Slating Candidates. in polit ira I contests wo often see i niiuif.tr of candidates with common Mnpa I hie* and purpose* pool their in terests and form a combination to <>loct a certain un>up ol' men. I'nder some circumstances it Is pasy to eloet an entile group of men by the slating proi i ss. Iiii r the trick must lie turned skillfully and without tlio public's know ledge. A political slate is a menace to the welfare of the people. It is founded on l he idea that the first tiling to take care of is the candidate's interest and uol t lint of the public. Ity manipula tion the will of the people can thus he defeated, and of course tin* voters are made' the "mint" in putting tin' slate through successfully. The slate method Is nothing more or less than 1 m ins rule or the rule of the few to defeat the rule hf the many. It is founded upon selfishness, and takes less notice of the general good than it does of personal advancement. A slate can do the public no good. If one has heeii made, as has been charged. It ought to he shown up and then smashed to\ smithereens af the I H lis. |{i K-k i 1 1 1 1 I toco I'd. Probably a World's Iterord.

There Is a saying that In midsummer clover prices go up when "umbrellas do; meaning that too much rain is unfav orable to the seed crop. It drowns the M-ed However true it is, condi tions in clover districts at present don't indicate that now would l?e a bad time to buy s?>ed ; and. seed may advance in price at any time. Last August prices advanced* $1.80. owing to heavy rains, ami went still higher in Septern l*er and Oet*>t>er. due to the same cause. Another reason for buying seed now is that ordering early will allow for delays in shipment, miscarriages of freight, ate., and will also give time for a fFrminatlon test of the seed to he made before planting.

For as Mr. Dum-an said In his speech. "Hleaso. having tho lender foot, shot and tlion run and Ids henchmen oven from Hio border of North Carolina fol lowed, because iliev could not stand lire." A little Incident Happened during Ids speech that showed what a fake Hleaso is. Uhllcullng Manning's law and order administration, he saM "Why my friends two of Ids commis . s h a led constables for Itichhiml were ar rested and lined for assault ami dis orderly conduct." A man in the erowd i said. "1 guess .they wore your pardoie . ed criminals." Please tpdckly retorted, ! "They held commissions from Man nlut;. you liar, you." The man in turn retorted. "You would not call me that, if so many people wore not between us." After a little more fiasco and1 show of bluster, he proceeded with his tirade on In*. William* more than on i Manning. Me read from the Amler son Tribune a loiter alleged to have j been written .by Mr. Williams In which f funds were asked of a patient, when. | as Hleaso charged, she was already at home. Mr. Muneau interrupted him and asked if ho had the letter; he sabl he could trot it. Muncan in his speech said it was a lie to fool the jieople and that Manning did not have backbone ! enough to defend himself against ; I 'lease's lies, much los the truth. Hleaso was cheered by his henchmen from tho start to llnlsh of his speech and at the conclusion, left the grounds with about 2(H) or .'5(H) of his noisy fol lowers going with him. Just before : leaving the stand, he said he wanted to read from the Anderson Tribune, a ; Hleaso 'paper, the names of the can t dldatos who are his friends. Tho tlrst ? name road was that of Mr. A. S. Fant. j candidate for railroad commissioner. Mel>utlle Hampton, Coo. W. Wlghtman. and a few others. As soon as Mr. | Kant could ?t permission from Chair man I'arrott, in sentorlan voice erled. "I am no Pleaslte. never was ami nev er shall he." This brought forth long j and loud applause and won no doubt | huifdreds of votes for him. ?.? .Mr. K. A. Cooper was next siknikci iiikI lie ap|>earcd to lie somewhat OX' cited from tlio reading of a letter st.uit out from Manning's headquarters abd i"iul by Hlease before he Hosed his i eel i in whieli the charge was made, that Cooper was without issue, that he was neither for nor against Hlease 1 and t.liat he U onl> playing seeoml ftd ! die to Coventor Manning. Mr. Cooper ! was mui'h stirred up over that part 'that charged that lie had abandoned ! the principles- for which he stood two years ago. when he had heen advocat ing them in this campaign at every meeting. Mr. Cooper made a tine speech and had a large following judg ing from the applause he received, es pecially when he announced that lie never was in sympathy with HI ease. Mr. J. M. I >es< 'liainps said he -was no politician, for we -had toy much polities now for the good of the State. He presented the issues in a broad statesmanlike way and made the only educational address that touched upon live issues that are so much needed in this progressive aire. ^ From tin' continued applause lie re ceived and from the fact .when his time was out, Mr. John T. Duncan was urged to go on and the chairman ask ed to extend his time, thai his speech was interesting. He spared neither intense. Manning nor Cooper, but tlay ed all alike and showed up. as lie said, their weak points. The most significant fact . .f the meet ing was that after patiently hearing for .'i or 4 hout?t all the candidates and) being tired, hot and hungry a crowd of more than l.(HH> at request ,,f (i<jv eruor Manning when he was ir.tr.Mhifled sat down and with closest attention, gave him most. res|>eotful hearing, while j he told of the 'work of his adminlstra t i ? hi ? the enforcement of the laws, es i p? 'dally in Charleston, the pitiful con dition in which he found the asylum and how he brought about a change that gave the unfortunate inmates such I great relief. He explained t? . the sat isfaction of all why he hired I)r. Wll hlams as superintendent and gave him i more than what his salarj call* : ed for. simply because lie could not | get him for any less and he wanted a man that thoroughly understood the j business, even if 'ho had to pay him j the difference out of his own |x>cket, i which he did. I>r. Williams by his splendid and economical management saved to the state over the previous administration $34,000.00 and yet gave i the inmates l>etter attention as 22 I nurses had Iteen added to the hospital forces and the number of regular phy ! ^i' ians more than doubled i A large number of those who starred j to hear him were inen, who formerly | voted for Hlease. but were^uixlous to j know the truth. Comment as to who was in the lead j varied, some think Manning was in the lead, others that Oooper was. but all are agreed that Blease won't carry his usual strength. Prolonged applause was given him when he rlo?ed and the ladles pr<?sont ed him with a box of beautiful flow ers. He was tfie only s|>eaker that got flowers. Capt. II.

I see you are still commenting on your statement about the finance of the county and trying to put your own blunder on me. Now did you not use and have in view the $70,000 as county funds when you published that statement? I >1(1 you draw the line plain enough for people to see. who are not so very wise as you are? Yes, I said "would it not be better to have the roads dragged than to have the $70,000 lying idle." I say so yet. but I did not say. or imply that it would fake that amount. It would eost a very small sum to drag the roads and 1 lltink it should have heeil diuio, -and feel very sorry for even an editor like you who could not see through so sim ple a statement. Your report of my talk at Hethune is very unbecoming even a small editor and 1 prefer that you leave me out unless you can he fair enough to give me justice. Now in reference to the "misleading state ment" iit the Hethune meeting when the paiK*r was handed to me, before 1 could find the statement. I was inform ed that my time was up and could go no further into the matter.
