Orangeburg Times and Democrat. "One of the prominent candidates for governor during the next two years Is Dr. John O. Cllnkscales. He Is a man of much ability, simple and unassuming, with strong convictions, and honesty of purpose and charac? ter throughout. His Influence over the State is extensive as n result of the many years be has devoted to the cause of education. Columbia. Clem son and Wofford Colleges have each been the seat of his earnest efforts, and after these years of constant fight with Ignorance ho Is waging the battlo for State-wide compulsory education. "One of hi., fellow candidates, Mr. Browning, charred him recently with ha\ Ing modified his position on this question, and th it he "Is now satis? fied with sixty days a year." Prof. <'llnksca1es denied that, and said It had alreudy heen printed that he ad? vocated three months us the mini? mum term of school attendance for the nen law Aguln, the same candi? date charged him with being In favor f Stato-wlde prohibition, and at? tempted to drag blm Into a public avowal of that purpose. The reply was, 'State-wide prohibition has nothing whatever to do with this ampau n so far as John Q. Clink cales l:? concerned." "Before the campaign opened Dr., Tlnkacnlcs sent to several news nepers a typewritten brief of remarks be would make dur ng the campaign, and in this paper, ii uie public before the speeches com? menced, he didn't Sty anything about ?avorlng State-wide prohibition. At be same time he stated his position ts to compulsory education, and gave rbree months as the minimum, which clearly shows that he has not come lown on either Issue. "Now comes the Sumter Watchman >nd Sojthron (whose article we re >rint Ir another column) saying that te has taken occasion to "sneer at he appropriation of $ JO,000 by the Uate of South Carolina to obtain a mni.ir amount from the federul gov? ernment" for tho purpose of tick eradication. It goes on to say: " Tho development and future prosperity of South Carolina as an agricultural community Is depend-; ent upon the eradication of cattle tick and the raising of live stock on a larger scale than heretofore! possible, and any ono who hinders the ?...od work that Is being done by Clemson College in co-op.ra? tion with the Cnlted States depart ? n- ni '-f aqneulti.rc is re. friend of the farmer. I'rof Cllnkscales sneers at the' lam legislature for appropriating1 $30.000 for th k eradication und it la possible to infer thut he would' oppeee future appropriations to carry on the work und would veto ap-l proprhttlon* of this phase of farm* extension work. If he should be elect? ed governor.' Which H entire misrepresentation of the stand of Prof Cllnkscales, either purposelx ot Igimrantly. and is calculated t.. barm hii.i in the esti? mation of tho farrntTS who read that paper. I'rof. Cllnkscales did not kio rr af i tw . ;.|.i-opri.it ion 11 h op? ponents said that I ornpulsory educa? tion would wreeR the State financial ly. and he replied that If the state could spend I'.o.noo to save cows, it | ought to be aide to spend some monev1 to save tho boys nnd girls. Which, to our mind, Is good doetrine, and not detrimental to the farmers or any? body else. "As does overy man of good seatt Prof, riir.kscalcs stands for every? thing that will benefit tho farmer, and every other South Carolinian He does not oppose spending monev to raise better hSSJS, better cattle, but ho think* vs. ?au .fiord at the same time to spend some to raise better men and women. And he's rigid The farmers will not be fooled b\ such pohtii.il toinmsrot us that Prof. Cllnkscales Is opposed t,, ih. ir Inter? est."? Ofa)gSJSe*Jrfl Times and Demo? crat. The abovt explanation In defense of Prof. CUnkscales' position is both timely and necessary, in the circum? stances, and is a striking exhibition of the zeal and unquestioning loyalty of his friend who edits the Orangeburg Times and Democrat, but It would be more convincing and satisfactory had it been made by Prof. CUnkscales in his own proper person. Education is one of the great requisites of good citizenship, and the day that a State has nn educated people, poor as well as rich, the demagogue will be shorn of his influence and power, but the Immediate enactment of a State-wide compulsory education law will not usher* in the educational millenium for South Carolina. Prof. CUnkscales dreams of the transformation of a whole State and the banishment of ignorance in the twinkling of an eye by tho simple expedient of legislative enactment, forgetting that all great reforms move slowly and are the work of years of labor. He would erect a great super structure without giving thought to the foundations necessary to sustuin it?in other words his eyes are blind? ed to practical and essential consider? ations and ho sees only the consum? mation of all our hopes?an intelli? gent and educated citizenship, made so by their own sacrifice and co-uper atlve effort. Prof. CUnkscales shows himself impatient of practical considerations and would brush hard facts aside with a wave of the hand and sneer, which is tho surest possible method of defeating uny great undertaking. The men who accomplish great reforms are those who have tho vision to j dream great dreams and the patience, zeal and industry to work with the materials at hand toward the accom? plishment of the end desired. Prof. CUnkscales by his speeches in this campaign proves himself to be a vis? ionary, not a seer with a vision. He ?.ties aloud day after day with me? chanical reiteration: "State-wide i Compulsory Education, State-wide Compulsory Education," but never a word has he to say as to how the measure is to be made effective. When i asked by one of his hearers how the; law ho advocates is to be put into op-j oration he replied: "If you had any' sense you would know how "without! asking." Likewise he is reported by] campaign correspondents as "sneer? ing at the $30,000 tick eradication ap? propriation." Is this attitude indicative of con? structive statesmanship? Does it show sympathy with practical meas? ures for improvement and develop? ment of our neglected resources and opportunities? Does it not warrant the conclusion that he regards State wUle compulsory education as the cure-all for all Ills, and a disposition to ram it down the throats of the peo? ple whether they like it or not? Furthermore how can ho reconcile his uncompromising advocacy of State? wide compulsory education with his acquiescence in the policy of local op? tion prohibition. If It is vise and ex? pedient, on account of different con? ditions in different localities to have local option on the liquor evil, why is it not equally as wise and expedient to1 treat the compulsory education qucs- j tlon in tho same manner! The po-J sit ion of Prof. CUnkscales is not; tenable. Chamberlain's Colic, (holern und j Diarrhoea Remedy. t Mr. W. M. (tunsalus, a Pennsylvania' farmer, residing near Fleming, P O., | Pa., says: "For the past fourteen years I have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in my family ami have found It to be an ex? cellent remedy.

Sonic Interesting and Important Busi? ness Tacts?Betail Dealers' Assen hu tion to Be "Put Hack on the Map'' in Efforts to Enlarge Trade Terri? tory. The establishment, or rather the re establishment of the Sumter tobacco market has caused competitive towns and cities of Sumter to get busy going alter the tobacco business and other trado in the trade territory tributary to fcumter's tobacco market and Sum ter's mercantile establishments. If the Sumter tobacco market is to be made a success, from a purely bus? iness point of view, it is going to call I for the hearty co-operation and mani? festation of interest in its success by [the business men of Sumter. Messrs. Pepper and Marion, of Win ston-Salem, N. C, the lessees and managers of the Sumter tobacco warehouse, are unquestionably due the co-operation of Sumtor's business men. These gentlemen have given much of their timo and spent hundreds of dol-! lars of their money coming to Sum-! ter timo and again since the Sumter! tobacco warehouse was first started. They have spent weeks with several experienced tobacco warehouse men traveling through the tobacco growing terirtory of Sumter and adjoining counties talking up and working for' tho Sumter tobacco market. The j shortness of the tobacco crop, and the fact that they are probably there (Ota going up against a losing propo- i sltion the llrst season has not deterred them in tho slightest from putting their very best efforts forward for the Sumter tobacco market. Messrs Pepper and Marlon, and Mr. W. J. Finch, their auctioneer, say, most emphatically that the soils of Sumter county are among the finest tobacco growing lands in the Seuth, and that they believe Sumter Is capa? ble of being developed into the lead? ing tobacco market of South Carolina' with its rich agricultural back ground,' magnillcent and unexcelled railway distributing and trade drawing facili? ties and schedules. They say that the farmers visited want to bring their to bacco to Sumter, if offered induce? ments and encouragement to do so. The offering of hundreds of dollars In tobacco prizes is a commendable and good proposition beyond doubt. But Timmonsvilie 1? after Sumter's tobacco business, and after Sumter's trade. The following newspaper clip? ping shows how the Timmonsvilie merchants are going after business. Timmonsvilie, July 16.?Forty boosters for the Timmonsvilie tobacco market left this morning in automo? biles for a two days' trip through the tobacco section in reach of the Tim? monsvilie market. The cars were dc orated wdth banners advertising East era Carolina's great tobacco town and the business men carried souvenirs, advertising their respective business. Today the boosters went to Olanta, Newton, Turbeville and all through; the famous Pudding Swamp section; which has for years patronized this) market. Tomorrow they will go in! opposite directions, working mostly in Darlington and Lee counties. Every business man in Sumter ought to be at the opening of the Sum? ter tobacco warehouse July 23rd. The secretary of the Sumter Cham? ber of Commerce will, at next Mon? day's weekly meeting of the Cham? ber of Commerce directors endeavor to interest these directors in arrang Ins for a scries of trade or Sumter boosting excursions in automobiles through Sumter and adjoining coun? ties, and particularly through the to? bacco growing sections of this and! adjoining counties. Dr. J. Z. Hearon, and Mr. W. R. Burgess are cooperating wtih the sec? retary and hope to Interest enough Sumter merchants In giving a little of. their valuable time in serving on a! committee to meet with the directors to talk the matter over and arrange for the trade boosting excursions. If Sumter merchants want to Increase their trade territory, increase ihcir business, and keep what trade they have, then they should take more In? terest In Chamber of Commerce actlvi-! ties tending towards a development of the agricultural districts from which they derive their principal trade. President J. II. Levy, Sr.. of the Sumter Betail Dealers' Association will give his assistance towards the arrangement for these trade excur? sions. The Retail Dealers' Association should awaken to the Importance of advertising Sumter's business estab? lishments. This association has not ' been as active, by any means as it might have been, and it Is susceptible of great good for the entire city and j county of sumter. Hi* Indigestion Cured at Last.

Sewerage in the Conn try. One great problem peculiar to the rural districts is that of the proper disposal of poisonous organic refuse and similar waste matter. In the cities, such matter is completely and satisfactorily tatken care of in the modern sewerage systems, and thus the city is enabled to preserve a clean? liness which is its greatest aid in lighting disease. When such matter is allowed to ! stand in the open, as every rural res ident knows, it becomes a swarming J place for Hies and a hot-bed for dis? ease germs; it pollutes the soil and .drinking water, and is always an un I j sightly and embarrassing nuisance. Such conditions are generally the cause of sicknescs and disease. The Sanitary Septic Tank, especial? ly designed along approved lines for use in the rural districts, and manu j factured by Weston & Brooker, Co? lumbia, S. C, completely solves the i problem of sewage disposal for the ru? ral home. It is of small size; made of reinforced concrete; simple, easy to j install, never gets out of order or needs attention.
