Issuing Had Checks
It seems that the habit of issuing
bad cheeks is not confined to Spartanburg
or any other city, but is general.
It should be stopped, stronger
laws should be enacted to that end.
The present statute proves no chock
to those who continue in this practice.
In comment o nthis popular,
thougji evil, practice the Florence
News-Review says:
The present system makes for carelessness.
0 Many H well-intentioned
beat-it-to-the-bank plan miscarries. I
A man shouldn't give a check unless
his bank book shows the balance
there.- He shouldn't get mad with the
bank that turns his check down.. The
bank loses money on every small
checking account it handles, and If
one depositor overdraw^ and. fails to
come across this loss )is only augmented.
: " j
A man that will give a bad check (
for gasoline to joyride on shouldn't
get much joy out of that ride. If a 1
man steals that which belongs to
others to feed his family when in dir^need
there might be some excuse, but
most of the bad checks afloat in Florence
were given for things the checkgiver
couldn't really afford and they
knew it at the time they gave the
check.?Spartanburg Herald >

In announcing myself a candidate

stand fori
J First?I stand for enforcement of
! all the laws. I stand for the protection
of our law-aibiding citizens. I
stand for investigation of all cases
before they are put in court, I think
, guilt to some exent should fie reasonably
sure before one should be put
1 to so much trouble and thereby incurring
unnecessary expense,
As to the prohibition law I stand
for its enforcement, and will do all
in my power to enforce it.
I think every man should be given
a fair trial when he comes before the
court. ' ,
Lastly, I stand for equal rights to
all and special privileges to none.
If the people see fit to give me.
their support I will 'return to them
the very best service possible.

For Probate Judge
- a>
A MESSAGE TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF
KERSHAW COUNTY, BOTH LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN
V*\.
It ia with a great deal of pleasure that I can say to
you that as Probate Judge I have served you honestly,
faithfully and, I trust, efficiently. The various repbrts
of the official accountants now on file in the Clerk's
office of Kershaw County indicate that the conduct of
the office has been that of efficiency. One of the reports
says that the Probate office of Kershaw County
is kept better than a majority of the Probate offices in ?
- South Carolina. "
More than Forty-five Thousand Dollars ($45,000.00)
Inheritance Tax, almost entirely on Northern property, *
has been placed in the State Treasury through the .
Probate office of Kershaw County for the benefit of
the taxpayers of Kershaw County and South Carolina.
This tax was gotten only after a hard fight in the
Courts as the owners of the property wanted the tax
to go to Northern States. Only one pther county of the
State with all of their wealth?Charleston?has made
a better showing. *
I have given my earnest attention and my best
ability to this office and upon this record I am asking
your endorsement for another term, assuring you that
your continued endorsement can but accentuate the
"" honest eiftdeavor that has been mine throughout former
I y years.; * 1
I will thank yoti for your support.

TEXAN* SHOOT IT (HIT Aged
Mm Um BiflM In ratal Duel
Over Ung Quarrel ,
Sweetwater, Texas, Aug. 10.?<Bulleta
today ended the feud of two elderly
Texana who met and ahot out
their - difference# with automatic
rifles. Both died with their boots on.
A quarrel that ribbed and flared for
more than a year between W. S. Heed,
66, and hi# farm tenant, J. D. Ware,
70, is said to have precipitated the
shooting between them. The men
lived at Camp Springs, 96 miles north
of here, and tne shooting occurred
near their homes.
Sixteen children survive Ware and
eight survive Reed. Both of the men
hqd been armed slhce a fist fight a
month ago, officers w?re informed.
There were no witnesses to the
shooting. Reed, in a dying statement,
told officers he and Ware squared
off a few feet from each other and
Ware suddenly hoisted his gun and
fired the first shot, Reed, wounded,
leveled his own weapon and loosed
a volley. Neither lived more than an
hour* v
Neighbors said the shooting apparently
was caused by the old troifble
concerning operation.of Reed's farm
by Ware.
ltced, a typical farmer of midwest
Texas, was known to all the old timers.
Ware was a newcomer who had
rented Reed's fa^rm, little more than
a year ago.
CAMPAIGN NQW UNDER WAY
(Continued from First Page)
office of treasurer, by appointment
from the governor, was next. He offered
his candidacy saying that he
was no speaker but a book-keeper.
John S. Truesdale, the last for
treasurer, stated that he had served
overseas. Had business abiMty and
took a course in' bookkeeping at
Poughkeepsie. If elected would give
the very best service, courteous to all.
His duties would be solely to the
office?his undivided attention.'
Loring Davis was the first speaker
for the house. Mr. Davit ip from Bethune.
He stated at the outset that
be was no kpeaker, but a business
man and had no political record to
review. Favored good roads, good schools
and 100 per cent law enforcement.
Was in favor of sufficient
funds to pay old soldiers. Would
fight for the abolishment of overlapping
offices and favorbd a iaw to
protect depositors in banking institutions.
Would be unbound by any tie
or person except to the interests of
Kershaw county. ^
Newton Kelley for the house, stated
that he was grateful to Providence
that he was allowed to be present to
discuss issues.? The -greatest issue
was taxation, but he was not against
a reaonalble tax for value received.
The people were demanding relief but
he had no promises to make, but if
elected he wanted his people to watch
his vote. He reviewed his record in
the house in 1913-1914. He favored
the, masses but not the classes. He
stated that when he was in the general
assembly the state budget w?s
three million, now it had jumped to J
ten million. It was impossible to keep
UP new offices and reduce appropria*
tions. * He stated he was against the
tax commission. If elected he would
woi& for the masses and for the best
interest of the entire state. , ..
Allen B. Murchison was the next
speaker for the bouse. It was his
highest ambition to serve. He . favored
a legal rate of interest at 6 per
cent., and favored the branding of
sacks of fertilizers to show what they
contain. He favored abolition of the
tax commission the reduction of
the -highway commissioners from
fourteen to three or at least to sevqn.
He reviewed his record in the office of
superintendent of education and his
fight for educational facilities to tfie
boys and girls of the rural districts.
And also at Mt. Pisgah he'defended
his name in the audit made of his
books when a public acountant" bad
charged him with a discrepancy of
$1,200 in his accounts ap .superintendent
of education. This he branded as
.a lie
T. K. Trotter was the last speaker
for the House. It gave him pleasure
to be at Bethune and hoped that the
voters would hook up a Trotter team
in the House. He would work in harness
with the others. Talked on taxa-,
tion, but was not in favor of more
taxes on resl estate. Favored good
roads and schools, and a change in the
laws relating to landlords and tenants.
Was in favor of biennial sessions of
the legislature, law enforcement and a
stricter enforcement of the .game
laws. Favored income tax and inheritance
tax, but thought inheritance
tax should conform to federal inheritance
tax. Promised to servo - faithfully
if elected.
Senator L. O. Funderburk, seeking
re-election, reviewed his record in the
Senate. He had offered his service to
the people and spoke of the county
government when he was elected and
compared it with now, saying'he had
heard no kick on the present county
government. Had reduced the county
levy and had reduced the commutation
tax from four to three dollars. He
went into a reply to Treasurer McCaskill
'and told of the audit, stating
that he had not intended to harm any
innocent man and had instructed auditor
to hew to the line, regardless and
that the audit and action of the grand
Judy was a result. Said that although
the Treasurer had good and true
friends on the grand jury, they could
not get around the evidence presented
He wanted to he re-elected if the people
were satisfied with his record.
G. C. Welsh, who declined to enter
the race again for sheriff, was the
second speaker for the senate. Reviewed
his record as sheriff and it was
his desire to serve as- senator. He
spoke of the pay:as-you-go plan of
roadbuilding and compared the large
amounts being spent in Lancaster,
Chester, Charleston and other counV
ties for-roads snd bridges, while Ke?\
thaw county had not received any
money it* over four years from this;
source and they did not evep want to
pay for the bridge over the Wateree.
Said If be was^ent t?r the Senate he
- ' * 4 '
jHRTTv fJ. i JCr- i* xf/ rvj- *'
.
would get some of this money or raise
a big fuss. Promised to look after
interests of county and state and
stand behind officers whom the
people elect.
The candidaets spoke along practically
the same lines at Mt. Pisgah
Tuesday. At Bethune the meeting
was opened with prayer by Rev. W.
V. Jerman and at Mt. Pisgah by Mr.
Newton Kelly, both invoking Divine
guidance on the campaign.
The -meeting at Mi. Pisgah wA&
held in the commodious brick schpol''
house recently erected, which has all
modern conveniences, such 'as sewerage,
electric lights and water and a
spacious auditorium. This meeting
was ably presided over by Mr. W, T.
Holley, one of the. best citizens Qf
that section, who asked for an attea
. ' " <v 'V
tive hearing and requested lhat__jf
any one desired to ask the' candidates
questions that they do so in a quiet
and respectful manner.
* Mt. Pisgah section is in the northernmost
part of the cpunty, rather
northeast, and. occupies a unique distinction
Mn the fact that it is populated
entirely <by white people, who
do their own work, live at home, have
good farms, excellent crops this year
and are happy and contented. Good
schools, good roads, go hand in hand
and has done much for the good of
these people in recent years..
All candidates were given attentive
hearings and there was no ill feeling
among them. The.Mt. Pisgah people
are a delightful crowd to mingle with
and this newspaper man enjoyed his
trip to both Bethune and Mt. Pisgah.

I The Principle of I
INDIRECT TAXATION
W m I
I Is bound I
Founded upon good economics, which should be the basis of $11 taxation, indirect I
1 taxation operates ^"distribute the burden and to relieve agriculture; which; in its
present unprofitable state, is paying all, and more, tax that it can afford, I $m a I
consistent advocate.of indirect taxation, a^ a policy.' Instead of increasing the bur- I
I den upon farm lands, I maintain that the present tax on agriculture is too heavy, and I
i wotild relieve part of the burden. I hold, however, t'hat a 7\ I
I Partial Sakjs Tax ?7 I
| as now in force and effect in*?U>ttth Carolina, is not only discriminatory. class legis- 1
j 1 at ion. but that it is dangerous in its operation. The nuisance taxes were put on as j
a matter of expediency. As long as this expedient can be resorted to, the> tax re- ? 1*
form, which is South Carolina's greatest need, will be starved off. A partial tax, if I
??r.- continued, will in the course of time, through the process of evolution,become a gen- j
| era^ sales tax. If sates of cigars, candy, cigarettes and soft drinks cdp be taxed by --fcrI
thet state, the nextifctep will be the taxing of shoes, or clothing, or sugar, or flour.
Gradually all merchandise?not only the luxuries, but the necessities as well?;WiU. I

Only One Dollar in Two Pays Taxes J
I - in South Carolina I
I Of the more than $800,000,000 of property in this state only actual property is I
| taxed, although the Constitution provides that allc property shall be taxed equally,
, at full value. More than $400,000,000 in dash money, notes, mortgages and ether
evidences of credit?-tot the greater part profit-bearing securities?is escaping taxa
tlon 'altogether. By a Constitutional amendment providing for the taxation of intangible
property at a fair and equitable rate?a rate which it can afford to pay? 1/11

No greater calamity could befall South Carolina than a general sales tax. It I
