Georgetown, July 26. — A crowd of about 768 person? heard candidates for state offices present their pleas here today as they opened another week of county-to-couhty campaign ing. The meeting was held in the school auditorium but a large number of lis teners remained out under the trees as extension loud speakers blared, out the speeches. When Burnet R. Maybank, of Char leston, was introduced h e was given a tremendous ovation and at the close of his talk he was presented three large baskets of flowers and more thunderous aplause. Neville Bennett, and Cole L. Blease also were given flowers. After Maybank, th e fifth guberna torial speaker, had finished, more than half of the crowd walked out with him. Discussing relief money, Maybank declared, “It was Walter Andrews and myself wbo got the first relief money for the people of this state. I’m still bringing It into this state, and when I am Governor, I’ll still be going to Washington to get it for you. “There isn’t any state in the United States that deserves any mor e or is entitled to any more than is South Carolina.” Maybank advocated adver tising the resouces of the state to get more industries to settle here. Miller Speaks E. T. Miller in discussing his op ponent, E. Roy Stone, in his race, for reelection as state treasurer, said, “He’s the gentleman who prognosti cates the elections and if his calcu lations would be no better In the treasurer’s office than they were in the last election, God save the state.” Stone was not present at the meeting. R. E. Hanna, candidate for lieuten ant governor, asserted, “If you elect me lieutenartt governor, don’t give me a plug for a governor.” J. E. Har ley, the incumbent, said he had the respect of every member of the senate and of the house for his fairness and impartiality in making decisions. L. Gaston Wannamaker advocated preservation of natural resources, cheaper transportation rates, and government in the open. Cole L. Blease, first gubernatorial speaker, jabbed at Maybank for get ting an out-of-state engineering con cern for the Santee-Cooper. “You fellows looking for Santee- Cooper jobs had better get them be fore the primary, because some peo ple are going to be disappointed in who is going to be elected governor, John Hughes Cooper declared. “I am a strong contender in this race, Except for Governor Blease, I have more votes by several thousands than all the rest. F. M. Earterlin, denouncing the evils of alcohol, said, “Liquor is man’s greatest enemy. The only per iod of Prosperity America enjoyed was when we had national prohibi tion Wyndham M. Manning stated, “I'm making no promises, neither offering jobs, nor withholding them. We are in financial difficulty. We do owe money and we have an appropriation bill that will land us In a deficit.” He said that, the most vital issue fac ing the state was law enforcement. Ben E. Adams told of his record as a representative from Richland county and advocated publicity in all government affairs, and all th e money spent by the state to be placed in the appropriation bill: “Turn the light on the WPA in South Carolina,” he declared in crit icizing the higher ups getting most of the relief money. Neville Bennett asserted, “The main issue Is whether you are going to have a governor run by the political machines in Columbia and Charles ton or by th e people of the state.” He attacked the WPA wage scale in discriminating between the varv ous counties in the state and read excerpts from the law enforcement re port about vic e conditions in Charles ton. D. T. Blackmon, promising to open up on the various candidates, said “What it takes to put some of the candidates in their places, I’ve it.” He stated h e favored giving pedes trians and bicyclists a sidewalk along side of the highways. “And after I am governor and get rid of all the graft in government, we will have enough money to do it. 4 SALUDA VALLEY LEAGUE How they stand: Won Lost Pot.

ASK THEM ABOUT IT Representative Senn has promised if sent back to the legislature to make an effort to have personal property exempted in an amount which would free from taxes, the tools with which th e farmer makes his bread and the bed he sleeps upon and the stove he cooks upon. It is a disgrace for any county to lay a tax on the little per sonal property of a class always hard put to make ends meet even with the labor of children and women folk. Every voter in the county should demand from every candidate for the legislature how he stands on this is sue and no answers less than Yes or No should be accepted. The leth argy and indifference of small farm ers toward political solidity keeps them in bondage, and denies to those they bring into the world the chance to rise above th e level of serfdom. The exemption of his personal prop erty will not remedy the farm-tenant situation but it will help, and may be starch his spine to do something for himself—seeing others are inter ested in his plight. WILL IT END IN “40 ACRES AND A MULE” Sometime ago w e gave some figures to show that one third of Williams burg county has gone into the hands of Yankee plutes for hunting and fishing purposes. It is now rumored that fully as much of Clarendon county will go off th e tax books, .and under the waters of the huge Santee-Cooper scheme. One corporation near Eutaw- ville, it is said, with 30 thousands of acres that will unload on Santee- Cooper. There are many other thou sands of acres that will go the same route. Up in McCormick county, which should never have been bom, and poor at best, “Uncle Sam” has engaged in an immense forestry fcheme that will remove about a third of its area from the tax books. Th e report is .that hundreds of others, beyond the dead line, are hiking out, to avoid tax bankruptcy. In other sections, in fact right under our noses, thousands of acres are being absorbed on the plea of making landowners out of tenants. In the meantime a* a result of wage- hour legislation nobody who can help himself will pull a bellcord over Ba laams ass, when others, not his su perior are pulling down a dollar an hour for unskilled labor in towns and cities. i The old umbrella farmer, on his saddle horse, is now an antique. It will not be long before he will be pulling the bell cord, or turn loose his holdings on “Uncle Sam,” as many are now doing. Forty or less years ago, to write such stuff, would have been set down as socialsitic anathema. Can you deny it today? The handwriting is on the wall as clear and plain as it was at Belshaz zar’s feast. Who are fast owning the property of St. Matthews and every other town and city — the mortgagors or the mortagagees? In one small ru ral county we notice 66 candidates hunting office. In another 62, and so on up and down th e line. Pie, but not plough is the increasing cry. Calhoun Times. .
