Stuckey of Bishopville,: candidal for governor, has issued the 1 following\tatement on the compos!-: tion of boards of exemption in this state: f "The position of the reform party of South Carolina was clearly set forth in a set of resolutions passed; in mass meeting held in Columbia onj May 14, and reiterated in a written1 statement handed to General Crow-| der by Cole L. Blease, chairman of: committee, in Washington on Tues-j dav last, which Dosition is that the' law with reference to registration and j exemption boards should be executed in South Carolina as in other states?1j. that is, that the normal boards should D be composed of the sheriffs, the t clerks of court and county physicians,! v iiien v.Lj have been elected by their ; people and hold their confidence.' ^ oiiuuiu luid, iu OJJ.J crcui, t/e iuuuu impractical, that the minority, which' j we think really constitutes in this i r case a majority, should have repre-' , 3 J sentation on these boards. Only in ^ rare cases has the minority any (^ representation whatever on these ex-! emption boards. "The reform party is made up ^of; c loyal and patriotic citizens, and any j discrimination against them is unjust j ? and founded on no grounds of reason j i or wisdom. No less a statesman than j4 John C. Calhoun said that minority ] * representation should always const!- ' tute a fundamental principle of just. and wise government."

The j t boy or girl who succeeds first will re- I , ceive a quarter." j c That did it. Instantly every eye j < was fixed on him. j i First of all, the old gentleman lay | down on the platform. Then one man : fame forward and tried in vain to lift { 1 him. Two others came to his aid,; I and between them they raised the i squire, who was rather portly. j f. The actions were meant to repre- 1 sent the motto "Union is strength." * When they had finished, the squire e stepped forward and asked if any < child had solved the puzzle. ?
