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? - - ? > ii?*? Lion, nui >tri. no aiauus, no soiu, 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. medical inspection ot school cnudren," 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 Cades Chronicles.
