NOW IN THE PIEDMONT I #?ft DrUl(Tax 8mmT? taoiftLurI of Interest Amm| CwJEutSKT ****1 Newberry, Aug. 22?Gaining in I momentum a* it swept through thai Wodmout last week, taking in the counties of Union, Newberry, Lauron?. Greenwood and Abbeville^ the tate campaign party drew big crowd? SI"#!.1? m*mb#ra *>ut ??m? real: spice I n their ?Pe?che?. This week it hit? I eome counties which wie among the eavjest voiipg in the sute, including! Anderson on Tuesday, followed by Walhalla, Pickens, Greenville, and then the jump down to Columbia for| the final meeting at Columbia. Prob-1 ably there has never been a campaign I staged in which more arduous person-1 I work was done by the ?CJ themselves though there have been hotter campaign??much hotter. 1 i ?P??ches of the candidates have not varied much from those delivered by them at the first few bpening meetings. Coca-cola has to some extent held the centre of the stage. | n fact, it would not be p South Caro* | Unai campaign If a drink issue of some| *rhardor ?were not {hv?iv-| ed. The candidates can't split o? hard I liquor, or mild liquor, for that matter,! because they all have to be for "law| enforcement," and so they have be6n| raising Coca-cola on a pedestal, and| then trying to pull it down. Some of d?unot di8CUW the Coea-coi* tax much. Some of them are outspoken for it, and are staking! their all upon it. Mr. McMahan goefj more* and in a 8tate-'| ment to this correspondent thus sue-1 cinctly defines his position: "I favor a one hundred per cent tax on Coca-1 cola collected at the source, that is, J hJfVl? c??t\Ux on a five: cents ttle. No tax on fruit juices and such drinks. iMr. Nance is boldly! proclaiming bis position on every Stump, and has been doing so since I KVupen,ta* ^un bf the campaign?I \h? /?? fi?ht for the tax oft the floor of the house, and that he I advocates the tax With all his vigor. | Mr. Jackson says: "Yes, I favor taxi on soft drinks, so vbted on gl n the senate." Mr. George K. Laney *s fighting for indirect taxes. Major) John G. Richards believes the govern* I ment can be run with economy with-) out the necessity of the tax, and | would favor it only as an emergency | matter, but would not increase tax ox | 'arm lands pr homes. Mr. Ousts is) confining his main line to a condem-1 nation of the appropriation bill, andl v * . continues . his fight an 1 what he terms useless departments along the line, of his efficiency and) consolidation measures which he spon-1 sored at the last legislature. Mr I .Blackwood calls for, farm a-elief, Wai| self government, law Enforcement andl taxYeform, and continues his assault) upon the "nuisance taxes." Mr. Dun-1 can is devoting most of his time and| attention to the alleged power trust. | : Major Richards deolares it is his | purpose to bring back constitutional] government, with the rule of the! people, and "does not believe the | struggling masses will elect a man | who stands f pr extravagance. Mr. | Blackwood says "we pre faced with| the necessity of preaching greater | economy and we must employ our | faculties to solve the probleni'r; Mr.j Peoples declares that South Caroling) is<over-ridden with, tax systems anal top-heavy with departments," and de-1 clares. h? will have an economical ad-1 ministration; Mr., Nance challenges! the other candidates to .show Where) the .last appropriation bill could have | beqn reduced; and so on, with all the| candidates?they aTe for "economy | with, efficiency," never with a thought in mind, it seems, that there will be) a legislature upstair? with power to) enact laws, and power to. refuse to) enact laws. Butitnis campaign varies) very little from those that have gone j before, except that there has been) very .little evidence of the old faction-1 alism. There has been some "mud-1 slinging,** but it didn't go .very far? ] not far enough to reach ' the mark. | Admiral MeGowan, chief highway) commissioner, who is always a shin-] ing mark in his personal dress, told | this correspondent the othfer day that| the attack of one of the gubernatorial | [ candidates launched upon him and | some others did not Call for him to | send his suit to the pressing club that day. I "And you know, he said, there were I Once two darkies out hunting?and hunting for almost anything they) could find. They spied a wood-peeker. | One of them leveled his gun. "Whit, J nigger," said the other. "Let him go. He will peck and peck and peck, and directly he will peck his own damn head off." And that is the way it usually is with mud slinging. :? Interviews with, people in all walks of life, through .the Piedmont, do. not [Bhow^much, if any, change in the standfng of the "gubernatorial candidates given some time ago. The leader is still the icaderje the two who were running neck Tand neck for second place are now about neck and neck with each other for Second place; and there ie another who is running strong; and from these four will come the candidates in the second rate. There is going to be a bigger vote than was looked for some timh past. The enrollment has been heavier than was expected, and interest is increasing. Some women, too, are attending the meetings, and it may be possible that they will be able to bring out a considerable portion dfthefr^Vote this year. One of them up this way said the other day, though, that she now had only eight to chooge from, after hearing the campaign meeting; that ehe certainly wasn't going to vote for that fellow who. favored liquor. ^ teetotaler, and after reading the ao count of his speech she may conclude that Bhe had misunderstood him. In the cotton mills the political work for this or that candidate is at high heat. There is a heavy cotton mill vote in this section, and the feU low who gets the bulk of it has a mighty good chance for the second race?if not for the lead, if he devel-. ops any considerable strength anywhere else. But these cotton mill voters are doing their own political thinking this year to a larger extent than has ever - been -known ~ by this correspondent. "Ward heelers" have about had most of their day. Congressman Dominick, in this district, has no opposition, and he is not taking any part in anybody's race. He suffered a sad bereavement last week in the death of his brother, Mr. J. Claude Dominick, a valued post office employee for many years. - Logoff Newr:" ;~ Lugoff, S.

The opinion reversed that of M. S. Whaley, Richland county judge, and | referred the case back to *him with "the* order that he enter judgment in fa^jpr of the railway company. . M. C. Hasty was driving the automobile at the time of the accident.?Tuesday's State. " v ' ' . ' Gertrude Ederle, American girl, the first' woman to swim the English kchannel, has issued a challenge to all comers, men and women, to swim the channel for a purse of $20,000. This is her answer to the charg$ that her [recent feat was not on the. level. Alarmed by the beligerent attitude of the drys, the powers that be have, decided not to have Dr. Nicholas Murt ray Butler as the chairman of the platform committee when the New York Republican state convention meets at (Saratoga to draw up a platform and' nominate a candidate for the governorship. Butler is a notable leader of the wet element of the Republican party. Mrp. Nellie T. Ross, first woman governor of Wyoming, is again the Democratic standard bearer for the" office. .. In Receiver's Hands Many of our older citizens remember a good many years ago when Cleveland (Springs Hotel was quite a popular resort and many from this state went there for a vacation. The followjng dispatch from Shelby, N. C., (lated August 17, tells of the ffhancial difficulties of this once popular resort: At Goldsbore Friday Paul B; Edmundson, of Goldsboro, was appointed permanent ' receiver for J. C, Van" V ... ' >., ;. story, who with his brother, Henry Vanstory was lessee of the ClevffcKnd Springs hotel. It is learnfd* on good authority that the Habjlltles ?ra it^iL ed at $38,856 and the assets are $11,761. AH of these ^ssets are not solvent, it is understood, and in the last analysis there will be around $3,000 with which to pay the bills. , Since e labor must be paid first out ofths assets, it is understood that p*il4~ tically all of the amount arising from the settlement of the affairs will be needed to pay for labor hired but unpaid during the operation of the hotel during the operation of the hotel by Henry ,Vanstory., It is therefore believed that Shelby merchants andbuBlfteW men -will stand to lose some $20,000 or more in the trmUh action aB most of the accounts payable were to 'Shelby firms for supplies. Many of those local concerns have filed their claims in due form with the receiver, while others folding that there would be nothing to distribute in the settlement, did not to the trouble to submit' their claims.
