THEHardP s of Life
HE reason for the Hard Pulls in T.fe is that sometimes we are
in-the Rut and sometifles we are out of the Rut, and m6st
of. the time we stay in the same old Rut too long. By so
doing we lose time labor and money. Suppose we had to run
our.farmns and our business in-the same Old Rut that we were in
25 years ago. Do you suppose that we could make a living? No,
we could not.
The aboye will apply to some of our old WA'IONS that are
n and out of the Rut all .the time, Why? B eause . they are
worn out or not built up trueone 6r. the other. And 'right here
yrou are getting the best of your teams.
Columbus Wagons
ire -built true and 'veil ironed and mist say the lightest-running
agon on the market. You don't have any fear when it comes
> loading them, because they are built of the very best of ma
-rial. The.,axles and spokes are made of the best No. 1 hickory.
ow is your time to buy a good wqgon. You are done with your
trm work and with a good, new wagon you can make several
llars with it by habling, where, with your old wagon you are
raid to load it if you have one, and with it vou are in and out
-thats'dme old Rut. That will kill any team in the world to try
C) pull an old wagon that you can't truck with.
We have a big lot of the Columbus and Spach Wagons on
. and and are pleased to make the same old prices on them for
i s season only. Will sell you one of them now and give you
* rusual terms on themi. Special prices for cash.

SOLICITORS RACE
HOW This Race is Leoksd Upon
In Greenvilie County, Whih
Has Been Covered By
the Campaign Party
The Fountain Inn Tribune, a
weekly paper in the' lower part
of Greenville county, edited by
Robert Quillen, who is a free
lance in all matters and strikes
where he pleases without regard
for the pleasure of the other fel
low, is supporting Robert Mar
tin for solicitor. He gave his
reasons some months ago in a
columan editorial. But in his
paper of August 3, after hearing
the candidates speak and after
-looking over the political situa
tion, writes an editorial headed
"Lanford," in which he says,
among other things:
"When the candidates for so
licitor first began to stir things
up in this district, Robert Martin
was so far ahead that he looked
an easy winner. But Martin is
losing votes as the days'go by,
and his losses go to Lanford,
who is generally accepted as the
second best man in the race.
There are many, Blease and
anti-Blease alike, who hold that
Martin's feet are cold. If a suf
ficient namber of voters come to
believe that, Lanford will be in
the second race with little Smoak,
the only bonelto-bone Bleasite
in the lot."
Robert Quillen, who is sup-I
porting Martin, says that Lan
ford is generally accepted as the
second best best man in the
race., . As a matter of fact, he is
considered such. by all those sup
porting another. Those having
a favorite candidate other than I
Lanford say: "Yes, he is a
good fellow and is my next
choice." And as a matter of
fact the universally second
choice man is the strongest in i
the iace always. He can and
will beat any of thern, for his
own following will put him into
the second race, and this great
second choice vote will all be for
him in the second race.
The situation in Greenville
county, where the campaign
meetings have been held, is
summed up about as follows, as
set forth in the Greenville News
of some days ago:
The campaign for solicitor in
the Thirteenth circuit opened on
Saturday, July 22, at Fairview,
ini the lower part of Greenville
county. All contestants for this
office are Greenville lawyers,
and all the meetings so far held
have been in Greenville county,
except one at Easley.
The opening of the campaign
found Martin in the lead. lie
had been an announced candi
date for several months and had
covTered the territory very close
ly, while the other four candi
dates had done little canvassing.
Daniel wvas possibly the second
candidate in public favor, he1
'having been a candidate for this
office four years ago. Lanford
was running third. He was
well known in the upper part of]
the county, where be was born
and reared, and in the southern
part, where he had built up a
strong following while he prac
ticed law at Greer, but in the
lower section he w as practically
unknown.
But with. the opening of the
campaign matters became at
once considerably complicated.
At Fairview, the first meeting,
Lanford, Harris and Sm oak took
positive stands as to their pres
ent and past political alignments.
Mr. Mar-tin stated that he would
not under any circumstances
state his past or present prefer
ences for Governor or any other
office.
Mr. Daniel ran lightly over the
matter without making a state
ment. Each candidate in his
best imanner stated his qualifi
cations for the position which he
sought and made thrusts at his
opponents. Mr. Lanford made
a straightforward, man-to-man
talk' telling the people that he
was a plain man and would
talk to them in a plain way;
that he believed in the strict en
forcement of the laws, and that
if elected he would put forth
every effort within his power to
enforce them, without regard for
friend or foe; he said that he
held no secrets, and as he was
offering for public office the
people had a right to know how
he stood in all matters political.
He briefly recited how he had
been born in the mountain sec
tion of Greenville county of poor
Sparen ts and how he had strug
gled up through- difficulties and1
Shardships to secure an educa
.tion and get a foothold in life.
Ho stated that early in life he
hdwrkcd for fonr e ar.s, th
mills of Greenville cout; Y, but
that this did not qualify hitn'for
solicitor,' nor did he purpose to
rie the political fence and use
his cotton mill- experienc'e and
his friekndships there to gan this
or any other office.
Lanford at Home
Beginning Monday* JUly 24,
at Tigerville and speaking' two
and three times each day, the
candidates covered nearly all the
county during the week. Dur
ing the first part of the week
Mr. Lanford was inhisoldhome
country and had everything his
own way. All of the candidates
were given respectful hearings,
but it was easy to tell which
way the political straws were
blowing. Martin's determrina
tion to stay on the fence and to
hold-uD. his record of damage
suit cases put him on the de
fensive at the Tigerville meet
ing and has kept him there ever
since. Much of his speech is
baken up with explanations. Be
zinning with the Fairview meet
ing the people began to realize
that another man than Martin
and Daniel was in the race; and
sentiment for John Lanford has
Zained momentum with every
meeting. The people of this cir
uit do not like the political
lodurer and ducker. The strad
1ler has no place in their politics.
ro them the straddling is for po
itical purposes-an attempt to
Iraw votes from both sides.
Out of the thirteen meetings
;o far held, those at Fairview,
'ountain Inn, Tigerville, Trav
det1o Re6t, afnd'Greer have been
.or Lanford. Easley was a Har
,is meeting, he having been
)orn in Pickens county and hay
ng a number of friends in and
around Easley; Lickville appear
,d to be a Martin meeting with
imoak cutting some figure; Pied
nont was for Martin and Lan
ord: Simpsonville for Daniel
ind Lanford; Conestee for Mar
:in and Smoak, the other meet
ngs having been non-commital,
dl candidates having friends at
bach.
Lanford in First Place
Summing up the situation rel
itive to the present standing of
.he candidates in Greenville
ounty, we find that Martin is
n1o longer the leader, but has
Iropped to second or third place,
with Smoak coming up from
the bottom to dispute second
place with him. There seems to
be no question but that Lanford
is leading. Martin persistently
refuses to commit himself, When
questioned by the voters as to
his political alignment. Daniel
run slightly over the matter
without taking any definite
stand.. Lantford, Smoak and
Harris are outspoken, the first
bwo anti- Blease and the latter
Blease. Lan ford and Smoak
bell Martin that he has his wires
3rossed and car'mot commit him
self, that hethas' voted first on
me side and then on the other,
md he does not deny this. At
Dhe opemnn of the campaign it
seemed a safe het that Martin
would be in the second race,
probably with Lan ford, but now
be has a fight for his life to get
into the race second best.-Ady.
Small Boy Drowned
Bel vini Greer, an eleven-year
>ld boy who lives three miles
south of Easley, was drowvned
while in swimming in a small
branch near his home last Mon
dlay. The littlefellow with his
younger brother and several
playmates were down on the
brandh playing near their usual
swimming hole. The older boy
decided to go in swimming. not
knowing that the recent rains
had washed the hole out. He
was unable to swim and got in
to water about twelve feet deep
and drowned )before aid could
reach him. - An inquest was
held and a verdict of accidental
drowning was found.
