'he sebeining politician doesn't want
lt, ftatmers organived in tho farmers'
ehalf but if ho can get the farmer
orn to pieces to further his cause,
p is satislied. No doubt the farming
lass has b-een frightfully discrim
natel against in taxation. There
omes a time iwhen everything the
armer produces fails to make him any
rollt and there is not hinng with which
o pay taxes; yet, a great proportion
if the profit producing class esen.es
axes entirely, but the farmilet never
scapes his. 'T'lhe question that the
aimers have .got to aWk thmesIelves
s can and will the old line politician,
rhether in tihe general assembly or
.s governor, Imake any at tempt to
hange these con(litions? I think not.
lOnce, the imperative need of clean
ng out the old liiners and putting in
, farmer for governor and a general
ssenibly of farmers and business men
vho would give all the people a just
nd fair deal without strife and dis
.raceful contention as has so often
haracterized political affairs in South
,arolina 'before.
Wh'llo can measure the responsibility
if the old, staid farmer as from day
o (lay lie goes over the hills and
hrough the valleys communing with
iature's God?
Our minds look over into next
'ear's camiaign and we shudder, we
tand aghast, our blood runs cold;
iecause we see the vile demagogue
ioltician ivith the tongue of a ser
'ent and with lying slander upon his
iPs sowing discord, enmity and hatred

arnatb!. We see evidences of a very
trong proba'bility of dragging the
