The meeting was characterized by a very small attendance and very little interest or enthusiasm, and also by some very good speeches which went simply and plainly to the point on matters which are of interest without any hint of bitterness of factionalism. Only the candidates for the general assembly and probate judge made speeches, the others contenting themselves with more personal work. John R. Hart, E. W. Purslcy, E. Gettys Nunn, W. R. Bradford, J. W. Gettys and W. J. Cherry spoke in the order given, and the speeches generally referred to war conditions. patriotism and taxes. W. R.

Owing to conditions brought about during the several terms he has served in the general assembly, he is now the logical member for appointment as chairman of the important ways and means committee of the house of representatives if re-elected. He gave an account i of his work in the legislature during his several terms, and had only criticism to offer of the tax commission which he thinks used their appointment to boost ! taxes rather than equalize them.

The county campaign for Lancaster county opened Tuesday morning with a meeting at Belair, about nine miles from Fort Mill, and was attended by more than 100 men of Indian Land township and adjoining territory. D. O. Potts presided and introduced as the first speaker R. E. Wylit? of Lancaster, who addressed the audience on the subject of health conservation, pointing out in clear and forceful language the duties of each citizen in these times when physicians may become scarce and overworked, in personal 1: i i Cleanliness auu oruinary care and sanitation in his surroundings. The candidates for the house of representatives were led off by S. E. Bailes, a former member of the general assembly, who lives in Indian Land Township which is the pan handle of Lancaster county. Mr. Bailes is a clever speaker and rehearsed his acts as a legislator pointing to the physical benefits which had resulted in his home county from legislation introduced and put through by him. He was unalterably in favor of prohibition and woman's suffrage and concluded with a patriotic appeal to all citizens to do their whole duty, as he intended to do, by the nation in its time of need. He was followed by C. F. Clyburn who is a candidate for reelection, J. Roy Cunningham and J. H. Horton, each of whom had much to say as to the duties of the people at this time especially in the matter of pro duction and conservation of j food and the "support of the government in its requirement of men and means to win the war. The candidates for the senatorial toga are A. H. Hines, W. C. Hough and Dr. R. M. I Potts, the latter a newcomer in ; the field of politics. Mr. Hines devoted the greater part of his speech to a recitation of his accomplishments in former terms as a member of the house of representatives and to criticism of local legislation passed in former terms. The speech of W. C. Hough which was along lines of a high order of patriotism was well received throughout and he frequently received applause. There are no issues of moment but well equipped men of moderation and intelligence with a high sense of their duty should be elected to responsible positions. Dr. Potts stated l\is position and platform in well chosen words. The candidates for the office of probate judge are J. A. Stewman and Irvine Jackson; for county superintendent of education, V. A. Lingle and A. C. Rowell; for magistrate of Indian Land township D. K. Hall and C. Cook. Splinter's Letter.
