Thursday, Sept. 3, 1908 = = That big majority for Blease in Newberry, his home county, failed to materialize. He and Ansel run * neck and neck, and Blease only carried the county by about 100 votes out of nearly 2500. We suppose George Johnstone will now be convinced that the people do not want him for United States Senator If Johnstone had been out of the race, Rhett would have had a * better showing Just as we expected, the second race for the United States Senate is between Smith and Evans. At one J time we thought it would he Rhett and Smith, but Mr. Rhett made a mistake in not making public the contents of that letter earlier. We voted for him, and it is a source of much regret to us that he will not be the next Senator. He is a South Carolina gentleman, he made a clean ,j V . campaign, something we have not ?, . been accustomed to in this State, and we feel proud that there was one man who did not try to get the office by criticising his opponents. Of course the late entry of Mr. Rhett had something to do with his defeat. However, he and his friends have reason to feel proud, and no doubt there are larger things ahead for '! him. ^ Election Notes. There will be general rejoicing throughout the State that Niels Christensen, Jr., has been returned to the Senate from Beaufort. The 1 r whiskey element made strong efforts to defeat hija, but he won out handr somely. 11 was said that Blease would car\-v ry Bamberg and Orangeburg couni.* tloe hut tho rotnrna fpll a HifPprpnt tale. We never thought so, and stated that Ansel would carry Bam-j berg, for we know the good people 1 of this section of the State and felt * that they could be depended on to endorse the present governor. The Herald asked Bamberg county voters to give Ansel and Thomp son good majorities, and they did it. We are not so conceited as to think that our support of these gentlemen was the reason they carried the / county so large, and our only reason ' in mentioning it is to thank our voters for their interest in the cause of good government. m' In this county 'iome good men were elected and some good men defeated, but they accept the verdict of the vo' ters in good faith, and nobody is sore. This is as it should be, and we are glad to see such a spirit displayed by the defeated ones. Let us all hold up the hands of those elected, and give them our hearty support in all matters pertaining to the good of our county and its people. ?? Politics Causes Killing. S4 Walhalla, Aug. 26.?Logan Railey ^V1- . shot and killed "Little Bill" Thrift yesterday at Long Creek. Politics is said to have been the cause. There was great excitement at Long Creek and Railey was hurried to jail. Both men are prominently connected. Railey is about 23 years of age and unmarried. Thrift leaves a widow and several small children. Thrift is well known throughout the county and every one deplores the trouble. The coroner, sheriff and several members of the bar left for Long Creek to-day. Thanks, Voters. I desire to extend my heartfelt thanks to the voters of Bamberg county for the flattering vote given me in the primary election on last Tuesday. I keenly appreciate the honor conferred upon me by the voters, and in return car. only promise that I will endeavor to faithfully discharge the duties of the office and conduct the business in such manner as to merit the confidence reposed in me by the voters of the circuit. Gratefully yours, JAMES F. BYRNES. Third Receiver Named. Union, Aug. 21.?On Wednesday Judge D. E. Hydrick appointed Mr. H. B. O'Shields, cashier of the Citizen's Savings bank of this city, as coreceiver of the People's bank which recently went into voluntary liquidation. This action was the result of a petition of a large number of stockholders and depositors of the People's bank who were represented by Hon. B. F. Townsend. The appointment of an additional receiver was resisted by Messrs. Simpson & Bomar, attorneys for B. F. Arthur and W. H. Gist. Among the affidavits were some from B. F. Arthur, president of the People's bank. L. M. Jordan, vice president of the bank, Dr. H. K. Smith, director, and Mr. Giles L. Wilson, State bank examiner. In substance these affidavits were to the effect that it was considered that the appointment of another receiver was unnecessary and that the men in charge of the institution's affairs were men of int<3iiiprpnr?f> and inteeritv and had the ability to bring about the best possible outcome of the bank's affairs. Judge Hydrick, however, took the opinion that the appointment of the additional receiver was advisable and Mr. H. B. O'Shields, who was named, yesterday filed his bond, qualified today and entered upon his duties. In this connection it may be mentioned that Mr. O'Shields has for the present retired from the cashiership of the Citizen's Savings bank, or will retire on September 1 for a few months at least because his physician advises him that so much indoor work was too confining. On September 1 Mr. O'Shields will assume his duties as secretary to the board of commissioners of public works. Rhett Will Stump for Bryan. Columbia, August 24.?Mayor Rhett,of Charleston, has been asked to take the stump for the national Democratic ticket in other states and has consented to do so. Mr. Rhett to-day received a letter from Mr. J. H. Atwood, chairman of the committee on speakers of the national executive committee extending the invitation. "I write to ask," writes Mr. Atwood, "if you can give at least a part of your time in outside states. Kindly advise me if you are willing to help, also what sections would you prefer to speak in. We would appreciate your help in this great contest very much." To this Mr. Rhett replied as follows: "My Dear Mr. Atwood: "I have your letter of August 22nd, asking me to take the rostrum for Mr. Bryan during the progress of the presidential campaign. AS a lilt: luug ucuiucitti, as a. iujai supporter of Mr. Bryan, a firm advocate of the principles set forth in our party's platjform, it will afford me great pleasure to place my services at the disposal of your committee. Feeling as I do that Mr. Bryan's election is of first moment to the nation, I shall be happy, if I may contribute in any way to that devoutly,to be desired end. I shall be glad to deliver one or more addresses in what ever state or states your committee sends me. "Very truly yours, R. G. RHETT." Letter to Geo. H. Smoak, Bamberg, S. C. Dear Sir: You may like to know what you pay for the paint in a gallon of "paint," assuming the purepaint part of all"paints"to be alike; which it isn't; and worth $1.75 a gallon. Of a paint adulterated 10 per cent, the pure-paint part brings $1.94 a gallon. 15 per cent brings $2.06 a gallon. 25 " 2.33 33 1-3 " 2.62 50 " 3.50 75 " 7.00 The average adulteration of paint in this country is about one-third; 1 so, you see, the average price the , American people are paying for paint is about $2.62 a gallon. 1 It is a game of wits. Adulterators , are always too sharp' for the bulk of consumers. People won't pay $1.75 1 a gallon for paint. So they pay i $2.62 a gallon for paint and something that looks like paint mixed 1 with it. (They pay the painter, be- i sides, from $2 to $4 for painting those useless gallons.) Why do they do it? They don't i know Devoe. Yours trulv 18 F. W. DEVOE & CO. P. S. J. A. Hunter sells our paint. Mrs. Webb Convicted. Chicago, Aug. 12.?Mrs. Alice L. Webb, divorced wife of Brodie L. Duke, millionaire tobacco manufacturer, was to-day found guilty of defrauding the Great Northern hotel by passing a worthless check. Motion for a new trial was made and will he argued later. If not granted, , sentence then will be passed by the ? court. ' Garbed in black, Mrs. Webb was composed and expressed confidence that the verdict would be in her favor. Her plea that the check, which was for $50, was written while she was under the influence of stimulants and narcotics taken to alleviate the pain of an attack of pleurisy, she believed would be sufficient to influence the jury to bring a verdict of acquittal. At the word "guilty" Mrs. Webb flushed and trembled, but only momentarily. Shfr recovered quickly and was apparently perfectly composed while her lawyer, Alfred E. Case, made his motion for a new trial. The extreme penalty of the crime of which Mrs. Webb was found guilty is a fine of $2,000 and imprisonment in the county jail for one year. Mrs. Webb was released under bond of $1,000. Mother and Infant Killed. Fountain Inn, Aug. 29.?Mrs. Dave Sims and her infant daughter were instantly killed by lightning at their home on Monday afternoon. Mrs. Sims is survived by her husband and three small children. Mr. Sims is a farmer and lives about three miles from Fountain Inn. Bam (official) united s' < ?
