LOWNDES J. BROWNING STARTS WARM DISCUSSION Stirs Up Political Animals at Darlington?Liquor Issue Rises? Clinkscales Declares for Statewide Prohibition and Promises to Enforce Law. O Darlington, June 29.?Lowndes J. Browning, candidate for governor, told the Darlington audience that the newspapers were supporting his opponent, John G. Clinkscales, who was a man of but two ideas, one of them compulsory education and the other State-wide prohibition. Mr. Browning charged John G. Richards, another of nis opponents, with being a man who was all things to all men. Mr. Clinkscales, though deprecating the fact that the liquor question was being dragged into the campaign, declared that he was in the fight against the sale and use of it to the death, because he had seen in his own family connection the evil it could do. Mr. Richards did not reply to Mr. Browning's bitter arraignment of him in his speech today. The court room where the candidates spoke was packed to capacity by a crowd which frequently applauded and cheered. James R. Coggeshall, county chairman, introduced the speakers. Mr. Browning, opened his startling speech by asserting that the press was behind John G. Clinkscales in his 1 - * campaign lur governur. "Ihe choice of the newspapers for chief executive is a man of Dut two ideas, one of them compulsory education and the other State-wide prohibition," declared Mr. Browning. "If , Mr. Clinkscales will put all the arguments he has advanced for compulsory education in the nine speeches hi has made in this campaign into writing, I can answer all of them in 30 seconds," he added. "It was the press that gave the fltafA its nrpsont cnvprnnr " nvprro.H Mr. Browning. "Hurrah for the press!" shouted somebody. "Four years ago in the race for governor the people, led by the press, followed a fanatic, two years ago a fossil and this year a joke," declared Mr. Browning. Hard on Richards. "John G. Richards has every one of Blease's vices with a thin veneer of religion covering them," asserted Mr. Browning. "On the other hand, he lacks all of Blease's virtues; for Blease has virtues, one of them is his loyalty to his friends." "We know that," interrupted some one in the crowd. "Fbr the past ten years Mr. Richards has held to B. R. Tillman with one hand and to William E. Gonzales with the other," continued Mr. Browning. "Can you find two more discardant elements? Now Mr. Richards has the Blease crow* by the tail with a downhill drag," declared Mr. ^' owntnir amid annlaube and rhaars. "Nobody has accused Mr. Richards of coattail swinging," protested Mr. Browning, "but Will Irby of LauI rens, who is a candidate for governor, a Blease man and an honest man, has called Mr. Richards a camp follower." Mr. Browning said that any Confederate veteran present would know what a camp. follower did after the fight was over. "Camp followers come on the battlefield and rob the dead," he declared. John G. Clinkscales, speaking immediately after Mr. Browning finished, said that he did not know that he was the newspapers' candidate for governor, but that if they were supporting him that did not constitute cause for a schism. Mr. Clinkscales spoke with a considerable show of feeling about his position on the liquor question, addressing many of his remarks to Mr. Browning personally. "If you had my life back of you and if the demon of strong drink had fastened his fingers on vour family as it has on mine. Mr. Browning, you would never make peace with rum," declared Mr. Ciinkscales. "If I had a chance to vote against the sale of liquor I would do so if it damned me in every election." Will Enforce Law. Going further Mr. Ciinkscales said that he would not advocate a Statewide prohibition law, but thnt he would see that the law was enforced in the < ry and wet counties aliki and fight blind tigers everywhere. "I hatt liquor, Mr. Browning, because I love it so," said Mr. Ciinkscales. ile added a n oment later that he aid r?.t knew how it tasted, but he had >nheriicd an appetite for it and (he odor of it enticed him. "I hope this liquor question will not be brought up again, for it has nothing to do with the camDaign," said Mr. Ciinkscales, who then condemned lawlessness, the prevalence of which he said was due to the abuse of the pardoning power. He declared that in his opinion the last State cenvention saved the Democratic party in South Carolina from disruption and that had he been a member he would have voted for the adoption of the enrrtl 1 m onf vnloo ?/\?< ??* /#.??? AvaiaiiVHV a waivo I1U *V III iUlCCi For Law and Order. Robert A. Cooper made a ringing declaration for the enforcement of law all over the State. He stated that when SoutjL Carolina could fui* nish accommodations to all of its children in the schools, he would be in favor of compulsion. "The State ought to give the physicians the right they are asking to protect our children in the schools from communicable diseases," declared Mr. Cooper after advocating support of the State board of health. John T. Duncan proposed an expert Sublic service commission to give the tate the benefit of Its advice on matters of legislation. W. C. Irby, Jr., told of his opposif tion to the sale of the asylum property in Columbia. He said in tne ten years he was in the legislature he knew no boss except the majority of the white people of his county and the best interests of the people of the I * State. Mr. Irby bitterly arraigned Northern cotton speculators and gamblers, who he declared were injuring the mill operatives, the farmers and the small stockholders. ji Richard I Manning said that be- f< yond the bounds of the State South u Carolina was being heralded as *. S commonwealth in which lawlessness ci was condoned and criminals went un- u Eunished and in its own legislative all its people had been called law- ii What of the Law? S "We have a law against race track n gambling," said Mr. Manning. "Ydt it does that exclude from our State this vicious and demoralizing vice and do 11 we not see this debasing and degrad- t ing set who have been driven out of ? one State after another?" u Mr. Manning alluded to the recent actions of the governors of Oklahoma, and Virginia in driving racing out of T their States. "I would not desire to play to the E Salleries by spectacular acts," averred lr. Manning. "It would not be necessary. I would say to the officials that _ the law must be enforced, respected 1 and obeyed. The officials would know better than to disregard the order. (< If they disregarded it I would as governor exercise the duty placed upon me by the constitution and remove the official. Failing to get results, I would resort to the military to make the law respected and obeyed." ? Mr. Manning's condemnation of the abuse of the pardoning power drew many cheers. J. R. Adger Mullally made his first appearance on the stump for gover- s' nor. He said he would hand out his . platform and .make his speech tonight from the court house steps. He .. termed the speeches of the other can- " didates for governor "tommy-rot." "I_ am running for governor and holding on not to Cole Blease's coat- .. tail, but to Cole Blease's hands," declared Mr. Mulally. "I am a Cole Blease man," he added. He declared u he was on Woodrow Wilson's coat- " tail, on W. J. Bryan's coattail and R holding on to Blease's coattail. X Demands New Rules. John G. Richards was received with hand-clapping and cheers. He said ?! he had always been a farmer and al- * lied with the farmers. He denounced F the personal enrollment requirement _ of the new rules, and opposed compulsory education. He again declared his intention to vote for Blease for the senate and said he was not a coattail swinger. "Every effort of my life has been directed toward bringing law and order to pass," asserted Charles Carroll Simms, in opening his speech. Mr. Simms declared that The State was fighting him and opposing his election because he was a friend of the poor people and had always fought their fight. "You are nothing but a beast of burden, and they are determined to keep you a beast of burden by not allowing you to exercise your political rights," said Mr. Simms. The speaker charged that the la3t State convention passed rules which would confuse and bewilder the poor r illiterate voters just as the eight box v law was passed to keen ignorant ne- ? groes from voting legally in the days D of Reconstruction. r An Angel Unawares. v "I never got your name but you're ? the stuff," shouted a man when Mr. Simms concluded. n "Now there's a man who never tola a lie," exclaimed the same man when c Charles A. Smith was introduced a few moments later amid applause. "I did not know before that I was a rival of Washington," retorted the lieutenant governor. "Let us work together for the highest good of South Carolina," urged ~ Mr. Smith. He pledged himself to uphold the law, to administer the State government economically and to try to get a 2-cent passenger rate law passed. Lieut. Gov. Smith complimented Darlington on its accomplishments along educational lines. "Religion and education are two things which make for the greatness of our nation," said Lieut. Gov. Smith. "We need more education in South Carolina," declared Mendel L. Smith. He then vigorously urged the passage of a local option compulsory school attendance law, similar to the bill introduced by Mr. Harper of Darlington. He said advocates of State-wide nnmnnlann, vvtu|/uiovi ^ ov?**wa uvvviiuuiivv nv?\< theorists who wouki not take the facts into account. ^ . "If you pass a law to permit the people in each school district to say whether they want compulsory school , attendance, ?n five years you will have _ a compulsory system all over the State, put there not by legislative en- ' actment but by the force of public opinion, expressed by the votes 01 tne people," declared Speaker Smith, j "Execute the law in such a manner that the verdicts of the juries, * The memorial that is of secondary quality granite or marble is certain to discolor, crack or quickly deteriorate?so it is wise to order the MONUMENT of a local concein that will use selected quality stone and expert skill in designing, lettering, etc. You are positive of securing the very latest in design and granite or I .marble when you order of us?and I examples of our work hereabouts I will prove this. | Permit us to submit samples and prices.
