COUNTY CANDIDATES
AT TRIO TUESDAY.
(Continued From Page One).
taught school. He strongly advocated
the improvement of rural schools
and the enlightenment of children.
Too much was being done for higher
education to the neglect of elementary
schools. He realizes that the office
of Superintendent of Education
is a man's size job, but means to fill
it,if elected, in a competent manner.
He believes in only competent teachers
and intends to give rural schools
most of his attention,while the whole
of his services shall be devoted to
the office, which he regards as tne
most important in the gift of the
people. Mr McElveen received applause.
Mr J G McCullough, offering for
re-election to the office of Superintendent
of Education, following Mr
McElveen, said it was delightful to
come with beautiful words, but the
man of works has done more. He
gave an outline of the work accomplished
during his tenure of office.
He had attended many schools and
tra\ekd over 1,600 miles attending
educational meetings. Last year
there were in the county sixteen
schools that ran less than six months,
but there would not be more than
five this year, Mr McCullough said,
and that he always kept an eye open
for the small schools and improved
them whenever circumstances would
nai-mit Hp tnkpc hi<J hat nff to nr
man when it comes to better qualifications
for school supervision work
FOR TREASURER.
Candidates for the offcce of County
Treasurer spoke next,Mr W Dodd
Daniel being the first speaker. He
pointed out that' he was not a politician,but
a farmer; was competent tc
fill the office, and if elected, would
give the people of Williamsburg the
best service of which he was capable.
It was a pleasure to be with
the people of Trio and he would appreciate
their support at the primary.
Mr W E Snowden was the next
speaker in the race for Treasurer.
He regretted that limit of time prevented
him from making a live, interesting
literary address.and would
confine himself to a business talk.
On account of che great calamity
wrought by the storm, people
going to have a hard time paying
their taxes and .vould want to know
to whom they were paying their
money. He assured them that he
was capable and well qualified to fill
this responsible office,and if elected,
the people could feel assured that
their business was in the hands of
one who knows how to take care of
it, and he thought it would be a sad
thing"if Williamsburg couldn't elect
a man to fill the office as acceptably
as the present incumbent."
Mr K H Smith saia tnai ne was no
stranger, had been before them two
years ago. He thought it was evident
that there is a desire for a
change in this important office, as
evidenced by the number of candidates
in the race from various parts
of the county. He thanked the audience
for their support two years
ago anu asked for a continuance with
a few more votes added. He was assured
of an increase of votes wherever
he had been in the county.
Mr J W Cook, offering for re-election,
said he was back on the job
again. He thanked the voters foi
j what they did for him 14 years ago
| had been doing for him since anc
for what they were going to do for
him two w^eks hence. He though;
every well established household re
quired a "daddy" and a cook; they
i had these at the court house?"Dad
i dy" Montgomery and J Wesley Cook
1 He had made a good cook,had never
burned anyone's bread and didn't
| intend even to scorch it. Referring
i to tax executions, he said it was i
matter over which he had absolute
ly no control, that'frequently execu
tions were issued on account of er
rors made by people in making ta>
returns. He was applauded.
Mr C J Rollins was the last candi
date for Treasurer to speak. lie saic
i woe t.lo.jcjrT tn l.o with tht> i?ifi
lit UttO fJl V. Uk \,\4 VKM w " 1 vta -zens
of Trio, told them he was mak
ing the race on his merits and i1
j elected would endeavor to rendei
i the best service of which he was ca
j pable.
j Judge P M Brockinton, offering
for re-election to the office of Pro
' bate Judge,with no opposition,made
ta very pleasing little address, thank
i ing the people for their support anc
! expressing his deep appreciation o:
the confidence they had placed ii
, him.
Mr J J B Montgomery was callec
and presented "the next County Au
ditor", for he has no opposition. He
said he had been working for th(
people of the county for 25 years it
various capacities,and may be for 21
more. Said he had never made an]
promises but did his duty as he sav
it. He was the youngest old man ir
the county and challenged anyone
that didn't believe it. He referrec
to the system of making tax return!
as being the cause of so many exe
cutions being issued, and said that i
was not the fault of the Treasurer
He closed by thanking the people foi
what they did for him 14 years ag<
and for what they are going to d<
, right on.
Mr J N Hammet, offering for Su
pervisor, was not present.
FOR CLERK OF COURT.
Mr H 0 Britton, for re-election t<
' the office of Clerk of Court, told th<
audience he was again seeking th<
, office on his record. He was not wel
t and would not attempt to make i
speech. It was his sixty-eighth birth
i day.
Mr J 0 Carroway was glad to havi
I as a running mate one of Williams
burg's honored sons and had not i
word of criticism to offer agains
him; he had been yourefficient Clerl
of Court for ten years. Mr Carra
. way said he was seeking the offici
I on his own platform of fitness an<
f ability. He had been asked why hi
. quit preaching. He had not quit, hi
i said, and would never refuse to tel
|. the story of Jesus and His love, an<
that he bears the endorsement o
the South Carolina conference. Hi
i had preached for 14 years at a sala
. ry at no time amounting to ovei
$500; he had stood behind the plow
and been his own plowman for tw<
years in order to earn bread witt
which to feed the little olive branch
es with which God had blessed hii
home. He needed the office anc
would appreciate their support, h<
i toid the audience.
F^R HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
! Hon R K Wallace was the first o;
the candidates called, but not beinj
! present, Hon S A Grt:ha.n was" lh;
' fir t of the Legislative aspirants t<
appear un the stand, he mere^ aui
nouncing that he stood for re-elec
I
! tion on his record.
Mr S 0 Ladds'.who aspires to rep
resent the people of the eastern sec
tion of the county in the Legislature
said he believed there was something
'serious ahead, a situation that call:
for deep and serious thought, foi
backbone and brains in the Legisla
tive halls. He has these qualifiea|
tions.he told the crowd, or he woul<
j not offer for the office. He also be
j lieves we have too many laws on tht
statute books; they are confusing:
he said, and he would vote againsl
every bill brought up unless he knew
its passage was absolutely necessary
i He believes in education and thinks
. it wroug to educate the classes anc
| not the masses. It was wrong to rob I
the taxpayers of their money without
letting a portion of it come back
;ts them; believes in biennial sessions
i |
> of the Legislature and is unalterably
" opposed to woman suffrage.
Mr J W Kennedy was the next
I speaker and told the audience that
, it W8s the "thesis" of his ambition
to go to the State Legislature; to be
i the mouthpiece of the people of Wil{liamsburg
county, and that he had
, worked as hard as any man for white
supremacy. He had no new bills to
propose as their representative, and
1 declared that he had never failed to
: concentrate an influence in Legisla- 1
i tive halls. Thinks the man who ouns 1
1
only one hen and a brood of chicks 1
dt serves the best protection the law j 1
can give him. He promised if elect- 1
: ed to post himself upon the finances
of the county so as to enlighten an <
j enquirer in an instant. He expa- i
I! tinted on the bonded indebtedness!;
| of the county and exclaimed with j1
-; emphasis that "relief must come." \ i
F His idea of :he tobacco warehouse'!
* |
r business was to have a sworn weigh-.
er and an expert grader, who will i!
sort the tobacco into grades one,:'
r two, three, etc, and see to it that if J
Mr A gets 20c a pound for his grade:
? 2 Mr B gets the same.
-1 Mr D E McCutchen was the last1
1 legislative candidates called. He was
f sorry he had not met more of the
t Trio people, but told his hearers i
that since the storm he had not been !
1 able to get into their community.
- Had been very busy as one of their :
; county commissioners, especially
i 6ince the relief work had been taken :
1 up in the county by the federal
> government. Mr McCutchen said he
j was no politician, was only a plain i
i farmer citizen of the county and if '
1 elected would giye people the best
J services in him. He received ap- I
1 plause. ]
3 CANDIDATES FOR SHERIFF.
There are eight candidates for this
1 office and they were all on hand
Tuesday cocked and primed. They |
r are a bunch of good fellows and
3 there seems to exist not the least
3 tinge of bitterness between them
because of any real or presumable
advantage one may have over the
j other.
Mr W E Allen was the first of the
d big eight to be called by the chair2
man. He simply announced his
fanirl if urns imnnssihle to
1 i make a speech, but he would make
a a good Sheriff.
Mr H U Kinder said he was no
orator; that when he should have
2 been learning to make speeches he
- was between the plow handles on
i his father's farm. He regards the
t oifice of Sheriff as one of much im1
portance and promised that if elect
ed he would do everything in his
2 power to fill it creditably, and proi
posed to maintain at his own exe
i pense a pack of well trained blood
e hounds for the free use of the peo1
pie of the county whenever their ser1
vices mierht be needed. He said the
f present Sheriff was "a splendid gen2
tleman, but he is your old Sheriff
- and I am going to be your young
r Sheriff"; that he started running for
r tho thrpp vears aco and was!1
) going to be in the second primary.
1 He thanked the people for the sup- (
- port given him four years ago, and
s concluded by telling the preacher1
beer story and asked that if they 1
? couldn't help Kinder not to help the |
bear, as he had worked hard for the
office and wanted to be Sheriff bef
cause he needed the job. ]
r Mr J H Epps was next ?pe- ker. I
. He gave a brief ten of his career; l
) j lie was born and raised at Cades, J
iiuu *.aa nciu i.?e p. > ? nuiiaUs until
- it was decided there were too many
of them on their father's farm and
he had to get out and seek other
- employment. He had worked with
, road engineers on public highways.
: was elected to tne Morence ponce
force and later to the office of chief
I 01 police at Kingstree, to which po
j sition he had been elected for a sec
j oni term and feels peculiarly fitted
1 j for the office of Sheriff, to obtain
-1 which he asked the support of the
j audience.
, j Mr Geo J Graham, who has filled
tj the office under the auditorium of
r j the court house for nearly sixteen
. years, told the crowd that if they
5 saw fit to elect him for four more i
1 years he would serve them to the J i
seat of his ability and would not
isk for their suffrage again. He
?aid he could Dot make them any
promises, as Mr Kinder had done,
with reference to the pack of train?d
blood hounds, because he regard?d
them as a farce, although he had
ilways kept two hounds at the coun:y
jail but put little confidence in
them. The Sheriff said he had served
:he people of the county in many
*ajs, that he was the only living
nan arrested for connection with
;he Klu Klux clan. He wouldn't
promise to keep hotel or open house
it Kingstree for his friends when
they came to town as Mr Epps had
promised, nor could he afford to pay
from $100 to $150 for blood hounds,
jut he would <}o his best to uphold
the law at all times.
Mr J Y McGill announced his candidacy
and said "If you think I can
3erve you as your next Sheriff I ask
you to give me your support." He
was no speaker and did r.ot think it
required a speech-making man to
make a good Sheriff.
Mr W T Wilkins announced himself
as a candidate for Sheriff; told
the audience that he was competent
to fill the position and would appreciate
their support.
Mr W E Brockinton thanked the
people of Trio for the support they
MMtAn Uirw rvrAirinno nn m notrrnc
uau J^IVCIi 111(11 ill yi t V 1UUO v.Oiiipai^uo
pnd told them that it was his highest
ambition to make them the best
Sheriff they had ever had.
Mr W T Rowell, who had so efficiently
and patiently presided over
the meeting, and in many other
forms shown his big heartedness towards
the forty odd candidates on
the ground, did not intend to make
a speech, but bis friends insisted,
whereupon he told them that he was
36 years old and they had known
him all of his life. He had no political
record but wanted a chance
to make one and thanked them for
what they were going to do for him
on the 29th of August. Said his
office would be at Kingstree and
he'd be on the job, "and when you
come up there, come to see Tom."
The county candidates are speakin
at Greelyville today. They will
be at Cades next Tuesday.
Just the Thing for Diarrhoea.
"About two years ago I had a severe
attack of diarrhoea which lasted
over a week," writes \V C Jones,
Buford, N D. "I became so weak
that I could not stand upright. A
druggist recommended Chaml?er'
* ? /-il- .1 I nt 1
inin'S uoiic, ^noiera aim Loarrnoea
Remedy. The first dose relieved me
and w ithin two days I was as well as
ever." Many druggists recommend
this remedy liecause they know that
it is reliable. Obtainable everywhere.

No matter how troubled the waters
may be, if you look you can
always find a stone upon which to
step or a harbor in which safety
may be found. Life holds more
joy than sorrows for those who cultivate
an open mind.
Cure for Cholera Morbus.
'When our little boy, now seven
years old, was a baby he was cured of
cholera morbus by Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,"
writes Mrs Sidney Simmons,
Fair Haven, N V. "Since then other
members of my family have used
* i e i' 1
tins valuable medicine ior couc anu
bowel troubles with good satisfaction
and I gladly endorse it as a remedy
[)f exceptional merit." Obtainable
everywhere.
The loafer, the kicker and the
bluffer are three of a kind, and the

them they would not be seen at all.
