Lieutenant Governor Charles A. j Smith was given close attention, IJej does not advocate compulsory educat-j t Ion. Hut made (reference to an edi torial In the lant Issue of thu Itaptist Courier In which It says that the cry for compulsory education was. trying to force the IsHlle of state whle prohi bition in the |>aek ground. Mr. Smith said that Kershaw had two candidates and that if the voters could not do cldo mi either, then lie wanted them, to remeiiiher him ill I lie ballot box, j Ho made a good impression on his j hearers. Lowndes ,1. Browning in answering! a ( 'oiifodorate veleriin wiio had Inter rupted ('. A. Smith, told of .what ho had done for the old soldiers in tin* home. Mr. 1 1 row n lug is opposed to state wide compulsory education tend spoke of Ids plan for rural credits. "For the satisfaction of Mr. Hrown 1 1 ik. i will say that If the state can afford to appropriate thousands of j dollars for the higher education of a' few hundred hoys and girls in Stale poll cues, then 1L can alVordto pay for facilities to accomodate the 40,00(1 children who can not get In now," said .loliu ( ! , Cllnkscalos. The speaker Insisted that If It were ! in Ids power ho would Increase the ap propriation of every State college,. "I know and my fiVnd Drowning knows that 1 would Wot hurt a single institution of higher learning," insist, oil Mr. Cllnksoales. "How do you stand on the liquor question, brother?" asked an auditor. "Never touched a drop in my life," answered Mr. .< Mlnksenles. "Whether Charles Smith takes the blind staggers and butts Ids brains out against a tree or not the niggers 'are going to school," declared Mr. Clink scales, in roforriilg to the lieutenant governor's query at Chostertiold wheth er he favored compulsory measures to pill the negroes into the schools. I'rof. Cllnkscalos cited a ease of where twelve men were on a jury in Spartanburg ? seven were negroes and five were whites ? All of the negroes could write their names and the white men had to make their marks. "If' you don't believe It I will pay your railroad faro to Spartanburg and prove it" said the-. sjH'akor. He told of the state appropriating large sums of mo ney for the eradication of the cattle tick, and now the howl against com pulsory education. He asked which was more Important ? the eradication of the cattle tick or the education of our boys and girls. Declaring that ho stood for law en forcement. Solicitor H. A. Cooper, of Laurens, spoke next. The crowd by this time had gotten tired, but the earnestness with which Mr. Coo"i>er spoke soon got their ears and he was given strict attention. He spoke along the lines of his platform as published elsewhere in this pa|>er today and Im presstal everyone with his earnestness. He made no reference to any of the candidates, but promised if elected to know no man ? no set of men? when it came to administering the laws. John T. Duncan. the last candidate for governor to speak, advocated the appointment of a commission of ex perts to aid in advancing legislation. "Hurrah for lUease!" interrupted a man in the audience, which had grad ually melted away. '"My friend, if you lot that dram cool down 1 will talk to you a bit." retorted Mr. Hun can. "1 knew H lease was the worse dose _of political Ipecac I could ram down your throats," said Mr. ihincan, after be had averred that he could not Mud a Jones man in the state this year and had claimed credit for electing ltloaso two years ago. ?W e're going ,to send ltloaso to the senate." declared the man who had In terrupted Mr. Duncan once before. " \ ou'll have to make a senate of your own for him then." answered Mr. 1 niu.au. TO TIIK DKMOCKATIC VOTKKS OF KKKSIIAW COl'XTY.
