It Is To Laugh
'W. W. Simpson died recently in
Spartanburg. His estate was appraised
at $111,625.00. He left Over
$11,000 in cash, $00,000 in stocks and ,
bonds, '$5,500 in **.TXM\ household
good* and automobile," Unless!
he had a mighty cheap flivver and
very ordinal > furniture for a rtyh
man, He evidently didn't even own a
home. We will venture to say that
he paid leas state, town and county
taxes than -a little .'{-mule farmer with
his land mortgaged to the hilt.
Newspapers and politicians never say
u word about such Inequalities and
injustice in taxation. They pull all
the wool off their top knots, however, i
when they hear of farmer Jim SnooK
having a mule that was assessed less
,1 than the brown mule of farmer Sam ,
Jenkins. It would be laughable if i
not so serious. Nobody blames Mr. j
Simpson,?Calhoun Times.
Oscar S. Strauaa, long prominent (
in politics, diplomacy and philanthro- j
py, died at his homo in New York 1
city last Monday. lie was 70 years
of age. Incidentally Mr. Strauss was
the? first Jew to become a member of ,
the cabinet of an American president,
being appointed secretary of commerce
and labor in the cabinet of
President Roosevelt. He was candidate
for the governorship of New
York state on the Progressive ticket
in DM 2.
Couldn't Foul Him.
An amiable drunk sagged down on
the lobby lounge beside a dignified
clergyman.
'Hhish's fine hotel," he began.
"Yes, I have found it very comfortable,"
said the curate,' icily.
'Whutdyn shay to havin' a drink?"
asked the boozy one, genially.
The clerical one's face set severely.
"No, thank you, 1 never touch the vile
stuff."
"Shay," chortled the other, leering
triumphantly, "whatcha givin' us.
You gotcha, hie, collar on backwards,
right now."?From Everybody's Magazine.

SERIOUS AUTOMOBILE WRECK
Five Chester I.adieu Hurt When Automobile
Turn* Over
A party of Cheater ladies < ? their
way to Fort Lawn Friday to attend
the Cheater County Baptist Sunday
School Convention met with a soriouii
and what might have been fatal ac- (
cident near h ishing Creek bridge between
Biseomville and bort Lawn,
and three of the party?Mra. P. Adel-n.
M - H <\ Jtoney, and Mis. |
c e, Grant received very painful
and severe injuries, while the other
two vvU| ants of the car?Mrs. John
A Elliott. who was driving, und Miss
Annie t\ rkill, though they were less
seriously hurt, were Ixidly shaken up,
a" t received a number oC* ruts and
bruises The accident occurred when
? ar drew up from the rear and was
J. ? f ,.m j>t in ?> to pHKS. Mrs. Elliott pi* 11ut
to' aUo'w the other car to go
by, and in doing so ran into a pile of
loose dirt on the side of the road,
which caused her ear to jump us if
it were going to get in the puth of I
the car that was passing, and in Mrs.
Elliott' effort to pull her machine
hack to the right the car in some
way left the road and turned over,
and the occupants of the other car
say it turned completely over once or J
twice. All five ladies were pinned
underneath, and had to be helped out.
Dr. S. Jordan of Richburg was
summoned and was on the scene in a I
short time, and dressed the injuries |
and sent all five back to Chester in 1
his car. I
Mrs. Grant was probably the worst I
hurt of the five. In addition to sever-1
ul cuts x and bruises about the face J
she received a bad blow cm the back I
of the head, and also has a badly
wrenched neck and back. Mrs. Boney I
hud one lip split, requiring several
stitches; was badly shaken up; and
also received painful cuts and
bruises. Mrs. Aclelsheimer's injuries |
were mostly in the form of cuts and I
bruises, and a cut on the wrist that I
was in close proximity ty the artery
had to be sewed up. Miss Annie
Corkill's hurts were less serious,
though painful enough, as wore Mrs.
Elliott's, due, perhaps, to the fact
that they were seated on the left, and
the car turned over and landed on its
right side. I
The machine?a Ford touring carwas
badly smashed up.
It is thought now that a broken
radius rod may have caused the J
trouble.?Chester Reporter.
Mr. E. N. McDowell, of this city,
who travels for an "insurance: firm, J
was in the ear attempting to pass the
wrecked ear. He. was in company
with another traveling man, hut the
ladies laid no blame to him for the I
accident. Mr. McDowell and his companion
had to labor hurriedly in
stopping the flow of blood from some 1
of the injured ladies and had to ren-1
der first aid to all of the injured before
the physician arrived.
Success To The Movement.,
The Civic League of Newberry is
O.h right track. ;
At a recent meeting the fact that
women, who have not only invaded
the barber shops, thereby assailing!
the last stronghold of man, hut who
frequent the barber shops on Saturdays,
when men are usually dolling
themselves up for Sunday, was I
brought up for discussion. I
The Newberry League asked the
(women to get their hair bobbed (luring
the week days, leaving the barber
shops to the men on Saturdays.
Success to the movement!

It I Of A K 1)8 8TATE8 PLATFORM, i
t
In Fir?t Announced Candidate For *
Governor Thi? Summer.
Columbia, May 10?Major John j
(*. Kichurds, of Liberty Hill, chairman t
pro tern, of the railroad commission >
i>f South (Carolina, has issued the following
statement outlining the plat- 1
form upon which he will make the |
ruee for governor this summer: ?
To the Democratic Party of South *
Carolina: <
I fully realize the responsibility '
which I assume in becoming u can- 1
didate for Governor of our state, and 1
in offeirng my platform for your con- *
alteration I also respectfully submit '
my past record, both public and private.
G? course, it is not possible, at this
time, to give my platform as a whole,
hut I desire to stute in plain terms
what my position is upon some of
the more important questions. i
I shall stand for a strict enforce- (
mont of all the laws of our state, '
without distinction or favoritism. 1
I am a strong believer in temper- !
ance; I have always practiced it, and, 1
if elected Governor, I shall enforce
the prohibition law to the fullest extent
of my ability. I am opposed to
the appointment of aliens to enforce 1
this law, but I favor the selection of '
the very best type of our citizens for '
this important duty. I
The rights of the individual states 1
are sacred and fundamental, and J '
shall always defend this great principle
of government as I have done 2
in the past.
Our educational system is the
pride of the state and should be fos- 1
terod in every way possible. I stand
today where I have consistently stood
in the past?for all necessary support !
for both our common schools and our '
colleges. <
The state having provided the facilities
and made them convenient, '
either by location or the "conveying '
system," I favor a compulsory attend- '
ance law, the enforcement of which 1
shall be by local county and district '
authorities. 1
Our ex-Confederate soldiers, and 1
what they represent, is the greatest !
heritage that we possess. I shall, of 1
course, as always, advocate liberal 1
support for them.
Diennial session of the Legislature (
has been a righteous demand of our
I?'oplc fpr many years, and T favor '
putting this reform into operation* at,
the very first opportunity. This is 1
one sure method of reducing our tax 1
burdens.
I have always advocated the con- '
struetion and maintenance of high- j
ways throughout South Carolina, and
I still advocate good roads as one of
the state's most urgent necessities.
Agriculture is the greatest of our
industries, in fact, it is the foundation
of all our prosperity.
I stand for a legislative and administrative
policy that will give vigorous?mrpport
to?all?ageneies -which- tend
to the fullest development of our
farming interests, and for a policy
that shall foster all business and that
shall tend to induce the investment of
capital in our state.
I am opposed to extravagance,
whether in the home, in the municipality,
the county or state government.
I am in favor of strict economy ?n
each and every department of our
state government, and the saving of
every dollar possible to the tax payers
of the state, and if elected governor,
I shall use the veto power to
this end, whenever necessary, and
when this can be done .without impairing
the efficiency of the government.
I am in favor of a dollar's service
for every dollar of salary expended.
In the campaign of 1918, I ad^gcnted
and shall advocate in the coming
campaign, the consolidation-of
those that are unnecessary. Our
state has gotten away from constitutional
government and is actually
suffering from bureaucracy and government
by commissions.
I am opposed to the calling of a
constitutional convention, as this will
entail another great and unnecessary
expense upon our people. All needed
relief can bo secured by amendment
to the const itution. Tax
inequalities are so glaring that
it is evident to all thinking people
that there rpust be reform along this
line. , ,t ... ... '
f ftnt in favor o'f an amendment to
the constitution ' authorizing the
classification of property, so that all
wealth may be made to bear it% propel
pi oportion of the burdens of govern
ment.
I favor the equalization of the tax
values that the necessary funds for
go\ei ninental purposes may be levied
with n greater degree of fairness.
'I am opposed to the revaluation of
the property of the state, and I regard
the effort to impose greater tax
burdens upon real property as an outrage.
F.very effort should he made
to reduce taxes everywhere, and partii'iilaily
upon the homes and farms
of the state, rather than adopt a pol-'
c\ that will most eertainlv increase
them. *
I ani in favor of reclamation <tnd
11't<">iostation, and that this necessary
reform be directed by Clemson College.
Our state is rich in natural resources.
and, if elected, 1 shall exert
every energy for their proper development.
>
In conclusion. I wish to reaffirm
here what 1 said to the people of my
.state in a previous campaign.
I believe in keeping separate the
three co-ordinate branches of the
go\ ernment; 4-hat are God ordained
nnd constitution made, and I shall so
regard them,
i If I am elected governor. I shall
endeavor, with all the ability nnd
strength at mv command, to keep in
? constant touch with the working
. force of all our public institutions
. and branches of the government, and
i shall endeavor to so inform myself
in regard to our public affairs as to
intelligently recommend to the Jaw
nuking power of the state those
hing* that the public good and the
lueds of the hour demand.
Every true, patriotic citizen of the
itate is anxious for her welfare, her
>rosperity, and the moral and materal
advancement of all her interests,
?nd I trust that 1 can, with proper
nodesty, claim this for myself.
In making the race for governor,
t is my purpose to make the issues
.'lean-cut and to the point. I shall go
sefore the people upon a platform
jvery plank of which shall stand for
.he people's good, and for the devel>pment
and upbuilding of our state
in all her interests. I shall go before
them with the firm, the unchangeable
determination that if I am
elected I will be the governor of our
lyhole people, a reunited people.
Most respectfully,
John G, Richards.
