TI'KSI>.\Y, APRIL 21. 1014. ?Weather forecast for South Carolina: Fair Tuesday; Wednesday fair, warmer in interior. Of course you are not going to vote for a newspaper's candidate. Who said you were? If the publication of the platforms, were all of it, we could look forward to the summer campaign with less dread. 'More diversified farming and less demagogic politics" would be a good slogan for South Carolina just now. In their contention for equal rights with men. we wonder if the suffragists have considered the possibility of being called upon to light their country's battles in time of war? The Newberry Observer wants to know what has become of the people, who used to drink sassafras tea "to purify the blood?'' Possibly they have taken to driukiug soinohing stronger. If you are not filled with the joy' of living these go?cr spring days, there is something radically wrong v and we advise you to consult a doctor without delay. Although new houses are going up constantly in Lancaster, it is very hard to find one for rent. The increasing demand for homes by the many newcomers here is a good evidence of our jteady growth. The extreme gullibility of certain North Carolinians Is well demon* strated by the fact that they are :said to he selling photographs of the "Mecklenburg Myth" In Charlotte for a dollar apiece. We are not so much concerned , about whether Governor IIlease or the secretary of war Is forced to "come down," but with the thought of how South Caro<ina has been forced to "come down" in the loss, through misrepresen tall ve politicians, of her glorious prestige. Neither Huerta nor illeasc wants to "come down," but If either held the best interests of his res . ?ctiv*C domains at heart, he could not do otherwise. It is squarely up to both dictators to submit to authority, yet' ^either seems to regard any power higher than himself. We don't need votes for women in Lancaster, but we do need civic clubs and the sooner they are formed the happier and safer it will be for all our people. The health of our town Is at stake at present. Will not the women come to the rescue? The Charleston Post expects that our governor will require the war department of the general govern ment to salute the South Carolina flag with several salvos before he will perndt Uncle Sum's soldiers to go into encampment on the Isle of Falrrfo. Hoiore The News appears again, It Is likely that the United States will have taken possession of Tamplco and Vera Cruz. Hut this does not mean, necessarily, war with Mexico. The President has made It clear that this country wants peace with Mexico. The move now taken la against the Huerta junta to teach it that the flag of the United States must be respected. John I.lnd, President Wilson's special envoy to Mexico, has said that within ninety days from the seizure of the two Mexican cities there would bo peace In Mexico. ] WIIX NOT "COMK DOWN." >11 It is now decided lout South t-aroliua will not get the encumpuieut at tDo Isle of Palms for the National Guard. Everything was moving along 'smoothly and the matter wins about p, settled. when Governor Please ^ "butted in" and was insulting to the secretary of war. llut notwithstanding, on account of the secrc-j ^ tary's good feling for South CaroUna, and at the earnest salicitatiou of Congresiuen Whaloy, Hagsdale and others, the war ucparuncm ue- i ^ cided to give South Carolina the en honor of entertaining the soldiers. ^ It was then that our over-sensitive ^ governor, thinking more of himself than of the good of the state, as is im so characteristic of him, wrote tin1 ^ secretary of war an offensive letter, (j demanding to know by what author- ^ ity the war department presumed to send troops into South Carolina . without consulting the governor. The secretary of war thereupon is- j sued an order desiguuting another state for the encampment, tlovernor (j lileusB then telegraphed the depart- j inent that he approved the sending of the militia to the Isle of Palms. The secretary of war replied l>y saying that if Coventor illease "comes (>t down as he did once before," the encampment would go to the Isle of Palms. The governor comes back ins by saying. "Illease is not coining to\ down and lie did not come down vel down before." Ho says further that tithe was treated discourteously, not me only by the secretary of war, but by Hoi the Putted States senators, congress- ma men and chief of division of military Th affairs. So the long and short of it is South fro Carolina is to lose the encampment. to which is eagerly sought after by other states, because the secretary of 'he war won hi not tickle the vanity of J Cole L. Blease. Let us remember he that the secretary of war is a mem- 'y her of a Democratic cabinet, having ^'a been appointed to that position by 'ow Wood row Wilson, a Southerner, born aro and reared, and one of the greatest sto1 of our Presidents. And yet Gover- ' >'?u nor Itlease is asking the people of you South Carolina to dlsplaco Senator her Smith, a farmed and the friend of ' the farmer, and send him to Wash- ' he ington In his stead. No man should hab be sent to the United States senate 'he to represent his party unless he is her in accord with the President, his I 11 cabinet and the policies of the party. If he is not. and is sent to Washington, he will prove to bo a figure-, head, or worse still, will neutralize (the efforts of the other senator and cas congressmen to further the interests (() j of the state in its relations to the t national government. libr No, Governor 13lease will not has "come down" now in the matter of the proposed encampment, nor will m0i lie "come down" from his high her perch, if sent to the senate, when the ope supposed dignity or the Interest of hoc .lie people of the state, one ful or the other, must yield. The vol honor and dignity of the state bra has "come down" many rungs on the tha ladder since It has been In the keep- uie ing of Governor Blease. It is square- ove ly up to the people of the state to de- nia ride Whether they will promote this fori man to the United States senate, s,r< where he will be in a position to ,>ril cause the prestige of the state to oa "come down" still lower. 11 Vl The encampment of the National Guard of four suites would have Itei brought to the Isle of Palms twelve or thirteen thousand soldier* and [ also have put into the pocket* of Col the people of South Carolina several cist hundred thousand dollars. Hut not- 1 r>t withstanding this and the further I fact tiiat it has been- mainly the Chi friends of the governor In Chariest hat ton, who have been urging that the It. encampment take place near that pre city, because of unreasoning opposi- lie' lion of Governor Blease to the plans of of the secretary of war. South Caro- fit# Una must lose the honor as well as lug the financial help from stich an encampment. The wise farmer is too busy makIng a living for his family to give I >a mum aiuiuuun juwv nuw 10 jmmiiicm. Many aspirants lor office are already ^ trying to oxlcte him and win hie vote. ^ but with land to prepare for planting ^ and a full season of work ahead, he haa little time Just now to give to their bids for allegiance. There will be ample time for excltment ^ after the crops have boon laid by. i?i ia Bloase's coat-tails are now the ^ platform on which Johnny McLaurln will stand for election for governor. 'In the good old days of Reform, he swung to Tillman's coat-tails until ^ he landed In the United States sen- a| ate, but lieu shook him loose and be C. fell from that dizzy height Into the e<> shades of private retirement Should he bo elected governor, of course, he will aspire to succeed Tillman in the United States senate. But w i Johnny has a hard road to travel before he realizes his golden dream. (I sunered lor sometime, nut me (1 came, despite all that medical ill could do for him.
