Ul wnmi nivnii Concluded from page 4 educational facilities, thought every boy and girl should be able, at least, to read and write, and thought if our present system were run on a more business-like principle they would soon be able to do so. He charged that school trustees do not all do their duty. He favors all public institutions, but they should be run on a more economical basis, and charge^ that a most damnable system of extravagance exists at Clemson College and that our Representatives had no right to turn loose so much money on Clemson College. He was opposed to the present system of working roads, does not believe taxes should be increased, favors more liberal pensions to - - - ' * -1 1!-- !/ fold soldiers,ana rural ponce u we cou get right kind of men for the place; i some of them don't do their duty , and others do too much. He prom-> ^sed, if elected, to represent every | interest of the county except the manufacturer and the railroads. F R HEMINGWAY. / Mr Hemingway said 1 oelieved in education and stood for good schools; didn't want to see money wasted and believed in liberal support of public institutions. Did not think we need a State-wide compulsory edi ucation law, but favored it in local ' ! option form. He favored good roads and the law providing for rural policemen. He was in favor of better Iqotc fnr fhp workinc man and a more liberal pension to the old soldiers. Did not believe in false economy, but full benefit should be had for all money spent. He advocated a tax reform and equalization that will make the large property-holder pay in proportion to the small one. In concluding his remarks,Mr Hemingway said he stood for law and order, that we cannot afford to stay the progress of civilization by disregarding law, and upon those principles he asked the support of the people at the polls August 25. H A KENNEDY. Mr Kennedy said he was no speaker but had come from the plow and as a poor,honest farm boy was there to aDDeal to the farmers from the | depth of his heart. He believed they had been tramped on long enough and asked them to cast their votes for a man who would stand by them in the Legislative halls. R J KIRK. Mr Kirk thanked the people of Juhnsonville for the splendid vote given him there two years ago and made it known that he felt at home in their midst. He told of measures i heiiad been instrumental in placing < upon the statute books that were 1 beneficial to the people of the coun- < ty, and promised, if re-elected,to do 1 his utmost towards the passage of a ] 6 per cent interest law. In regard < to compulsory education, Mr Kirk i said he stood now just where he s stood in the Legislature during its i last session. He was in favor of i compulsory education in local option s form bu4 would not advocate a com- I pubory education bill such as Mr < E YOU e Merchandise.

C. Clinkscales advocates. With regard to reports that had been circulated to the effect that he had gone over to Mr Blease, he said they were untrue, that he favored no faction. He had supported several of Mr Blease's bills and voted for his twocent rate bill, also that he had sustained several of his vetoes. He; had supported the Fortner bill because he considered that to have done otherwise he would have acted in violation of his oath of office. When asked if he was in favor of rural policemen he said he was since the dispensary had been voted back into the county. DR J H PRATT. The Doctor said it was a pleasure to be with the people of Johnsonville to discuss the political topics of the day and hour; he thought there had been enough strife and bitterness in our State politics. He believes the great European war will be an advantage to us after tht war clouds have passed. After referring briefly to several problems of great National importance the speaker got on home ground and said he stood for educational improvement, for better roads, for medical inspection of public schools, a two-cent flat rate fare on all large railroads; for the eradication of the cattle tick, extension of rural credits, liberal pensions to old soldiers, longer school terms and better school buildings, and thought it was up to the Legislature to foster the educational interests of the county. He said he was a friend of Clemson college but thought too much money was going to it. He was in favor compulsory education in local option form, and rural police. E F PROSSER. "Fellow citizens, I am one of you; I was reared among you,and you all know me; four years ago I ran for the Legislature and told you that if I got beaten I'd go back to the plow. I was beat and I've kept my word," said Mr Prosser. He said all the other candidates had told what they were going to do, but he was going to tell them what he was not going I to do, and added, "I ain't going to promise you a durn thing"?and he didn't. R K WALLACE. The "Judge" was the last of the candidates for the House of Representatives to speak. He started out by defining the qualifications in men who seek certain positions or public offices. He said he believed in education, that its need was apparent everywhere, but did not think our i county was ready for a compulsory | pHnr?ntinn law Hp was in favor of I good roads, because we need them, and outlined a plan by which he j would have them. This plan provides for the election of three men as a board of road inspectors, or 1 commissioners,then divide the coun- ( ty into three sections, giving each ' commissioner one section, in which would be held responsible for the j soads. An equal division of the j chaingang force would be made imong the commissioners and each section share equally and alternatelately in the use of the county road ( machinery. Mr Wallace devoted 1 some time to a discussion of the i iresent game and fish laws of the i :ounty, which ihe claimed were a i TO Oil iave no sale on, bu ce to make your dollar v^u., dea!

He favored protective measures along this line th^t will protect our game and fish. He was not opposed to appropriating money to public institutions,but thought public funds should be morp wisely and judiciously spent. He was in favor of rural policemen and a better system of taxation. The two candidates for the State Senate were the last of the orators to be heard, and while it was noticeable that the crowd had become a little v restless, they all remained quiet and respectful. The first of these to speak was the present incumbent. E c EPPS. Mr Epps said that conditions which existed four years ago invited him into public life, but he did not yield until after other capable men had been solicited and declined. He spoke of the deep personal interest and pride he feels in the county's progress and her splendid citizenship. He said he had been a Senator from Williamsburg county and not from Kingstree and had worked for what he thought were the best interests of the whole county. He fought the compulsory education bill because he did not believe the people wanted it. He was in favor of education and was ready to give his support to any measure that would, in the opinion of his constituents, improve the educational ad . it. 17A ?al4 vantage ui uie I'uuutj. xxc icu that he was in a better position to serve his people in the Senate chamber than ever before. Had no personal {motives to gratify, and if he should be re-elected he would always look faithfully after the interests of the people of Williamsburg county and that he was under no obligation to any class or faction. HUGH MCCUTCHEN. Mr McCutchen thought the audience was tired and promised not to detain them much longer. He said that Chairman Davis had not stated all the facts in introducing him, inasmuch as he had failed to state that "I will be your next Senator." He told of his boyhood days in the vicinity and pleasant recollections of the community. He said that 14 vpnrs ao-o Edds and himself and sev era] others started out for the place Britton holds. Epps dropped out, but he remained in the race and was beat out?which cured him of sucking eggs for 14 years. Friends had solicited him to enter this race, j he said, "and if you see fit to send me to Columbia, I'll do my part."i He was interested in the county's prosperity, was president of four of the leading concerns in Kingstree and each one was far from a failure. He closed by telling a good joke on i an old negro preacher. At the request of Chairman Davis, Mr P H Stoll made a short speech md the first meeting of the 1914 ;ampaign closed in peace, good will1 larmony.
