^ ~N< r IV AWAY WITH PEANUT POLITICS! Ir Blease's Home Paper Gomes Out For Ansel and Explains Wby. For reasons that may or may not be apparent, the Observer did not intend to take any part in the race for Governor. In the first place, it never supposed for a moment, and does not suppose now, that there is the slightest probability of Governor Ansel's defeat for re-election. But attacks have been made on him of such a character that we feel it our duty to take some notice of them?in justice to him as man and Governor, not as candidate for reflection. Let us say right here that, taken all round?in the quiet, diligent, business way in which he has discharged his duties, in his fairness to everybody and every interest, in bis earnest, determined stand for the' right, in his personal honesty and ! integrity, in the absolute freedom of j his administration from even a taint j of scandal?Governor Ansel has made the beat Governor since Johnson Hagood. He is eutitled by faithful and efficient service to the : full beuelit of the custom that prevails in South Carolina that gives a Governor a second term. The Governor has been attacked ' for the ''extravagance" of his ad- ' ministration. The ' extravagance'' chat is harped upon most by legisla- 1 tive candidates consists in the large 1 appropriations to the higher institutions of leainiug in the State. These appropriations was made by the Leg* ' islature; the representatives in the Senate and the House are solely re- ; sponsible for them. If we remem ber correctly there was do fight made on any of these appropriiitions in either the Senate or the House. *If they are too high the Senators 'and Representatives are to blame? not the Governor. He is not responsible for any appropriation that -was made by the Legislature,wheth- 1 ^er high or low. But he recommeuded an appro- 1 priation?which was not made, by the way?for a new "Governor's i .Mansion," So he did, and so did his predecessors. The truth is. the j present Governor's "mansion" is un- ; worthy of the State. It is simply ( the remuaut, or unburut portion, of the old Arsenal building. In a , stone's throw of it are a half dozen , or more private residences that are j far superior to it in every particular, except in the beauty and spaciousness of the lot. It is a fine location for a mansion but the mansion is not * 1 Lift tliere?oniy a maaesuui. Governor Ansel knew that if the State should adopt his recommendation and build a Goueruor's raansiou he could not occupy it, for his term of office?the second term as well as the first?would expire before it could possibly be completed. But he felt that his successor, whoever he might be, deserved something better than the present one and that State pride ought to furnish it. One appropriation would be j sufficient, and that, spread over the | many years that such a mansion, would last, would make the cost in- | significant, lie appointed a negro notary pub-1 lie. So did John Peter Richard- | son and W II Ellerbe and B R Till-' man and D C Heyward. He ap- j pointed him because he was recom- j mended to him by white men of standing and character, including two members of the Legislature from the county n which the ap iw York Most eve i ? pointee lives. A notary public exercises no authority whatever; he only administers oaths when re* ' quested to do so; it is simply a mat- < ter of convenience to his neighbors.

Mrs M M Davison, of No. 379 Gifford Ave., San Jose, Cal., says; r "The worth of Electric Bitters as a general family remedy,for headache, bilioii8uess and torpor of the liver d and bowels is so pronounced that I am prompted to say a word in its favor, for the benefit of those seek- o ing relief from such afflictions. o There is more health for the diges- ? tive organs in a bottle of Electric Bitters than in any other remedy I know of."
