Jo? sparks, Columbia correspon dent, writes the following ?<> tlm Augusta Chronicle under duta of March 9: For twenty years whisky was the battle song of the politic ians lu South Carolina, Now in this good year of ^13 It seems us If compulsory education Is to, be made the slogan. It was left for John O, ' Clinkscales. "honest und Jovial John," the college professor and man of the Woodrow Wilson type, to sound the bugle for the new fight. |fe hus announced definite ly that he will make u fight for the governorship of South Carolina on the ^compulsory education plank. Like thousands of citisons of the state, he realises the groat impor tance of education. John CI, Cllnk Bcules is professor of mathematics of Wofford college. He has spent thirty yoars or more in the school room. There is not a better known or a better liked man in the state. He is a fighter. He is ' a scholar, and has always been a close stu dent of government affairs. To know him is to. like him.' Here is another secret about him. There i? not a better story teller in South Carolina. Another feature Us that there are few people In this stats who have not at one time or anoth er been within the hearing of the voice of John Q. Clinkscales: ' He is a man that will hold his own with the best of stump speakers. The campaign will be held during the summer months of 1914, and to date seven candidates have An nounced for governor'. There, are several others tied just around the corner. They will come hopping in to the ring before the present year has passed into history. John CL Richards, Jr., of Kershaw, was among the first to indicate his feel ings toward the office. Mr. Rich ards is a member*. of the railroad commission and has served twelve years in the house. He is well known throughout the state, and in the days when whisky was the bat* tie song Mr. Richards stood for pro hibition. He was first appointed a member of the commission by Governor Ansel. Mendel L. Smitfc has terved several terms as Speak er of the bouse of representatives. He is an able man, a capable speak er, and stands high ? on secret or ders. Mr. Smith is an excellent speaker, has a commanding appffar^ ance and numbers hlsfriends by the thousands. He has not announced the planks in his platform. Chas. A. Smith is the present lieutenant governor. He Is a well known busi ness man, and an advocate of pro hibition. HIa platform has not been announced; R. I. Manning is well known throughout the state. He is a resident of Sumter, and an able buslnecB man ot\', great executive ability. R. A." Cooper has made a most excellent record as solicitor in the Eighth circuit. He is able and will make a hard fight. Thos. H. Peoples is "the boy attorney geaeraL" He hna not beea In p^b ?lic_ life long enough to Bhow~wlIttti ever ability he may have. He has two years tn which to demonstrate how much law he knows. He ffras the first candidate in . the field. It Is generally believed that Geo. R. Rembert, member of the house from Richland, will be a candidate. Lowndes J. Browning, of Union, wlid made such a fine record as chairman of the ways and means committee of the house in 1912, will very probably enter the race. He Is a successful farmer and Is one of the best known men in the state -/-i'"1.- * ? .. v* "? ? On Ijong Bicycle Trip. Mr. and Mrs. G. J.
