come with their needs D can far better serve all interest that m thrive in the light. th Light on dark places may jere be p* had. rs Though every corporation or secret tb interest may oppose, yet here is of- fo fered protection for the people. iC-orporations have for years been bi most ably and cunningly represented in all matters of legislation while t? the people have been without method D among tneir represeuxauves. The consequence is that today the H people are paying the penalty. pi When I uncover to you tte system, the agents of the system, their newsl si papers refuse to tell you of teh revlations. ai When I point out to you tfce special p< privileges they ahve taken unto o1 themselves j and the enormous graft- ti ing going on, these papers are as silent as the tomb. W Graft is reduced to a science oy me u cunning leaders of both, factions who v< understand each the otter and with a c*i "gentleman's agreem( ' they fool the d< people all the time. The masses, the rank and file of' n< both parties, are honest and earnest 11 but mislead as often on one side as c( the other, and while passion rules , it reason is cast o tee winds. I show to you the system in the c< United States having a representative bi in each State, a district boss in each ! judicial district, a county boss in each , tl county and two bosses in each club, J these two* pitted against each other ( ei to nlav both ends of the line but so 1 c( innocent as never to suspect that both J S: are handled by a man higher up. Then ! s* with the voters parceled out in blocks ! fc of five are led or driven without ever j a] suspecting the influences controling bi you. hi Imagine Gen. Bratton's surprise to si find Tillman backed up by Bratton's ) fi] sworn backer in the campaign o~ 1S90. ' c: \ \ -J \ T.e system then played both ends f ti/.e line. I showed on every stump in 1912 lat it differed little which was electd. .lones or Blease. for the boss held ie strings to both. I have shown it and proven it to the atisfaction of honest men and to the istress of crooks that among the ten len coaxed into the race against me )r governor, t e system ;'.::id its favrities in both factions. It prefers ny man of the ten. to Duncan, for is believed that any man can be andled easier than Duncan. Neither temptation nor punishment as seduced Duncan and today, he smains steadfast to his people, a lartyr for conscience sake. He bears his punishment and sor dws alone, nor. makes display for itv's sake. The cause of the people deserves better champion, but these feeble ands shall never ihang idly at my side -ile there is yet so muc'.i to be done i behalf of equal justice to'all men. On the first day of this campiagn pointed out the two end men, Mendel . Smith on the one side and John icliards on the other, each man havig long been in training utted to lay eituer end of the line. This pair of Camden twins were ivorites in the house of our master ad in 'higher circles. I hand but to mention "coatail vinging" when Richards grabbed the 30k and could never let go. Day by day he advertised himself 5 the best coattail swinger of the inch and he was laughed into fais )litcal grave. ' M. L. Smith the first choice then 'omed large on the horizon. I pointed him out as deserving most ; the hands of the boss, for having ived the old seminole chief iform the jnitentiary where he deserves to be. I showd too that Smith had aided :e exploiters in the:r attempt to ^surrect that asylum job with six or ght million dollars of graft in prosjct. His private explanations involvl him worse and worse. Then Irby ho fought the job on Duncan's inructions added some knockout blows. ' 1"* ? ? ^ A4- rimvi/lAn many pressing ami a.L ^ajuucii, nith was stripped of cover and deared against Blease. His record killed ihim and the party ssed him good bye and laid him i rest. Blease was caught lining up his rces for M. L. Smith acro?>s the line. At the burial of Smith, Mr. Blease id his first lieutenants dug up Mr. ichards, poured water in his tface,1 imped air into him, used smelling! ilts to revive him, but all still looks xe a dead man to me. Seeing that Duncan was running vay with the bunah the old boss beime alarmed with the prospect otf the )tes so evenly * divided between ten en as to let Duncan into the second ice and winning the second race, a isty call was made for fcbe eliminairs' convention to meet July 31 at the ifferson. The boss rushed a call by telegraph r July 25th and there with Cooper id Manning on hand, tihe self confuted eliminators knowing that uncan dared them to riam.3 their end en and the people would wipe clean e slate, and also dared any man to irmit himseif to be pulled out of the ice, thus admitting he had a boss, .ey decided to concentrate when they >una they could not eliminate. 'Manning was the favorite substitute it Cooper was used as a blind. On second thought they decided :at an other brush was needed and r. Clinkscales was used. Cooper is unconscious and happy, e doesn't know enough to be aprehensive. Manning is hopeful but, appreh -nve. Neither of the two is wise but botii re kicked enough to deny their purDse at that conference, and thit each i tb.em was personally in consultaon with the boss. BotJh softly denying the charge at finnsboro, I challenged them, to name ie man each was in close private con?rsation with, naming place and cirimstances, and this ttey refused to At Spartanburg I had a living witess of which I told them, and again challenged then, to deny the Clark >nsultatio!i and neither dared deny The eliminated do not love the con?nt .-ators nor their favorites and the inch of six all go down and out. The four Bleaseites fared worse at le ha mis of their leader. Blease caught delivering his follow*s to M. L. Smith and deserting his cattail swinger, when facing that mith declaration against him and ;eing he could not control his sincere llo-wers (though one of his lieutenits expressed his regret at Smith's reak and said he hoped Smith would ive continued to carry water on both loulders and let tliern elect him the rst t/ailot), realizing ie faced a itastrophe. 1 Clarke's E <1 T 1 JE call this our "S \ ft 4'Vnro!"\7 :t h I fr M * ' ' uuvi; ! gj enough to suit j P thf.sb. six hull qlari i i SET.00 0 EXPRESS frg I il ,T?.

This has been apparent as we e day arrived at a county seat. Each day as we left there was other tale to tell. In the "Middle of the Road" I ca a free lance and feel at home in ; crowd of my ifellow citizens. On a personal invitation I atten a night meeting at the Spartanb court house. They did me the honor to put me as first speaker and they gave me tentive hearing in an appeal to 1 son instead of passion and prejud I showed how they were dividec their own undoing and how the gi j of graft and politics was played | their expense by tfbe crocked bos j oif both parties.
