COUNTY CAMPAIGN PARTY AT CLINTON (Continued from first page.) caught Mr. Mash ploughing in his hold one day, whereupon Mr. Nash declared that he had ploughed many a day and expected to do so again; that he had to keep a horse for his work and that the cultivation of small patches was a ne cessity. During Mr. Nash's speech some one in the crowd asked him about the maintenance of negro summer schools for teachers and if he had had anything to do with that in this county, j Mr. Nash explained that these schools I were conducted and paid for by the State board of education. Mr. Nash is a very enthusiastic speaker and holds the attention of his audience. There are three candidates for coro ner, Messrs. W. I). Watts, for re-elec tion, II. (). Hairston and B. Wright Martin. Each of these was present and spoke briefly to the Clinton people. Mr. Watts was at home and did not consume all his time. Mr. 11. B. Humbert, candidate with out opjK)sition for the office of super visor, was present at the Clinton meet ing and by s|>oeial provision addressed the people at some length on the mat ter of the county roads. Mr. Humbert spoke very earnestly on the need of permanent improvement, showing very clearly how and where good roads saved money for the farmer in the marketing of his crop. ' He argued the uselessness of the farmer paying out so much of his profit in having to travel over bad roads. Mr. Humbert also showed that issuing county bonds for the money to do this work would be a better and more economical plan than to do it by direct taxation. He said that the time would certainly come when this work had to he done, so why not begin now. After dinner the candidates for coun ty commissioner addressed the people chiefly on the matter of road works. The aspirants for these two officers are Messrs. Homer C. Culbortson, T. Ma? Roiier, W. P. Bailey and M. W. Gray. The candidates for the senate and the house or representatives were all on hand and made their usual speeches, varying but slightly from those deliv ered at L?ngsten and reported in last week's issue. After these came the two candidates for clerk of court, Messrs. Power and Bolt. As Mr. Todd says, these two opponents are carrying on a mutual admiration campaign and take out their electioneering in praising each other. Mr. Bolt says that Mr. Power made an excellent auditor and that he ought to have held on to that office, while Mr. Power says Mr. Bolt is just as fine clerk as could be found anywhere but that he ought to move up higher and get out of his way.

McCOR The Piano and Organ Man A few words which you cannot help believing unless you are prejudiced. 3SELL AS RENOWNED PIANOS for tone, quality, elasticity of touch and skilled workmanship as are made. I have no schemes to sell a piano. When I sell a piano it is direct from the factory to the purchaser, there being no unnecessary ex pense. The price is the very lowest possible and the profit shorter than of any dealer in this section. I do not have pianos drayed around and left on trial, which adds to the cost and the buyer pays it. If you know these facts and do not buy of me (for I sell for less) then you simply prefer to pay from $75 to $150.00 more, which is nothing, but robbing one's self or of your loved ones. LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THESE PIANOS The Starr McPhail Richmond Chase Peerless Electric And several makes of Player Pianos. With every Piano sold from this date I will give free of charge a twenty-lesson piano course in music. L. A. McCORD The Piano and Organ Man. Laurens, S. C.
