(Continued From Pago One.) return to high license. Mr. W. C. Irby, Jr., came next. Af ter touching on some national issues he proceeded to a fervid discussion of the whiskey issue. Declared that he was not wedded to any liquor-selling system. Thought, however, that the dispensary was the best way to handle the traffic and he did not care a "continental damn" what the church members of Laurens thought of it. Is himself an officer in tho church and would not hurt or try to injure the church itself. "The people have caught hell when they have allowed certain people to dictate how they should vote." If we could keep liquor out of the State he would vote for prohibition, hut under the laws this cannot be done, so the traffic must be regulated. Prohibition is a humbug ??worked" by fanatics and corpora tions. Charged that the present whis 1 ey issue had been forced into the cam paign through the pulpit. He would abolish immigration bureau in Colum bia. After tolling why tho cotton mills are closing down, taking their orders from New York, he thought child labor law was being violated by the mills, fold of an instance in Spartanhurg where an 8-oear?old lad was employed in a large mill and another was draw ing his pay, as a way of (lodging the law. Defended himself against the charge of alleged immorality in his own life. "Some of our paper friends are foolish onough to be advocating prohibi tion and fighting for that Republican of Charleston. Misunderstanding the ref erence Mr. W. P. Wright inquired of Mr.Irby what "prohibition paper did he allude to.Hie Advertiser, the Lau rens Advertiser," replied the speaker, and took his seat. Mr. s. It. Todd followed. First time he had appeared before the people ask for olHco. Had not been brought out by any certain political crowd. Was making race on his platform al ' ready publisher, favors Carey-Coth ran law. Believes present system best regulation of the liquor traffic. Ex plained distribution of the county dis pensary profits, an enormous fund go ing ( ach year to the education of the Idren. By voting out the dispensary sum. which amounted to about $25,000 hist year for educational pur . alone, would be lost. Outsiders ? contributing to Laurens school fund hrough the channel of the county dis pensary. Would repeal lien law on a graduated basis. Is not against cor porations hut is opposed to compulsory ? linealion and present immigration law. A t ier recessing an hour for dinner the crowd re-assembled when the chair man stilled that he had been asked to pass on the question of Mr. B. Cood m's .failure to file his pledge at the proper time and he ruled that the can didate was out of the race for coroner. lion. B. D. Boyd, candidate for the Hoime was then presented. After making some personal remarks con cerning his present race for the legisla ture and telling of his work in the general assembly lie went into the whisky question. Is opposed to State wido prohibition, favors local option. If the people vote the dispensary out ; I.aureus ho will stand by that result tho legislature. He will vote to ab dish county dispensary m the No vell.her (lection. Considers the other questions of more importance. Thought Ciemson had too much money. Would submit lien law question to the people for settlement. He voted against it in the legislature. Opposed to immigra tion law. Declared that he had voted he last cent to continue the dispensary inve. tigation and the prosecution of af .I grafters. Whole thing hasn't amounted to anything; no stripes have been placed on anybody. Mr. Jarcd D. Sullivan came next. Ho had not been asked by any commit tee to make the race, but had been en v 'Uraged by numerous individuals and itrong personal friends to enter. Would icier it a great honor to represent the county in the legislative halls of I South Carolina. Went to the war and here the hardships of the Confederate oldier, Returned and engaged in fa ming, Which pursuit he had followed vor linco. As to the liquor question he will vote against the county dispen sary. Prohibition does prohibit. It in Mnino and Kansas. Believes in takings llrm stand on all questions. ()pposed to lien law- has served its i ime. ('pposed to all but voluntary im migration. Hon. W. K. Richey closed for the I rislative candidates. Was a native of Abbovilli county but had been a citizen of Laurens for tho past 22 years, en gaged in the practice of law and man aging some business affairs. Was I elected mayor of the city of Laurens three times and in the administration of that office had striven to do his duty. ( amo before tho people now asking election to the legislature as a business man and for the additional reason that ? he wanted to go to the general assem 1)1. . Coming to the liquor question he di dared that it was a very grave sub ject. Had always voted against whis li v eliing and intended tocasl his vote t: ain t it on every opportunity afforded in (lie future. Cave his reasons for1 ippo ng Laurens dispensary. Money pent for liquor comes out of the pock-1 ets of the people of the county and State. Records would show that 5)0 per i cent, of the crimes committed were caused l>y whiskey. The little revenue is not comparable to the sacrificeof one human life. Quoted Congressman John son on the situation in Spartanhurg to ? the effect that conditions in every re spect iiad been greatly improved under i prohibition, Road letters from officials of dry counties showing the good ef fects of prohibition, If elected he ( would endeavor to have business methods adopted in legislating for the pi ople. Would repeal lien law. As has boon slated all the candidates were present and at tho conclusion of > the legislative BpQakers the aspirants I for the other officesWOrO presented and I allowed from five to ten minutes each toset forth their claims. The crowd listened to all patiently, remaining to the ( lose of the meeting. The cam paigners go to Sardia today. I LOCAL AND PERSONAL MENTION. | Rev. W. E. Thoyer, Messrs. R. A. Cooper and J. S.
