The Fid it or, iiersonally, does not ob ject to real good automobiles running past his house at 100 miles per hour, but when these fellows who drive "wrecks" shamble by, at a reckless unit, throwing nuts and holts and mon key wrenches through the window panes of his house, lie objects, serious ly, indignantly and furiously. No man hankers to lie killed with a back-date gun. ? Marion Star. The newspaper men who are cov ering the campaign have new mimes, lis a result of the attacks by Major John <?. Richards, chairman of the railroad commission,- and a candidate for governor, on what lie has named, "the newspaper oligarchy." A. I). Oli pb a nl of The 'Columbia State has des ignated the three newspaper men as oligarchy 1. and .'t. .1. A. Duly of The < 'olunihia Record Oligarchy No. 1, Caldwell of The News and Courier and (Jreciiville Daily News as oligarchy No. himself as 'Oligarchy No. and ? J. It. Calvert, the Western Fnlou muTi who is making the rounds with the campaign and handling press copy, ax chief siave of the Oligarchy. Richards and Carroll Siiums, also running for governor, are the only two out of the UO candidates who have attacked the newspapers so far. HOW TIIK CANDIDATES STAND. The candidates for Governor are placing themselves on record upon tin? groat questions of t" lie* day. Tliriv is no mistaking their stand. Charles Carroll Sims says ho favors tho policies of tho present adininistra t Ion and If ho Is elected ho proposes to continue thorn. .1 no. i!. Richards is Hat I'ootcdly op posed to compulsory education, and Is not even willing for tho people to vote oil the (paction, lie has given up State wide prohibition, and now advocates loeal option with teferellee to the j whiskey business. Manning, drowning, Mendel Smith ! all favor local option in tlie mat ter of compulsory education: that Is. tliev favor allowing cacti county votel on the question for itself. Manning and drowning likewise favor local op* tion with reference to whiskey selling. I rhy Is an adminM rat ion man strict ly. Ilis chief aversion is a cotton mill, though what lie proposes to do with thorn wo have never heen ahlo to loam. Charles A. Smith stands alone In ad vocating a law that will give the ]>oo plo of tho State tho benefits of the Webb law with reference to whiskey, lie is and always has been a State wide prohibitionist and favors a State-wide elect ion on tho question, lie also fa vors a State-wide vote on tho matter ?of compulsory education. ? Cllnkscales Is out-and-out for a State wide law for compulsory education. He is making this the chief plank In his platform. In the matter of law enforcement. Browning. Cllnkscales, Cooper, Man ning and both Smiths are outspoken. They will put n stop to race track gam bling and other flagrant violations of law. Sims, Kichards and I rhy are strangely quiet on these matters. Duncan devotes his time to discuss1 ing something which ho calls "the sys tem." Just what It Is, 110 one has ever been able to understand. He has run for Governor Heveral times lioforo, and always on this platform. ? Abbeville Medium. THE NEW RULES.

Mr. Smith Is ordinarily a reasonable man ; a good business man and upright and square, hut he is hard bended sometimes, like most other men, and so he felt he had not lieen treated rlglit in being required to ? sign his 'full name ' to Mm* club roll in order to be entitled to vote. When he met his neighbor Jirown he was still wrought up over the matter and ex pressed himself freely and forcibly to Ids neighbor, ami denounced the "/ooj ru|e." lie had too much sense to think there was any "trick" in it, and was too honest a man to pretend to think so. Mr. Brown said: "You don't liked! because you could not sign the roll J. it. Smith; Is that what vou don't 1 1 keV" "Yes," said Mr. Smith, "that is just it. There is no sense iu it." "Maybe there is." replied Ids /iel?h bm\ "There Is :i .1. |{. Smith in the iil'.vL township, you know. Mis najuc is James It. and yours Is John It. and there Is a John It. Smith iq. another township whose middle name is Itob cit. \\ lint is to hinder one or both of these men from voting in your name if ii Is on the roll as "J. it. Smith?" "I hit everybody in the township knows me," said Mr. Smith, "and both the other Smiths are ^louest men, so far as I know, and would not cast a' fraudulent vote." "That may be all true," and Mr. 1 1 row n, "in a small town like this or out iu the, country where everybody knows everybody else; but when you come to large cities, .where a man may not know ?'Yen his next door neighbor, and where politics is a regular busi ness. it Is a good idea to throw every safeguard possible around the ballot," so a sto secure a fair and honest eleer . t ion." "I hadn't thought of that," frankly spoke Mr. Smith. "And now since I have come to think of it, I believe it is a mighty good rule. And added he, it i>? no t rouble to sign one's full name anyhow. 1 just got put out about nothing because I -listened to some of the fault tinder- and did not think for myself." .Most of thi* trouble in politics comes people do not think for them selves.

Editor Chronicle ? A very progenlous source of economic waste to our people Is life insurance as conducted by other than' fraternal societies. In the last several years there has gone out of; South Carolina as payments on life J premiums the emummus sum of forty seven million dolhirsT^-'-Qiit of this only about twenty million hiishetiu return ed to pay death claims. Eleven million to the polite plug-hat gentry to ?:i flier up the sheckels from our people and sixteen million sticks to the pockets of the plutocratic companies mostly in the North. There is one small South ern state that contributes annually sev en million dollars to this fund' over and above the death claims, agencies, etc. This represents an amount far in excess of the cost of the entire State government. The insurance companies should be compelled to reduce the pre miums by law or they should be made to put into our State treasury half* of the surplus gatherings of .their agents, and If this was done we would have to pay very little taxes for this fund would be nearly sutllclent to run our State and county government. The commissions to agents could be reduc ed by half and then they could enjoy more ease and luxury than the toilers in the Holds and factories of the state, mail thus, al*o, the army <?{ agent* would Ih? redutvd for they are wow be [jiff (Mild far moie than it OOfttft to maintain ii'?- ..landing army And wvjr of the nation.

He would suggest that living through a warm night in a narrow stall neither properly cleaned nor bedded is suffer ing for him and iw?or economy for the owner. He would say that turning the hose on him is altogether too risky a thing to do unless you are looking for a sick horse. Spraying the legs and feet when he is not too warm on a hot day, he would find agreeable. He would say ? "Please sponge out my eyes and nose and dock when I come in tired and dusty at night, and also sponge me with clean cool water under the collar and saddlp of the bar- ' ness." ? our Dumb Animals.
