L FILBERT PICNIC | (Continued From Page o . i --? & gest a remedy fo: h law and or'"The richest lield in tho world for jSSaemagogic politicians is in the matter K)f taxation. 1 favor the taking over of the state tax com mi.-.? ion by the V comptroller general and an equalizaW tion cf taxes patterned on the savr ings of Jesus Christ, who was the greatest authority on taxation the wcrld ever knew." Detained by Illness William Coleman of Union, the fifih of Lhe gubernatorial candidates (to speak, said that he had been unable to make the entire campaign because of sciatica, which is "toothache in ihe lower limbs." M*\ Cole( man thought that the trouble with I' , South Carolina was that there had f beer too much factionalism and ring control in political affairs and that the present was the time for a housecleaning. He had his platform print p ed in pamphlet form and any voter might secure a copv by sending him a postal card request to his heme in Union. He said that it would make geed reading for the Lord's day and that it was a platform "full of prospects, prosperity and hope." f Laney Was Last ^ ^ T nr* ait r\ \ CCHiitUX VJ u I ^ U IV. yj i v.ivo teriuld was the last of the speakers seeking the gubernatorial chair. He made a clear-cut speech and was heard with close attention, receiving quire a bit of applause and a backet cf flowers when he concluded. He paid a tribute to the memory of the late Congressman D. E. Finley wh5m he said was unbeatable while he lived. He stood for economy and readjustment cf the tax burden and he wanted ."the State paper. to know that I am giving half of my time to it." .He stood for a fair deal "between capital and labor. He reviewed his I political experience as a member of k the house of representatives four B ' years and a member of the senate sixteen years. p "I am here to shoulder my part of the responsibility for the appropriation bill of the last general assemi biv," said Senator Lanev, "and I am here to tell you that it makes no difference who you elect your governor, the appropriation bill a year from now will be about where it stands now. The big items in that bill are for the maintenance of the asylum, common schools and Confederate | soldiers and no' candidate has said ' that he would take a single dollar from any of them." Candidate Laney said that he ha ' achieved much in a uusmess and political way by his own efforts. Not a dollar was appropriated for the common schools .when he first went to ; ^ the legislature, but now the common school system of the state will favorably compare with that of any other state and he thought that at least a part of the credit for school progress W was his, since "Laney has fought the r battle of the masses of school children for twenty years, t "The deflation period has about bankrupted you and r.ot the legislature," said Mr. Laney. "Look at ycur good roads / and .good schools and yet you pay only about 7 mills for state purposes. I stand for good schools an (J for progress and 1*11 go ^ dcwn into defeat standing for them. I'll not agree to a reduction of taxes fc-r the common schools under any consideration. H "If you should abolish every state B office,*' continued Mr. Laney, "the V reduction in your levy would be from g i-4 to 1-2 mill, which wouldn't I amount to the puff of a cigarette in an equatorial hail storm. i m no new convert to tax reform. I understand every department cf - this state government. If I am elected your governor I will be the friends and the governor of every class of industry?the friend of the Southern Power company las well res everybody else." Thanks for Rest The band played a selection after the candidates for governor had collie eluded and everybody was thankful for the diversion. E.rrh gubernatorial candidate ?poke twenty minutes, or two hours, in all and there was an |i interval of about ten minutes before the candidates for lieutenantgovernor presented their claims for suffrage. "* i 1* i x _ J* jl. c. jacKson, a canaiuaie lui lieutenant governor, rapped the last legV-lature for holding a Sunday session.. and declared if he was lieuten* ?nt governor he would adjourn the bcdy and not allow It to happen. He Wc.s a farmer and banker of Aiken county. Jennin^.- K. Owens of Marlboro, a car.aiaate ior lieutenant governor was born in York county, where his ^ father and mother had lived an< F died. He spent four years in York' ville?two years as a pupil in Bank'> high school and two years as a teacher. He served the Yorkville gradec oo! two y::irs a* hhitor while at-j tending the Banks school, he said, j I . i He was familiar with parliamentary law and he had if elected, "^ood, conscientious York county service.'* Dr. ('. E. L. Adams of Columbia, presented his claims for lieutenant jjo*. ernor. He had spoken at Filbert b. fore and was pleased to be back again. He had no puo'iic record to defend, having been an unsucces.5ful candidate for office on one other , occasion. Dinner Adjournment Adjournment was taken for dinner after the candidates for lieutenant governor had spoken and when the meeting was resumed, the six candidates for superintendent of education were heard. There was a large crowd of citizens gathered! ; close fo the stand for the afternoon: meeting, most of them curious to! hear the two women candidates. The afternoon crowd, however, was not' so large as that wich hearfl the can-! ; dilutes at the morning meeting. .J. H. j Hope of Union was the first up! air or. ? those seeking the office of su-l perinten'ient of education. Mr. Hopej 'said th-:t he had been connected with j the schools of Union county for 27 j years and believed he was the beet j : equipped man in the race. He said] that thei" was something wrong with | the educational system now since it was evident that the state department of education and the legislature were not working in harmony. u., l-nmv who was to blame. He spoke his opposition to the re-! cent adoption of new text books for j the schools of the state, saying, that! 'it was costly and unnecessary and) that there were many duplications.! I There were now two sets of alge-j ; bras, geometries and other books. If J :a child should have to move to an-! other school it would be necessary to buy a new set of bcoksif these at the j second school were different from 'the first. Superintendent Swearin-j gen had voted for the new adoption,: he said. Mr. Hope wanted to take high ' schools to the boys and girls in the country since 85 per cent of the boysj never saw the inside of a college. Hej was not opposed to colleges, but he; i did think that more high schools i should be provided. ; O. D. Seay of Richland county tcok occasion to say that the gathering was the largest the campaign party had addressed since the caniipaign opened. Mr. Seay recited his 'educational experience and told of ;h'i3 fitness for the office. He was ; formerly superintendent of education for Richland county. Seigier Says He's Competent C. H. Scigler of Aiken wanted the 'folks to know that he was as competent as any of the other candidates for state superintendent. He threw ja few pleasantries at the two women j j candidates whom he said were "rosesi among thorns," and who should be j 'left in the home garden. He was a| graduate of Clemson and he was formerly a farmer, who fri 1920 had in: vested all he had in boll weevils with-; . out return. I John E. Swearingen, superintend-j !ent of education, who is seeking re-i election, plea.ded with his hearers not] to slip back despite the boll weevil] end the ignorance of jonie folk- with! figures. He wanted the people to | know that the children of the state j had gotten all the benefits of eduea-i i tion the law allows. There was no f-r'ctior. between his department and the legislature and any intimation: ha: there was friction was nothing j but "an attempt to bamboozle ycu." He asked the question if the schools were not much better now than they used*to be. There had been no attempt to conceal from the public the adoption of new text books and. the State and the Xews and Courier had ouD'iSneu mo i;si some time .Mi*. Swearin<rcn r>lead< .1 for a seven months schoc! term for every white child in the state. Women Get Attention When Mrs. E. B. Wallace, the fir:t of the two women candidates for su\ ' pcrintendent of education, was introduced, attention appeared to become more concentrated and numbers of necks, especially those of women vcleis, were craned to <ret a Letter view of her. Mrs. Wallace told of he'- interest in education and of her w jrk in army camps in the states a::.' abroad. She was at present sr.peiv'-jr cf mill schools at G: at Fal; > and she wanted to be elected superintendent of education in or-Ifr that she rr.isrht be of greater . .service. Replying co Mr. Seigler, rcl. ative to roses among thorns, she . paid it was a common custom to , pluck the roses ; n i leave the thorns. [ Rain Interru^.s. Mr". Drake ; Big drops of rain were falling l about the time Mrs. Bessie Rogers . Drake of Marlboro county began her ; speech, and she did not take her ! whole' time. She told of her assoeia tion with York county by reason of 5 the fact that she was a graduate of - Wir.'hrop college, and said that many I organizations of women had endorsi ? i led her candidacy. She wanted the. | voters to know that a woman was! I perfectly capable of managing the 1 I J c I j ofiice and cited Miss Annie Webb Bianton. who is superintendent of education of the state of Texas, who has under her direction educational | funds and institutions tutal'n^ sever; al tiinc!-. that of South Carolina. I Mrs. Drake would not ask further atI tention because of the rain. ruu? : rs,,f *-/ liici O 1 i, V/M v Others deprived of an opportunity of addressing the voters because of the rain were: J. C. Dozier of Rock [Hi!!, and W. Banks Dove of Colum| bia, candidates for secretary of j state; Harold Eubanks and D. M. j Winter of Richland and S. M.
