TRYING 10 BE FAIR
Horn*; of our good friends wore pcr
turbod yesterday because of the
amount of matter we carried In thin
paper In Friday's Issue with refer
ence to Cole l?, RIeasc. We wish to
assure these friends that the matter
was marked "Paid Advertisement."
This paper lias set out to give all
persona In politics a square deal.
Sometimes we get awfully bored with
the whole proposition, but we can't
see our way clour to "cut loose" and
bemeun a man Just because we ? annoi
support him.
To sot all doubts aside, we wish to
say that (his It NOT a Illease paper,
and that the matter which some peo
ple objected to yesterday does not
express our sentiments, bul we wish
to say further that so far as human
ly possible we will try to give this
man a situare deal.
Hornelimes lie says harsh tilings of
m? h whom we admire and respect,
tilings that make us feel very resent
ful, that make us wish to make tin:
cuuse of our friends our own. Hut
there is at stake in South Carolina to
day too much more than tin* mere
holding of a few Jobs, too much more
than u mere disgusting political cam
paign. There is at stake the peace
and happiness of the people. Stir
ring .up strife will make them rest
less and dissatisfied. The newspa
pers have been accused of making
strife. This is not true, but we wish
to see the campaign end without the
newspapers being forced to take much
part, and then, let the result bo what
It may, It cannot be churged agaln?t
the press that It endeavored to stir up
the people and to excite a bitterness
that yenre might not eliminate.
In this connection, we have receiv
ed a letter from a man in this coun
ty, no doubt a very good men, who
wishes to stop bis paper. He says.
"After the time was up, I went to
taking another paper. If you can't
give justice on both sides. I was at
Greenville Saturday and I saw which
way it Wae. Tho paper said it was
all for Smith. I saw two-thirds of
them was for Ulease. I don't want to
read your paper." This man who is
strong for "Justice on both sides" Is
not Just himself for he does not tell
the truth. This paper did not say that
"It was ALL for Smith." We quoted
W. Mills Mooncy, county chairman of
Greenville county, as saying that the
crowd was 3 to 1 against BIcase. We
did not even solicit the statement
from Mr. Mooney and it was not sent
in by an employe of this office, but by
u man In whom we have the most im
plicit confidence, and since, has been
confirmed by some men of undoubted
veracity, although we do not know
upon what they based their estimates.
The question of the crowd at
Greenville, however, Is of minor con
sideration. We rgerot that this man
whom we have never eeon and may
never see, does think that The Intelli
gencer has been unfair to his cham
pion. We feel sure that we have dono
so much to provo our earnest purpose
to be fair that we have been hurt by
tho speculation on tho part of some
very good friend tha' "we were lean
ing toward Blease."
Again wo Bay that the purpose of
this paper Is to try to present a clean,
readable paper, and to give the peo
ple the news. Upon great moral 1b
auea we will never hesitate to state
our views. But In this present issue
of mere personal politics, so much has
been said and written and spoken that
wo will merely try to keep the record
straight and lot the people select
whom they choose. We have our de
cided convictions on this matter, but
do not think it necessary to express
them. And hereafter, when we pub
lish political advertisements, we will
so label them that none will fall to
observe. We cannot, under the low,
refuse to take political advertising,
that Is not of an offensive or scurri
lous nature, and in fact, good conduct
would not permit us to reject It. if
the reading matter ia permissable as
to its nature, any more than a store
keeper or an inn-keeper or a preacher
should reject the custom of the gen
eral public.
THE Hit HEY CASE
This paper lias received from the
office of Governor Blease a copy of
tho exhibits In tho Gus Rlchey case.
Tho governor says. "In fairness to mo
I ask that you publish this in full in
your paper. As The Intelligencer
published iu Friday's issue practical
ly a summary, we do not feel called
upon t? publish the whole, although
we would have one so, perhaps, had
the letter been received In tim?.
But, while it came by special de
livery from . Columbia and left
that city at 1:30 Thursday afternoon,
It did not reach office until Friday
morning on account of tho miserable
postal connections to which we have
heretofore called attention. There
Is hardly another city In tho United
States that has to suffer the lack of
postal facilities that falls to the lot. of
j^dersoh.;,;,.-?! .,??,.
The. statement exhibited by the gov
ernor shows that Supt. I). J. Oriflith
of Ilio stutc penitentiary stated that
the prisoner had been unable to do
any work; the penitentiary physician,
Dr. Jennings stated, "I lind Iiis right
lower limb paralyzed from the waist
down"; It. A. Mitchell, a guard, stated
that Itichey iiad bad convulsions; Dr.
<\ (Jumbrell, of Abbeville, stated
that Itichey bad bad an injury to Iiis
spine and that he was subject to con
vulsions; and there were letters from
R. E. <'ox. W. I?. Greene, and other
citizens of Abbeville declaring that
the law had been vindicated and that
mercy should demand that Itichey be
released. Mr. Green declared that a
careful reading of tho testimony
might convince any unprejudiced
mind thut itichey was not guilty us
charged.
There Is a statement from Drs.
Knowlton and Mein tosh In the lan
guage published in this paper yester
day, and another statement in the
Identical language signed by Dr. Jen
nings, of Columbia, Rolfe E. Hughes
of Laurens and W. I). Simpson of Ab
beville. The state hoard of pardons
recommended the parole, as one of
the members of the board was not
politically friendly to the governor;
and there are statements from Drs.
Simpson, Gambrell and Hughes that
the condition of the prisoner has
greatly improved and that bis life has
been saved by letting him out in the
fresh air.
The governor also submits a copy
01 the bond in the case to show that
Rickey is not pardoned or paroled,
but is merely out on bond pending
a change in his phyelc>.' condition.
These are, In brief, the reasons for the
governor's action. The charge against
Rlcbey was , ruining a poor, little
girl whom be bad adopted and who
called him "Papa". He was convicted
by a Jury in his own county.
CHILI) LAHOR LAWS
Northern newspapers are again
beginning to direct criticism at child
labor conditions in the South. All of
which is cruelly unjust. The children
employed in the mills, according to
our observation, are happier than
those on the farms. And the average
wage paid to a girl in a cotton mill
is more than the average wage paid
to a stenographer.
The cotton mill industry is in Its
infancy. There are many things to
bo learned, but we believe the mill
managers are doing everything they,
can to make the life and surroundings
of their employes brighter and bap
pier. And this is but the beginning.
If tho experiments that have been
started should prove to be along the
right line, we believe that there will
an Increasing amount of welfare
work. Wo have expressed the same
views In the past, but this gives op
portunity for renewed avowal of our
Interest In tbo welfare of the mill
children and of our resentment of the
offlciousness of these fanatics or en
thusiast who declaim against the
south, while they are blind to the
tremendously greater evils of the
north.
There is no more comparison be
tween the child labor conditions in
the south and In the north than there
is In "graft" conditions in some email
town politics compared with the un
speakable stench discovered in New
York because of'the Becker case.
We would like to see every child
taken from work and put Into school
?wherever possible. The managers
of tho great manufacturing estab
lishments have the labor of children
thrust upon them. They do not seek
for this class of help.
There are more children under the
age of 14 working in the city of Phila
delphia thaa in the entire south. Lit
tle wonder that we take exception to
the slogan, "child labor In the
South."
It has always seemed disgusting to
us that while 'the offices of the Nat
ional Child Labor committee are In
New York the committee must al
ways be harping upon "Child Labor
In tho South," when there are 1.000
children In the sweatshops in New
York, city to every "doffor boy" who
has time to run out and play a game
of marbles every hour during th?
day.
GOOD MAN FOR THE PLACE.
Anderson county has had quite a
distinction this year In the naming of
J. C. Docworth of Willtamston as
chairman of the committee to appraise
tho valuation of the cotton mills of the
state. Mr. Ducworth Is a graduate of
the textile department of Clemeon Col
lege and Is well fitted for the work
which has been given to him
Mr. Docworth is one of the most en
ergetic yonng men in the state and In
addition to this large responsibility he
has recently undertaken his part of the
work of inaugurating a big chautau
Qua for farmers to be held at Williams
ton in August. As chairman of the
board of trade of Williamston he is
pushing this vigorously and we hope
that his efforts will be successful and
tb ?t there will go out troni the Chau
taiiqua influence fui listing good in
the county
Mr. Ducwortb ie also endeavoring to
aid hl? people by getting an equaliza
tion of the assessment of property for
taxation in this county. Anderson
land? are rated higher than any other
county in the state and while the far
mers of Anderson have made their
farms valuable, yet there Is little jus
tice in sticking a heavier tax on their
lands than upon the lands of Marlboro
and other counties where the land is
notably of high vulue.

ANDERSON ELK
ENJOYED TRIP
Tom Bolt Back From the Grand
Lodge Which Met This Year
With Denver . P. . E.
J. Tom Holt, past exalted ruler of
Anderson lodge No. 120C. Uenevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, has re
turned from the grand lodge of the
order, which met this year with the
Denver lodge. Mr. Holt auys that he
never enjoyed an alfalr more in his
life than he did this meeting of the
grand lodge.
Speaking of the trip, Mr. Unit said:
"Friday we spent in Cincinnati sight
seeing, etc., and a good deal of tho
things we saw were et cetera. Cincin
nati is g, city of probably half a n?'.," ?
lion people, most of whom are Ger
mans, Jews, Creeks and Italians. It
is noted for its piano manufactories,
potteries, wholesale jewelry establish,
ments, splendid street railway system,
zoological gardens, consumption of
beer and whiskey.
Saturday we spent in Chicago, the
Windy City, so-called, we believe, be
cause of the severe winds that blow
in from the lakes. Chicago has nearly
two million population?mostly for
eigners?almost every man of which
?3 practicing the rule of "Do others
before they do you." Let us say right
here that Chicago is no place for a
man who has any confidence in hu
manity. We believe six montile in that
town would make the ?orglving
soul callous and obdurate. No one at
tempted to bunco us, hut if you do not
want to be run over you had better
keep both your eyes peeled while
strolling around Chi. Did I say stroll?
Well, there is no such thing as being
permitted to stroll in that town. You
have to keep on the dead run to keep
out of the way.
A portion of Sunday was spent in
riding through Iowa, and at Omaha,
Neb. Iowa is one of the greatest
farming section? of this country. As
far as the eye could reach on both
sides of the railroad were great fields
of waving corn, oats, wheat, ready to
cut and being cut, timothy hay, alfalfa
etc. The farmers out there seem to
have little regard for the Sabbath as
threshing machines, reapers and hay
presses were in operation, and men
were engaged in harvesting Just as if
it had been Monday. Sunday after
noon we spent in Omaha, and, lest we
forget, we will say this is some warm
burg. It was 110 in the shade. The
men paraded the streets without coats
and the women without petticoats. A
half day in Omaha during July Is suf->
flclent evidence of the reason why Mr.
Win. J. Bryan takes a summer cottage
In the wilds of Tarli el la.
We arrived in Denver Monday morn
ing. Now Denver is some town. Al
most every street and budding was
profusely decorated with tue colora
of the . . . E.?white and purple?
while the electrical display was said to
be the most magnificent ever attempt
ed in the history of the world. There
were about one hundred thousand
visitors, mort of whom were Elks, and
on every hand was a royal welcome
for tho Billa. Even the Denver papers
were printed in purple ink on white
paper for tho four days of the Elks
convention.
The convention lasted until Thurs
day afternoon. It was the largest at
tempted and the most successful In
the half century existence of tho or
der. The parade was spectacular to
a marked degree.
Friday, July 17, we spent at Caro
na, Colorado, styled "the top o' the
world." It is 13,000 feet above tbe
sea, and is a place of perpetual snow,
and on this mountain top we played
snow ball with a 1,111 from Kansas.
We started home Friday night and
made good time back to Carolina, ar
riving here Monday evening.
BIT OF POSING IN
WOMAN'S TRIAL
Letters of Mme. CaUlaux Were
Not Sufficient Provocation
For Murder
Paris,, July 24.?The defense in the
trial of Mine. Henriette Calliaux,
charged with tbe murder of Gaston
Calmette, editor of the Figaro, today
was caught in a trap.
The principal argument of Maitre
Lab?ri, counsel for Mme. Caill?ux has
been that his client was driven to
shoot M. Calmette through fear that
two letters, of which she was aware
photographic reproductions existed,
would be published by M. Calmette
and the secrets of her inner life there,
by made public. The letters were
produced and contained nothing sen
sational. . ,
.A dramatic bit of titlm?ny was giv
en during the day by Dr. Wllbert Cal
mette, director of the Pasteur insti
tute at Lille. H? paid a high tribute
to the character of h is brother.
"I am convinced," said Dr. Calmette,
"that it Mme. Caillaux had simply op
ened her mouth, if she had only said
to my brother, 'Is it true that you have
in your possession the private let
ters?1 my brother would have immedi
ately reassured her. If you know, how
scrupulous was my brother with his
word, he would h?ve removed Mme.
