(Greenville News) 'Columboia, June 19.--A bunper crop of candidates for state olicers makes a rich 'harvet this year for the tre*asury of the State Democratic Exe outive committee. As one hat after another .was flung into the ring-and these fell thick and fast up to 12 o'clock today-accompanying the som breros of male candidates Were checks of $100 and $200 dimensions. "A pret ty good day's :business," remarked Ed gar A. Brown, the state chairman who, halling froin Barnwell, w'here he is a candidate for the legislature, Is inci dentally boss of the works. Complaint was heard not many days ago .that this year there appeared to -be little intel-est in state politics outside of the gubernatorial race. But the last days' gleaning-and it c as on ly half a day at that-brought the bi ennial crop of candidates up to seome thing a little more than par. Pledges were filed thick and fast this moi-ning, so thick and so fast that the entire landscape was completely changed. Those political wiseacres who have heretofore predicted their prognosti cations upon the line-up as previously existing now face the necessity of re vising the same because of new en tries. Eleventh hour candidates have ra-th er convpiicated the situation for those who, until this morning, had no oppo sition. Political aspirants came today from various parts of the state, the capital swarming with them like bees at hiving time. One shudders to thinli what might have happened -to the as pirations and ambitions of some t) ,these had their trains been late or had they suffered more than one or Fiw( blowouts on the way. In point of fact Sain T. Carter, for past years stat< treasurer, is the one state oflicer wh< did not draw an opponecnt, a worthi tribute to a worthy and a faithful of licial of the state government. There was also one withdrawal Paul IMoore, of Columbia, quit the race for state stuverintendent of education In this race, -however, are left si: candidates, including bwo women, th4 first of the female sex to offer forath state ollices, They are Mrs. djesult Rogers Drake, of larlboro, and Mrs Martha Wallace, of Columbia. dFor :lieutenant 'governor, two nev candidates entered the political arena E.
