ELIRE STATES HISM?FOl Announces the Things For Which Kc Stands as Candidate For Mayor To the Voters of Anderson: As .a candidate fer mayor of "Our Town'", I beg to say thal I'm for the continued progress ami upbuilding of Anderson. There aro a few special things that 1 beg to say tiiat I P.m for or against. - ril'bl ?jt ail. i (t?^^^V*M*^?iSBu ship of a high moral tone. The moral tone of our city should he an in spiration to the youth uf the city and not a temptation. I favor the enforcement of our state and city laws.. I favor a clean city for our wives and children, and while we arc building a progressive city, let's safeguard the lives of the rising generation by removing from them all the temptations that we can. So far. as possible, let's have purity, perfec tion and progress. I favor an economical, yet progr?s rive business administration. There are rome places in our city govern ment where expenses can he cut. Too Many City Clerks, i One for Instance, we don't need two clerks at the city hall, and if elected, I will use my influence to reduce this expense, and there are other places that expenses can be reduced. I favor the extension of the sewer age system in every part of the city. I think this ls highly important. I favor the enforcement of reasonable sanitary rules and regulations, but not to thc extent of working hardships up on our people. I am opposed to sanitary ordinances of an unusual, or drastic nature. I favor the removal of our city barns and stables to the quarry lot, now owned by the city on Eeast Market street. The stables are veritable, fly incubators, and in Jurtice to the, people of the Immediate neighborhood and to the people of the city gener ally. I think they should bc removed from the business district of the city. The barns and stables at thc city hall are in bad repair, and will bave to be replaced by new buildings In the near future. > I favor having them built on thc quarry Jot. I favor keeping thc fire department pp to. its present high standard of ef ficiency, and the inauguration of a full paid department when the city gets financially able. Favors Street 1'uving. ; . I favor permanent street paving and Anderson will not make thc forward progrers that she is'entitled to until we get more paving of a permanent nature. When we get this tho dust problem will be settled to a large ex tent;. On the franchise matter, my posi tion ls well known by all. I objected to the 40 year water and light fran chise granted by City Council on Feb-' roary 10thrl9i4rt? the Southern Pub lic Utilities Company to thc utmost limit as an alderman. I refer to the city dork's record of council proceed ings on above dato and you will see hpw aaa by whom granted. Also .you. will see that I. wanted this fran chico ratified, by the votert of the city, but this was denied y oil by' a majority of Council. Will Give Square Deal. While I contend that this franchise was illegally granted, this Is' not for me to decide. If I am elected, I will do all ' in my. power to see that the Southern Public Utilities Company lives tb Its contract, yet at the time I believe in giving a fair; square deal. I am not opposed to the Southern Public Utilities Company nor any other corporation, but I am in favor of our city being protected in every rea sonable way possible In dealing- with them. If elected, I will maintain an office at the city hall and will have regular office hours lo transact busi ness pertaining to the city each day, apd will give my time necessary. to the duties of the Mayor's office. In studying my record as an alder man of your city in order to decide whether or not in your opinion that record indicates that I am worthy of your support and vote, for thc high er office qt mayor, I think it but fair to ask that you carefully and serious ly examine my whole record and not merely a particular part of it that perhaps does not meet with your ap proval. * -lb my'service'of two years, there were dozens of Important ques tions to consider and decide about which mon may honestly differ. In deciding some of them 1 may have majje mistakes aa all men do? when confronted with many and dif ficult problems. At the. same time I ask that you. place in one .side of the ocal OJ the things you think were mis taker., and In. the other the things ad vocated by me that you think were, wise'add for the best interests of the whole people and then decide the question of 'my' fitness and, quail tl ca ? lions tor the office. '"'-..' - ?'. . His Past Record. ' if Will bc cohceded by all thought ful citizens - that the city council Ot which 1 cm a member has probably had to consider ami deicide more raK. por?arjt ,qi$2U*jrifl tLaii ?>.y other city council on account of tho pity's rapid growth a?d expansion, and therefore, I say that you .remember this when'' you examine my ?wo year's service. 3ffi'?yW'Vr^#,? rna* Who has had ff grear deal iS do^mlbt ot course; mak? more mistakes than the man who has very J itt In to ?do and yet' tho man who^aitempti to. dp much may make a better record/w^pite of, his mistakes. .'

"DETECTIVES" LEFTSENECfl WORKED UP CASES AGAINST ALLEGED BLIND TIGERS OF THE CITY NUBIAN ROCKED Negro Who Bought Liquor for Detectives Had To Hurry To Get Aboard the Train J. L. Ashburn, n detective working for some bureau in Columbia, was in the city yesterday returning from Seneca where he had been working up up some cases against alleged blind tigers. Mr. Ashburn reports that tho hospitality of the city was very limited for the people up that way seemed in a hurry to speed the parting guest-at least that was the case with him. He and his brother had been working on the cases and had used a negro to as sist them. This negro was very mucli in evid euee, it appears, at the trial or the cases and when the detectives and their nubian were boarding the Blue Ridge for Columbia the committee on hospitality was there in force, yes, force is the word, according to the <1< tectives, for that waa the pleaaant parting that they gave to the negro, there being some rock and othor mis files mixed in with the parting salute. The Seneca Farm and Factory has the following interesting account of the vtBit of the "detectives,": Coming to Seneca under assumed, names and securing evidence by queg , tionable methods, J. L. and L. W. Ash burn, "detectives." and Robert Young, a negro assistsnt, had five negroes in jollce court this morning under thc charge of selling liquor. Two of the defendants were found "not guilty" while three were given heavy fines by Mayor J, G. Harper. 'George Hicks who conducts a res taurant on East Main street, - plead guilty and was fined $30 or :to days on the public workR Joe Wilson and Elia? Bryant were turned loose, though the evidence was practically tho same as other capes. Pearl WM*o and ?Ulla Starks were fined ?*J."> or 30 davn each. Julia Starks, has appoiled tr? the cir cuit court and it in freely predicted that she will be f-ced w*ion the case in trid at the. next lerm of '.dur*. The negro asslfttiht was the. only material witness io the live cases; In four of the cases be swore that he purchased liquor from the defendants in milch the same manner. It waa hts plant to have Officer Joe Belo' te, of the night "police force, search him before he called on his Intended victim^ The officer swore each time that bc found ho liquor on him. Then the negro wquld go to the party suspected of selling liquor. Each time when he re turned Mr. Helot te again searched him and found a bottle. Mayor Harper considered the evi dence gotten in thia manner and by thee methods sufficient to convict three of the negroes. Several negroes swore that thc "detectives," evidence was false, but the mayor sided with the black sleuth. The Ashburn brothers came to Sene ca last week under the names of Davis and Wesley and distributed posters ov er-town saying they were moving pic ture showmen and would open a tho ture in town July 4. They have been doing similar work in various town: during the past few months. Members of council, acting unqn' a suggestion from Mayor Harper it ts said, decided to employ them at the I fast' monthly, meeting-. What their j salary ia ' is not given to the public. I It is said that they were working on : commission plan. The police force I bas boen very inactive in catching il licit liquor dealers for some time. Du I lng the past several months it has been a rare thing that "blind tigers' were hauled before the mayor. None of the- negroes In court this morning employed lawyes. The Ash burn 'brothers and Policeman Pace were free- In their advice to Mayor Harper ns to what evidence wat com petent and which parts should be omitted. Wheh the Ignorant negroes tried to tell where Robt. Young, tho so-called ' "detective," was misstating . the facts' they were cut short and told to stick to Vthe case." Young's testi mony was accepted throughout, as the whole truth by the Court and the con viction's found-solely on his evidence.

The Requirements of the Constitution of 1895 Are the Preservation of Their Race They Are Losing t uni ty to Attend the Schoob Sich That For Oppor Ed I tor. Thc. Intelligencer: A negro rchool teacher in South Carolina recently said that the white peoplo of South Carolina passed a law in 1895. compelling the ncgroeB to at tend eehool when. the constitutional convention - .ilred that a negro be able to read and write, or that he hold property before he could vote. He smiled and said that since that time the negro children could not be kept from going to school,- and that the ne gro schools were always crowded, but that now the white people would be forced to pass a compulsory educa tion law to give the white* children the education they would need to com pete with the negro. 'Tho negro teach er's statement le plain enough. So we havo in- South . Carolina a compulsory law already for the ne groes. Here ls what Hon. James D.
