TIIK NEW MA YOU
In J. H. Godfrey. Jaie city of An
derson will have thc youngest mayor
to thc Slate of South Carolina. Ho
wau horn ou a farm live miles from
Gheraw, In Chesterfield county. When
about live years of age bis purcnis
moved to (he town of Cheraw. and
be entered the nubile schools at the
agc* of nevon. At the age of 14 he won
a scholarship at til?' Porter Military
Academy at Charleston. and I wo
years later, in I?101, graduated fruin
that Institution, liebig another mate
for lirst honors.
Me was selected for the salutatory
address al his commencement.
Itecause of his class Btanding at
Porter's. Mr. Godfrey was offered
scholarships In several northern col
J leges. These he refused in order to
accept the position ol' secretary of
the ('heraw Door and Sash company,
which position be held for two or
three years. While with the company,
Mr. Godfrey contributed to the dally
newspapers of South Carolina, and
this led to bis securing a position
with the Columbia State.
He served as city circulation man
ager for this newspuper for several
months and when the Greenville News
was purchased by Its present owners
be was offered the position of circu
lation manager of that paper. He ac
cepted, and when the News decided
to establish a news bureuu lu Ander
son, Mr. Godfrey wus selected to come
to Anderson to lay the foundations
for the bureau. When his work was
finished here the News called him
buck to Greenville.
He had in thc meant ?inc, become so
attached to the people and the city
of Anderson that he was glad to se
cure a position with The Dully Mail,
as news reporter, so that be might re
main here. After being here one
year the city council offered him the
position of city clerk und treasurer,
which position hu accepted und is
now serving In that capacity, having
been reelected for two terms, comple
i?ig his six years In t>it office now.
Mr. Godfrey offered for mayor after
three gentlemen, Messrs J. M. Payne,
W. Frank Ashmore and E. E. Elmore,
had offered. He secured the second
highest vote In tho first primary, and
went into the second primary with
Mr. J. M. Payne, former county treas
urer, Mr. Payne leading him In the first
primary by 74 votes. The majority
in yesterday's election waa 1?9 for
Mr. Godfrey.
The mayor-elect in a statement in
this issue announces that he will en
d?avor to be the repr?sentative of all
the people, and we believe he will so
endeavor. We call upen all the peo
ple of Anderson to stand behind him
and all things that make for prog
ress, for a better and bigger and more
beautiful city.
MEDICAL INSPECTION
Whereved medical inspection in
public schools has been tried, it has
beeu proved of the greatest benefit to
the poor. Frank Evans, superinten
dent of the city schools of Spartan
burg declares that the only objection
expressed comes from Christian
scientists who do not believe in any
kind of medicino.
Mr. Evans has had regular blanks
printed, and any person reading
these would see that the parental au
thority is in no way disturbed. There
ia nothing In these measures to Jar
the sensibilities of the most refined
Hud there been, the people of Spar-i
tanburg would have resented it. Most
of the objection to the proposition
cornea from those who are. not even
patrons of the public, schools.
Tho legislature selected this sum
mer should be cemmltteed to pass a
bill of this kind. It will be one of
great benefit to the poorer people.
We cannot understand why any one
"lionld oppose it in the face of such
arguments and facts as have been put
up to support Its need.
Medical inspection of school chil
dren IB uothing more nor less than
! tho state's providing that supervision
! by trained physicians for all chil
dren which only the children of rich
parents can* now afford and providing
for the protection of the healthy child
from the diseased.
Wc often hear about the state's
right In thia matter, and the parent's
right, without consideration - of the
child's rights when his are most to be
considered. He has a right to ex
pect the state to prepare him to as
sume the Obligations of citizenship,
and thoughtless, or heedless parents
should not bo allowed to deprive him
of this right. It Is the child which
has the right, while the state has the
obligation.

JKWS AS CITIZENS
A flippniit headline In un article
in Tin- Intelligencer yesterday seems
lo have annoyed nonie of the good
friends among tho jewish people of
the city. Of course, those who have
considered the maller for a moment,
know (hut lids wus no intent tu re
flect upon the Jewish people, ail of
whom do not measure up to the very
highest standard to bc sure, hut ma
ny of whom are among our best cit
izens. Their average citizenship In
history, as well as today, is perhaps
higher than that of any oilier race.
The Jews have been identified with
the history of South Carolina since as
far back as M5U5.. The persecuted
Jew. like the persecuted Huguenot,
came lo South Carolina and South
<'anilina welcomed him. In his dally
life, and as a citizen, socially and re
ligiously, he took his full share of
the burden of establishing civilization
in the colonies, in lighting for free- |
dom and independence during the re
volution und in defending the South
in the War of Secession.
The brains of the Southern Con
federacy was .ludali P. Hcnjamiu, the
learned secretary of state, who after
the war went to London, where he be
came the leader of the English bar.
ile was hom of bumble and honest
Jewish parents in Charleston. In
history and in war ibis state ls replete
with the names of Jewish citizens,
whose; sacrifices, whose Intellectual,
moral and religious life and whose
achievements In commerce and in wai
have helped lo make this the great
stale that it is. In the law, in the
sciences,*'In commerce and In art and
in music,' they have been eminent.
If men aro to be known and to be
judged by their deeds, then South
Carolina can boast of no more loyal
and devoted sons than were the Jew
ish citizens in the days of distress.
And this is a race unchanging. Its
high type >f citizenship in the past
hus not deteriorated, racially speak
ing, and the occasional exception
provea the rule all the more con
clusively.
THE NEW CLUB ROLLS.
As we see it, the new democratic
primary club rolls will offer protec
tion tu the honest voters, and that is
all we can ask for.
There has been only one quibble
so far, und that is as to the meaning
of the term "full name." We believe
this matter can . be settled in five
minutes so that, all persons will be
satisfied. The State Chairman, John
(Jury Evans has stated that each per
son must sign all of his names in
ful! to he absolutely protected.
Be that as lt may, we believe that
the county executive committee will
not throw out the vote of any per
son who has signed his middle in
itial along with his first and his fam
ly name tn full. For such person
.'nus signed thc roll In good faith, his
attention not having been called to
the rule until too late. If the county
committee has no more sense than
to throw out an honest man's vote
und T such circumstances, then we
lleve in doing away with the demo
cratic party. However, that will not
be necessary, common sense will rule.
We believe that the committee will
or would overrule any challenges on
till i or any. such technical score. All
that, ls necessary is for a quorum of
the committee, representing all
views, to make an announcement as
to Its policy.
As a matter of absolute safety, how
ever, we would advise every person
that has enrolled, to go back and to
make sure that his names are spelled
out In full.
Now, back to the main proposi
tion. We believe that the new rules
will be fine for Anderson county.
They will 'not In any way Injure the
honest rural vote. In fact, the vote
of the individual farmer ls made
worth all the more as a right, because
this rule means that the man who
has spent his life in Anderson coun
ty shall not be put on a plane with a
mun who has moved In 'but a couple
ot weeks. It means that a man must
have a deep personal Interest In his
community. The new rules give dig
nity to the party machinery and none
can complain, save those who prefer
the old method with Us many oppor
tunities for tricks.
Whit McClure came to town with
a buggy load of Rock Mill peaches.
That's the kind of man to have In
public office, one who Uvea at home
and bringa home blessings to town.
Senator Smith seems to be proceed
ing on the theory that lt is encum
bers upon his opponents to prove
that they are better fitted for the
I place.
When we think of some of tho, es
capea in this municipal election, we
are prone to think the people are not
so easily kept deceived after all.
The feeling is growing that In this
campaign a man will be picked for
office by what ho is, and not by what
he says ot others.
STOP HUD SLINGING
We venture tu express the opinion
that ?Mr. Pollock of Cheraw is going
entirely too far in Iiis campaign. Wo
have known Mr. Pollock for 20 yearn
and we know him to he a mau of
ability, hut this is no way to provo
it. !!<. is playing entirely too rough.
We do not see wherein consists the
fun of his making a caricature of a
yegg having the governor's office in
Hie rtate capitol disguised In the
governor's clothes. Tho governor
was absent when tho picture was
painted, lie hos always proved him
self able to take care of such mat
ters and no doubt be will do so at
thu suitable time.
We wish to record our protest
against injecting such stuff into the
campaign. If Mr. Pollock is merely
painting a picture in supposition, we
feel that he Is uaing bad taste. If
he is in earnest, then we say that the
campaign stump is not tho place for
such revelations. He mukes charges
by inference thai the governor con
nived at tbiB criminal's escupe from
the United States court officers. If
there be any foundation for this, the
United States court would be the
proper place to air it.
Wo add again, our protest, and beg
to remind tho candidates that there
is a law which punishes those indul
ging in slander or derogatory state
ments. If it must be applied to
newspapers why not to campaigners,
one and all? It is high time for the
county chairmen to stop this biennial
hegira of mud slinging and let public
officials' records be discussed in a
proper manner.
COURTESY TO THE PUBLIC
To impress upon every individual
connected with the Company the im
portance of politeness and courtesy
in dealing with the public, President
Harrison, of the Southern Railway
Company, is sending every officer and
employe a circular letter stating that
this 1B a primary rule of the manage
ment and asking Its careful obser
vance. ,
With the men ;of the Southern Rail
way in this section, such a rule is un
necessary. They are already atten
tive to the needs of the public and
careful to show, .every attention pos
sible. This is the case wtlh ail pub
lic service corporations that we know
of. and the higher; the man in the ser
vice, the more considerate and polite
he appears to beal,.
We have often wondered at it, in'
this country under'such trying cir
cumstances. Especially In the .tele
phone exchanges. , Ono "naturally be
comes impatient abd .someiies i unnat
urally vexed If the telephone service
is not Instantaneous. But there is on
ly one way to observe such matters
"do as you would be done by."
Stop a moment, whistle, and then
reflect upon the demands and require
ments made upon central. , . .
Railroad employes are characteris
tically polite. The bigger the rali
way system, the more attentive are
the employes. And the employe real
ly but observes a pattern. . In this
territory, nearly every ' "railroad
man" seems to emulate the character
of the splendid official and modest
gentleman. John R. Anderson, super
intendent of the Blue Ridge. And
manliness and courage.are second na
ture with him.
If we bad government ownerships,
would we have to tip the Pullman
porter? How about government own
ership of hotels?

o THE CAMPAIGN o
o o
oooooooooooooo
(Ex'racts from Editorial Correspon
dence in The Columbia Evening
Record.)
Mayor L. D. Jennings, who im
mediately followed the Governor,
sprung into the area, the picture of
un all-round fighter, a mental and
physical atchletlc, armed cap-a-pie, a
masculin?! Minerva, declaring in Ids
first utterance his purpose to con
vince them that neither Governor
Blease or Senator Smith was flt to
represent them in the United States
Senate, failing which he asked them
to vote for the others and leave him
at home.
Looking to be in his thirties,, but
claiming to be 43, Mr. Jennings bas
the built, torso and style of a typical
fighter. Six feet and more in his
stockings, weighing perhaps 200
pounds, with a well-knit, almost per
fectly proportioned figure, broad
shoii lil ci s and well-shaped intellectual
head, broad at the base and tapering
to a high forehead, with a voice that
rings clear, faultless and pleasing for
stump speaking, fervid and Intense of
cl oe ut lon. and yet conservative and
parliamentary in statement, it IB*con
fidently predicted that who ever else
may be in at thc end of the rU^ithe
Mayor of Sumter will give a splendid
account of himself. We estimate him
as one of the best-equipped and most
effective and forceful speakers the
State hustings have developed in ten
years.
.After a brief introductory of himself,
Mr. Jennings took up the charge that
the state convention had robbed the
poor man of his franchise which he
denounced as tommy rot, demogog
lam pure and simple. He explained
the simple, just and undlscriminatory
working of the new rules to the vast
satisfaction of his auditors and was
applaused when he showed that the
attempt was to save the honest voter
from being' robbed by voting people
with fictitious names, strangers, out
siders, and dead men from the ceme
teries.
He declared he would not deal in
records of bis opponents, and "So help
me God I shall not flinch from telling
the people the truth from every plat
form in the state." He lauded Presi
dent Wilson as the example of a pub
lic servant as distinct from the self
seeking politicians who raise a hai
laballo about ever little flaw they can
find in the record of his great Demo
cratic President whose record, from
the tariff act to his Mexican policy, he
ably and eloquently explained and
eulogized. ?*
Mr. W. P. Pollock, who followed
Mayor Jennings, also gave good ac
count of himself and threw in an
earnest, at this the initial meeting of
tho campaign, of his purpose to get
down to brass tacks, csll a spade a
spade, and give blows as well as take
them.
NO MORE HUGGING IN DANCES.
Masters Decree Wide Open Space Be.

(Cleveland Dispatch.)
A combination In restraint of all
features of the modern dances which
even suggest the wiggles of the Orient
was formed by the dance masters at
today's session of their ' convention
here. They will not teach those dances
which lack the official sanction of the
association. To this end committees
have been appointed to pass upon the
dances of the day, to wit. the tango,
maxixe, one step and hesitation.
More open space between dancers
will be the rule.1 In many of the new
