Aul!, Special'Chronicle I Correopondent.) Columbia, Aug. 28.?All Gaul, according to a conquering hero who wrote of a war which he waged and of hia own heroism, waa at that 'time divided into (three parte. So ir\ South Carolina today, numerically, with regard to the aenatorial race, and it would take the seventh eon of a seventh oon?yea. even one of the prophet* of old?to tell at this time I which of these parts numbers the moat voters. During the past week the senatorial candidates awuog g -week they will wind up the campaign with a tour taking them through Calhoun, Orangeburg, Berkeley, Dorcheater and Barnwell counties. A trip through the Piedmont, and from the Savannah river to York, and down the country apiece, talking with the people about whom they are agoing to send to Washington to occupy one of the seat* of the mighty, together with information reaching ! I Columbia from every source, doesn't I get you anywhere much. What the I people are looking for is the man I that will beat represent South Carolina in a etand against the persistent encroachment on states' rights? though South."Carolina in recent years, has lent her aid somewhat to this encroachment. The people ?eem to have waked up along this line, and now they -are demanding all that is theirs, and hoping to get away with just a little more. Could the people of "South Carolina decide upon which Iof the three candidates could and would .beat do this* he would ride In, and of thanks in UP B~^x5ie candidate's are giving a good deal of their time to a dia&saion of] the World court; but, however important that may be, the J^P1? arc I not giving it ao much thought as they did in the past. They regard all these foreign issues as about settledrj They have no idea tbw cp will enter the League of Nations, and they regard the World court rjsjjvjjtions \a* so far-reaching that the countries of Edrope will hot accept them, jnd .thht It will^net ^e^N^much men, not mu<ih consideration is given the World coSrt matto* by -the masses of the people, who regard it more or left* of a dead issue, so far as this country is concerned. . They did take some interest in the controversy between Senator Smith and Speaker B*owh upon the question, because it was a somewhat spicy controversy; but when Senator ^ Dial comes along and says the main thing rlSxt how Is to get these ^iropean nations to pay their debts, they give attention, because they think it Is debt-paying time, or at l^s-t time to make a start. Speaker BroWs reviews of Senator Smith's record have been listened to carefully, as has Senator (Smith's^, defense of J118 course during his eighteen years in the sen-1 I ?ate. Mr. Brown has been making, some good, and aggressive ?P^?i?8' and Senator .Smith, while mentioning no names, hps come back with his usual vigP!?33l could, has stayed to^jjiiddie of toe, road.
