The state campaigners, according

quite a large gathering of citltens. t
The speaking was e.n the city park, t
The Times reporter did not hear Mre.; t
Wallace, who was one of the two la- j
dies running for state superintendent i
of education. From all accounts she r
sustained her reputation which had
preceded hor for making1 a clear-cut! L
strong speech. The following is a j c
brief summary and by no mean-; n -
complete synopsis:
Supt. of Eviucation
,f. E. Swcarir.gen, superintendent j j
of education fcr a number of years,, c

equal opportunity for every child in j
the state. ( t
Mrs. Bessie Rogei-s Drake, candi- j
date for Supt. of Education, of Bennettsville,
makes a good personal ap-' j,
peurance and speaks well. As a | |
teacher and mother feels that she is .
qualified and has a duty to perform. ^
Endorsed hv alumnae of Winthrop ' .,
College. Texas and Montana already G
have women at the head of education- J a
al system and yet they have forged , f
to the front. Eighty-six per cent of ; 0
the "teachei's are women. Believes ,
the state should be the unit in pub- a
lie education instead of the commu- t
nity. Good applause. fi

toivod hearty applause. Was em- s
ployed by a book publishing firm but a
advocated no changes in text books v
at this time of depression. Yet more s
than one-half of the books were t
changed, and in many instances there a
are duplicate text books. For three ^
weeks Mr. Swearingen has been v
sleeping and hobnobing with a book
agent. The present superintendent is t
not in touch with the legislature and
hence does not get the apportionment e
which you need. ! t
O. D. Seay, of Richland, has been ^
a teacher for many years and is a 0
self-made man. Has served in every n

on his record. Found more rec- J
crd work in office than was necessary
and found it necessary to have more
funds to l'earrange work. IIe pursued
the latter course. If defeated will ?
carry the consciousness that he ^
formed the duties of his office and d d
it well. | J

for 1C years. Stands for a clean go , 5

because he is qualified by experience c
in banking, insurance and bookkeep- *

B. M. Winter, of Berkeley, worked

years has represented his county m
legislature. What we need is an active
campaign against crime led by.
attorney general seeking conviction1
of criminals. This campaign cannot;
be carried out by man opposed to cap-, \

Walter E. Duncan of Aiken seeks *
reelection. Office is disbursing office 1

office. t
Mr. Gooding of Hampton formerly !
auditor of his county. Seeks office at- 1

opposed by county senator and not re- i
appointed by Governor Cooper. Is
opposed to tax commission.
Commissioner of Agriculture.
George W. Whiteman, of Saluda, |
state senator from his county. Offered,
resolutions in favor of economy and is *
known t?? ''Battle Axe Senator." Duty
of office is to see that all get pure
food, just weights and honest
measures and inspect need.
B. Harris seeks reelection to the
office. He knows the people of Union
and they know him and he does not
have to give an account of his stewardship
here. Sixty-eight out of
every hundred farmers are bankrupt
but a better day is ahead if they will
act intelligently. World is face to I
face with a cotton famine, and it '
is wise to hold cotton.

RAIL COMMISSION
TO HANDLE COAL
Following a conference yesterday
in which Governor Harvey, Frank
-.henIv, i liairman of the railroad
onunission, mid B. K. Uccr, recently
appointed fuel administrator fur the
state, participated, it was announced
that the rpilmad commission would
handle all matters pertaining to the
allotment, distribution and transportation
of coal in South Carolina as
originally contemplated.
The matter of an equitable price to
the ultimate consumer will still be
handled by Mr. Geer and his commit^ee,
which will likely be enlarged.
In reaching a definite agreement to
'.How the railroad commission to
handle the main part of the work
M was thought this would work to
lie best interests of all parties convened.
The plan as agvn.d n- m yo iter
lay '"lif the origin! 'dan as ach pte.l
by the governor and Chnii man
Shen'y, but acting upon telegraphic
tdvices from Secretary Hoover Mr
Iter's committee lias assumed gene
d snpei vision c.t' ?he entire coal -itu
at ion.
Under the ago -enienl Mr. llcer't
i.iot.dttee will simply look into the
i v. as wn;i originally announced,
.ml will have nothing to do with the
distribution, nl'?>tmeit and transpor
lation.
In the nieati*Mi - eoal supply i?
indliiig and a yam I rush is being
nde to get what is on hand, :o ord
l?? the railroad loiuniission. riany
inquests for coal were .eceived yes
erdav by the commission.
The (Jeer committee had 110 de
lived authority and no prescribed law
to work under and no working force
to operate through, consequently it
was handicapped in its efforts.
