CANDIDATES ADDRESS
WILLIAMSBURG VOTERS.
Continued from first page.
opposing compulsory education Mr
Simms said it was simply a scheme
on the part of certain politicians to
get into office, saying that all ad-!
mitted the State was unprepared
for it. He termed compulsory education
"an abomination in the eyes
of the Lord."
CHAS A SMITH.
Lieutenant Governor C A Smith
of Timmonsville thanked the people
of Williamsburg and Kingstree
for the handsome vote they gave
him in previous races. He said in
making the race for Governor he
did not intend to appeal to prejudice
and passion, but was seeking the
office on his merit, and that his ambition
was to make South Carolina a
better State for the laboring man
to live in. Economy in the administration
of the Government, a flat
2-cent-passenger rate and reduced
freight rates were among the measures
advocated by Mr Smith. He
said he stood for universal education,
"but for compulsory educa?

for educational advancement along
all lines and the extension of educational
facilities to all the people.
MENDEL L SMITH.
Mendel L Smith of Camden was
the next candidate for Governor to
speak and was received with applause
when he took the stand. He
complimented the people of the
town and county, and referred to
the courtesy shown him on the several
occasions he had visited the
town and county to make addresses.
Mr Smith also spoke in a touching
manner of the great loss which had
come to R A Cooper, a candidate for
Governor. Mr Cooper's wife died
yesterday at Laurens and there
were many expressions of sympathy
for him, both from the candidates
and the people.
Mr Smith spoke or the importance
of the Governorship. He said he
stood for an educated and intelligent
citizenship and denied, as one
candidate opposing compulsory education
had said, that South Carolina
had done as milch for educating
the white children as any State
South of Mason and Dixon's line.
He showed that only two States in
the South. North Carolina and
Louisiana, had a greater share of
illiterates among the whites than
South Carolina and he followed
with a forcible argument for local
option compulsory education. In
telling of his intention to enforce
the law Mr Smith said that if elected
and ten responsible men would
come together and say he was not
conscientiously enforcing the law he
would turn the office over to the
Lieutenant Governor and step down.
LOWNDES J BROWNING.
Lowndes J Browning of Union
declared that the State board of
health was doing a great work in
administering the hookworm treatment.
"John G Richards ought to take
it," declared Mr Browning. "Then
maybe he would turn loose the office
of Railroad Commissioner before he
asks you for that of Governor."
Mr Browning told of the work being
done to eradicate the cattle
tick and told of his own experience
with the pest as a cattle raiser and
farmer in Union county before the
quarantine was lifted there.
The speaker then outlined his ideas
on rural credits and tax reform.
J G CLINKSCALES.
John G Clinkscales declared that
"our greatest work is the development
of our boys and girls." He
poked iun at jonn u Kicnaras, predicting:
that he would "get his dose
August 25," when the people would
want to know why he did not get
I out of the office of Railroad Commissioner,
paying him $2,000 a year,
before he ran for Governor. Charles
A Smith's position on compulsory
education was that he "wanted to
call up the mourners and love the
children into the schools." MrClinkscales
read a letter from a man who,
he said, was one of the most intelligent
in Williamsburg county, giving
pitiful instances of white illiteracy
1 in various counties of the State.
"I wish 1 had time to tell you of
my advocacy of a law providing for
HOW TO GET STRENGTH
after any sickness is purely a matter of
nourishment, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold or severe illness; the
weakened forces cannot repulse disease
germs, and this is why a relapse is so
often fatal or why chronic weakness often
follows sickness.
Restoring strength to millions of people
for forty years has proven the real need
for taking Scott's Kmulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals it ? nothing
compares with it. its pure, medicinal
nourishment, free from alcohol or opiates,
promptly creates rich blood, strengthens
the nerves and lungs to avert tuberculosis.

said Mr Clinkschles in closing.
He was presented with a big
bunch of flowers.
JOHN T DUNCAN.
John T Duncan said that John L
McLaurin had seen it was a bad season
fur "coat-tail swingers" and had
stayed out of the race for Governor.
He referred to Blease as a dose of
political ipecac that the people had
to swallow two years ago, and said
they were now trying to throw him
up. He talked about what he called
the "system" and "coat-tail swingers."
"It was the padded rolls in the city
which enabled 25.000 fraudulent
votes in the last election," declared
Mr Duncan in predicting that the
rural vote would be heard from this
year under the new re-enrolment
rules.
W C IRBY, JR.
W C Irby, Jr. of Laurens was the
last candidate for Governor to speak.
He told of his fight against the majority
report of the rules committee
in the last State convention. He de[
nounced Northern control of cotton
mills and banks and urged regulation
to keep them from forcing down
- ? 1 ^ iL -
the price or cotton ana wages 01 ine
operatives. He flayed cotton mill
mergers and went after Wall street
speculators with gloves off.
He said the cotton mill owners and
big moneyed men had gone into a
combination to bring cheap labor
<nto the State, and while he had
fought against them in the Legislature,
that body had been "cottonmill-ridden,"
and that he had been
unable to do much as a result. Mr
Irby advocated State aid to assist
poor white people to own their farms
and their homes.and illustrated what
New Zealand had done along this
line to show that it was feasible for
this state.
It was 3 o'clock when the meeting
closed. Each candidate received a
cordial welcome to Kingstree and
was accorded a respectful hearing,
and aside from the excessive heat
of the day, they all expressed themselves
as much pleased with the
meeting
