? (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
