supporter yf Coleman Livingston
Blease, the present governor of
South Carolina. During the major
portii>*i of his speeches he attacks
the personal and*public records of his
competitors.
John G. Richards Is a strong supporter
of the governor in the senatorial
race that is now being waged.
He is strongly opposed to the rules
of the Democratic party that were
passed at the last meeting of the smte
convention for the purpose of safeguarding
the primary. He stales that
these rules will disfranchise from
ir, oon to Ih.ono white Democrats of I
the state ?.nd that he foueht acainst j
the adoption of such rules in the Ker- i
shav.- tounty convention. Hp promises
a safe and constructive administra-1
tion.
Mr. Richards has been twitted by '
other candidates for his chancing at- j
tltrnle towards the liquor question. Tie i
says: "In the campaign of 1910 1 i
stood for stete-'vide prohibition. I am
still n prohobiti" -ist in practice and j
from principle but I believe in the j
rule of the p op!*. They have declared
for local option since 1910 and j
1 sbah. therefore, stand for county lo- j
cal option."
In the matter of education Mr. j
Richards is a stronc antagonist of ;
onlinnl n 1 fin H !1 II C O ill flnV
1 ujii}*ui^ui j r?. huv/i uv?vm?v...vv r .
form, stating that ii is "repulsive to ;
the Anglo-Saxon intelligence to be
forced into school by means of a war* j
rant." He upholds that compulsory i
education will militate against the I
white race of the state in favor of
the neero, and that in 20 years under ,
such a law that there would be more :
negroes than w&ite people qualified
to vote. He is very bitter in his de- j
nunciation of this campaign issue. j
Charles Carroll Sininis claims that j
the platforms and promises of the oth- !
er candidates are "angelic" and that |
he shall base his candidacy as a "hu- j
man being with the love of the labor- j
ing people ever uppermost in bis j
heart." He appeals for sympathy to- j
ward this great class of farmers, mill i
workers and wage earners.
Mr. Simms Is opposed to the primary
rules of the state Democratic
party, upholding that the recent con- j
vent ion treated the poor white man
with the same medicine given the
negroes in 1S7C. He denounces the
rules as "an attempt to steal the
right of suffrage from the illiterate
white men." He brings out the light
he made before t.ie courts on the
question whether a farmer could he
declared a bankrupt.
Charles A. Smith is the advocate of '
I'm n.g ! ? fore the legislature the matter
of submitting to the people in an
crti c . ti ;.'i of outlawing tlio
sale of intoxicants in the state. Mr.
Smith is at present lieutenant govern-;
I ! >Ms tip for inspection his
administration in that office.
Mr. Smith is also in favor of submitting
to the people of each county
tho nooction of cnniruilsorv school at
tendance. as well r.s any law that will
a fleet all people. In eaeli county lie
speaks of the per capita amount that
county expends In the furtherance of
education and asks tlie rhetorical j
question whether the people are will- j
ing to Increase their taxes for the sake ,
of making a state-wide law. lie ;
upholds also on this issue that South '
Carolina is not prepared to take care
of all its children in the mater of education
because of lack of ":-*cilities.
lie states that the percentage of illiteracy
is decreasing through other [
methods.
Mr. Smith is in favor of economy j
in the state administration and prom-1
ises a conservative government, in J
which he will see to it that the laws !
are enforced.
Mendel L. Smith, speaker of the;
house of representatives, has been ;
dubbed the "silver tongued orator" j
among the candidates for governor.
Day after day he bitterly denounces I
the lawlessness in the state and con- i
aeimis ine iuuim i iimiiiin- mitnun.; ?>i i
pardons. Hp assails t!)P arts and wiles
of crafty politicians, who "proinisp ip- i
lief to the poor man and who are the
last to hrin? relief or lighten the ,
burden of the poor man." and each
clay he delivers a phfllipc against the
"blatant demagogue"
"Wholesale, ill-considered pardons."
Mr. Smith says, "are the greatest 1
curse to the state because they tend ,
to tea rdown the judiciary, to do away j
wiili a wholesome foil/* of punishment |
and to turn the minds of people |
against the decisions of the juries."
Mr. Smith is in favor of local option
compulsory education. Tie stands
for full train crew legislation, for
protection of public health throuch
the state hoard of health and a tuberculosis
hospital and for good roads.
Mr. Smith is a strong defender of the
press.
In the race for lieutenant governor
among the quartette of candidates,
Andrew J. Ilethea of Richland county,
William M. Hamer of Dillon county.
James A. Hunter of Raniberg and R.
.Frank Keller of Lee county, there
has been a marked tendency of late
of heated controvrsy on the public
life of fellow candidates
Mr. Bethea claims that the four
years as private secretary to Governor
Ansel of South Carolina and his present
position as code commissioner
make him familiar with the various
departments and the parliamentary
rules of state government. Mr. Bethea
stands for the education of the people.
for law and order and for social
democracy. He l as been a farmer,
school teacher, state official, lawyer
and business man.
Mr. Hamer promises an efficient and
business-like administration, law and
order and education" and anything
else that will rive us better conditions
in South Carolina than we have
today."
Mr. Hunter holds up for inspection
bis record in the house of representatives
from Baniberr for the last two
terms. He is in favor of a primary,
in which every white man could vote
and vote only once?the purpose of
the new priyiarv rules. He advocates
Ihe prom dion of duration <and aerl
culture. nnerai supporr ior rural
schools, tho enforcement of law and
biennial sessions of the legislature.
Mr. Hunter looks on the press as did
Thomas Jefferson.
Mr. K el ley tells of his election as a
member of the house and later as a
member of the state senate from I.re
county. He declares that South CV.ro
Una is now spending too much money
for higher education. He has taken
his opponent. Mr. Hunter, to task for
)' 's vote on questions that came up in
? ceneral assembly, all of which
Mr. Hunter has answered, preferring
counter charges, to which Mr. Kelley
has not hern gl en a chance to reply
cither because of absence or the rotation
of speecb.es.
The race between the two candidates
for adb'tant general. \\*. W.
Moore rf r> timen, incumbent, and
M. C. Willis of York county, flared up
/luring last week on account of aV
tacks and counter attacks, but has
now settled down to a sober disucsion
of atack and defense of the present
administration of Gen. Moore.
Gen. Moore upholds that the National
Guard is in better condition
than it has been for 20 years, while
("apt. Willis charges that 23 of the
companies have been declared below
the standard by officials. Items of
account in the report of Gen. Moore
are criticised and defended. Charges
of the loss of equipment have been
preferred by Capt. Willis and Gen.
Moore answers that subordinates arc
under bond end responsible for any
..t. A/.niit* ront Willis:
sruriiime IU<IL IIRIV IA I UI. \ ???*?..
declares that the- loss of the Angus',
encampment Is chargeable to Gen
Moore, who states that this matter
was in the hands of the governor.
The candidates for attorney general
are A. G. lirice of Chester and Thomas
H. Peoples of Barnwell, incumbent.
Mr. lirice criticises his opponct for
"inefficiency and inactivity" in oflicef
with more especial reference to the
attitude of Mr. Peoples in the disbarment
proceedings against C. P. Sims
o? Spartanburg before the supreme
court. For the office of attorney generalship
Mr. Price says that it is merely
a question of deciding on a man
who can dis barge the duties of the
office most efficiently and with the
greatest courage.
Mr. Peoples says that his record
during his two year* as attorney tenoral
is an open book. He claims that
there have been a greater percentage
of convictions for crimes during the
past four years than any time previous.
II" declares that he lias tried
to conduct liis office economically. He
asks for re-election, al>o, on the
grounds that he has held the office but
one term.
There are six candidates for railroad
commissioner, as follows: James
Pansier of York County. George \V.
Fa i rev of Calhoun county, ('. I). Conner
of Spartanburg. Frank W. Sln-aley
of Lexington county, John H.
Wharton of Laurens and W. I. Witherspoon
of York county.
The candidates for comptroller general
are A. W. Jones of Abbeville, incumbent,
and James A. Summersett of
Richland county. Mr. Jones has held
the office for the past 12 years and the
main plank of ?>Ir. Summersett's platform
is "rotation in office," as the true
Hemmmtic prineipie.
R. M. McCown of Florence county
is unopposed for reelection as secretary
of stale.
S. T. t'nrtpr or Uicniaiiu nmmv is
unopposed for re-election as state
superintendent of education.
E. J. Watson of Richland county is
unopposed for re-election as secretary
of the department of agriculture, commerce
and industries.

That is what you can do if you take I
i
bod son's Liver Tone. Many people j
know the danger of calomel, yet they i
take it because they know of nothing !
better. Other people are not afraid j '
of calomel, because they do not un- j !
derstand what a dangerous drug it is. I '
Hecau.se it has never hurt them, they J '
i believe it never will.
No one needs to take dangerous cal- ;
' oinel (which is just another form of j
i mercury.)
I
J. T. Ladd sells Dodson's Liver Tone j
j for lifty cents a bottle and gurantee '
that it takes the place of calomel. '
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant- '
tasting vegetable remedy that livens 1
up the liver without causing any re- '
strict ion of habit or diet. It has none
'of the many bod af'er-effects of calo- (
tnel and is safe for children as well s
I
as grown-ups.
You don't run a single risk when
