J ' Ul_ -1-i' ??
11 im yiuuunii as ionows:
An Issue before the people of this
State is that of safe guarding the
primary elections. The constitution
of 18 95 restricted the suffrage so as
to eliminate, us far a spracticable, the
negro vote. Questions between the
Ajf whites were to be settled by a friendly
family fight in the primaries, in
which every white man, who was not
barred by the constitutional and statutory
provisions, was to vote. Under
theso conditions differences among
the whites were settled, but being a
sort of family affair, no rigid rules
were made or practised.
? The rules governing primary elections,
loose as they were, were often
disregarded, until it became the custom
to let them go in almost any
way. When differences arose and
feeling ran high, and distrust of each
other crept in, dissatisfaction with
prevailing methods was manifested
f> and charges and countercharges of
irregularities and illegal voting wdre
made. White mens' differences must
be nettled fairly. Party feeling and
nreiudico often eniiKOfl mr?n in ilium.
gard exact justice and fairness. Under
our present party rule the party
elections are loosely conducted and
? abundant opportunity exists for re
peating and illegal voting.
Wo should adopt such changes in
our party rule as will insure to every
man to vote once, but to vote but
once. It should be made impossible
to permit repeating or to allow nonresidents
and citizens not entitled to
^ vote to kill the votes of South Carolinians
whose right and prerogative
) it la to vote. We should see to it
that only living South Carlinians be
' allowed to vote, and each man only
( once, in order that the primary may
(L be preserved and not destroyed.
I shall advocate such changes in
^ assessment and taxation as shall
r. ? more fairly distribute the burdens of
taxation, and make more equal assessments,
and with exemptions of
small homes in town, and a home and
* small farms of limited acreage, and
I shall advocate such laws as will
promote ownership of homes in town,
and a home and small farms in the
S country. I shall advocate a land registration
bill and encouragement to
rural credits, warehousing of cotton,
better marketing of crops, accurate
grading of cotton, and protection
from fraud or adulteration of fertilizers,
which will protect the farmer
and honest fertilizer manufacturer;
A and by makine life on the farms mere
T " w
profitable and more pleasant and
1 comfortable, many of our problems
will be solved In a safe and sane
manner. Self-protection, and the solution
of rural problems, which con
front us, require attention to these
I matters.
* I wish to stress the Importance of
) I the application of good business
1 methods to the administration of all
| of the affairs of our State. I believe
, In efficiency with economy. The governor
can, by close study and attention
to the affairs of the various institutions
of the State, insure economy
and greater effectiveness with
f A an ever widening development, and,
if elected, I will give to my State a
f clean, progressive business adminis)
tration.
y I favor education at public expense.
South Carolina stands nearly
i bottom of the list in the percentage
[ of illiteracy. I shall never be satis^
< fled until this percentage of illiter'
acy is reduced. We have made groat
progress in our educational system,
! more and more money is being spent
| for the cause of education. As a
^ parent can not spend his money bet- ,
tor than by educating his child, so
the State can not spend its money
better than by educating the citizen.
I favor the maihtenance and support
of institutions of higher learning,
; and provisions for their growth and
^ development to meet growing needs,
but I emphasize the needs of the
public schools. A liberal appropriation
should bo made by the State of
a fund tc upplement the funds for
the school raised locally?thus to en- 1
;A worse and to encourage the spirit of ;
i self help.
An educated citizenship ic the real
justification for public education. We
must make parents realize the neccscity
for education. That sentiment 1
must bo so strong as to f^rce parents j
I to send their children to school.
When a community reaches that '
point almost all of the white children
will be in school, and a law requiring
\ attendance upon school by all chil\
dren between certain ages will be ef- 1
\ fectlve, and as soon as it is shown 1
that a county can have adequate 1
( school facilities. I would favor com- <
pulsory education, with the local option
feature, because any law to be
effective must be supported by publio
sentiment. Mere legislation is
not a cure-all.
I want to be frank yith you, my
friends and neighbors. I want to be
equally frank with my fellow citizens
throughout the State who do not
know me as well as you do?I will
not sail under false colors?I want
all voters to know where I stand on
public questions. I want peace restored
in South Carolina. This statement
I made months ago. and have
had no reason to change it. I want
good will, good feeling. I want to
see factional politics relegated to the
past.
I want the people to unite in advocating
the policies which will build
up our State, improve and uplift the
character of the citizen and give op
portunity to better conditions. I
shall not, unless forced to do so, recognize
the existence of two factions
in this State. I have many friends
and supporters who voted for Blease
and many who voted for Jones. In
the governor's race let us drop the
personalities of the past and, looking
ahead, take up those questions
which affect the Interest and welfare
of the people.
It is, however, only from for me
to state so that all many understand
me and my attitude that I have never
been a follower or supporter of Gov.
Blease, nor have I approved his
course. Some have attempted to inject
the issue of Bleaseism into tho
gubernatorial race. While I do not
agree with them in this, if the same
is persisted in, then my attitude is
known and is as stated. I will have
no fear In meeting such an issue.
If elected governor I promise to
bo tho governor of all the people,
and not of those only who supported
me. I pledge myself to do justly and
to love mercy and to uphold and
maintain tho honor and. dignity of
South Carolina.

Wilson Tells How He Decides Upon
His Public Servants.
President Wilson recently enunciated
the principle by which he
chooses public servants, declaring the
first requisite was a spirit of justice
and fairness. He said he believed
the best results came from choosing
those who would consider questions
fairly rather than those who would
decide questions in a certain way.
The president remarked to him that
it seemed that justice was the thing
in the world to obtain and required
more courage and conscience than
any other one thing.

Decrease in Customs Receipts for the
Past Nine Months Reaches Twenty- |
five Millions.
Figures were made public in a *
treasury department statement Wednesday
night showing that customs
revenues during the fiscal year, which
ends June 30, 1914, almost certainly
will meet and probably will exceed
the estimates made when congress
passed the new tariff law. The Statement,
prepared by Assistant SecreM..
**211 2? - * -
tiny lviiiuurn, in cnarge or customs,
j i E
said:
?
"It was estimated that receipts ^
from customs for the fiscal year 1914, ^
which included three months under
the tariff act of 1909 and nine j
months under the present tariff act, j
approved October 3, 1913, would ,
amount to $270,000,000, resulting in (
a loss of $49,000,000 from the customs
receipts of the previous year.
"The total customs collections for j
the nine months just ended amount- (
ed to $225,500,000, showing a loss
for the nine months' period of $24,- f
750,000 compared with the collec- (
tions for the same period during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1913. As
this loss is only one-half of the esti- .
mated loss for the whole year, it is (
proable the the Juno 30, 1914, will
exceed the estimate.
"The loss in revenue during the .
months of January and February,
191.4, amounted in round numbers to (
$0,000,000 and $10,000,000, respectively.
The customs receipts for the
month of March show a loss of but '
$1,5 00,0 00 and a recovery of receipts .
as compared with February of this
year of over $8,000,000. i
"In view of the above figures it
now appears that a monthly average (
of less than $15,000,000 for April, ,
May and June, the remaining three (
months of the present fiscal year, ^
would bring the total of customs re
ceipts up to 1270,000,000, the original
estimate for this fiscal year. It '
is proablo that receipts for the three
remaining months will exceed this
average of $15,000,000 and that the j
total receipts for the fiscal year will
run over the estimate of $270,000,- (

HEARS CASE AGAIN
11XJK SMITH RKC\>XSII>KRS SYRIAN
NATURALIZATION OASE.
MUCH INTEREST AROUSED
? ?
Nation Wide Interest Has Roen
Aroused Over Recent Decision,
Which Was Greeted With Severe
Condemnation by Syrians Because
of of Misunderstanding.
Great interest has been aroused
ill over this country by a recent decidon
of Judge H. A. M. Smith, in the
Jnited States District Court at Chareston.
Judge Smith refused a certiIcate
of naturalization to George
low, a Syrian, on tho ground that
10 was not eligible under the act of
L7 90. The newspapers of tho State
erroneously reported that tho naturalization
papers were refused because
if race, but this is wrong as tho folowing
article from The News and
Courier will show.
Only informal consideration was
siven Wednesday to tho matter of another
hearing upon tho petition for
laturalizatiou. It was agreed that
Judge Smith is to file a second opinion
upon tho case, and should it be
the same in effect as the lirst, the
matter will be taken before the Supreme
Court of tho United States foi
final decision. To look after its end
:if the case, tho Syrian-American
dub of New York has retained counsel.
At the hearing there was Dr
NT. A. Mokarzel, editor of tho leading
Syrian newspaper of this country
published in New York city, appear
3d in a strictly informal capacity and
Look part in the discussion.
It is doubtful if any decision ol
the judge of a United States District
Court in recent years has aroused
such a manifestation of racia
pride as has the decision handed
clown in the George Dow case bj
Judge Smith something more than a
month ago. In denying naturalization
papers to Dow, Judge Smltli
held that a Syrian was not eligible
to citizenship under the construction
Df the statute of 17 00, which provided
that only "free white persons'
should be admitted to citizenship
Judge Smith explained, however, thai
he did not intend to imply by hit
decision that a native of Syria it
ether than a white man, but that ai
the time of the passage of the statut<
ef 1790 the country of Syria wai
unknown to the lawmakers of thli
country and that, therefore, the ac
did not apply to natives of that coun
try.
A mistaken impression of Judge
Smith's decision gained currency im
mediately following its promulgatioi
Eind the entire Syrian population o
the United States was aroused to t
pitch of indignation. Syrian publica
tions in their editorial columns ve
hemently condemned the decision o
Judge Smith, as they incorrectly un
derstood it, and prominent men o:
the race sought to air their indigna
tion through non-Syrian papers anc
in other ways. It was pointed oui
that there are thousands of Syrian!
who have been admitted to citizen
ship by other judges in recent years
and the interesting question is as tc
what would be the status of these
naturalized Syrians in case the dec!
3iOIl of Judeft Smith u-na
o w ^ ? v iimu Hi
i precedent.
The Syrian-American club of Nov,
Vork city became interested in the
Dow decision because of the bearinp
it had on the future of the Syrians
in America. Steps were taken to flic
\ protest beforo Judge Smith, and i1
was stated that the case would be
taken to the Supreme Court if the do ision
is.affirmed by Judge Smith. T1
s quite possible that the highest tribunal
in the land may yet be called
ipon to decide the matter, since the
Syrian organization is prepared tc
^arry the case up immediately after
the filing of the second opinion by
fudge Smith.
Having obtained the prevailing in;orrect
understanding of the ruling
>f Judge Smith on the Dow case Dr.
J. A. El-Kourie, a prominent Syrian
>f Birmingham, several weeks ago
>aid a visit to Charleston for the ex>ress
purpose of appearing before
Tudge Smith with arguments to route
the statement that a Syrian was
lot a white man, as he at the time
inderstood the decision. He had a
onference with Judge Smith with the
esult that ho became convinced that
he decision was not based upon ra1.
1 j -- *
mi prejudice, cut mat tno point at
ssue was geographical Instead of
thnological. Ho prevailed upon
udge Smith to order a rehearing of
ho entire caso and the dato originaly
selected for this was April 6, but
or reasons it was postponed until
ecently. After discussion it was deided
that a formal reargumont of
he caso was unnecessary and the
ciatter will rest until Judgo Smith
lies a second opinion.
The nature of this socond opinion
s a matter of country-wide interest,
ot only to Syrians of the United
itates, but to lawyers and Judges as
, whole. In case his first decision is
eaftlrmed by Judgo Smith the cazo
