OFFICE SEEKERS IN PIEDMONT SECTION CANDIDATES FOR 8TATE OFFIC1S FIND MANY CROSSWIRES. THEY PUT IN A FULL WEEK Speak in Wlnnsboro, Cheater, Lancaster, Yerkville, Qaffney and Spar. ti.nburg.?Little Excitement. The first week in the Piedmont in the travels of the candidates for state olfloes brought out a number of wiree laid crosewise in the race for governor. Attacks and counter attacks ef a tnore or less damaging character were developed and laid before the people for consideration. These attacks were induced primarily because of the supposed action and decrees of the so-called elimination conferences that were held in Columbia and because of what has been termed the "elimination editorial" appearing in a Columbia newspaper more than a week ago. In short, the newspaper favored Robert A. Cooper. Richard I. Manning and John Q. Clinkscales. in the order named, as its candidates on which the anti-Blease votes in the State should be concentrated. As a result V *>f this, attacks have been directed against the public records of these J U.i? V? iV. IHIW CBiiaiuairs uy wc iuior uiuoi antl-Blease candidates, Lowndes J. Browning, Charles A. Smith and Menx del L. Smith. This has furnished the main theme during the past week. The elimination conferences hare heen excoriated by Mr. Browning,, who charged that Mr. Manning and Mr. Cooper were present at the meeting of the first conference. Mn Coop-! ' er replied that he went there to oppose the scheme of elimination and j Mr. Manning said that neither he nor any of his friends acting under his re ' queers had anything to do with the meeting. No less bitter In atack hare been the speeches of Charles A. Smith, who In presenting hlB own candidacy not only attacks the editorial policy of the newspaper but prefers charges against the three men chosen. This disruption among the anti-administration candidates has found a parallel no less striking in the combined attacks of Charles Carroll Sims, William C. Irby, Jr., and John B. Adger Mullally, Blease candidates, on Jbhn G. Richards, who Is also a friend of Got. Blease. Mr. Simms at the Charleston meeting two weeks a^ro began his attack on Mr. Richards and has kept in up continuously since. He has taken Mr. Richards to account for his political affiliations. He contends that Mr. Richards is a friend of Senator Ben Tillman. Mr. Gonaales, editor of The State, and Got. Ansel, all enemies of Got. Blease. for whom Mr. Richards now Tolces the ties of friendship. "Now, ain't he a daisy?" eloquently questions Mr. at klo I piiii.iiis as a iTuuciuoiuu iu uio ti& ?u?. Mr. Simms, however, does not confine his attacks to this one side of I his opponent's record. He charges that Mr. Rlcabrds is "a great seeker of majorities" because of his changing Tie*Ts on the liquor question. At one time, says Mr. Simms, Mr. Richards war a dispensarylte; four years ago he was a prohibitionist and in the present campaign he advocates local opt'on. "He is a chameleon," declares Mr. Simms, "for his hues are so aried " Though Richard I. Manning at the Orangeburg meeting week before last injected the question of Bleaseism the tier anti-administration candidates continues to plv at the issue of law ntforceraent with an excoriation of the injudicious use of the pardoning power. Mr. Manning maintains that the present administration has made of 3outh Carolina a "State disgraced."* He villifies the pardon record of the governor and argues that It. is the basic reason of the disregard for law. More eloquent in this attack are the poeches of Mendel L. Smith. At the Spartanburg meeting last Saturday an Interesting example of the opinion of the people was shown. Before an audience of several hundred persons Mr. Smith took a hand primary on the comparative safety of Hfe in this state at the present time *Dd two or four years ago. Only six persons held up their hands in the honest belief that life is as safe now as four years ago and all other hands in the audience were upheld in sup port of the negative side. Mr. Simms has continued his attacks or. Richard I. Manning during the past week for being tha one that though he cried "peace, peace" was yet the first to Inject the factional issue into the race for governor. Mr. Manning has stated in reply that though he wants no factionalism yet he realizes that the defeat of Bleaseism, "the paramount issue of the campaign," will 'nsure peace and harmony to thip state in the years to come. i^'hile these wires of gubernatorial etndidates have crossed in tLo greatest profusion the Issues of enforcement of law and compulsory education continue to hold the forefront of the tag? in tho consideration of constructive legislation. The platitude of enforcement of law has found unanitaous oor.currenoe, for as some of the ttleaae candidates have said?"WHo is ti favor of disorder?" This side re mark, however, has had no effect on the forceful and specific statements of ether candidates who continue their bitter denunciation of the glaring Instances of the disergard for law. "If I am elected governor," Mr. Cooper hat said on several stand#, "and take my oath of office on January 17 next, there will be no race track gaasbltng In Charleston on the 18th if I have to get the aid of the Sonth Caroline militia." Statements no less pesitlve In reference have keen made by a number of candidates and with few exception* have won the plaudits of the audience. All of the candidates for lieutenant governor have voiced their advocacy of a strict enforcement of lew. The question of compulsory educat'on is approached by practically all of the gubernatorial candidates, there being but one advocate of an lmme dlate law of statewide eireot ror educational purposes. John 0. dltnkacalea, regardless of the numerous attacks that hare bean advanced against his position, remains unchanged At another place in this issue stand Mendel L. Smith and Richard I. Manning, favoring the local option feature. Robert A. Cooper advocates ample provision of school facilities before the onactrnent of a compulsory school attendance law. Though an opponent to the term "compulsory" as applied to education John G. Richards is also In favor of school facilities. He maintains that after provision has been made that an open invitation on the part of the state to the children, to whom text books are to be furnished free, that the schools will be filled by the children of white people. me liquor quetsirou, wuu cue hilbvju on candidate and discussions of law and order and education, hae lost its prominence as an issue during the past week. There is but one advocate of prohibition, while the others who voice their position stand In favor of local option. Because the gubernatorial race la rapidly drawing to a close the interest in the minor races has waned to a large extent. From a sensational standpoint the flst-flght between M. C. Willis and W. W. Moore, candidates for adjutant and inspector general on the stand at Yorkvllle last Thursday was decidedly the feature. The quartette seeking the office of lieutenant governor, Andrew J. Bethea, William M. Hamer, J. A. Hunter ana *j. nanx iveiiey, iurnisn spectacular challenges and personal references that delight each audience. TWENTY RULES FOR RAISING BEEF IN THE SOUTH. Washington, D. C.?Useful rules for raising beef successfully in the South are given in Farmers' Bulletin 580 Just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture under the title of "Beef Production in the South." After discussing in some details the available pasture lands and grassee, the Bulletin summarizes conditions aa follows: Eradicate the tick on the farm. Good pastures ar^ essential for profitable beef production. Plant pasture grases over the whste lands. Use purebred beef bulls for grading up the native stock. Always select the best heifers for breeding purposes. Use the coarse fodder, straws, and the stalk fields for wintering: the breeding herd. Wean the calves when pastures get short. Put them In the cornfield and pea fields while weaning and teach them to eat cottonseed cake or cottonseed meal. Raise and finish beef cattle on the same farm when possible. A mixture of cottonseed meal, cottonseed hullB. and alfalfa bay Is a good ration for fattening calves.' Silage is the best roughage for fattening any class of cattle. More care Is necessary in feeding calves than in feeding grown cattle. At the present prices corn silage Is a cheaper and better feed for fattening beef cattle than cottonseed hulls. Hulls and cottonseed meal make an excellent fed for a short feeding pe-| riod, but do not produce good gains An cottln oftnr tho fhirH m nn t b It Is not entirely satisfactory to use corn stover as the sole roughage. When Johnson grass hay costs $10 and hulls $7 per ton it Is more profitable to feed the hulls alone. ? Summer feeding on the pasture Is usually more profitable than winter | feeding. 1 Finishing cattle early in the summer is usually more profitable than finishing them later in the season. Fattening steers on grass and cottonseed cake is nearly always more profitable than grazing them without feed. Thin steers make larger and cheaper daily gains than fleshy ones when put on pasture. Pound for pound cold-pressed coti tonseed cake is not equal to the oom mon cottonseed cake. The use of a small amount of corn In addition to cottonseed cake has proven profitable for feeding steers on grass. The Bulletin, with Its twenty pagee and nine illustrations, also contains an interesting discussion of the various breeds most serviceable in grading up the native stock.
