lie benefit all stock yards, cold i
storage plants, warehouses, re- I
frigerator and cattle cars.
Revival services will be begun

ones, and many of 1
them?and it needs them now.
They are to be employed on repair
work on naval aircraft: The
age limit of the naval reserve
force has been raised to forty
years, so that an opportunity is
offered many good men to join
the navy which wrfs denied them
before. The carpenters are to
be enrolled in the naval reserve
force for four years, but with 1
active service only for the duration
of the war.

principally hot and dry
weather. Practically every crop
is growing on larger acreage
this year than that planted last
year, indicating that the farmers
have been making strenuous
efforts to meet the heavy needs
of the allies and the increasing
demand at home for foodstuffs.

Few Heard Candidates.
The candidates for county
offices held their campaign meeting
here Thursday. 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.

was well received both at the
beginning and close of his
speech. 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.

Lancaster Cotnty Ptlitics.
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.
