Columbia, April 9.?The campaign 'of 1914 may be said to have opened. Candidates for governor have been announcing their platfQrms in the public prints, aud a general activity along all political lines seems to have been starred. At least four of the candidates tor governor ,have given ouc their formal platforms, and it is expected that others will fall in line and I state the issues upon which they will ask the votes of the people this summer. The Senatorial Race. The race for the United States senate seems to be between Governor Blease and Senator Smith, r "without a tmra entry. mere was talk for a time of other candidates, but one by one they withdrew, and there are now only two candidates in the race, and, unless something unforeseen happens, these will be the only two candidates when the time for filing pledges expires. As matrer of fact, it has appeared to some of I those who have been watching develL opments, that there have been several "'mentions," so-called, as "feelers," Bbut that the opposition to Governor ^^Blease in this race has come to the ^ conclusion that any additional candi m *da:es against him, not matter who or how many, would only draw strength ^ from those already opposed to him? t that his following is for the governor against the field. And it seems pretty well settled thai this following of the governor is a good majority cf the ^ Democratic voters of the State, and ' his bitterest opponents are now conceding his election. Speaks at >VaIterboro Saturday. The governor will go to Walterboro on Saturday to make an address, and i-. is expected that he will s,ay something there of a political nature. If he should discuss politics, his address will really be the opening gun in the campaign. The governor has as yet ."v ^ ren out nothing to the press, as to -if vnat he will say a: WaUerboro. L Congressional Campaign. Assistant Attorney General Fred. H. Dominick, of Newberry, was in Anderson last week in the interest of his candidacy for congress, and again this week he is in the up-country, in Oconee, Pickens and other coun;ies in I 'he Third district. Mr. Dominick. who , is a candidate for the seat now held dv congressman aike^i, says tnai ne - is confident of election. Peeples For He-Election. e Attorney General Tlios. H. Peeples Las announced that he will be a candidate for re-election. Tcei'e bas been no opposi:ion announced to the attorney general, and he wifl probably be re-elected without opposition. The Governor's Kace. 4. ^ There is a great deal of interest in the race for governor. The number of candidates is large, and most of them are well known to the ve:ers of the State. County-to-County Campaign. There fcas been considerable discussion of abolishing the cDunty-:o-county campaign this summer. This movement will wear itself out, as did the effort in the legislature to restrict the primary. Governor Blease has come ou: flat-footed in favor of the candidates going before the people, and has announced that If the State convention does not provide for a county ask of the people this summer, to-county canvass that he will go to each county seat, inviting the other candidates for the senate to meet him. ~ If the governor's supporters turn out to the club meetings cn the 25th of this m'^nth they will control the State convention. i It is exr>eo-pd that tvpv -a-'ll attend the meetings and >iontr:l the Sta:e convention, biu, in any ev^r.t. the interview of the governor hn~ practically put a quie us upon the effort to abolish the cou-ty-to-ccuntv campaign. \ HADE I INSPECTOR IN (HA HUE. ? ! ; Dr. W.

We were all delighted with conference and wish ir could meet with us every time. The Sunday work of conference this time was most exceiiem. .just to give me public a faint idea of good things we mention what was done on Sunday of cenferenee. At 9:30 o'clock Prof. Derrick, of Xewberrf college, made an address-on "The Ideal Congrega;icn." It was; plain, interesting, practical, to the point. If you want a good speech get Prof. Derrick to make it. At 11 o'clock the Rev. J. D. Kinard, ?ot" Greenwood, and Dr. R. 0. Holland, of Columbia. occupied the pulpit, and one af:er the other, spoke interestingly on missions. Then came dinner?wha' a dinner and what a hungry multitude! But there was plenty for all.

Mr. B. V. Chapman, of Xewberry,! was present and made a most force- j fill address. The young people felt it J a ;reat to have Mr. Chapman with them ! and to hear such an able address. Mr. W.
