Walker, Secretary and Manager Wednesday, Oct. 23, 1912 VOTE IN GENERAL ELEC TION. The following letter from Josephus Daniels, chairman of the national committee, calls attention to the im portance of every qualified Democrat taking part in the general election November 5. Mr. Daniels urges Southern Demo crats to come forward and make the \\7ilo/\ti ai: lu*<ti? He nnwcihlp VUW; 1U1 II *?OVi! W-J iwgv It is to be hoped that our people will see the importance of this mat ter ?in 1 will respond to the call. Mr. Daniels says: "There seems to be no reasonable doubt that Wilson will be elected on the oth of November. It is not enough that he should have a minor ity ot the electoral vote?every good Democrat wishes him also to be Pres ident by virtue of having a nityority, and not only a plurality of the popu lar vote. The question of whether he will have a majority depends upon the South. In your State it is certain that the electoral vote will go for Wilson. Many 'Democrats, there fore, in those States do not see the need of going to the polls and voting. Under this condition, the danger is that Wilson's vote will be small in your State, and if small in your State and other Southernstates, his popu lar vote will not &e as large as the sentiment in favor of bis election. "As a Southern man, I know the difficulty of getting out the full vot* iu an election when there is no need for it to secure the election of-our can didates, but in this campaign you will appreciate the importance 01 Wilson having cast for him in the ballot boxes every vote to which he is entitled. I am therefore writing to beg that in every issue of youi paper, from now until the election, you will call upon your people to come out and vote for Wilson and Marshall. If this is done in everv Southern State, Wilson and Marshall will not only have a majority of the p|pftnr?l vntp hut. a nminritv of tht popular vote. You appreciate tht importance of this. Ii he is elected only by a plurality, the Republican and Roosevelt parties will say that by uniting they can defeat us next time, whereas, if the Democrats have a majority over both, the opposition four years hence will find it difficult to give us trouble." THE ASYLUM BOND ISSUE. According to Mr. Lowndes J. Browning, chairman of the ways and means committee of the last house, the proposed issue of $1,000, 000 bonds for the State Hospital for the Insane will be necessary, ot\a? increased tax levy will have to W placed upon the State. The voter is then up against the proposition of in <TP5i>iiti<y tho Sihttp dolif hv ntto milllmi dollars or increasing the tax levy by li mills to pay for the work already done in providing for the State Hos pital. The present hospital plant, properly handled, would no doubt net the State a sum sufficient to re tire the bonds at maturity. It will all depend, however, upon the man ner in which this property is han dled whether the returns from its sale will justify such a course. Co lumbia real estate is valuable and daily enhancing and there seems lit tle reason to doubt that the proper men could arrange for the disposal of the State's present asylum property at an advantageous price. A great deal will depend upon the personnel of the men entrusted with this im portant transaction. N BUTTERMILK AND BUSI NESS. General business conditions throughout the United States are in a most flourishing condition. Bump er crops of all the cereals have been made, money seems to be easy, and even the imminence of a change in the administration of the national gov ernment seems not to have proved the terrible bogy that it generally does. While here and there the cot ton crop is not as good as the aver age and the local conditions may be somewhat depressed, there is no rea son for a pessimistic feeling even in such communities. Such depressions can be only temporary and the gen erally prosperous condition of the country at large will be bound to havs its reflex on even those locali ties where conditions are not up to the average. i-?nnK pienty 01 DuuermiiK ana banish the "blues." Maj. Micah Jenkins, who last Thursday succumbed to an attack of malaria, was a brave son of a brave sire. Kind and true, faithful to the best traditions of his race, no man could have a more loyal friend than Maj. Jenkins. As true as steel, as brave as a lion, as tender as a woman, he will be missed by those who knew him. A good neighbor, a true friend and a gallant gentleman and brave soldier is gone to his reward. It is true that we can't all be high fliers, but then we can watch the other fellow do some soaring at the county fair this week.

MR. ROOSEVELT'S NERVE. Whatever one may think of Mr. Roosevelt as a leader of political thought, the magnificent courage and the wonderful coolness displayed by jtiiin when the assassin's bullet so nearly ended his life, has created for him a wave of sympathy which in close States may enhance his political fortunes. The sympathy of the en tire country is with the ex-president. No one cau fail to admire his won derful nerve. We ttrust his recovery may be speedy and complete. The Press and Banner extends to the visitors in our midet this week a hearty welcome. We hope they will be more than repaid for the time spent in attendance at the county iTalr, and that both profit and pleas ure will accrue to them. Welcome to our city. ; The primary elections, the world's championship baseball series and sev eral other matters of minor impor tance being now out of the way, we triHt out delinquent subscribers will take up the important matter of their arrearages. Mr. Beard Replies. JElitor Press and Banner: . In your editorial comment ufjjon my let ter kindly published last week, are several assertions that I feel called upon to meet. Not because they in any manner place me on the defensive, but because I feel the ne cessity of placing: this new white man's party before my people In such a manner as will clearly show that between this neW Progressive party and the old Republican negro party there is not now and never ean be any kind of affiliation whatsoever, and I reiterate here.-that the very momerit I see signs of a disposition to appeal to the negro vote that I as a white man wHl turn and rend it as ruthlessly as the lion does the gazelle. i For your proposition that "the wicked flee when no man pursueth," on the gen-. eral acceptation that a "fair exchange lr no robbery," I respectfully band you this, "evil unto he whom evil thinketh." Hie Press and Banner is mistaken in its inference that their humorous remarks anent "Boom 23" ruffled my feelings. On the contrary, I am in entire accord with the late "Mark Twain," along that line, who when informed by his manager that people in a certain town were talking about him outrageously, wired back, "Make them talk well of me if you can, ill If they must, but be sure and keep them talking." The assertion that "Roosevelt is 99 9-10 of the Progressive party," has a familiar sound to me. That was the cry of the Jonesites last summer regarding the Blease faotion, but?Blease received the majority. Blease fought for the same principles now incorporated in the platform of the Progressive party, and naturally hi6 sup porters are the real recruiting ground for thlB new party, that has sprung into being in this State in response to that demand. Eoosevelt's opinion of Mr. Davis is no more a test or ms cnaracter tnan is my opinion of Abraham Lincoln (which is very bad) a test of my character. As to Booker Washington incident, I condemn that in any man and have no ex- ' cuse to offer for Roosevelt. The fact that Wood row Wilson has for years been the head of an educational Institute that takes negroes in on an equality with white men, and that when entertaining the annual 1 graduating class he has as president of the university sat at table with Chinese, Japanese and negroes, also meets with my severe disapproval. The matter of the negro delegates to the Baltimore convention from Northern States and who helped nominate Dr. Wil son, coupled with the fact that our distin guished (?) colored citizen, the Be v. Rich ard Carroll,Is now stumping the North for Wilson is not a state of affairs calculated to make the average Southern man feel Droud or entirelv satisfied with his oartv and its chosen standard bearer. i While visiting Charleston and at banquet Roosevelt stated to his hosts that in fur therance of his promise to make good Mc Kinley's political contracts, he would be compelled to appoint some prominent ne gro to federal office in South Carolina, and in order to get a negro least obnoxious to the white p?ople asked that they suggest a negro. Thinking the appointment would be at Columbia and anxious to secure his assistance in the Naval Station location, they, forgetful of all save their own flnan clal advantage, immediately recommended Crum. Charleston only got a portion of j what was coming to them for their perfidy towards the white people of the State, I ~r7 r ?r?i FHE HOSPITAL e to no higher purpose than the Many of the noblest men of all privilege to give the best that imanity. So, too, a community resources to no enterprise that is than the establishment in its While some of these dividends ollars and cents, there are otlr haps more important, may not Tver* on-such as the Baptists of the I'll _______ A- _ 11. _ win mean more 10 ine com an the increased circulation of ugh this is not to be despised, community of the kind of men istitution of this character will estimated in dollars . mty need'a hospital and it will ty to secure one that will give portions of such magnitude as e in contemplation. If it is es if not, let's establish one of our pirit which should actuate all e mass meeting that the com ?et the Hospital. , and a pull all-to-gether will They had no business to recommend a ne gro at all. As for LaFollette and Cumming6, they are perhaps in this position, like the fire man on the locomotive are competent to shovel the coal that generates the steam, but incapable of handling and directing the power thus created. The fireman gen erates the steam, but the experienced en gineer must hold the throttle that controls Its power. A man who cannot hold bis place in the lead must not assume the leadership. It is the survival of the fittest. Having shown that at worst Theodore Roosevelt is no more of a negro's man than is Wood row Wilson, I come to the proposition as to why one is even then hoitar fnr n<a t.hnn thp nt.hfr Roosevelt Is a Northern man who hae learned the error-of his way by bitter ex perience, and now turns his eyes upon the white South. He is coming our way. Wilson is a Southern man catering to the Northern sentiment that he might rise to power up there. His eyes are turned upon the black South?he is going from us?recreant to his raising?for financial and political advantage. I prefer a comer to a goer, therefore we have something to hope for from Teddy and absolutely noth ing from Woodrow, except a few hundred federal offices that will ko to the antl Blease or "better element" in South Caro lina, in case of the remote possibility of his election.

From week to week, from year to j year, there have beeu appearing in j these columns statements made by IJ neighbors, which we have all read ? with great interest and many of us j with great profit. But what we want , to know is, do they stand the greatest test of all?the leBt of time? Here is conclusive evidence on this point from an Abbeville woman : Mrs. E. L. Klllingsworth, Fort Pick ens, Abbeville, S. C\, says : "I had attacks of backache and severe pains through my kidneys. Often I felt dizzy and nervous and I was bothered by a kidney weak ness. Doan's Kidney Pills, which I obtained 81 P. B.
