Assistant Postmaster General Bris tow has given out the statement that the Tillman-Talbert letter investigation has been dropped, Col. Tillman having withdrawn the charge that his mail was interferred with. An inspector was working upon the case when the charge was withdrawn. There was never any direct charge against Col. Talbert. John Gary Evans did not receive the ovation at Spartanburg on Wednesday that was confidently predicted by his friends, and it is gathered from the reports of the meeting that Col. John stone was one of the favorites. We were informed yesterday by a gentle man who had been in that county and through a considerable portion of the upper part of the State that Johnstone is especially strong in that section. Just now there are two things that very forcibly strike one driving through the county. One of these is the good condition of the crops, and the other the poor condition of the public roads. If both were in good condition our people could not but be prosperous and contented. It is not possible always to have good crops, but it is possible to have good roads, and we can get them if we determine they must be secured. The Greenville News and The Spar tan are discussing the "proper method by which men should show due respect and a lively interest in women." The editor of The Greenville News think "the old style of kissing the hand of a fair lady while her finger tips are gently held" is a much more proper method of greeting a lady friend than the modern hand-shaking, which he thinks sometimes runs more into hand holding. We suppose these editors are giving their readers the benefit if their own experience. How else could they speak with authority? The State campaign will close on Thursday, the 21st. On that day the aspirants for senatorial honors will be in Columbia and those seeking State offices in Winnsboro. From one ond of the State to the other the candidates have plodded their weary way and the peace and harmony generally prevail ing among them has seldom been dis turbed. The campaign throughout has gone along with few sensation'al inci dents and in the main has been con ducted upon a very high plane. Few predictions of the result have been made. There are very few politi cal prophets who are willing 'to risk their reputation at this time. The people are going to vote for the men od their choice, and they are choosing their men, as never before for soim years, on account of what they con ceive to be personal fitness and ability to fill the various positions at theni disposal. There will be no trouble to make ui a good ticket. In fact, there are very few incompetent men in the race. Most of them would fill the positions they seek with credit to themselves and honor to their State. There is one fact, however, which is generally admitted in connection witi the senatorial race. Since the canvas of the State began Hon. George John stone has gained most, apd it is gener ally conceded that he will be in the! second race with one of his opponents. It is a hard matter to predict who this will be, and we shall not try. The election is only a few days off. May the best men win. Extract; From Sebool Law. August 12, 1902. Mr. Eugene S. Werts, Newberry, S. C. Dear Mr. Werts: Your letter of the 6th inst. received. In reply to your re quest for me to give the authority of trustees to aid teachers to attend a summer school. I refer you to the fol lowing extract of the School Law: Section 28, page 23, "The school funds of each district sha." be distrib uted and expended by the Board of Trustees for the best interest of the school district, according to the judg ment of the Board of Trustees, on their warrant approved by the County Super intendent of Education." It..seems to me that this section gives the trustees full authority to aid their teachers to attend a summer school. In doing so they are certainly expend ing the money for the "best interest" of the schools. Some trustees look upon this expenditure as an addition to the teachers' salary, an addition usu ally well earned. Yours very truly, John J. McMahan, State Superintendent Education.

Utopia, Newberry County, Aug. 13. - The candidates for county offices reached r this place, in No. 8 Township, today. C The meeting was held in the grove in S front of Mr. W. I. Herbert's residence, and was attended by probably 250 per- I sons. There was some noisy demon- i stration, but nothing could be judged t from this as to the sentiments of a ma jority of the crowd. As usual, the main question discussed by the legislative candidates was child labor, Messrs. Taylor and Aull favor- 1 ing legislation, Messrs. Banks, Kiblhr, Dominick and Sanders opposing any interference whatever by the State, and Mr. Higgins favoring a measure which will "allow these children to at tend school during the school term and after that to help their fathers and mothers." Chairman John C. Goggans was pres ent and presided. An excellent barbecue dinner was prepared by Tom Blair, whose fame as a 'cueist has already gone abroad. A heavy rain fell here between 12 and 2 o'clock which came near breaking up the meeting before time for adjourn ment. The candidates for the legislature were first introducel this morning. HON. ARTHUR KIBLER was pleased that in this community he had always received a large vote. He discussed fully the question of taxation, which he thought of most importance to the people, taking the same position in reference to extravagance in appro priations to State colleges and in other departments of the State government as on yesterday. Called especial at tention to the fertilizer tax-the indi rect tax for the support of Clemson College. He favored good roads, but the peo ple could not stand additional taxes and should not be taxed for this purpose. He realized that the commutation tax should not have been reduced to $1.00, but the majority of the members thought so and it had to go. Favored education, but thought the State had done its full duty when it had given its citizens a good common sch education. Did not want to pull down any of the State's higher institutions, but it was costing too much money to run them. The great evil in the State today is the lien law, and the State can never have any real prosperity until it is re 'pealed. Opposed the CBild Labor Bill because it was not a question of the State tell ing the corporations, its creatures, that they could not do certain things, but of telling its parents that they could not control their own children. COL. WM. H. SANDERS made about the same speech as yester day, favoring good roads, but not to be built by taxation if they could be se cured in any other way, opposing the Child Labor Bill; favoring education; and opposing extravagant appropria tions to State Colleges. CAPT. JNO. M. TAYLOR favored taxation and a reasonable com utatio'n tax for building good roads. Wanted the common schools brought as near as possible to perfection, and appropriations to State colleges cut down. Stated same position as at former meetings on Child Labor Bill, favoring a Bill keeping children under twelve years of age out of the mills. Wanted to pension every old soldier, whether rich or poor, as much as the State could afford.. COL. E. H. AULL thought the people needed men rather than views. He first discussed the Child Labor question. Child labor was injurious to the children who work in the mills, and being injurious, the State had a right to step in and protect its future citizen ship. He favored legislation on the subject and wanted to see both sides get together on a Bill that will be just to the mills and the operatives. Com pulsory education would settle the ques tion, and although the State was not yet ready for it, it was coming in the near future. There was nothing whatever in the negro supromacy scare. The negroes were even now, as statistics show, re ducing their illiteracy faster than the whites. But compulsory education would be some time in coming, and wise leg islation prohibiting children of tender years from working in the mills 11 hours a day and 66 hours a week and 52 weeks a year was needed and needed at once. Let the matter stand a while, and the legislation that does come, will be dras tic. In order to get wise and just leg islation, the action that is taken must come at once. Favored taxation for building good roads. This solution would reach cor porations and all parties. Position same as at yesterday's meeting. HON. JNO. F. BANkS favored good roads, but they could not be secured without taxation, and the State was poor; favored good common school education-touching briefly on these subjects.I He presented fully his objections to the Child Labor Bill, which he squarely, opposed. It was class legislation pure and simple, and no legislation should come which would interfere with family government. He was told this morn ing by a truthful man from the factory that he had never heard of children being forced into the mill. Voice: "I can tell you that they have been forced into the mill." IT+ would lead t nonmpulsory eiuca nd that to the education of the negro opulation. Immediately after the recess hour HON. F. H. DOMINICK ias introduced. He was at a consider ble disadvantage on account of a heavy ain which had begun to fall about 12 'clock, and only briefly stated his po ition. While in the legislature had approved 3ill for increase of punishment for vio ation of labor contracts and putting en year prisoners on permanent chain angs for building good roads, both of vhich passed the House and were killed n the Senate. Still favored these meas ires, and squarely opposed taxation for >uilding roads. We will never get good -oads until we get our own prisoners te !xpiate their sins right here upon the )ublic works, citing as an example the -oads in Richland County. Had voted against the Child Labor 3i11, and if sent back would do so again. Why didn't my friend Taylor make iis campaign two years ago on this ssue? There was no kick from the >peratives at the Newberry mills, and ;hat was all the people of Newberry ,ounty had anything to do with. IJAJ. F. W. HIGGINS ould favor a Child Labor Bill if one ould be secured just to all parties, bui lid not favor the one now before the egislature. A Bill could be introduced which would give the mill children an educa. :ion, and yet not invade the sacred pre incts of the home. "Gentlemen, yot nust have a bill enacted which will al ow these children to attend school dur :ng the school term, and after that t< rielp their fathers and mothers, and i: you don't get that you will have noth ing.'" Favored putting ten year prisoner. :n permanent chain gangs for buildini good roads. Wanted a contract labor law passe( making penalty for violation of con tracts the same time as the unexpirec term of the contract. Again attacked extravagance in ex penditure of appropriations to Stat colleges, giving his figures. Was pay* a tribute to Confederat soldier when the rain broke up th crowd. J. K. A. WYATT AIKEN. A Friend peaks a Word In His Behat Ih. velopd int,o a Mt rong 8tump . s'peaker. Cokesbury, S. C., Aug. 12, 1902. To The Newberry Herald and News: As a friend of Wyatt Aiken in thi Congressional race in the Third Dis trict, I want to give my views of th man, as one who has known him sinc his boyhood days. I was raised wit him, both being reared in old Cokes bury, the old time town of South Carc lina history. Both of us received ou early school training here. We wer boys together, and I want to say as friend, in companionship in "Ye olde: days' that Wyatt was always with us In those earlier years of his life, hi heart and hand were, as now, at th service of a friend in trouble, or with; stranger in need. He was always ol the side of the "Under Dog.'' Schoc days over, he worked for our interest in after years, when he was in a posi tion to do so. He has never forgotte: any of us or the old ties of youth. H attended in his earlier years the oh Cokesbury Conference School, and i later years, he graduated from Young' College in Washington, D. C. In the period of lais life when h served judge, jury and witnesses a official stenographer, he has been lose observer of the people's need and a constant student of public events I will venture to say that no man i1 this District is more thoroughly poste' on the questions of the day. He is a1 all round public spirited citizen, and i in touch with all the people of the Dis trict. It has been said, and truthfully so that Wyatt Aiken would give the las dollar he possessed to a poor man il need and trouble, but he is not mor< generous than he is true to friend ani loyal to principle by nature. A man o: the people, and his training and life ex periences have kept him so. He is th< man we want to represent us from th< 'hird District in Congress. It has been said that he would be : ailure as a public speaker, that h< ould not make a speech; that he couk not cope in argument with his asso eiates in Congress. That delusion hai been dispelled; I have heard him and: want to say that he can convince hi: ~earers on the public questions of th< day. He has developed into a strong stump speaker, and can take care o: imself in any discussion on any forum. But after all is said, it is not the Spread agle orator that "makes things come o pass'' in Congress or elsewhere. hisat e t-> h..ed \iu B lo.kini~ ke wars tw:te as long 1-y the I ue of Eureka H arness Oil.
