now retired on the Carnegie pension,
was introduced as Cue first speaker.
Col. Norman has been identified with
Clcmson so lone; that his name and fame
as a .scientific agriculturalist are known
in almost every household. "Small In
dustries on the Farm" was the subject
of Col. Newman's most excellent ad
dress. "Every fur^er," said tin
speaker in opening, ".'hould find time

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.
