To ensure this every safe guard should be thrown about th voting and the count. Governor Blease has been abuse this year, but it has not been don 1?W\' by those who always opposed hin The abuse of him was done by thos who were former friends of his. 1 is well to remember this. ? Speaking to a large crowd at Spai tanburg Friday night Gov. Bleas < v sneeringlv said if "poor old Tillman should die, Parker would go to th senate.

Before another issue of this pape is printed the primary eletcion wi! have taken place. Some will be elect ed and some defeated. , Too ba ' there are not enough offices to g round.

Cast your ballc for him next Tuesday and you wil make no mistake. Don't let friend ship stand in the way. No matte ' how good a friend you have who i a candidate, vote for the principle and not the men. If he doesn't ref resent your ideas of government h is not your choice and should not re ceive your ballot. ? Turkey Gobler Hatched Chicken and, Mothers Them. Mr. Geo. W.

Thinks this a responsible in position. Only man who could arlg rest sheriff. He closed by saying r- "Hurrah for Duncan, Jones and ( ik Blease, and on the 27th vote for me }y if you please." al J. H. Zeigler, the present incumb*e ent, was next speaker. Was not 1 " asking for re-election, as he was fill); ing out the unexpired term of the s, man that was elected four years ago. Had tried to do his duty and if elected would try to do so again. He < E- might have enemies but he was the enelny of no man. Was the first time ; he remembers having seen Mr. Fail. ts ^ Let others hold the jobs they had al and let him keep the one he had. (Crowd calls for song and joke.) g' Told the joke of the poor boy and 01 rich girl. If voters would send Cri- : o- der, Fail and All back home would sing the little song. 1tg J. B.

Asked to be re- i 5e membered on the 27th. i r- The candidates for County Com- 1 g" misisoners were the next speakers. )p H. W. Chitty being the first speak- ' n er introduced. He stated that he *e was in favor of good roads. In fa- 1 vor of road taxes going on the roads 1 nearest to the man who paid them. 1 ^ Feels as if he is going to be elected. 1 J. J. Zeigler came next. This was 1 = the first time he had ever asked for ^ office. No one could put their finger f on anything dishonorable that he 1 ;g had ever done. He closed by saying ^ that on the 27th walk to the polls ] with your ticket in your hand and ] be sure that Zeigler is the man. ] e G. W. Folk was the next speaker. 1 ?r Was asking for re-election. Have ] e studied the affairs of the county and done the best I could. Was in favor of good roads. Had had some experience in road building. The past " year had been an exceedingly bad r year on roads and bridges. Law had ' been changed and it was hard to dee cide the best way to use the money. Had to work in a hury. Thinks money should go back to township _ from which it came. Thinks he can*! e ! 1 do better in the future. His oppoe nents his friends. If you think he ^ has done his duty vote for him, and if you think others better fitted for the position vote for them. Would . be thankful for the support of all. , W. B. Smoak spoke next. Was ? born and raised in 3 Y2 miles of this place. Had been spoken of as a ' Bamberg candidate, was not but was ^ a Bamberg County candidate. Running race on own merits. Didn't e k think commutation road tax had been used right. Each dollar should go back on the public road ,r from which it came. Seventy-four U dollars had been paid on the road r. on which he lived and only a small d portion had been used there. Every0 body knew him, and it didn't matter e what he might say he didn't think he ,r could change any one's vote. L. W. P. Sandifer was the next >_ speaKer. ASKea ror support uu mo i merits. Was not slinging mud. Did l_ not want the office for what was in ,t it, but because he thought he could [1 be of benefit if elected, v Would stop l_ the habit of ploughing into the public r roads. Will do his duty if elected. s W. P. McMillan was the first :S speaker for the office of County Supervisor. Announced his candidacy e and said he would do his duty if elected. G. Brooks Kinard was the next speaker. Was scared when he spoke is here two years ago and was still a little scared. Thankful for past support. Tried to do the best he could. e Had done his best work in auditing l" claims. Had reduced county exT penses the first year but they had 0 gone back up during the past year. s On account of the flood had to work * in a hurry during the past year and e did not have time to study out best ^ plan for using the commutation road a tax. Would study out a better plan l". for using this money. Most importlS ant office in the gift of the people. A supervisor could ruin a county in 1 *r tn.A vaot-c oc f-Vioro wae nr> wav to 1 l?

Wants to punish the convicts 1 d by making them work. Will have 1 d best man for superintendent of chain 1 x gang. Gave his views as to how the roads should be worked. Sand and ] *r clay roads the only practical roads ] d for this county. Feels he is going to < be elected. i e E. C. Bruce was the next speaker. < is Was glad to welcome so many peo- 1 h pie to the town. Was opposed to i o hnnriiner the oountv for any purpose, i 11 Said he was a civil engineer and that 1 d he could save the county the expense 1 for one, at least $1,800, and would l be glad to use that amount on the 1 public highways. Could make good ; ^ practical roads of clay and sand for ] >t from $100 to $300 per mile, by using 1 drag quickly after rains. Mr. Kin- i ard's plan would take from 80 i 100 years to get over the county, a there were from 400 to 500 mile of public roads in the county. Sai this was no office of inheritance a was claimed by one of his opponents People knew who they wanted. Dui ing his former administration mos of his time had been spent in build ing new roads. At formation o county it was badly in debt. Owe $13,000 when he went into office and had between $10,000 and $11, 000 in the treasury when he wen out of office, making a savftig o twenty odd thousand dollars durin his administration. One of his oppc nents said at Denmark that there wa no wonder he had gotten the count out of debt, as he had used abou $8,000 of the dispensary fund eac; year. Opponent forgot to state tha at that time he only received a lit tie over $6,000 from the count; funds from a 3 mill levy, and no^ we receive from $16,000 to $17,00' Fvr?m q r? i/n mill lew. makinsr a dif ference of $2,000 to $3,000 in fa vor of the present administratior Told a joke and asked for the sup port of all. A. G. W. Hill was the next speak sr. Will devote all of his time t the work, and from three to fou days of every week would be spen with the chain gang. Was in favo Df having two road machines, as thi was the only way to keep up wit] the work. Was in favor of punish ing the convicts within reason b making ttiem work. The expendi ture of the commutation road ta: should be changed. Thinks a bette way can be found. Was no civil en ?ineer but could build as good road is anybody. Understood handlinj labor. Had worked convict labo for five years. Could control an; vind of labor. If I don't build mor roads and better roads than hav Deen built during the past two year [ will resign and refund my salary Bruce had had more money than oth srs and should have saved more Why didn't he run for sheriff again because he had been leA behind s< iar in the race for sheriff. Is goini :o be supervisor. Don't believe ii ;axing a man unless he gets some :hing in return for it. All he want s a fair and square deal. Vote fo lest man. H. C. Folk, candidate for the of ice of Master, was the next to ad Iress the voters. He commence! iy saying that it had been some tim< since he had tried to make a speech Told jOKe about the ass being th .veather profit. Said since that tim< ivery jackass in the country had beei vanting office. As he held two office ;n the county he felt as if he tya ihief. As he had no opposition fo ;he office of Master, felt that his ad ninistration must have been satis 'actory. Makes, defence of himsel as county chairman of the charg nade against him at Denmark by on* )f the candidates for the House o Representatives, who in the cours if his remarks at that place said h< and another candidate were bein; supported by the Blease men, not be ?ause there was a slate, but be lause both had always been lo lal optionists. Folk then aske< :he question if the candidate fo ;he House of Representative di< lot know that all of the candidate 'olr governor were in favor of loca ipuon? Said this man claimed theri vas no issue except the one mad' iv County Chairman H. C. Folk This man claimed that he (Folk) ha< )een running around crying, Jones Tones! Jones! and trying to fore* sveryone to follow him into the Jone ;amp. Had not tried to force peopl ;o follow him. As to his trying t< force people it was necessary t< ;all back to Haskell days. Spok< )f meeting in town hall hen luring those trying days. Ha< stood by the Democrats then an< jver since, and would always do so Spoke of the fight made for prohibi Jon in this county a few years ago md what he had done to help de feat it then, because he did not thinl t the best thing. Had made ene ni^p by his stand then, as he wa irrayed against some of his bes friends, but had had experience witl prohibition and did not think i ivould do. Had not fought it in th< ast election as in the first. By th< iefeat of prohibition the first tim< :here had gone into the treasury o :he county from $35,000 to $40,000 EJad been supported at that time b; :he same man who now said that hi was trying to force the people t< rote for Jones. Don't think that mai (the candidate for the House o Representatives) thought then tha tie was trying to force the people t< 3o anytning. He claims there is m issue. I think there is. When thi ?hief executive says "To hell wit! the constitution," what does i mean? If an officer in the arm; should say to hell with the flag, wha would become of that officer? Hi would be shot. It was just as wroni tor the chief executive to say "to hel with the constitution," as it was fo an officer to say to hell with the flag He also mentioned the King am Watson episode in Columbia, am asked if the voters thought our live I Res i s II it will p. - || rexall s * o receivin t h the best h the sign t display!: service ' y VDTT WIN1 r "W*. ?- " ?? ? y issue between right and wrong. I e said if the people thought Blease w e the best man, to vote for him, ai s if they thought Jones the best ma ; to vote for him, but to vote as the . heart dictated. Had made these r l# marks in reply to the charges mai against him at Denmark. He clos< 0 amid the greatest applause of t] 5 day. a G. A. Jennings, candidate f - treasurer, was the next to come fc s ward. Said he also felt as if he hi r long ears. Said he was going to t to disappoint his hearers by tryi] _ to make a speech. Said he was i . speaker but was a worker. Said 1 3 was not so pious as his opponent, b g had a good heart. Said he loved 1 preacher and his doctor, as the dc e tor tried to save him on this ear e and the preacher on the earth come. Always tried to pay the s promptly. Spoke of his having wor s ed for the late Gen. F. M. Bamber r Had been working for good men f . the past 40 years, 35 of which hi _ been in stores, and during that tir f had never had any unpleasantnes e Carter says to let him continue e work for them, but is tired />f th f kind of work.

Spoke of having to 3 the Rev. McMillan that he looki s better in the pulpit than anywhe I else and that he should have his pi e ture made while there, and of tl 5 Rev. McMillan having replied- i stoutly that he would if he (Je j nings) would stand on one side ai I R. W. D. Rowell would stand on tl a other. Said he an. Rowell wou s make a great team. Would be he e all the time, and had no interest f 3 away. Where* a man's greate 3 treasure was there also would be h 5 mind and heart. Was a good fan 3 er, telling of his experience aloi 1 that line. Had helped to put o i Leslie out of business. Spoke of h l# helping during the old Ellenton ric _ If anyone can point to one dishonc , able act of his he would withdra _ from the race. c J. H. A. Carter was the next - make his plea for support. Felt s delicacy in speaking at the home t his opponent, Jennings. He ai i Jennings were the best of friend t Wouldn't do anything dirty for tl e office. In speaking of the great m< g whom Jennings had worked f e hadn't meant anything disrespect!' f Only meant that there must be som . thing wrong for his leaving the y great men. Didn't think it right th e Jennings should leave these m< 3 now, but should continue to work f i them. Jennings had to apply to on f one to get a job, when he had to j t all around and then didn't get d School teaching work was just as u 3 satisfactory as office work. Let Je e nings stay with the rich men and gi1 a him the office of treasurer. Spol t of his being next to the last man y the lower edge of this county, ai t for that reason had been alluded e as next to the lowest down man y thp rnnntv.

It was le tis for the people to decide whether < ?c- not it was a joke as to him runnir th for this office, as claimed by Walke to Said that after the 27th Walk< m would never be heard of in politi k- *again. Would live his alloted tin g. out and see Walker in his politic or grave. Closed amid great cheers. W. H. Walker was the next on tl Qe roll. He changed things a litt 5S- by saying gentlemen and fello t? friends, instead- of gentlemen and fe at low citizens. Says that if he mac rs as sorry an officer as Harmon 1 would resign. Harmon had sa er nothing at the previous five meetini :e' as to the duties of the office. If yt it had a man working for you that wj as careless with your business ; C1 Harmon is witn tne rroDaie juuge office you would kick him out. W1 ^ is Harmon? You all know who 3(* am. Harmon does not know whe: re he came from himself. Harmon we: IC" into business at Bamberg when 1 first came to this county and the n" went into bankruptcy, and there n" where he got his start.
