Anticipating that this matter would :ome up, as Mr Singletary was bought to be in the second ace, Chairman Williams had vritten (Jen Wilie Jones, chairnan of the State committee,who eplied that under the statutes ,'otes could not be counted for iny candidate who failed to file his account belore the election.

Some Good Reasons Why He Should Represent South Carolina. i Some of the politicians have charged that Hon E D Smith has used the Southern Cotton associatian as a means of riding into office} but the thinking man, the farmer? the real producer of wealth and even the business man must admit that the work done by E D Smith through out the South and in South Carolina particularly, has brought more money to the farmer, the merchant, the doctor, the lawyer and every other class than that of any other man who has espoused the cause of the South. His work has brought results: the increased price of cotton which Mr Smith and his associates are largely responsible for bringing about, has made the people of South Carolina?all of them more prosperous than they have ever beeu before. Mr Smith attended the University of South Carolina and is an alumnus of Wofford college. He received his Master's degree at Yauderbilt University, the great Methodist institution of the South. He comes of distinguished ancestors, being a brother of the lamented Bishop A Coke Smith. Mr Smith is an orator of national repute and would be able to hold bis own with the "giants" of the Senate. <CF.. n tpbh? ?

Mr Smith has a world of energy; he would not only hold his own on the floor of the SeDate, but his energetic work in the committee room would count for South Carolina. Adv. It A Card.
