During the week issues foreign to , of J

There are 11 candidates for the of- wer
fire of eovernor as follows: Lowndes whi
J. Browning of Union county, John G. N
Clinkscalea of Spartanburg county, favi
Robert A. Cooper of Laurens county, any
John T. Duncan of Richland county, froi
W. C. Irby, Jr., of Laurens county, in i

county, John G. Richard* of Itersbaw the
county, Charles Carroll Of Barn- d?<
well, Charles A. Smith of_Florence an.
iint.v and Mendel L. Smith of iveriw
county.
Lowndes J. Browning has two prin>al
j)lanks on which he bases his
peal for votes. Tie is opposed to the
ssent personal property tax of South
relina on the grounds of its inadeacv
and inefficient results and
uld substitute in lieu thereof a tax
inheritance ar.d incomes, sitnilar
the federal income tax law. lie ares
that under the laws of the per
ml property tax a poor man with
able assets pays taxes on all of
mi while the capitalists with stocks
d bonds pays taxes on only such
rt of them as he pleases.
Hie other plank is that of rural
>dits, by which he plans to help
lants to become owners of their
ins and Jiomes. He advocates that
? state lend these men from $1,000
$2,000 en long time, say 20 years,
a low rate of Interest lust sufficient
bear the actual cost of the loan, as
is landowners and producers and
t profits that the state wants." To
Mire the money for these loans the
te could float coupon bonds.
Mr. Browning Is against the abuse

Fohr. G. Clinkseales is the sole adeate
among the candidates for a

? main issues in the campaign. He

Ir. Cllnkscales Is also strongly In
Dr of the enforcement of law and
thing that will "redeem the state
n being a laughing stock." He is
favor of putting stripes on "pistol
>rs" and "blind tiger men," and Is j
inrt the abuse or excessive use of
liAfdoning power. He Is a strong
rtidff of the value of the press as
educational agent
j rieultural advancement of \.ne state
He is in favor of placing in each coun'
ty a farm demonstration school under
the supervision of Clemson Colj
lege, which shall educate the farmers
' and show them the ways and means
of scientific farming. Another purpose
I of such schools, as outlined by Mr.
I Cooper, is t^at they would advise the
| farmer and prepare him in the prac|
ticallv inevtitable invasion of the boll
weevil, which scientists state will
reach South Carolina in five years.
'South Carolinians," says Mr. Cooper,
"are essentially an agricultural
peple and we must put forth every
effort to conserve and protect these
resources."
Mr. Cooper states that he will hold
the oath of his office inviolate and
that he will let the verdicts of juries
stand unless it can be shown to him
beyond doubt that it would promote
justice by use of clemency. He states
that he will not interfere in local
government unless there has been an
Infraction of the law. Mr. CoopeT i3
[ in favor of local option compulsory
education on the ground that the state
j is not prepared for a state-wide law.
John T. Duncan talks of a "system"
-unning the politics of the state. He
says that in each of the IS judicial
rliutnVte thpre is a hoSS. who Works
| out the schemes of the "big boss,"
end that in each county there is a
boss with a dual organization. In other
words, that the factional feeling in
South Carolina Is superficial.
W. I. Irby, Jr.. day in and day out
denounces the "evil influences of the
cotton mill merger," and the northern
capitalists who control it. He states
| that the cotton mills are in a conspirI
acy against the mill people.

cates is "cheap money" for the people
of the state for the purpose of
owning their homes and farms. He
argues that the continual exodus of
white farmers from the country to
the towns of the state Is the basic
cause of the present high cost of living.
because this movement decreases
the production and increases the demand.
He states that the competition
of negro landowners will in time
cause the farmers of the state to
leave South Carolina.
Mr. Irby advocates the appointment
of a corporoation commission,
composed of four officials of the state
government and a representative of
the mill workers, who shall have
charge of all affairs pertaining to the
mill and the regulation of wages.
Richard I Manning Is a strong advocate
of law enforcement and each
day becomes more emphatic in his deniinrintinn
of the abuse of the nar
doning power. He states that if elected
governor he will see that the laws
are obeyed and that the present disregard
of laws will be wiped out so that
the fair name of the state can be reclaimed.
"I serve notice." repeats Mr. Manning
at almost every meeting, "that

need not apply to me for a pardon.
Mr. Manning favors local option
compulsory education, giving to each
county the right to vote whether it
wishes to adopt the plan or not. He
is for better salaries to teachers, a
larger number of teachers for the
public schools, longer terms and medical
inspection of pupils under the direction
of the state board of education
in co-operation with the state
board of health. On the liquor question,
Mr. Manning is an advocate of
local option.

THE RAGE IN THE

THE PAGELANI) INCIDENT
Mr. Stevenson and Rev. .T. W. Quick
Explain the Incident and What
Led to It.
On the night of July 14, 1014 at
Pageland, S. C., the candidates for
Congress, W. F. Stevenson and D. E.
Finley spoke. Mr. Stevenson opened
and Mr. Finley closed and Mr. Stevenson
exercised the right, assumed by
Mr. 'Finley at Chesterfield, of replying.
When he did so Mr. Finley
replied to him and as he turned to
sit down he said to Mr. Stevenson,
"You can't throw offff on me." Mr.
Stevenson said, "How." He had not
made any personal remarks to Mr.
Finley and only replied to what he
said appeared to be an insinuation
made by Mr. Finley and had corrected
Mr. Finley in reply to questions
addressed to him by Mr. Finley. When
Finley replied, "I will just hurt you."
Mr. Stevenson said, "Hurt me, old
man, hurt me?"
The chairman had announced the
meeting adjourned and as Mr. Stevenson
turned to pick up his papers Mr.

Finley hit him behind the right ear.
After Mr. Stevenson recovered from
thelick he approached Mr. Finley and
appeared about to engage in the difficulty
but he was pulled off the stand
by T. W. Belk, stated to him that he
wanted to prevent any difficulty.
The incident was intirely unexpected
and without any apparent
cause as the debate was being conducted
along parlimentary lines and
the apparent heat of Mr. Finley was
I not understood by Mr. Stevenson
apparently or by the audience.

To the best of my knowledge the
above is a correct statement but I
I don't know what Mr. Stevenson was
