STATE CAMPAIGN NOW IN FULL SWAY Featherstone Received With Hearty Applause. SOME OF THE ISSUES Synopsis of Bio Sperelies Delivered at (lie llennotteWlle Moot lug hiisl Saturday. Tho state oaiupnlgn opened ill Stnn ter last Wednesday. Oil Saturday (ho campaigners K|)okc at Beilliettsvillc, and tho following report of the meet ing is taken from the Columbia Stan-: This was the best clay of the cam paign. As il was Saturday there was a larger attendance than at other meet ings and the attention given the speak ers was good. Fealherstoiie and McLeod were the favorites here, with the pro hibition man much the hotter in the applause getting. Fr?ser Lyon came in for his usual ovation. If he knew that he had an Opponent in the race, it could not have been told from his words or demeanor. IP' never refer red to the charges which he had de clared. Were maliciously false unless bis opponent should produce proof That proof was to he forthcoming today and was not. other charges of a similar nature were made, hut it Is possible will never ho noticed. Many of the candidates went to Columbia and thence to their homes tor Sunday, hut some stayed in Ben nettsvllle and the Pee Dee section. For Kail road Commissioner, ('ol. o. C. Scarborough doesn't seem tti have got out of "his territory" yet. At Sumter, Blshopvllle und Darling ton he was at "homo," today he was also given a cordial reception, al though this is one county in which he has not been a resident, lie said that he had talked so much about educa tion that his opponents were thinking' that he was running for the olllce of State Superintendent, hut tiny would learn bettor. McDulllc Hampton, next speaker, declared that this is an ofllco of trust and responsibility. He believes that the hoard should have on it at least one civil engineer and lie cited his qualifications. He expressed Iiis spin pntliy with tho working man and if elected he would use all of Iiis energy to safeguard their interests. The railroad commission had asked for a Civil engineer, why not make one a member of the commission? Canslcr Ippluudcd. .lames Canslcr received a lot of up l>lause. ||e denied that lie is running for the fun of It. Ho wants the olllce j and hi' means to have it and will get it before he dies, lie carried Marlboro before. He jumped on his opponents. Mahoil, Hie kid. will have, like Cans lcr. to run six years before he gets the oiiice. lie attacked Col. Scarbor ough for failing while a member of the niiroad committee of the house to I do something to settle the mileage hook controversy. He declined that he is no civil engineer and it was bosh for a man with a profession to lay it down for a job which has 110 possibill ' ties for promotion. I (1. H. Mohan, who has been very hoarse, since the opening day. made his hest speech today. lie declared that he conies from the great Pied mont country. He attacked the rail road commission severely for neglect ing the rights of the people and cited the case of the Greenville hoard of trade hanging tire since last October. He attacked the "damnable discrimi nations" made against Charleston, and said that Lewis W. Parker, at the head of more spindles than any other man in the South, and a lawyer of rare ability, told the railroad com mission that there is a legal way of redress and yet the commission had done nothing. He read a lot of lig ures to back up his charge of discrim ination. For (Jovcrnnr. The tirst candidate for governor. F. II. Hyatt, said that while he had spoken to Marlboro people before, it is the first time he had ever asked for anything lor himself. He had come here years ago in the interest ot good roads and the effects of that campaign may be seen today. He had also helped organize Marlboro in tho light for proper prices for cotton. This campaign, he said, seems to be a bragging match from start to finish, lie had no political record to brag of. But it is no egotism on his part to say that he knows the condition of South Carolina from one end of the State to the other. He was born a prohi bitionist: had lived a consistent pro 50 Per Cent Better "I have used less than one bottle of Cardui," writes Mrs. Gertrude Ward, of Rushville, Neb., "and am feeling fifty per cent better than when 1 began taking it. "Before taking Cardui, I had suffered with female trouble, for eight years. Aty greatest trouble was irregu larity. I also suffered with severe pains, every month, but now I am greatly improved and will recommend Car dui to all my suffering friends." Take . CARDUI The Woman's Tonic The rare medicinal herbs of Cardui are imported by the manufacturers direct from Europe and arc not to be found it any other medicine. These ingredients are what give Cardui its superiority, as a female medicine and tonic, over any other medicine. For over 50 years Cardui has been the favorite wom an's medicine. The ladies like it, because it is so easy to take, so gentle, so safe, so reliable in its results, and they have faith in its curative tonic powers, because of the thousands of other ladies it has helped.

Mr. Hyatt declared that at the pres old rate of extravagance the stale of South Carolina will have trouble to refund her bonds. He si in touch with the business interests of the country and he knows. If elected he would try to handle this situation. Relieves in Schools. He believes in better schools. He beieves teachers should be paid well, lie believes in having agriculture taught in tin' schools, so that lite boys can learn to analyze the soil and to tell how to use fertilizer. Hut Hyatt, some would say. what have you done to ask for the highest ofltce in the gill of the people? Years ago when the roads of this county were almost impassable, he had or ganized th<" State Good Roads asso ciation, which, with the cooperation of the county supervisors, had adver tised the merits of the sand-clay roads. He had worked with Marlboro men and other to form the State Cotton association, which had helped to hold cotton until it has brought It" cents per pound. He has always given his services. Mr. Hyatt was liberally ap plauded as he concluded. Lieut. Clov. McLeod with a pretty] Might of language described tbe first settling of this part of the State and of the love of liberty on the part of ' e people. Mr. McLeod had a great ; Ivantnge over his opponents, for he speaks so rapidly that he can say as much in 20 minutes as the others can in 30. His portrayal of the advan tages of education was very strong. He is in favor of requiring attendance on schools when it can be done right, but not at present. Everybody is in favor of good roads. Marlboro has made a marked record in road Im provement. He jumped on tho tax dodgers and declared that they should be forced to bear their part of government. '"Po litical platforms are made to get III on and not to ride on." he said, and keep off tin platform' is the first thing you will see when you get inside the <ar." This was a reference to Candidate Blouse's platform. In this county, which has never had a bar room, he declared himself em phatically for local option. Marlboro j had never had liquor rammed down her throat. Why should any protest ing county have prohibition forced upon it. merely to have that condition become obnocious and enforcement ol law a farce. The next speaker was .Tno. <!. Rich- i amis. Jr., whose venerable father, a I Presbyterian preacher at Blenheim, was in the audience. He referred inj his remarks to the fact that Marl boro is dear to him for (hat reason, lie challenged inspection of his 20 years' public service, and if one un faithful act could he pointed out. he would retire from the race, lie ran briefly over his legislative record. We have a great educational system and illiteracy Is being driven out rapidly, but then1 are communi ties in which no school facilities have been offered. When this is done, the people will eagerly take advantage thereof. There is some unrest in re. gard to Clemson college. That board I of trustees will use the funds to ad-1 Vance the educational interests of the State. He read his views on the tax ques tions. He would recommend to the legislature a new form of assessments. As fo agriculture, he declared that he is a simon-pure farmer and had always clone what he could for good roads and the promotion of agricul ture I As to the liquor question, he said ? that Mr. McLeod's acquiescence in present conditions would lead to other counties in the State becoming wet again instead of drying up Char leston. Roan fort and Georgetown. The six Counties which are selling liquor! are nullifying tho will of the majority of the State. (Applause.) These six] counties are selling half as much as the :!c. counties did before, lie con cluded with a tribute to the Confed erate soldiers and declared that the Stale Is not doing enough for the needy veterans. He would provide bountifully for each and every one of them. Cole L. Blcase, candidate for gov ernor, stated that two years ago, run ning in the face of a precedent that a governor should have a second term, he received 44,000 votes, car rying the counties in which he was best known. He has served in pub lic olllcc continually since 1890, And has been elected mayor of N'ewberry over a rliong opponent Mi) discussed the tax question. clalmln? that the newspaper bed tried to make Honor the issue two years ago when be tried to make P taxes. lt> quoted from comptroller -^?ne-al'- re-n ils r.nd mule Pt\ ar;" me tit thai although Iho income of the Spite is increasing through fees and taxes on corporations, the taxes are Increasing.
