CANDIDATES AT KERSHAW.
Maj. RIchards Well Received In His
- Home County-How the Other
Offiee See&er; Fare.
William Banks ir. Th- Stat.
Camden, June 28.--Trs candidates
for State office ve:e tcday in the
home county of a .-ndidate popular
with his fellows- il. G. Richar:s,
Jr. And if the peopie ol this couaty
could name the next go, ernor, Rich
ards would be the man.
The attendance today was fairly
good, largely as - tri)ute to .daj.
Richards, as the grass is i: zhe fields
and the farmers are fighting hard.
It so happened that Maj. Richards'
name was first on the list of speakers
.today. He made no regular si.eech,
but thanked his friends for 1-heir sup
port in the past.
Careful attention was given every
speaker and all were applauded but
there was no mistaking the fact that
Kershaw wants to have the next gov
ernor. The audience was composed
largely of Camden people and was
above the usual in intelligence.
Hyatt Makes Impression.
Mr. Hyatt today deliveted a vigor
ous speech, which made an impres
sion. Blease and Featherstone tried
to play sweethearts with Richards at
home. Blease and Featherstone call
ed attdntion to trivial mistakes in the
State in their zeal to show their de
vbtion to Maj. Richardsl Feather
stone says it was not he but some
friend who exclaimed "the vilest sin
ier may return," etc., when Rich
+ ards came into the prohibition fold.
At Chesterfield Mr. Featherstone re
peated it with so much gusto that he
appeared to indorse it. The correc
tion Is made for what it is worth.
One of Blease's objections was
that he had been referred to as critic
ising "tricky" lawyers who keep cas
es in the courts and criminals out 6f
the pen. His word really was
"shrewd" lawyers, but the force and
efEect of his argument was applica
ble.
Seek to Make Good"
These are some of the ways. can
didates seek to make good with the
people. Some of them declare: "I
think the issues in -this campaign
ought to 'be so-and-so, but 'certain
newspapers' make licker the issue."~
In the meantime they carefully omit
to state that each one has a perfect
ly beautiful platform in which liquor
is the most conspicuous plank, and
that the newspapers have nothing to
do with making platforms and iss-ues.
These appeals find a few who are
taken in, but those who read the
newspapers know full well the spe
ciousness arnd cheapness of the "ar
guments."
Meeting Opens.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev. Nir. Rowan. This was
tethird meeting at which prayer
hdbeen offered.
Tefirst speaker was Jno. G. Rich
ards, Jr., who was at home and was
given a great send-off. He said that
he would not make a speech, and
complimented his opponents. He
does not need to plead to these peo
.pla.. He was born and had b,een
reared on Kershaw county soil. He
stands for economy, educational ad
vancement, sobriety and the upbuild
ing of the citizenship of the State.
He had been well treated by the peo
ple of Kershaw. The history and
tradition of Kershaw county are dear
tohim, and if necessary, he would
lay down his life to serve the people
of this county. If entrusted with the
office of governor he would never do
anything that would reflect dishonor
upon the State. The news that is go
ing out from the country through
*which they had traveled is that the
man who is governor would have to
beat Richards.
-Thanks for Support.
He thaaiked the people for sup
porting him in the past,and for their
unanimous inidorsement in the recent
county convention. Maj. Richards
closed amid a genuine ovation.
The next speaker was Cole - L.
Blease, who in opening, said Maj.
Richards. had been making a strong,
earnest plea throughout the country
through which they had passed, and
bad been making a fine impression,
and yet. he declared, the newspapers
were trying to freeze out of this race
the other candidates and to make it
appear that there are but two can
didates-McLeod for local optiou and
Featherstone for prohibition..
Regular Speech.
He continued his regular speech
:against compulsory education. He
would not injure the schools in any
way, but he thinks there is some ex
travagance. All are 'agreed on some
of the issues. The newspapers are
keeping the people befuddled on the
real issues. On the liquor question
be declared for local option. Laws
against murder, arson, theft, do not
prohibit, but when they are violated
the offenders are hunted down. Vio
lators of prohibition can go around
with the stuff in their hip pockets.
The proper way is to let public sen
other questions which are of impor- a
tance. One is the effort to disfran- t
chise thousands of white voters. This
is b.-ng pushed by certain newspa- e
pars and he opposes it.
Against Restriction.
He argued against the proposition n
to be brought up in the "next legis
lature to require registration certifi
cates in primary elections. He de- t
clared that the rights of the voters g
are abridge enough now. He spoke g
of the vote for governor two years a
ago. He carried Newberry, Laurens. il
Saluda and that part of Lexington
contiguous. He did not use the word
"free nigger" in his speech today. F
John T. Duncan was the next
speaker. He received greaL applause
when he declared that he would be t
elected governor on the first ballot.
Mr. Featherstone found a number
of friends in Camden. He and Maj.
Richards, who have been trying to
ia
read each other out of the prohibition
ranks, seemed to have agreed to let t]
quarreling alone, for no references b
of that kind were made.
Use'd His Jokes.. tj
Mr. Featherstone got off four ofs
his fine jokes well and had the crowd c
Ic
enjoying them. The application of
his jokes is always apropos and fixes
d
a point in the minds of the hearers.
Mr. Featherstone struck a keynote
with these &people when he declared
n
for an educated citizenshirnd for
law and order. He declare in favor
of good foads, good schools, biennial
sessions of the legislature and elect
ing State and county officers every
four years.
Mr. Hyatt spoke very earnestly to- I
day. - He comes into tha race not asP
a politician but as a business man. n
aer things are as important to be e
discussed as prohibition, but some of
these fellows wouldn't know what to
talk about and couldn't run for gov
c
arnor if it wasn't for prohibition.
"No ratches."
"I am the only man in the race j
who has no.windshakas and patches s
in a prohibition platform,' he said. E
"I neyer supported the State dispen- i
sary; I never supported local option.
I learned prohibtion at my mother's r
knee and have practiced it all niy j
life. Twenty years ago I put myIc
hand in my pocket to assist Capt. L. p
D. Childs into his fight for prohibi
tion."
Then getting down to other mat
ters, Mr. Hyatt asked: "When cottonie
dropped to 6 cents a pound a~ few Ic
years ago' and this country was
threatened with the greatest panic in
all her history, who gave his time t
and money to the effort to ,organize
to stem the tide. Was it some of these
fellows running for office? Nay ver-e
ily. Why they called Hyatt and E. h
D. Smith cranks when we went to 0
New Orleans and assisted in forming
the .association which has. helped the
farer."A Grateful Toter. [
He told of a man who cam'o up to
him in Sumter and told him that he~
1had sold his cotton for 15 cents and
had put money in the bank after get- t
ting rid of his debts. "And he said.
to me, 'Hyatt, I- am going to vote for
C
you for I know your work in this
figh.t has helped me andi my family.'"
As to finances, the State is now ac
tually mortgaging its income a yeart
in advance to run the government. He
thinks this is wrong. Somnething e
should be done to check 'the extrava- t
gance..* He thir.ks that an adminis
tratio.1 can i.e c nducted to put the
'Stab on a but iness basis, and he'
'wot .I like to z:7 it. .C
FE':teea years :.go, when a.s a con-e
ty era.missio.re: in Ricaland he Ladd
sta.te T .1 m neme~nnt for good roads,
he was cil'ed a cre'nk. Efforts were
ma 'e to irape c'.i himn and the legis-.
lative deleLation passed a special act
wiO1 that and ia view. .He went toj
Go':. Ellerbe and, e:tplained 'theU
whoLe situation. The governor agreed
tha eHyatt was r ight and the bill was*
From Small Acorns.
And from that beginning Richland
has worked on until she has in har
sand and clay roads .the greatest
a
highways in the country. One of the*
candidates had twitted him ,by say
ing "Any old blind mule would like
good roads." To that candidate he
would say, "What have you evar done
for good roads?' Have you ever gone
among the people at your own ex- I
pense and preached good roads?
Have you aver put your hand into
your pocket to build good roads?"
Some of the candidates who come
Ihere empty-handed and ask for some- a
thing of the people remind him of the c'
fallow who knocked for admission at e:
the gate of heaven. When asked for! o
his credentials he stammered around d
awhile and finally said, "I gave an n
old woman a dime one day." "Is that e:
all?" "Yes, that's all." "Well,"- con- f<
cluded St. Peter to his clerk, "give di
the fellow back his dime and send 'ci
him back to another place." Mr., q
Hyatt said that some of 'these other: B
candidates should be sent back home. u
As to education, he referred the e
people to Maj. Richards, who could a
tell the:n that Hyd had gone down e:
college for girls. H- had given his
ime, his money, his every credit in.
romoting the cause of education. If
lected governor he would keap on
rorking for the public good, but he
'ould have a wider scope as gover
or.
Complinients People.
Lieut. Gov. McLeod complimented
te pebple of Kershaw in one of his
raceful periods. He spoke of her
reat past, of her men of renown,
nd he is proud to live in an adjoin
ig county.
The people must not be deceived in
Dme of these candidates' speeches.
emindad him of the old woman who
i speaking of her love for ner pas
>r, said: "He don't take no better.
,xt; he don't preach no better ser
ions; but he has such a heaven-ly
hine."
He, too, is in favor of good roads
nd good schools.
As to the liquor question, he said
iat the germ of lawlessness would
e implanted by State-wide- prohibi
on and it would permeate the whole
dy politic, destroying not alone the
entiment against liquor selling, but
ausing other disorders as well.
Some of these prohibition candi
ates 'in thei- fervid advocacy re
iinded him of the story of the man
ho offered a 'possum to the little
egro who best described his poli
cal party. One said, "Ise a "Pub
can, sah, fer dem's de ones what
ot'me free." There were other an
wers of equally forceful nature un
1 the last boy ,was reached. "Ise
Demmycrat, sir." "Why?" "'Case
want's dat 'possum." Some of the!
rohibitionists seem to wish for,
othing so badly as the office of gov
rnoi.
Mr. McLeod's local option senti
i.nts were applaudea and when he
oncluded it was seen that he is not
ithout a following in Kershaw.
The other candidates who spoke
)day were Walker Duvall and. C. A.
mith for lieutenant. governor; B. B.
|vans for attorney general; G. I.
[ahon, James - Cansler, McDuffie
'ampton and 0. C. Scarborough for
ailroad commissioner; D. -E. Finley,
K. Henry and T. B. Butler for
ongress; Charles Newnham, J. M.
.ichardson and W. W. Moore for ad
itant general.
B. B. Evans, who is opposing Mr.
yon for attorney general, complain-:
d that he had substantiated his
b.arges of extravagar.ce against Mr.'
yon and that the newspapers would
ot print what he said. A new fea
ire today was his allegation that he
rould never have let Farnum off .
ith a $5,000 fine when Evans "call
d hiin (Prince) to taw and showed
im that Farnum was worth ~$50,
The campaigners left in the after
oon for Lancaster.
Yester'day Col. Felder wired the~
tate: "I did not state to B. B.
vans in the Jerome hotel or else
rhere that I was paid $100,000 by
i State of South Carolina for help
ig Attorney General Lyon in prose
ting dispensary cases. Such state
tent if made is not only ' false but
bsurd."
Mr. Lyon explained- at Bishopville
at Col. Felder's firm had been giv
n 10 per cent. of all hard accounts
llected and 50 rer cent. -of all resti- a
tion money on accounts long since
tarked nulla bona, and that instead
i South Ca-olina payir.g Col. Feld

"With 20,000 pounds,'' said a young

"Yes," rejoined a pal, "but whose'
