WHALEY. AS HIS FRIENDS zrjuzTj candidate for congress tfrt-d the service of the State of South Carolina as a representative in its Genera) Assembly from leston County, be has'been a promi nent* far tor in the 'V affair* of tbe State, ills activity, bis recognised, U ability and hit> capacity for makinff friends is evidenced by the record he made for himself in the eleven years of service in the House of Represen tatives. After a Sinpie term he *as appointed chairman of the most pow erful committee namely: the Com- mittee on Jud’ciarV. a post which conus to the ordinary legislator only i after many \er.rs of ser\i<e in the j ranks of that icmmittoe. After four yearr. as chairman of that ooramittee '* Whaley - was choren Speaker of the House in a contest with four men from the r s-otior.s of the State, ' at a time when Charleston waW poll- tically almost s< vere.i from tho resf. the ^tare. Mr Whaley was the first Speaker from the lower parts of South Carolina a 17 year:-; and a most notable f> a:c:e of h>R term of oflhe was the si:««ess which marked his efforts to remove the 'eeling of hostility towards the Low .Country whi^i existed at the time. And yet. this vias accomplished without saeri- Hcing the interests of the oastai 'i counties. For a reference to his com mittee appointments w.ll show that e\cry important icnmittee under Mr Whaley’s Fpea'-tersh.n contains a •?ood per<in;ag»‘ o' iuembers rep- ree-nting the Ccasta! and P«*e Dee counties. In 1010. for business rt asons. Mr Whaley did not stand ‘cr re-tU<tion. but in 1912 he aga.n ertere.! the primary as a candidate for member ship in‘the Houre of Repr» sentatives The appreciation of his home people for his services is well shown by the HIM) v \ - * * i w rMta'vmmi rr—m National Biscuit Company \ - ’ \ Crackers, A Fresh Line Just Received • ** > AT C.

A review of Mr Whaley’s work in the Legislature would be lencthy and is urne<ossary. His at hieveraents have been many and material. What he h.is done is a matter of record and jc > t.amination of this *ili tkow that fact that with twenty candidates In I he ha? «onKistently been n friend of the race he was elected in the first , the farmer and of the laboring man. primary w ith more than CbO votes j Reft rnng solely to the record ses- to spare, receiving the highest ^lum-1 aio’i of the Legislature, his aMivity ber of votes of any candidate in the ■ and uterest in the cause of pood roads and of drainage will be testified to by every one interested in this r.K-\rnu-nt in Uharlcston County and nti ther shown b> the sp rt eij,.| two- inill good roads tax leVy for Charles ton County and by the Whaley 11*11 for a State Highway Commission. These are matters of record and not mere claims. Mr Whaley has been a consistent Democrat from the day when he caet his first vote, and his services have received recognition from the party, both State and National. His acti vity in behalf of the nomination and election of President Wilson, the prominent part he took in the Haiti- more’Clonventlon, his sevyice as South Carolina's representative op the com mittee which notified Woodrow Wil son of his nomination and finally hi* having been chosen as one-of tbe State’s representatives mi tM t!on committee of the Inaagaval'i monies, all have thrown him Is per sonal contact with the leader* ef the party, from the President to e*my active member of the National Dem ocratic Committee, inclndlaff mam '■ bera of Cabinet. If there he any thing to be gotten from Congreaff or from tne Prealdent or from the sev eral deportments for the First Booth Carolina District a man of Mr Wha ley’s position will assuredly get It quicker and in more liberal Propor tions than one who la merely paa^^ sively acceptable or persona, no* grata with some of the leaders. Whil** a successful lawyer with a large practice, Mr Whaley has never been whnt is termed a corporation lawyer. On the contrary, a large proportion of his practice is among the poorer and middle classes who are securing their homes through the medium of the Hullding & Loan Associations—the poor man’s home builder. He is also one of the chief prombters and a director of tiro -Poor man’s Bank”. There Is no doubt' that it is to tho interest of this Congressional Dis trict that Mr Whaley he elected to represent It in the Hal’s of t ongress. le is the most active, the most able, the strongest and most popular can didate in the field. Being a worker and always on the job the Navy yard, •i> he pride of the District, will be ab solutely safe In IDs keeping as far as its maintenance and expansion is concerned: nothing in tfcat direction will be overlooked by him for there s none who has a greater Interest in its enlargement than he has. The in- n to*est o? ia- *r will tw» safe in ms hands. He Is pledged to try by all means that are fair to get the Gov ernment interested ip-draining the * o low lands of the Southern State* in general and of South Carolina in particular on some such basis as It now assists Ip ^ Irrigation of the arid lands of the West.
