"How are the might\ fallen."
Hurrah for tin cotton hliw?<>in
"By Gum."
It was a bad time for fence
straddlers.
And for those who were opposed
to reforming the primary.
Lancaster Leads with the othei
counties against Bleaseism.
The flotsam and jetsam of the recent
political wreck strew the shore,
The good work must be completed
in the second primary by defeating
Richards.
We haven't heard of the fellow
who is known as "they say" since the
election.
Let's ;tll get together lu the second
primary ;tiul make it unanimous
against John G. Richards.
Ben Tillman has referred ("oh
Blease to the sacred Scriptures for
consolation.
South Carolina Ira. endorsed
President Wood row Wilson for the
second time.
All of the present congressmen
were re-elected They all had opposition
except Lever.
The voters pro? laimed in no uncertain
way Tuesday that they stand
for law and order.
Senator Smith says, "I look upon
this election as putting an end to
factional strife and division in South
Carolina."
According to the official returns
Senator Smith received every vote
polled at Tabernacle precinct for
United States senator.
If the people of Lancaster stand
for the telegraph service they were
given here Tuesday night and Wednesday.
they will stand for anything.
Don't he ?ver< ontident hut pray,
work and vote against John <1.
Richard* in the second primary His
<i?'ieat is more import.mt than that
of il!( ; p.
Now's tlie time for all I men
to conic to tlie aid of the party
against the man running for governor,
who endorsed Bloaseism on
every stump in South Carolina.
It makes but little difference
whether it be Manning or Cooper in
the second race with Richard- The
man from Liberty Hill will not get
as many votes a - he did in the first
primary.

Tlite characterization of Tom Mc
Dow and Steele Brovee of Vorkville
by Candidate for the House. A K
Hutchison, as political bosses, did
not have the desired effect. Mr.
Hutchison was snowed under.
In our general rejoicing over the
defeat of Blease, we should not forget
the unselfish service rendered by
L. I). Jennings and W. P. Pollock in
holding up, in every county in the
state, the infamous political record
of Cole L. Blease. They had no hope
of being elected, but they felt they
owed a duty to their state, which was
nobly performed
-
TIIH KKCKNT KLKCTION.
*? Of course The News rejoices with
all other lovers of law ami order
over the defeat of Blease in the recent
election and in the splendid
vote which Lancaster county regis
p. tered against him, and though we
remember the noble words of Chaptain
Phillips, standing on the battleship
Texas, to his men after the destruction
of Cervera's fleet at the
battle of Santiago, "Don't cheer,
boys, the poor devils are dying,*' we
feel that we should emphasize some
features of the campaign just closed.
Hleaseism was the paramount issue,
and it is a good omen that many
former followers of Blease all over
the state joined in with the antiBleaseites
in the defeat of Blease,
>c
_ and in this sense it was no factional
victory. As an evidence of how i
many Blease men viewed the matter, <
we heard of a prominent farmer of |
this county who voted an open ballot I
for Smith, saying as he did so, "I ad- |
mit that I was wrong two years ago I
and I want now to vote against .
Blease." Yes. it was a victory for t
law and order and both factions I
helped to achieve it. and in the lan- I
gunge of Robley IV Kvans, "There is ?
enough glory to go all round." i
~ We believe one of the results of ?
_ the election will be to sound the :i
i dentil knell of factionalism in South I
, Carolina. We believe it marks the c
end of the strife-stlrrer. who has 1
been a well-known factor in South c
Carolina politics, going about trying a
to put the county against the town d
and the farmer against the merchant, n
banker and lawyer, ait to subserve t<
some selfish end. u
But the victory is not yet com- s
plete. It remains now to defeat John d
(1. Richards in the second primary.
I lln to /.I 11.. l-.i .1
... ..- uuc <>i mi- i.iui'i day exponents p
of Bleaseism. who took occasion on e
every stump in South Carolina to tl
endorse Blease for the United States t;
senate over the protest, even, of Sen- < <
ator Tillman, whom lie blindly fol- si
'.owed for many years. m
It would he a calamity to the state o
for Richards to he elected governor V
and we hope that Lancaster county a
will roll up an overwhelming ma- tc
jority against him in the second pri- T
mary. tt
B
For the consolat'on of those can- r<
didates and their friends who lost
out in the recent print:.ry, we pass
i on the following little anecdote p
which appeared recently in The Monroe
Hiuiuirer: "They were having vl
';n kind of experience meeting, says vv
Ci
Mr. I>. A Houston, and he tells the
story well. A good old sister who n)
was a great church goer and worker st
was asked to rise and state what i?-xt .
' t!l
or pas-age o! Scripture had given her v
most consolation in her long life and Si
the one she loved the liest in all the nl
11i 1 ile. The good old sister rose and S1
adjusting her eyeglasses and folding
her hands, said: It is that verse \
which says 'tlrin and hear it.' *'

most importance that our cotton a
growers should get together and dis- Tl

The Yorkville Enquirer philoso-|
phises sagely in one of its longdrawn-out
editorials in the closing
days of the state campaign, for example.
"Well, if The Enquirer has
done anything to prejudice anybody
in this race we are not aware of it. ,
We have not been trying to help or
hurt any of the candidates so much
as we have been trying to correctly
inform our readers. We have not
allowed our personal feelings or j
prejudices to enter into what we had Jr
to say, so far as we were able to pre'T
vent."
And along comes The Anderson
Mail and cries, "Bravo."
Now that the battle is over, we
cannot let this attempt of The Yorkville
Enquirer to assume a position
of neutrality pass without entering a
caveat thereto. All the time, for the
past four years, The Enquirer has
lent the weight of its influence to the
perpetuation of Bleaseism. It made I
the insinuation that Pollock and
Jennings had received something of
>*alue to make the race against :
lllaooo Tl.lu ?... ll
I nir> ? an lUIIUHCU ll|? U>
'.lease at Sumter with the same
harge, which Jennings stamped jis
i lie. The Enquirer has many times
lireetly and indirectly criticized the
intl-IMonse candidates, hut we ehalenge
it to show any criticism what>ver
in its columns of Governor
Mease's record. Even the outragous
insinuations of the governor
gainst the character of that spletiid
York county woman, l>r. Eleaor:
I! Saunders, the Yorkville edinr
let pass unchallenged. when
ewspapers of every county in the
tate were rallying promptly to her
efense.
The Yorkville paper wound tip its i
hilosophising by saying that what r
ver "the voters decide as between I *
le various candidates. * * * we will |
ike the verdict of the people as re>rded
and abide by the same until
itch time as it may be changed to tors
unething more in keeping with our
wn Ideas of what ought to be done."
/ell. this was very condescending Wi
nd obliging indeed. But it occurs for 11
> us that there was nothing else for
he Enquirer to do. It is very oer- Ma
tin but for The Yorkville Enquirer tlona
lease would not have carried York ^"T?wa
