Of all the nauseating diatribes against the candidacy of any man that has ever come to our notice is con- tained in a dirty little campaign sheet published at Bennettsville and edited by Baxter F. McLendon. We are not certain whether or not this is the so- called evangelist preacher known as “Cyclone Mack,” but if the editor and evangelist are one and the same man, we can only say that the love of man kind ig not in the heart of the one nor the teachings of Jesus Christ in the heart of the other. McLendon’s filthy language was directed primarily against Leon W. Harris and secondly against James F. Byrnes and in be half of Senator Cole. L. Blease. Talk about dirty politics—but what’s the use of dignifying such^a man by more 1 than passing notice?

He was a mechanic in a garage. He drew pos sibly $17.50 per week. He was hand some and had found it out from some body. He was in love. I saw that at the first plance. He stayed in the barber’s chair 1 hour and 43 minutes by my watch. When he got through, the man poked the following bill at him: Rubber Farm Peats.

The barber added the bill up and county candidates , held in Barn well Friday, brought the 1930 cam paign to a close, while the candidates for State offices ended the long grind in Columbia that night with final ap peals for support. The meeting was held in the grove at the comer of Main and Marlboro Streets and was attended by some 1,500 men, women and children. The candidates for county offices were the first to speak and J. J. Bell, candidate for county treasurer, was ^the only unopposed aspiratnt to ad dress the audience, he being more or less of a stranger to the people of the county as a whole. Horace J. Crouch, incumbent, was the fiist speaer in the race for temoon. county superintendent of education. As on previous occasions he defended his record and during the course of his remarks paid a high compliment to the recent political edition of The People-Sentinel. He was followed by B. S. More, Jr., of this city, who spoke pretty rpuch along the same lines as at the other meetings. v Jas. Arthur Kennedy, of Williston led off in the race for the House of Representatives and was followed by Winchester C. Smith, Jr,, also of Wil- declares ia responsible for the great increase in cotton acreage and the present low price for the staple. He also advocated freedom for the Philip pines and then a tariff on coconut oil in order to restore cotton seed oil to a profitable basis. He reviewed his 14 years in Congress and said, “My De mocracy has never been questioned.” He was warmly applauded throughout his address and was given three bou quets of flowers. News of Lyndhurst.

Mr. Holman made what many people declared was the best speech of his campaign. Senatorial Candidates. The candidates for the United States Senate deviated little from the progiam they set up during the nine weeks tour through the State’s 46 counties. Blease defended his record; Harris rapped Blease and submitted suggestions for restoration of pros perity; and Byrnes discussed economic questions, advancing his proposal* to solve them.
