In announcing my candidacy for Superintendent of Educatidn for Chesterfield county, I feel that I am no Btranger to the public school system of South Carolina. I have advocated and lent my co-operation to all changes that looked to the betterment of the free public school system. I claim that I have been identified with the forward movement for better schools. I feel that I am no stranger to what should be done in the school room, as I have taught seven years in the public schools of South Carolina. Having taken one year's teachers training course in the University of South Carolina, I feel that I ought to be able to develop and enlarge the public schools for Chesterfield county. I helped to make it possible for your schools to get State aid. I was a promoter and supporter of State aid fqr thft romm^^yhoolB of the State. Ignorance is S^p-eposeful bliss into which any liberty loving people sink Just prior to the loss of democracy. In all the positions of trust I have held, whether county 01; state, 1 have endeavored to serve in such a manner as would bring honor and dignity ! to the people I served. In such service I tried to be democratic throughout. i I believe in the democracy of the people?it inspires high and noble purposes in social , civil and christian brotherhood of man; it causes j right to triumph over wrong and pre. scribes a remedy against the wrong nf /\no'e fnlnW-mon k i taniiviib ui uitv e *v?v ?

POUTICAUETTER ! Something About Solicitor Spears' Official Record as Seen by a Life-Long Friend. Wbile Magistrate at Darlington Mr. Spears studied law, and was admitted to the Bar in the spring of 1898 He soon showed unusual ability <aa a lawyer, and built up a large practice. Recognizing his ability as a lawyer, the late J. J. Ward, then a leading lawyer of Darlington, took Mr. Spears into partnership with him, which firm continued until Mr. Ward's death. After Mr. Ward's death, Mr Spears formed other co-partnerships with younger lawyers, and his firm has always taken a leading position at the Darlington Bar. Mr. Spears has al-' ways exhibited an especial fitness for criminal practice, and, at the time of his appointment as Solicitor, was in nearly every criminal case of any importance in his home county, and was frequently called to other counties, both to prosecute and to defend, in criminift cases. Not only is Mr. Spears eminently qualified for the office of Solicitor on - ? - U111A-. v..a U account or nis legai auimy, uut ue 10 also entitled to the kindly consideration of the people of his Circuit by reason of his integrity and humanity. Anyone wishing to know how Mr. Spears stands In his home county In the business world can refer to any bank or merchant in the county of Darlington. His generosity is often a topic of conversation, for it Is known that he never turns a deaf ear to anyone in distress. He is liberal and sympathetic to a very unusual degree. There Is no better way to judge of a man's character and fitness for office than by the opinion of the people who know him best If this rule is followed with reference to Mr. Spears' candidacy for Solicitor, and the voters of the other counties of this Circuit are willing to Judge Mr. Spears by this standard, then it is certain that be will be re-elected by an overwhelming majority, for it is safe to sav that opposition to iiimi in this county will be so small 33 io be hardly worthy of notice; it w'll be confined almost exclusively to to -i few people who l.ave made a personal matter out of cases which Mr. Spu s prosecuted fearless'y, knowing at the time that to do his duty would mean the personal uniioos ity of som* one connected with the ej.se. Mr. Spears was paid a very high compliment by the grand Juries of Darlington and Dillon counties at the Courts which have just aijourned, each of said juries going on record as highly endorsing the expedient and beneficial manner in which he has served the people as Solicitor. But these endorsements are not new things to the people of his Circuit, as, almost without exception, since he has been Solicitor, every grand jury in every county has highly complimented his efficient manner of handling the business of the Courts. Coming as it does, however, in a campaign year, when he has opposition for re-election, such endorsement is especially to be no ticed. in a recent interview Mr. Spears said: "I stand for re-election on my record. If the people of my Circuit think that I have faithfully performed the duties of the office .0 which they elected me, I want their support and believe that I will have the support of the majority of the voters in my Circuit who think so. Court records In every county will show that since I have been Solicitor a higher percentage of convictions has been had than during the tenure in office of any of my predecessors; and I have faithfully endeavored in every instance to save the people money as well as to uphold th ends of jusetice. Court expenses usually amount to a very considorahlx* cum ?r?*i ??--* * ...v.v uiiu iue saving oi even one day in each term of Court means the caving of heavy expense to the tax payers. I appreciate the recent action of the grand juries of Dillon and Darlington counties. The fact that both the grand Jury and the Democratic County Convention of my county have endorsed my candidacy for re-election sends me out into the rest of my Circuit with the full endorsement of my home peope, which is an honor any man may well be proud of." Mr. Spears' record as Solicitor of the Fourth Circuit has been an exceptional * ' I one in many respects. Five years ago' he was appointed to All out the unexpired term of the late lamented J. Monroe Johnson?a man known far and wide as one of the ablest, most fearless and most successful prosecuting attorneys the State haa ever had. At the time of Mr. Johnson's death it waB a subject of general comment that no man could be found in the Fourth Circuit to take his place and All it with equal ability; but It. was Mr. Johnson's oft repeated request that Mr. Spears should be his successor. That Mr. Spears was wonderfully successful in carrying on the work of this office under such circumstances is a signal tribute to his ability, and has been attested by the, fact that he was elected without opposition after Ailing out the enexpired term for which he was appointed. When he entered office he found the business of the different Courts badly congested, due to the inArmity of Mr. Johnson's latter days, and immediately set about winding up all the old cases of long standing. He has had a lesser number of discontinued cases than his predecessor, and in nearly every instance where cases were discontinued costs were collected, thereby saving the counties expense. Mr. Spears has always fet it to be the wisest course when there were grave doubts as to the guilt of parties indicted, or when the lack of proof rendered conviction practically Impossible, to discontinue such cases on terms, that is to say, upon the payment by the defendants t\9 oil onolo o r* r? fronnonHu ni nnn_ siderable sums by way of fines, rather than to go on and try them In the face of probable acquittal and at great coat to the people. And in this connection it may be stated that the records show that since Mr. Spears has been Solicitor the Criminal Courts of this Circuit have always Ijeen made to bear their own expenses, and many times to put money into the County Treasury?a 6tate of affair hitherto unknown in this or any other circuit in the State. This fact, coupled with the fact that he has secured an even higher percentage of convictions than did his predecessor, certainly and undeniably gives bim a record that is enviable. And another fact of importance is that so many of the parties brought before the Courts of this Circuit have learned to plead guilty, when they are guilty, thereby saving the time of the Court, and recognizing that the Solicitor will ask for only such sentences as seem fair and just to both the State and the individual. ! 1 For soreness of the muscles, whether induced by violent exercise or in Jury, there is nothing better than IChamb.jrlaln's liniment This excel jlent lin!. neat also reUevo* rheumatic ! pains.
