Duty is the biggest word in the English lan- The Aspirants for State and County Officers Held Forth at Blacksburg Thursday—An Orderly Crowd. Blacksburg. Aug. 19.—The county campaign opened at this place on the 18th instant. The meeting was held ; in the City Hall. Fully 200 people: were present. The dispensary was closed. It was a quiet, orderly meet-; ing. It was called to order by N. W. Hardin, chairman of the Blacks burg Democratic Club, who extended a cordial invitation to the candidates in behalf of the people of Blacksburg j and surrounding country, and assured i them of a respectful hearing. R. M. Jolly, candidate for county supervisor, was the first speaker. His plat form was, looking after the fi nances of the county, putting sober men in charge of the chain gang, not allowing gambling and drinking at the camps, as had been the case; each section should have its propor tionate part of the county money; spoke of necesstiy of having good roads; this section was entitled to between $1300 and $1400 for roads, if elected he would see that the re spective sections received their mon ey; the county indebtedness is too great and that if elected he would wipe ot out; referred to the useless ness of the road machinery; its pur chase of the road machinery; its pur- there would be no good roads until the county gets out of debt; this was h* last time to be a candidate, hav ing already been a candidate four times. Wm. (Chris) Phillips, candidate for county supervisor, said there was no politics in the matter of electing a man for supervisor—it was just a matter of business. As to giving the respective sections their proportionate part of money for road purposes, any man if elected, if a man of honesty, would see that the differ ent sections get what they were en titled to; it is simply a question of who can handle the county’s money and get the best results from it. Had nothing to say of the drunkenness and gambling at the chain gang camp or the brutality shown the convicts by the bosses in charge—that was Mr. Whelcbel’s business, and of those things the speaker knew nothing. W. G. Austell, candidate for county supervisor, said he w’as in favor of good roads, but not to the extent of putting the county in debt. There should be economy; roads should be worked by taxtaion. Had nothing to say as to his reputation—it was well known. Had no pets and had made no prom ises; had made no charge that his competitors had any. As to the chain gang, he wanted the men treated hu manely. Could not say anything as to the finances of the county, as he had not posted himself, but there should be economy. Referred to his war record and said that since that time he had never been a charge up on the county; had never taken a drink. Referred to the charge that if elected he would give the trade to his son at Gaffney, and denied it; also denied the charges that one of his sons would be placed in charge of the gang if he was elected. D. L. Vassey, candidate for county supervisor, said he had no war record nor any other kind—was simply running on his own merits, and was confident that he could fill the place, and wanted it dis tinctly understood that he was not running upon the demerits of his competitors. His platform was to build up the roads, and if elected he expected to put a business man in charge of the gang, and a good busi ness as a general thing is not cruel nor dishonest. He had no sons to put in charge of the gang—he had not educated his sons for the chain gang. J. V. Whelchel, candidate for county supervisor, re ferred to his record for two terms. Admitted having made mistakes, but any man doing business would have done the same thing. Said he had been charged with being extravagant in handling the county’s money, and read a statement that he had not been; there were some expenditures caused by circumstances over which he had no control, and yet the people were paying $3500 less tax now than when he took charge of the office four years ago. (At this point there was a controversy between R. M. Jolly and the speaker). He then went on to show that the working of the roads by him had not been extravagant, • but, on the contrary, very economi cal, and he spoke of the advantage of good roads to the farmers and the fact that they had to pay but a very small part of the tax. Had managed the chain gang to the best of his ability; had had to discharge a num ber of men because of their having drunk too much liquor. Any other su pervisor would have to contend with the same thing. Concluded by advo cating the building of permanent roads. Green B. Daniel, |* candidate for county auditor, said he had no war record—the only plea of # his opponent. Then referring to the * plea of poverty made by his* oppo- % nent, said that if he had had the W. D. Kirby, j candidate for the house of represen tatives, was the first speaker after adjournment. He said it was a pleasure to know that Broad river had been bridged over and that, the people on each side were now living guage, and he had done his duty. | af , me mbers of one family, working for Had been complimented by the comp- the interest of the county and State, (roller general upon the way that he J Thanked the people for the vote he had conducted his office.

He be- that those men who owned more: jr an as a poor boy and could not but property and stood highest in the f ee ] proud of the honor conferred up on him. The greatest men the coun try ever produced had been born in log cabins, as he had been. If his old and respected school teacher, Mr. McArthur, was not “up and doing” he would clean him up on the 30th as he had done in the calf trade. Referred to his early life on the farm; would still be farming but for the fact that he had found the sun too hot. He had traded, butchered, taught school, and community were the ones who vio lated the law and who wanted him to violate it. His opponent, Daniel, was nothing but the tool of certain moneyed men in Gaffney; that his opponent had deceived him and would deceive the people if elected. (Applause). Referred sneeringly to Daniel’s afflicted eye. Charged him with a dirty trick in sending out a card upon which he had printed that which was an insult to him and t) > preached. If he was competent two people. He then referred to his (the speaker's) family misfortunes, and his own misfortune in consequence of his having done his duty as a sol years ago to represent, the people he was better fitted now than ever. The new man could not have the influence of that of an old one; the old one dier. Prasied Dr. Wm. Anderson, of p a( j influence with those controlling Blacksburg, for having saved his life. (Cries, “Hurrah for Dr. Anderson!”) All old soldiers should be taken care of. and his opponent should be affairs at Columbia and could obtain positons for his constituents in the different departments of the State government. Went into details of ashamed of himself in trying to take the working of things in Columbia, the bread from his mouth. He knew if defeated it would be to the inter- his father was ashamed of him. Felt est of the people of the county and satisfied that the people would not state to send the two elected back forsake him. (Applause). again and again. It’s not the most G. B.

They had it takes a man who has backbone, agreed the day before not to engage common sense, and is honest. Those in mud-slinging, and yet Col.

Camp J thousand mile ticket; increased the did not want exposed. (Applause). J. L. Walker, candidate for county superintendent of education, spoke of the confidence shown in him by his election to the office of county superintendent of ed ucation—the highest office in the county. He referred to some statis tics showing that there is at present in the treasury to the credit of the schools the sum of $6,617.56, an amount more than sufficient to run the schools in some of the districts but not enough in others. Had tried to increase the salary of the white teachers; believed in good pay; must pay better in order to get better work. Spoke of the fine work bei^g done by a majortiy of the teachers. Public schools had done wonders. Teachers were often blamed when they should not be. The home school and the State were the main factors in a child's eductaion, the home training being more important than the others. Urged establishment of school libraries; the books were of the best kind and the people in the rural districts should have them. (Applause). W. H. Gooding, candidate for treasurer, thanked the people for their support and said he stood for re-election. W. F. McArthur, candidate for the house of represen tatives, said he was not asking for the place as financial aid—there was none in it. He was after the honor and at the solicitation of some of the best men on both sides of the river he had become a candidate. If de feated, though, he would go home and sleep sweetly that night, his con duct throughout the campaign having been such that his conscience would be at ease. Referring to the issues, he said among the most important was that of education—schools, col leges. farmers’ institutes, etc. The facilities for the getting of school amcffint of baggage allowed to be car ried by every passenger. Was proud of his record. Had voted for the tax on the “yaller dog,” and every other kind; tried to have it made more but could not. If such acts would cause his defeat he would have to be de feated. Voted for the act requiring dealers in meal to give full weight or pay penalty. He then took up the dispensary law and reviewed the his tory of liquor legislation. While the people had not gotten what they had asked for they had gotten what they had been wanting. He thought the dispensary system the best solution of the liquor question. He denounced the insinuation that he was “under the wing” of the dispensary. People were given at the last session of the legislature a way to get rid of the dispensary, as some had claimed that it had been rammed down their throats. Spoke of the Brice bill and its good features. The people would make a serious mistake if they amended the Brice bill by the strik ing out of the one mill tax clause and run out the dispensary. The bill as it was a good one. The speaker was a prohibitionist but the dispen sary is the best solution of the liquor question. If, however, the people wanted to vote it out they had the opportunity to do so. (Applause). W. J. Sarratt, candidate for the house of represen tatives, thanked the people for the vote he had received two years ago. He had headed the ticket at Blacks burg. All the candidates for the house were good men. but because of his experience he would prove a bet ter member. Spoke in detail of what a member h ft d to do; also referred in detail to the financial legislation of the last legislature—it was economi cal; voted to give the old soldiers pension; was also in favor of giving the common school more money, but the finances of the State was such as books by the patrons could be easily j not to allow it. Had nothing in his increased by the legislature—the only I record to be ashamed of. It hsd place where it could be.

Explained why he had given not. Referred to the free library bill up teaching—he had to; Clemson and which was a good one. The legisla- Winthrop had reduced the number of lure had also given the old soldiers his pupils from 265 to none.

As to the dispensary over ten thousand for prohibition question, it had been unfortunately and they had been given the dispen- sprung upon the people during the sary. Otts, who had deceived the campaign. He was a total abstainer and prohibitionist. Reviewed briefly people then in voting for the dispen sary was now attacking the dispen- the history of liquor legislation, and sary. He (Sarratt) would not say stated that often he had seen the whether he was for or against the working of the dispensary. He had dispensary, but would say that he fallen in love with it as a compro- voted for the Brice bill, which gives mise and accepted it, but while there the people a way to get rid of the had been no fraud committed by its dispensary. Referred to the bill in institutions or its employees in this section, there had been flagrant frauds abroad. He wanted to treat the dispensary well and the people may need it four years later. He had no attack to make on the dispensary, but be was a prohibitionist and wished to God he could wipe all liquor out; that the matter should have been and would have been more detail to show that it was a good prohibiton law. The ex-barkeepers, and blind tigers want the Brice bill but without the tax it provides for. The speaker then took up th«- finan cial legislation of the last legisla ture and defended it. N. W. Hardin, candidate for the house or represen tatives, said that he was at home and his position on all questions was well ! known, therefore he preferred to give | the other candidates, who were com- paritive strangers, most of his time.! There were, however, some matters i to which he wished to refer. Said that the way in which the issues had been discussed by his competitors! was such that it only led to confus-; ion. Then he Appealed to the people for their support, because he was from this side of the river. Criti cised the financial legislation of last legislature; it was useless and ex travagant. Charged Kirby with igno rance of elementary parliamentary procedure, and spoke of his failure to have enatced any beneficial legis lation. Mr. Kirby;—“Mr. Hardin, will you allow me to interrupt you?” Mr. Hardin:—“Certainly.” Mr. Kirby;—"I had passed a joint resolution validating school levy in the graded school district of Blacks burg, which allowed the school to continue and which you opposed.” Mr. Hardin:—“You say 1 opposed it?” Mr. Kirby:—“Yes, sir; I got it straight.” Mr. Hardin:—"I did not!” Mr. Kirby:—“Well, I can produce my authority.” Mr. Hardin:—“Well. I deny the statement. It is absolutely false. You cannot throw me off my base that way.” The speaker then came back to the financial legislation of the State as shown by the supply bill, and said that there were some strange things in it which he did not understand, and had been “smoking the boys out,” and trying to get them to explain. They had been trying to explain a lit tle; so had the auditor and treasurer, but not successfully. (A colloquy took place at this point between the speaker and Sarratt). He then spoke of Clemson College. It was a good school. The institution was sup ported mainly by the fertilizer tax. which came from the farmers, and not a dollar from the railroads or other corporations. Those given scholarships were boys from the towns, while the poor country ’boys had no chance—“taxing the farmers to send the farmers’ boys to school, but they never got there.” (Here the speaker, Sarratt and Kirby engaged in a controversy, in which Kirby and Sarratt tried to show that farmers’ sons had been beneficiaries of the in stitution). The speaker then referred to the liquor question. Said he was in favor of local option. Intimated very strongly that the dispensary was a political machine. The working of the dispensary law was tyranical. He crit cised the Brice bill because of its tax provision in the event of the removal of the dispensary. “If they can give the people the right to vote a dispensary in, why don’t the peo ple be allowed the right to vote it out?” If elected he would see this objectionable feature removed. He then severely criticised the claims of the dispensary advocates that the dispensary system had decreased the consumption of liquor. Claimed that people often went into a dispensary when they should not have done so and need not have. He had been in one himself when he ought not and need not have been. The dispensary should be removed, even if the people had to pay the one mill tax. Its influence was demoralizing. The weak were tempted to drink and the protecting arm of the State should be thrown around them. A criticism of our present form of county government then followed. He said it was a one-man affair; that is, one man bossed the whole thing. He wanted the law repealed. It was a political machine, pure and simple. The different positions in the county were filled by the legislative delega tion to perpetuate themselves in power. (Applause). J. C. Otts, candidate for the house of represen tatives, said that he did not have time to give “taffy.” It was an honor to be a member of the legislature. All the people had to do was to weigh the five candidates and select the best two. Did not want to be called a politician—wanted to be a states man. Criticised Kirby’s record in the legislature. Said he only intro duced two bills—one was killed and the other was a little local school bill. Said Sarratt had introduced only one bill and that was so defec tive it was killed. That was not ! statesmanship, but the work of pea nut politicians. As to the dispensary, he had voted for it. It had some good features. He had not changed his views, but the law had changed. To day it is nothing but a political ma chine. It is not being run in the in terest of morality or sobriety, but simply for money ami the furtherance of the political interests of those con ; nected with it. For that reason he was not the friend of the law that | he was once. It was a politcal ma chine, pure and simple, that perme ated the entire State government. J At the coming election he was going to vote “no dispensary,” and when he got down to Columbia he was going i “to tighten things up” by changing the law. The county board of con-1 trol should be gotten rid of and the purchase of liquor left to the super- j visor and treasurer. Dispensers to be appointed by county supervisors, i The Brice bill was being fought by the prohibitionists because the bill was "loaded.” It meant a great con- ] centration of power. The sale of liquor under the dispensary law had | given us some money, but it had caused ’ bloodshed and wrecked homes. Referring to the fertilizer tax ! he said that Clemson College was i getting too much money, and vas simply wasting it. The appropria tions for that institution should be cut down and given to Winthrop. Clemson College had been established for the benefit of the farmers’ sons, but almost all the students at that institution were the sons of men en gaged in every other pursuit than that of farming. Touching upon the matter of financial legislation, said there had been recklessness and ex travagance and that the State had been put deeper in debt than it had been in the days of radicalism. There had been no show of states manship. He then spoke of the use lessness of the extravagance in the establishment of the bureau of immi gration and labor, of which Watson is the head. It had been created solely in the interest of the people of the low country. He then said he agreed with Hardin in his criticism of the present form of county govern ment; that as it stood it is a mere political machine—a crowd of office holding henchmen ready to do the bidding of the legislative delegation. The speaker then concluded by refer ring to his record. He had been faith ful to his clients and he would be faithful to the people if elected to the legislature. He had let his position be fully known; he had not dodged an issue. (Applause). As your correspondent was leaving the hall he met a man who had fol lowed patiently the proceedings from beginning to end. "Well,” he said, “you been taking down all them fellows sed, I reckon?” “Tried to,” I replied. “Well, gol-darn it,” he said, “hit’s ther poorest show I ever seed. Twarn’t wuth the admission fee, an’ thet wurn’t nothin’.” E. A. T. THROUGHOUT THE TARHEEL STATE RECENT EVENTS OF NOTE IN NORTH CAROLINA. Kings Creek Items.

Prohibition does not seem to be hurting Fayetteville, and it seems not to be hurting the sale of liquor, for in a hearing before a magistrtiW there the other day it was shown- that one drug store had filled 1,861 prescriptions in a little more than five months, said prescriptions aver aging about a quart each. There are five other drug stores to hear from, not to mention the other, places where the stuff is sold. The grand jury in the Superior Court in Charlotte Saturday returned a true bill for manslaughter against W. P. Owen, the chain-gang guard who shot and killed Jim Boyd, color ed, last May, while the convict was attempting to escape. The trial will not take place before the next crimi nal term of court. It is understood that the county commissioners will stand behind the indicted man and that he will be defended by Burwell & Cansler. By marvelously swift work, the Whitney Company has succeeded in pumping the water from the flooded Barringer mine, and three bodies were recovered Friday night. One of them was Will Canup, the young white man, and the other two unre cognizable colored men. The com pany put in four pumps and up to Saturday morning, had succeeded in emptying the mine to a depth of only four feet. There was no way to find out if the other five bodies had been found, but Capt. Hambley said Saturday that he expected this to be done before the end of the day. The men evidently had made a des perate effort to come out of the mine, their bodies being found on the latter way. Where We Got Left. The game of baseball last week be tween Gaffney and Shelby was well played by both sides, but Shelby laid it on to the home team to the tune of 6 to 3.
