COUNTY CAMPAIGN
OPENED TUESDAY
CROWD NOT USUAL LARGE
YOUNG'S GROVE GATHERING
Candidates for Legislature Given
Fine Attention as They Present
Claims for Consideration
The opening meeting of th.2 county
campaign was held at Young Grove
on Tuesday. Just one month will
elapse before the next meeting which
will be held at Keitts Grove on the
1 1 4-V, n-P A iin-net onn tVii^rs iVif> DrOL'eCS
X X i,ll U1 nu? K uau vi.v. c
sion will march'right on to the Winding
up day at Newberry. The opening
meeting was held as early as it
was in order that the entry of candidates
might be closed and as the
lists close at noon on the day before
the opening of the campaign it was
thought best for all concerned that
the time for filing pledges should
close and that every one who was a
candidate should know who were in
the race against him or for the same
position he was seeking. The list of
candidates was published in The Herald
and News on Tuesday.
There are only two offices to be
filled this year apart from the magistrates
for the various townships,
members of the legislature and probate
judge. No one is opposing
Judge Ewart and there are only seven
candidates for the three places to be
filled in the legislature. At Newberry
and Prosperity there seems to be
a rather lively race for magistrate,
at least there are a number of candidates
at each place.
Congressmn Dominick kindly of"
-l - xL ^
fered us a seat with mm 10 go to mt
meeting at Youngs Grove. We arrived
about ten-thirty and very soon
the speaking began. There was not
the usual large crowd which generally
assembles at this place for the political
meetings. This is rather an
historic place for meetings and the
political meetings have been held
here for many years, and there is always
a fine barbecue served and that
brings many people, and then this is
the only meeting in No. 9 township
and takes in a very large area not only
of territory but of white voting
population. There was a fairly good
crowd and they gave the best o? attention
to the speakers and as is al"
?J4-V. XT/->T-i-Vio-rvTT jiTjfJi
ways me catse wiui ^ v. * j
ences were generous to the speakers.
All of the candidates for the legislature
except Mr. Blease claim to be
farmers and most of them are real
dirt farmers. Mr. Watson savs that
his long experience in a country bank
which brought him in personal contact
with the farmer gave him a sympathetic
connection with the condition
of the farmer, and we understand
that Mr. Watson is a real f; mer
of the kind that is needed in
+>.1*0 cAiintrv at this time, that he is
CliiO VW?*.v
a chicken fancier and is giving special
attention to the raising of hogs
and cattle since he left the bank in
May, though he did not mention it in
his speech.
Chairman Wheeler in calling the
meeting to order directed the attention
of the people to the fact that all
who desired to vote in the primary
must have their names on the club
rolls, and that they had to write the
names themselves, and he urged all
those who were entiteld to vote to
? - - ?- -1-1? * anvrtll
see 10 it umi uicj tiiwn ?
they thought they would desire to
vote or not. And he called the attention
of the women to this especially
and urged them to enroll. He
emphasized the fact that a new enrolment
was required each year and
that those who were enrolled last
year would have to enroll again this
year, that new books had been pre^
pared, and then he told where the
|T books of enrolment for that section
W might be found.

(Mr. vv neeier niftKyis a ?n\<
graceful presiding officer and does
not take up the time of the speakers
by making a speech each time he
presents a speaker. Each of the can[
didates for the legislature was allow|
ed fifteen minutes and there being
only one office to be filled this year
I where speeches are expected, and only
seven candidates, all the speeches
k were concluded before the dinner
r hour.
Mr. Eugene S. Blease was the first
| speaker. He said that in a way he
' was glad that he was the first speaker
i in this campaign. He felt and knew j
' that this would be a pleasant a.Kl!
agreeable campaign and he hoped and
knew that all of the candidates would
come out of it even better friends
i than when they entered, because they I
IV\ UU1U V. U1JIC IU HIIU >< - - ~ j
ter. And in this way he hoped and j
j believed they would become even bet- j
i ter friends than they were now. Mr. j
Biease said that he had the honor of I
i being elected last year when it be- J
[came the duty to elect some one to J
fill the unexpired term of the late j
j lamented Geo. S. Mower, and that it j
was the first time the women had ;
been permitted to vote and he was
proud of the fact that he had been
so elected by. in part at least, the j
votes of the women. Ke then re- i
viewed the methods of legislation and
explained the different departments'
j of government and toM the process- (
! es through which a 1 ill had to go
before it became a law and explained
the work of committees. He said he i
favored a proper Maintenance of the ' '
institutions of the state and he fav- j
ored adequate support of the com- j
mon schools and modestly referred i
to the part he took in saving the ap- J
I trw + ll a r>nTV>TY)On SfllOOlS. I
IUi vui lativu 1 vi vuv v..
He favored the building: of good i
roads but also was in favor of good
business economy in the expenditure '
of the public funds just as a good <
sound business man would handle his ..
own business. ;
Mr. W. B. Boinest was the next',
sueaker and briefly told his platform. '
He said he was no speaker but that ]

j ins? one of them himsell? and would ^
advocate and vote for the mainte- J
nance of good schools in the rural, I
J districts and if elected would always '
i be in his place when the roll was j
j called.
j Mr. H. H. Evans was the third I
I cpeaker. He said he was a farmer j
j and his sympathy was. with the far- (
j mer, though just now he was a:
j "busted" farmer, and unfortunately '
j many more were mighty near in the (
j same fix and there should be some (
i relief and he thought there should be '
j cooperation on the part of the legis- (
. lature in the helping of the condition
; of the farmer and especially in the '
| reduction of the heavy tax burden '
under which we were laboring. He *
i complained that it often happened J
j when the house did a good thing or passed
a good law it was killed by *
the senate and cited some instances ,
in which this had happened during his 1
experience in the house. Mr. Evans 1
also took a whack at the state tax (
commission. \

j Dr. J. William Folk began his re- #J
' marks by quoting some poetry com- ]
; mendatory to woman and then paid *
himself a tribute to woman and said 1

duce a bill the first act of his when "
, he got to the legislature to prevent (
; the desecration of the Sabi'ath by '
holding sessions of the legislature on '
that day. He thought it was wrong '
. and he doubted if any law passed on
. the Sabbath would stand the test of
, the court if any or.is should raise that :
question. He thought taxes too high
and he wanted them reduced and
would work to that end. He cited
. to the fact that he was the author of
. the bill reducing the number of children
in a rural graded school from !
50 to 40 in order that the school '
I might receive rural graded school aid
; to the extent of $200. He thought
the plan of assessing property for
, taxation should be changed and he
favored having a board of assessors 1
for each school district to go out and .
make the assessment and that they j
' he paid $5.00 per day for not more
than four days. He-thought tjiis the
best plan to secure a fair and equit;
able equalization of the property and
instead of assessing a $60 mule at
the same valuation as a $200 one he
would equalize the assessment and
>v>oi.-n +!ip hnrden of taxation

bear evenly on all property.
Dr. E. X. Kibler was at home and
'.took up hi? time in a pleasant rela-'
' tion of personal incidents and in ref:
erences to local history to the amuse- i
ment of the crowd and closed by
1 saying that he was in favor of re1
/im-ino- taxes and made a plea for co
operation and for compatibility. !

in the lockup Thursday a man giving
his name as W. H. Moroe of
Greenwood, charged with obtaining
money under false pretenses. The
man had been here a couple of days,
sleeping at the heme of Mrs. Daisy
Mullinax.a widow, and her children
in the Oakland mill village. He was
taking up a collection, claiming that
it was for the benefit of the widow
; cd woman and fatherless children.
' Having turned over only a few dol'
lars to Mrs. Mullinax and preparing
j to leave town, his activities were
' found out by Chief McCarley, who
got busy to thwart the vile intentions
! of the visiting and scheming strang!
er. Following the clue the chief
found that the man was intending to
board the Cannon Ball train Thursday
morning. His sudden departure
was delayed by the prompt action of - .
