(Continued from page one.'* yea:s ago. and then proceeded to a discussion of the state school law, compulsory education, the various duties of the county superintendent, declaring that the best equipped man should be elected for the place. As to the law relative to the manner oi Beb sting school trustees, Mr. Burdette Said we have the "same law that you and 1 w;:s reared under." The peo ple Of this country, he said, centuries sago fought, bled and died for freedom :and Independence. It elected ho "wilt "take Care of the interests of the poo. ple to the best of his ability, and lie thinks he Is amply qualified for the position. During his administration he Will i!:<t appoint a colored school trust* e If enough white men reside in the listrict to compose the board. Supervisor Humbert. < innty Supervisor H. B. Humbert made t\ cle .-cut statement as to the coin ly's financial status, showing how the different obligations had been met and so on. He made a strong appeal in behalf of a better road system, shov/ing the importance of securing a plan whereby permanent road build ing m&y he done. For The Legislature. D . lohn H. Miller of Cross Hill was the first of the legislative candidates to address the voters of Waterloo to day. Ho at once launched into a dis cussion of the school question, saying it was thai that appealed to him at all times. Stands for liberal appropria tions. Thinks the high school act had not carried out as intended. Equaliza tion of taxes is a matter of much con cern and should have the considera tion of thoughtful legislation. Reiter ated Ids position as to providing lib erally for the p?nal and charitable m stir ??' ins of rhe State. Thinks the Cr : ?11 of the office of insurance commissioner of the state was an ab solute necessity, for in this way the people now have some protection. .la, d I). Sullivan of Lnurens came next. Mr. Sullivan is enthusiastic ov er the agricultural progress making in Laurens and the State of South Car olina, lie advocates good schools and wants them well provided for. As to the charge of extravagance in cer tain legislative matters. Mr. Sullivan declared that he had opposed many measures, because they provided for add tionnl appropriations. As it hap pen* !. Laurens at the last session of the general assembly had more "local bills" up for consideration than any Other county. Voted for and stands by the office of insurance commissioner. Produced some figures showing the amount the Office has received in the way of lice- ses from the various fire insurance companies operating in this State. Charge of extravagance cannot he sustained Oll this score. Told of scouting pensions for old soldiers of Laurens whose applications had been marked ?short service" and for that reason had been turned down. Ami. cultural interests of Laurens and the State should have representation in the legislature. Tombed upon Tor rens system of land tenures, this being one of the (piestions which the Farm ers' union has requested the legisla tive candidates to express themselves upon. Clarence Cunlngham of Cross Hill nt once took up and explained "some remarks made at the L?ngsten Church meeting on August !> with reference to "negro schools and white teachers/1 saying In part: "Wo have to have them In self de . fense as they are the creatures of State statute and constitutional laws. Neither .thsooifttfy school ccrmtriission* ers nof the State superintendent of education can close them so long as there is money in the county to run them." (Here he cited the constitu tion of 1868 and the constitution of 1895) "Nothing in the constitution prohibiting whtie teachers. As we are compelled to have the school, let us take them In charge and control them. The laws of the Southern States force them on the South so does also Northern. Western, and Eureopean sentiment. "No law can force a man or a woman to teach now that the Dark Ages and absolute inonarchism have passed away. Forcing one to teach could never be a question of legislation but putting negro schools Into the charge and control of the whites Is a matter of public policy. We. the whites, pay the taxes and the negro women and men teaching get them, and boast they are teachers and have brought the white women to the kitchen and the wash tub. Throw the teaching of the negro schools Into the control and charge of those white men who may j be willing to teach them, and the taxes the whites pay Will go Into the pock , ets of the white race. As to the little book learning the average negro enn j acquire does not amount to much. The negro flocks to school .so as to ] get to the ballot and to increase the t pay going to the negro school?more j pupils more money. Put white men in control of said schools and many a ' young man will be able to earn the ' money to enable him to go to the pro-. . fesslon y[ Uiw. ministry etc, "The insolent negro 'SCV.Ool inarms' . and school gentlemen' will have to go back to the held where they belong and the 'school inarm' back to the wash tub and our own ladies will have some relief. Fewer negro children will be I'U hing to school. Another rendezvous for concocting schemes and rascality against the whites and the whites will better know what Is and what is not taught. "I'll" uncontrolable rising young negro generation who obey neither parents nor the whites who employ and support them will be the better controlled and subjected to proper conduct and discipline. The schools , will soo? change into industrial schools where good servants will 1)0 taught. In the lower country, ladies bearing some of the proudest names in this State teach nemo State schools and the plan is working most admira bly and giving perfect satisfaction." W. W. Richey, Sr.. said that if elect ed he will go to Columbia prepared to give his b.'st efforts to matters of legislation winch he deems for the best interests of Laurens and the 1 State as a whole, lie comes as a bus iness man and a working man. Edu cated himself as a lawyer?"and I am lawyer and am proud of it." he said. Briefly defined what he regards as the duties of a legislator, and then took up the subject of the cost of running the State government, showing that in ten years appropriations for this pur pose had been doubled. He does not charge any particular member with extravagance, but the general nssem ! bly as a body. Appropriations for this year amounted to $1,?00,000 exclusive of the Clcmson college appropriation which is paid by the guano tag tax. One of the things calling for an in crease' in the annual appropriations was the creation in 1908 of the ofllce of insurance commissioner. The sal ary of the commission was fixed at $2.600, witli $1.0u for clerical help. "Why pay him more than other State officials?" asked .Mr. Richey. The ap propriation the next year for this ofllce was Increased to $8,400. "Why this discrimination? As to the license fees received by the Office, the people pay that after all. Referring to the letter Commissioner McMasler had Si at to The Advertiser and a copy of which he had himself received. Mr. Richey quoted some figures from the comptroller general's roport showing that instead of the Slate receiving .^".o.uoo in 190."?. according to Mr. Mc. Master's statement, the amount was $37,00; in 1900 it was $11. hit instead of $33,584; in 1907 it was $ 1 . 1 l-!> in stead of $34,402, as reported by Com missioner McMaster. This was before the establishment of the commission ers Office. In 1009 the conimossioner reports that $84,813 was rccolved, whereas the comptroller's report gives the amount at $68,000 in round num bers. "And the commissioner now re porta that the receipts up to August 10 1910 amount to $135,000, but if ibis report" continued Mr, Richey "is as confusing and misleading as the rest above given, what dependence can be put in It " No, Mellaster doesn't want Richey sent to the legislature, but if I am fortunate or unfortunate enough to be elected. I expect to make ! an effort to plaeo the salary of the i insurance commissioner on same basis as that of the secretary or State and others." "W. C. Irby. Jr. of Laurens claimed that the only thing to the office of representative to the legislature was the honor and confidence of the peo ple. Two years ago he promised to make a fight for a change in the Immi gration law. and there had been a modification of the net or some chang es relative to the Immigration depart ment. Told of difficulty in securing legislation or setting bills through. Corporations apparently have large In fluence there. On certain occasion a bill was about to be yeported when a member wanted to Know If Lewis W. Parker bad been adlvsed of its pur port. Mr. Irby again referred to oll t mills and cotton mills operating in this State. He had opposed all bills that had a tendency toward extrava gant expenditure of the people's mon ey. He explained how certain acts' passed at the last session relating to Laurens appear twice in the Acts of 1910. Dr. Manning Edwards was glad to come before the voters of Waterloo. It was first time he bad asked Lau rens, his native county, to honor him with a seat In the house of representa tives. If elected promised to do bis best for Laurens and the State. He had no political record, hence no apologies or explanations, will look to Interest of people in considering ' any proposed legislation. Ha l no set speech to make but ho was an ex Confederate soldier and a Democrat, j R. Dunk Boyd, of Laurens candi date for reelection, had been In legis lature six years. Thought there had been extravagance but he had made his business to look out for hills that sought to provide useless or unneces sary expenditures ?>r public money, lie had stood up for the common schools; thought the spirit if not the letter of the high school law had, been perverted, but it bad been amend ed from time to time. He voted for the act giving the schools $60,000; also for the pension and infirmary appropriations. No doubt money is wasted, but he was only one of IUI members composing that body. Taxa tion legislation probably needed. Re ferred again to the fact if Charleston banks were violating any State law. we had the proper machinery for cor recting any alleged violations in the banking laws. Coming to the matter of establishing the ollice of insurance commissioner. Mr. Boyd stated that he had at fll'St opposed the bill, but afterward changed >iis mind and sup ported it. "and it is the best ollice created since 1 have been in the leg islature." Had no apoligies to make for the part be took in bringing about the estblishment of the commissioner's office, .1. Archie Wilis started out by say ' ing that he was a young man. had held no public ollice and therefore had no record to point voters to. However, two years hence expects to have the privilege of coming back to give "ac count of his Stewardship." Discussed railroad freight rates, and pointed out how South Carolina was being dis criminated against in this important matter. H railroad commission is unable to get the rates reduced, the legislature should take a hand and secure the relief. If Cleinson college has too much money thinks more scholarships might be created. Taxes not eipr.illi/.ed anil law should be remedied. We owe a debt to the old soldiers that can not be paid in dol. lars ami cents, but is in favor of pro viding for them in as liberal manner as possible. Mr. Willis again touched upon the Torrens system of land ten ures and said that its adoption might be a good thing for this State. Three States have adopted it in a modified form and it is working all right. Magistrate of Waterloo. Two candidates, Magistrate W. W. Campbell and Quy Moore, were intro duced and both briefly stated that they Wanted to be magistrate4 of Waterloo township for the next two years.
