mmrnrn- \ \ ? - HAMPTON VOTERS HEAR CANDIDATES (By Staff Correspondent) Hampton, June 2S.?Candidates for state offices continued their drive for votes in Hampton county today, speaking here to between 200 and 300 voters. The campaign to educate the people to the fact that their tax burdensjire largely local in character was continued today by Thomas G. McLeod oi Bishopville, candidate for governor. Mr. McLeod showed the people by figures taken from the office of the comptroller general that 76 per cent of the taxes paid by Hampton is spent within Hampton county. He does no*, charge that there is local extravagance and doubts if there is any, but ht wishes the people to understand that there-fourths of the economy the} wish effected is a matter which the} and their legislative delegation mus' determine for themselves. Mr. Mc L/CUU U1BU ga?c oiauouLb uo IU tuv percentage of taxes as paid by the different classifications of property Farm lands and buildings last yeai paid approximately 30 per cent towi and city real estate and buildings, H per cent; cotton mills, 12 per cent; merchants, 10 per cent; and bank; about 3*? per cent. The last genera! assembly had attempted to reduce thU tax on real estate and personal property, and through the passage of meas ures calling fo ra state income tax, ; gasoline tax and a water power tax it had cut the state levy nearly hall in two. There must be tax reform and economy, Mr. McLeod says, but methods in effecting this economy must not be destructive. Will Be Few I'anions Mr. McLeod was emphatic in hiutterances relative to law enforcement and the issuing of pardons. There wil' be few pardons, Mr. McLeod said, if h* is elected governor. While there have been instances where there have been miscarriages of justice, these instances are rare indeed and he will not up set the verdicts of juries and the sentences of courts and thus break dowr the spirit of law enforcement. Cole L. Blease told the voters he had a law office well stocked with law books, a good home, did not owe an> man a dollar and was, therefore, no dependent on politics for his liveli hood. He would not have entered th< race for governor after his two term* if so many who never had supported him before had not written to him an< urged him to make the race. He had warned the people of th? state, he said, that if a certain crow< was elected to office eight years ag< they would bankrupt the state. Now some people are going to bed hungry He attributes all this to high appro priations and extravagance incident t( the creation of useless offices and jobt for unnecessary employees in the dit ferent departments. While he was governor the peoplhad also been told to get rid of llleusi and they would get rid of lawlessness in the state, he said, pointing out tha: during the last six years there hat been more murders and lawlessness ii South Carolina than any other stati in the union. Flowers which the poo pie had been told would strew thei' pathway If they would oust Blease were, he said, on the graves of thos? who had been killed. The former gov eronor said he believed in the enforcement of all laws but when justice i: miscarried the constitution imposes on the chief executive the duty to correct, and he proposed to do his duty Others before being elected governor said they would not pardon but somt of them after going into office, h< said, had issued more pardons in proportion than he did. He recalled the fact that the day R.*A. Cooper left office 18 pardons and paroles were granted. ? > Duncaii Versus Blouse John T. Duncan directed a considerable portion of his speech to Blease. The former governor, the speaker said "flaunted a long list of those to wlvm the state is paying your hard earned money. Didn't you have them when he was governor?" In handling th< truth, Mr. Duncan said the formei governor was like McLaughlin's mult which "is not blind, but just doesn't give a damn." George K. Laney of Chesterfield emphasized today that he was not the candidate of any organization or machine. He was just a plain man from the plain people, who for 20 years had fought the people's battles in the general assembly, he said. The trouble jn other campaigns to elect a governor wn<5 there was too much machine and organization. He wanted th< plain people of this tsate to be his machine. Mr. I.aney defended his vote in the state senate for the water pow< r tax when an effort was made last session to reduce the state levy by providing revenue from other sources, p.v t:i> the general assembly had cut the state levy nearly in half. While he had no apologies to make for his own vote for these measures, he would not impugn the motives of those senators who did not agree with him. They had reasons satisfactory to themselves "and I will not browbeat or impugn have the facts, if I never get to be the motives o fany man. unless I governor of South Carolina," the C'aesterfield candidate said. Mr. Laney made a strong plea f the neforcement of the laws of the state, and both Mr. Laney and Mr. McLeod received considerable applause. T. H. Gooding, candidate for con ptroller general, was at home today. Mr. Goofing said names were forged on affidavits which were presented to Governor Cooper, who refused to send the name of Mr. Gooding to the senate for confirmation as auditor of Hampton county. He characterized those who said he had done anything wrong ?ts character stealing liars. The meeting tomorrow will be in Beaufort. J. L. K. AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT Mac Tolson with Frank McPherson, Charlie Pegues and Jule Sanders were returning home from the ball game last night was struck by a car driven by a negro who was on the wrong side of the raod. Mr. Tolson's car was turned completely over down .*?? rtmhonlrniiint ontl hn urn a thPOWn out nn a pile of bricks beside the road, the others were under the car ] but did not suffer injury, Mr. Tolson being the only one of the occupants injured.

It is usually possible to get more ' profit from an acre of soy beans than ' from an acre of cowpeas and have more material to turn in for soil im- ' provement. Soy beans can be used by Southern 1 t cotton oil mills to supplement cottor seed and thereby lengthen the opera- ( ting season of the mills. A ton of soj " beans will make from 32 to 35 gallons " >f oil and 1650 pounds of meal. Thert 6 is a loss in the milling operations ol only about 120 pounds per ton. Sow bean meal contains 30 percent 1 more nitrogen than cotton seed mea' * and has a higher feeding value. Soybean oil has a wide range o! c usefulness in the manufacture of soap* 1 paints, varnishes, linoleums, oil cloth 3 etc. * The soy bean can be used in a way r to return good revenue and at th< same time be a soil-building crop soil improvement being the greatest underlying problem in the South. The above are some of the reasons why farmers should plant soy beans given in Extension Circular 35, "Soy Beans", just published by the Exten sion Service.

The locomotive still holds the right of way against all comers, and its motto is 1 'Don't tread on me." He who stops t before he crosses, will live to cross another day. The prudent man will take no chances of hearing the rustling of the death angel's garments on the crossing and shaking hands with death. Every year the grade crossing gamb- , lers send hundreds, besides themselves, "beyond the twilight's purple ' hills." There is fun enough in the thrill and throb of the automobile without playing tag with death, who j rides on the cowcatcher. Enact a law compelling drivers of automobiles and other vehicles to stop J before crossing a railroad; make the , penalty a fine of $."0 and grade cross j mg gamblers will go out of business. : Xepoleon said.

I III f ; I | WASHINGTON LETTER |j i 1 By WALLACE BASSFORD (Special News Correspondent) ...Washington, D. C., June 26.?"One of the most dangerous tendencies in our government is the evil growth of bureaucracy and of officialism, and this Ship Subsidy bill presents the most flagrant and arrogant instance of it ever devised." So said Judge Davis of Tennessee, who brings one of the finest judicial minds of the country to his service in the House of Representatives. And there are enough Republicans in the House who are willing to join hands with tne Democrats to defeat this vicious grab, but those who have seen how the thing is done are free to predict that before the bill comes to a vote the President will have bullied or cajoled enough meimbers of his own party into line to put through his pet mjeasure. 'A bonus for the ship-owners, but none for the soldiers," might well be inscribed on the President's shield, for that represents his attitude to a | 3ot. Daily the Wall Street Journal j boosts the one and knocks the other. Daily the President does the same. I He has rfhver been for the soldier's bonus and does not even make good work of concealing the fact. I quote some of the more pertinent paragraphs from Judge Davis' maserly arraignment of the Ship Subsidy pill: /\f tViA nrnvioiAne r\f tho Hill ifi V/HU Wi L 11V |>? \J ? lUiV/li O VTA VMV ?/? ? hat 50 per cent of the immigrants to his country shall be transported in \merican vessels. Mr. Thomas H. rtoasbottom, a representative of the Shipping Board, who testified at the learings, estimated that under the jresent 3 per cent quota law 'this raffic would give the transporting :ompanies a gross income of $17.6"0.?00 per year, of which one-half, or $8,100,000 should come to American own(rs.' He further stated that one-half >f this sum would be net profit "It is important to note that this >111 does not require the Shipping loard to make any report or accountng at any time to either the President >r to Congress or to anybody else. Ceither does it provide any appeal on my decision or action of the Shipping loard or any other tribunal.

In other words the Ship- cr ping Board is all powerful and all bi supreme under the provisions of this Aj most extraordinary bill. pi "The $1,715,000 advertising fund be- Ti ing spent during the jurrent year by the Shipping Board is not being spent cc in vain." he said, and called attention ai ' to the fact that while a statement of cl J disbursements from this fund had er been promised it had not been filed, m He even asserted that the social lobby fii had been overworked to further this th bill and exhibited expensive propa- su ganda which had been sent broadcast lie ! to the press and individuals and as- wi serted that employees of the Shipping ex Board were engaged inthis work for be weeks neglecting their regular duties, th He declared that the propaganda programme was unseemly and reprehen- lit sible and should be rebuked by Con- wl gress. The worst feature of it, he said til is that the propaganda is full of false fo and deceptive statements. ar "Our Government-owned merchant lij tonnage cost the people about $3,000,- B( 000,000. It is estimated that we will probably sell the ships for $200,000,000. Consequently the people will stand a loss by deflation of $2,800,000,000. Furthermore, it is contemplated that either existing shipping companies or companies to be organized, who buy the ships, will capital- ye ize the ships largely in excess of their ye cost to them, and sell the stock and cc bonds to the American people?so gj, that the people will be standing the vj< war deflation, the post-war deflation, 0f and then the promotion inflation. "The people through their Govern- sti ment, will sell the ships for approxi- tu mately $200,000,000, lend $125,000,000 ? to recondition those ships or build jni others, and then pay the owners ap- sit proximately $750,000,000 in subsidies jn! and aids within the next 10 yearsv In an other words, we will be giving V. a? ships^iway and paying the recipients over naif a billion dollars to operate at them for the next ten years, not to - - 1- - < ? ..111 __ spcttlY Ui tuc luui tnai, tucy win pj* ably be coming back at each succeed- m( ing Congress asking for more. tio "As the American people revolted to such an extent as to prevent the en passage of the Hanna Ship Subsidy in; bill, which carried an estimated an- 1 nual expenditure of only $3,222,268, $n and later the Gallinger bill, which $41 carried an estimated annual expendi- fjc ture of $5,109,355, which the report on als the bill stated would be covered by sh ? le{ c Levy 1921 ag ..... 12 mills On ? 6 mills nu .. 6 mills ...... 1 mill col ,.A ^ .. 28 mills ex ] w 1 k h hj ani ? ? g | k | re o 5" ?
