In connectior witth the insurance question it migh be well, he said, to ca^l attention t( what had been done through the StaN sinking fund commission. ? "About fi.teen years ago there wai enacted a law, known as the DeBruh law, authorizing the State Sinkin* k fund commission to carry forty-fiv< percent, of t'he insurance on Stai< buildings, and providing that when < H prvilt 1>1 l?U UUUUl^U LUUUOUUU UV1 lars was accumulate that this department of the government should carrj this insurance for the State free o I charge. At the last -.session of th< ^ legislature there was a bill introducB ?d to provide that the activities of this department should be extended tc carrying rorty-vve per ceni. 01 m< insurance on public school building* ^ in the State, and enlarging the profll fund to one million dollars. Mr. Davie W H. Heans, clerk of the Sinking Fund commission, appeared -before the fln t?ance committee of the Senate and explained the operations of this department, and from him the following interesting facts were obtained: "During the lo years of operation o the insurance law there were premiums received amounting to two. hun^ dred and twenty thousand dollars only twenty housand dollars, of twc o- wnicn were paia out ior nve losses J0 leaving a clear profit on a business ^ o two hundred thousand dollars. In other words for every ollar paid in 9C cents remained as profit and ten cents | was paid out for losses. This was ' very interesting information to the finance committee of the senate, and indicates the possibi ities of an ecc"^ omical management o: insurance affairs in the State, which would be m well for thoughtful men to consider. "In discussing the securities offer r ed through the State warehouse system, with ftie governor of the Federal reserve board in Richmond, he stated that one of the difficulties of that H office had been the carelessness and lack of system which had been com mon amen? warehousemen in the South, and he .was unstinted in hi? praise o the remarkable ;vork donr by Warehouse Commissioner MeLaurin in providing a thoroughly sntfsfacV Tory negotiable receipt protected a' Kp rule adopted by the? board ?bcv.* a p^r Dominick for /of for Solicitor rhose Who Hops He Will mal Race--- Will Be in and Meet the People.

"While we were in New York we ^ were invited to dine with Mr. Theo^ dore H. Price, editor of Commerce t and Finance, and Dr. Lawrence Ab bott, edifor of Outlook. This gave us a fine opportunity of ascertaining through these notable magazine editors the attitude of this country tc Mr. Wilson's administration, and we were very much gratified to find that, one being a Democrat and the othe; a Republican, they were united in his SllDDOrt. 1 "Having had the privilege and the - pleasure o' accompanying S<?nator Mc; Laurin -when on 'his first trip to meet f rhe leading financiers to establish the ? character of the Stat#* receipts, it was . very gratifying to me. tweJve months ; later, to be the receipient along with ) Senator McLaurin of the respefct and i attention of financiers and literary ; men on account of our being the ex rvnnpnfs nf this "adventure in Democ racy."'

As to your third question, I am not ' opposed to the county-to-county campaign. but favor it. i As to your second question, I am in favor of going before the people as heretofore, and expect to do so countyL io-county campaign or not, as no set i of political henchmen can bridle my tongue or prevent me i rom speaking to the people of South Carolina who wish to hear me. 1 am absolutely opposed to a newspaper campaign. Xcfw, as to your first question, as to I my idea in reference to tlie abolition, I c? the county-to-county campaign tnls year, I beg to say that my first idea is that it is a scheme'because some people are a raid to face their records in i a county-to-county campaign. My second idea is that it is an effort on , ihe part of certain newspapers to give 1 -V? , AnnAufnnift? tr\ nnKlicVt OnV , lilt in iue uppuuuun.i iu [/UUIIOH U.HJ kind of a lie and then re.'use to puib> iish the correction when the demand i is made on them as has been frequently done. I presume that I wftild "have less to lose by abolishing the Stat* campaign than any other man personally because I am thoroughly known throughout the State of -South Carolina, even to the children; every body knows me and know what I sta'id for in politic-;. Therefore, it would not be necessary for me to go around over the Staie staring my position on public questions, but it would be very unjust to the unknown men I in Dolitics. not only in this campaign. but in all others, to deprive them of: the privilege o meeting the people , ' face to face it would certainly be manifestly unfair to the people of the State to attempt to deprive them of ,he privilege of seeing the candidates ' Are* trv fare* nf intfe-insr what manner of men they are and of hearing them express their views personally. The old crowd who used to control South Carolina would meet in their county seats, fix up a little slate, go into a convention and fore e it down the throats of the people, whether they wanted it or not, and, if the people protested, they would be told, "if you don't support this ticket the nigger is liable to come in.-> Then, the State crowd would meet in Columbia at the, i Columbia 'Clu'b, iake a few drinks o: mean liquor, light up cigars and fix up a slate for all State offices; .go into a self-packed convention and nominate it (their ticket) and force the white people of the State to support them. This was broken up in 1S90, and every J white man in the State, poor or rich, j was given the same privilege to say , who should hold these public offices. ' This lias worked remarkably well and svr- 'ssfuily ana the only reason they "an give for changing the plan is to :.\w- To cortaiii- would-be bosses the ' to r: *n. the officers. thereby depriving .,th? people <> that important >tm] 'ra-'i nrivitesre. i do not believe | tlie peop'e. as a wlu :e. wi-h this done, J Uease Gives 'm m r? ? rare campaign lakes No Difference tc s People Should Have rlntes nnil C!nn<Jidates rtunity to Be Heard. 1 and they should go to their club meet ings and elect only as delegates mei who favor a free and open discussioi of air political questions and allowing . ?11 n-Viit/-. tvi An t no nrivi'loco nf j an uuc 111 v. 11 tiav v*. 7'>v**?r in the primary 1T0 abolish the coun ty-to-county campaign means the de struction of the primary and the re turn to the rule of the old time oli garchy or so-called aristocrats.

We are all the time giving to others either wholesome or unwholesome moods?poisoning thei* atmosphere with doubt and suspicion, or clearing it with hope.ulness and good cheer." And that is true. JTihe all-wise creator has placed something wj*hin each one that tells him wnetner he has done the right or not. And whenever that voice ceases t.o speak you had better take heed. There is something wrong. It does not matter :o much what other people say about to:;, or even think about you. butj.what can you say about yourself and what* do you think about yourself when no one is arcund and you are all alone communing with your own soul. James A. Garfield said once. "it doesni matter mueh what other people think of me, but it matters tremendously what James A. Garfield thinks of me.'And George Washington?you have no doubt heard of him?gave a very excellent recipe for worry about what people were saying and thinking about you when he said: "If anyone speats evil o. you, so live that no offe will believe him.'* Think or these things. . ^ They are worth your while to think /' about.
