ffEpff Jeremiah Smith Puts Leading Questions THEY ARE I3ARD TO ANSWER His Pardon Record,?sCharge of Social Equality,---The King-Watson Incident,?Blease and the Railroads,? The Horry Court Fiasco,?Many Hard Nuts for lileaseiies to Crack. Editor Herald: As the primary system for nominating Candidates in this State is regarded as an educational system, and as I hear some Candidates and some other voters say they are not attempting to defend Gov. Blouse's recoru, Out tnao they do indorse some things he has done; I desire to ask them, one and ail, ii they endorse his retaining Mr Stothert, State Coust idle, after it has been proved beyond cjhiraaiction that instead of discharging his sworn duty as a .Suite officer, he has used bis official influence in the collection of Graft 11uui the blind tigers, and then refuses to fell anything as to the detaiis'of his transactions, as to th-5 distribution of the Graft wheu collected, because it might incriminate hiin. Will tb?3y give us some rea-sou whv toe Governor #!?ould keep ibis man in offije under {.been cirou'nsti.jcea'i' Oj they endorse tne Governor'a action wheu Lie commissioiia Mr 13 jar J as djpuoy State CoQStaoie, arms mm wuu an auto* matic piatuiat the expen-e of cue public Treasury, to accompany hirn as a Budy Guard through tne State Caf.np.iigu?

If our Legislative Delegation should pa-sS an act that taxed the county $1200 00 with no beneficial results to tne county, would we send them back? If not, then whjv endorse Mr. BJease's record? Does the Governor's ineuds CLdjrse the chai tie iiio.de by him that Judge Jones favors social equably? If they dn wiil some oi tDem please explain why the Governor voted lor Jones in his election lor Speaker of the House ol Kepresentanves, ana for the Senate as well as for Oniei Justice of the Suprems Court? Wuy will he not explain his previous votes for Jones although Le has been frequently asked to do so? 1 agree wub Senator Til man when he says nobody but. a fo J oolieveb Judge Jones stands for social equality, so according to Senator Tilinan, if the Governor believes the accusations he brings against the Judge is true, theu he is a fool and if he does not believe it tnen he wilfully misrepresents the Judge. Does the Governor's Iriends tndorse his charges against the Legislature, when two ihirus of the De gislature, which is supposed to be intelligent citizens, insist up jn certain Acts wtnch the.y believe would foster the material, Industrial, and Educational interests of the State, and Mr Biease charges them with being uniaithful to their trust? Why do they endorse his charges and repudiate the whole body of their chosen Representatives? When he * - ! 1 d ~ .1 4 . vetoes certain Acts mienueu to help the schools and the poorer class of our ciiizeus claiming econo my as nis ox oust; and at trie same time recommends that $900,1)00 00 be spent on the State House, wnich of those Acts do they endorse, the veto or the recommendation? J)u bis friends endorse his tureat at Charleston of executive punishment if they voted for Jones and do they endorse his threat at Camden, to make them sweat olood if he is not elected? If we are to be subject to such unmetctful punishment in case of his defeat what may we expect in case he is elected? Do his friends expect to intimidate the entire citizenship of the State and drive us to bis support regardless of tne record he has made? Do his friends endorse the prostitution of the Educational feature of the primary, to the depths of degradation and shame to which the present primary is being conducted, by which the decent sensibilities of ou. citizenship is being humiliated, and the future existence of the primary jeopardized? Now, Mr Ed itor, all the foregoing questions should nave been respectfully / answtredin the primary, but as l|/ t they have not, I as one citizen, not \ candidate, but a p artner and stock holder in the Qovei nrnent of South Carolina, have submitted the above questions in order to drag out, if possible, an imixassionate ard intelligeni answer, or explanation of the record to which those questions refer, If Judge Jones while Chief Jus tice of the Supreme Court, was the pliant tool of the .Railroad Company that Blease represents him to be, why does the Raiiroad Company now fight the Judge, and use every influence tbev can control in the interest of Blease? Why do they drop their friend and endorse their adversary? Dies not the straps - '? - ! - -1 L. 1 show which way ido winu uiuwb. Respectfully Submitted, Jeremiah Smith. Conway, Aug. 16, 1U12. CAMPAIGN SPEECH Of Hon. L B Sinleton as Delivered in the Prerent County Canvass After four year's service as .your representative iu the Legislature I come before you as a caudidate for the Senate, and ain standing upon my record as your ser/ant. For the last two years I held a po sition on one of the most important Committees of the House, and this necessitated my ircquent absence from the regular sessions. 1 accord ingly have no excuses to make for aiy absence. 1 was always fouud presen and voting when Horry's interest was at staue. I stand for a liberal appropriation fpr the Free Common schools, and will continue to advocate longer terms and better school buildings for Horry County, It shall bo my purpose to increase the efficiency of tne Boys' Corn Clubs and the Girls' Tomato Clubs, as well as the Farm Demonstration Work?al| of wmcb I had the honor of assisting in establishing in this County. I regard this an in >pportuae time to adopt the 4 No fence law," as I believe a change just now would work a great hardship ou many of our citizjns. I am bitterly opposed to it, and beg to caution our people ~ ?r -?ti,.rr f/tr hd v man wnn m-iv b'-i int lined to advocate the stock law, or for any man who is being championed oy the friends of the &ch me. 1 advocate a better system of roads for tne county. Kverybody concedes that the Kingston Bake undge should be built or repaired, and mat the Waccamaw br.dge bo mude useful to iuo people living across the river. But I am unalteraoiy opposed to taking the people's mouey and constructing a shell road to M., rtie Beach for the benelit of a few land owners, and the management of a Summer xesort Hotel. My opponent does not deny that he voted for a resolution in a ma^smeeitng asking the County Board to construct this road. He cannot aery that he is a stockholder in the Burroughs & Collins Co., and that he is vitally interested in the construction of ihis road. He cannot 1 ana does not denj that he individually owns property iu the proximity ot' the old bridge and accordingly is opposed $ j its roujoval. No wonder that he tells you he wants a Hoard to work in harmony with the buperyisor, and carry out the instruction contained in these resolutions and build the road to his property 1 promise you that I will never give my consent to spending the peoples' money in building shell roads simply to inhauce the property of a few individuals and corporations owned or controled by my opponent. I am a friend of Governor Blease and am giving him mr hearty support for re-election. The opposition to him in this county has lost all hopes of defeating him iu the Primary. And their last and only hope now i to send up a delegation to Columbia who are opposed to him, and who will frustrate his administration. In this they propose to block all legislation advanced in the interest of the farmer and the labor ing classes. I especially warn ail our cit /,3ns not to be caught in this well set trap. I ac:k you to go to the po:!s and vote for the man of your choice. Vote for the man who stands for the principles you advo cate. Vote for the mac who will siand hv vou in maintaining vour ? i - r-> u fences and supporting your Governor. I come to you as an humble citizen I have not had the advantages of my fn< n 1, Mr. Buck. I have not been reared|in the lap of luxury, , but my life nas been one full.of.siu gles In this race I have no experienced politician to haul me around in his automobile and to conduct my campaign. IJbave no shrewd demagog ' to prepare and write ray speeches. 1 have no half-million dollar cor poration to finance my campaign. | Neither do I have the backing of all the Gunks and corporations of this county shouting for my election. I come to you relying solely upon you, the rank and file of the common peo pie, to see that I get justice at the polls, and that you get a man in the Senate who will represent your interests.

Five or six doses will break any case of Chills and Fever, and if taken then as a tonic the Fever will not return It acts on the liver better than Calomel and does not gripe or sicken, Price 25e. 4 m Oct 29. I Speech of H. L. Buck. (Continued from First Page.) My opponent bays that he stands upon his record He says to use his own words: "if elected I shall endeavor to serve you as I have serv ed you heretofore,"?' 'cant serve you any better." Mr W. J. Bryan says, "that every public official is a public servant? and the p ople whom he serves have alright to review his record. That truth will vindicate itself, error only fears free speech." That every public official who conscientiously does his duty as he sees it, should not deny the people whom he serves the right to criticise his official conduct." He is also making his tight upon his loyalty and support of Governor Blease. Singleton's Record.
