Cassia, an alert, keen looking hiua, with a gray mustache and gray hair, does not show his age. Those who have seen him In tin* cab of the big locomotive that pulls the Empire Stato Express from the I la rlom yards to Al bany would fake him for a man of ahout W>, hut up at his trim little house at f>97 Walton aveliue, The Mrrtnr - -1' 4 that 3 iaer. Cassia h tarsal railroading eveu 1h> fore the S.'l years ho tola ubout began. When he was a mare youngster he us ed to hang ahout where railroad men congregated, .drinking In the stories they told. At the tirst chance he donned the overalla and got a Job aa wlj?er, lan-onilng in time a tireraan and then, Juat R0 yeara ago on' August IK, a full fledgd engineer. His llrst engine was one of the old wood burning "dlnkles" that used to run between Watchester county points an<l the old downtown Grand Central Terminal. Aa engine building progress- 1 ed he got a better type of locomotive ! and dually ho hccamc tin* (loan a li d the most trusted engine driver on the road. Despite the fact that he start' ed in when that sort of work was in its infancy he has kept fully abreast of the times and ha A passed all the examinations that up-to-dqte methods require of railroad engineers. Ills proudest possession, outside of his family and,, his record, is a diamond ring he won. some yars ago in a pop ularity content conducted by a railroad magazine when la; was voted, by a big majority, the most, popular engineer in the United States. In addition to the important duty of taking the Empire State safely to Al bany at a mile a minute speed, Cas sia turns around in Albany yards and brings whirling back to this city an other of the crack trains of the road, the Southwestern Limited. Better than a mile is the speed he makes at times with this train. In this time Cfissin has carried mil lions of passengers and lie can spin many a yarn about the big njen he has had in tho coaj-lios behind him. <!ov ornors of New York, Prsjdents of the United States, bankers, merchants, mayors ami fnmotas persons of all sorts have ridden behind Safe Dennis Casslii. In addition to being the dean of the Central forces, Cassia is ode of the oldest active railroad engineers in the world. at Who is W. F? Stevenson? Come to the Congressional cam paign meeting at Camden, July 10, and Kershaw on July 17, and he \yili tell you. Mr. W. P. Stevenson, who is run ning for congress in this district, has been engaged in some great litigation. He was employed-by the attorney gen eral to assist in the prosecution of the tlispensary grafters. We will refer to only one of the great trials of that series. This was held at Chester. So licitor Henry was sick, hut Mr. McLure acted for hiiu, with credit to himself and to the entire satisfaction of the attorney general. Mr. B. L. Abney was also for the State. The defense pre1 sen tod a brilliant array of counsel : Weston & Aycock, It. H. Welch, M. P. Howell, A. Li. Gaston, John M. Wise and Nelson & Gettys. Mr. W. O. Guy was foreman of the jury and J. M. Wil son, J. W. Taylor, John Estes, Alex Fraser, K. M. Hough, W. H. ' Caldwell, J. N. Calvin and J. W. Suitman were the jur$\ It has been affirmed that they would not convict on the evidence of the co conspirators. They should be enrolled on the'TOlJ of honor. No such plea controlled tnem. The trial lasted a week. The case was ably argued on all sides. Mr. Stevenson closed for the State and his argument has been more talked of than any otheK^ic has ever made. Hut merely because of the oc casion and result Mr. Black \Vos con victed, and subsequently pardoned. The corresi>ondent of the News & Courier said of the argument : "Attorney Ste venson made what has been comment ed on as probably the most powerful address heard in the court house here in years. Sharp, keen, incisive, crowd ing a world of facts into a small com pass and marshalling them with won derful generalship, adhering to the issue and exposing the guilt." The Chester Reporter said : "There were sQme magnificent speeches In the ,graf( cases Tast week, but the public is agreed that it was the intensely forceful speech of Mr. Stevenson, per haps, more than any other, that made the conviction of Black possible. Mr. St^tiCTHKm rehearsed the evidence item by item. There was not n piece t?r par cel missing. IBs irony went true to the mark and laid bare the rottenness." Isn't there rottenness to l?e exposed in Washington? Do we want ability there? ? Adv. Not Suspected. A barber, after scraping away in dustriously for a few moments, made the usual inquiry: "Razor all right, sir?"

He Should under stand fully til# w-i^rkhiKs of the gener al assembly. An Inexperience! chief executive woidd hardly learn the ins ami outs of the legislation before his term in office were over.

The people otfght to consider well before casting their ballots for any candidate who can furnish only thfo ret leal plans as towkat should In* done ami what should not be done. There are men running for governor who would be able to carry out the policies they advocate because they have had the necessary experience in the legisla tive halls. A broad business experience apiKMirs to be another very nece^ary qunllflca tldn for the governorship. The cxih-u tive department dears **th the tluan chil end of the State government to a large extent. The governor should he a man w ho understands finances and their application to handling the tax payer's monev. The State is nothing more ill this regard than a large busi ness and it takes a business man to haiAlle the affairs, ? The governor of South Carolina pre ferably should be one who has been In close touch with the people, espe cially the farmers, who compose the largest single class of our population. lie should be a man who knows the needs of every class of people and should be acquainted with tlje condi tions in every section of South Caro lina, otherwise, he would not be "gov ernor of all the i>eople." The governor should be a practical man. There are a number of theories being advanced now In the campaign for the governorship. ?' Some of the things advocated would lie all right if they could be 'put Into effect. As a practical proiiosition one of the main Issues of the campaign would have to be hatftlled in a different manner from that suggested by some of the candi dates. Compulsory education in South Carolina at the moment could not be enforced, liecauee the school equipment is not adequate. It would lie better that each county vote on the subject. When a county should vote for com pulsory education, its people would be behind the enforcement of the law. The* legislature has twice favored the local option idea in compulsory educa tion. This State's experience with lo cal option has taught a good lesson and the i>eople would do well to foUow the plan in the matter of compulsory edu cation. Enforcement of the law? hot theo-r retlcally but practically? is the one big Issue liefore the jieople of the State to day. Let them elect a governor who will not only say he is going to enforce the law, hut one whose past life places him l>efore the i>eople as an exampler of law enforcement. Think well, i>eople of South Caro lina, and_ vote for the man who tills the bill. ~ - L. M. Creen. ?Sumter. July 10, 1014. I Must Have Good Lan<l. "The .farmer's biggest problem" said Prof. W. Jj.
