WW ' ' v '. ? ' V m ' 1 ^ The Press and Banner !*=? ABBEVILLE, 8. cV p? "?~ Publithed Every Wednesday by W. W. Bradley, W. H. Bradley, President. Vice-President Wednesday. July 22* 1914. THE GREENVILLE INCIDENT There was nothing insulting or even improper in the question direct ed to Governor Blease by Mr. Nor wood, and Governor Blease's insult ing reply was inexcusable. A question of veracity had been raised by Dr. Mcintosh's denial of Governor Blease's statement at Abbe ville, and it was eotir6ly proper for the Governors friends and his oppo nents to hear his version of the af fair. It was excusable in Mr. Norwood that he then apd there did his ut most to resent the insult, and right here our approval of Mr. Norwood's course stops. Mr. Norwood's intem perate speech which will be con strued as drawing social lines was not only a mistake from his stand ru\Ktw>nliv hut. ariried nnthinc r ~? "t v i ?"--r"?,. * --o| to the force of his resentment. Mr. Norwood is a man of the highest character wad of undoubted courage and no war of words could empha size these known characteristics*] Truly has. it been said, "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." There has been a good deal of heckling'indulged in in the Senato rial campaign, and so long as it does not descend to the plane of insult, it adds interest to the meetings; but a gross or insulting rejoinder contrib utes nothing either to t?e individual or to the-oecasion. We believe that Senator Smith has been more cartful in this respect than any' member of the campaign party. He has taken even the thrusts of his opponents good nattiredly, and has manfully defended his record. It is true he doesn't seem to. think that there is anybody in this country but farmers or any commodity but cotton, but maybe tijiis feeling is intensified by the fact be is having to.baitie with three very able lawyers to retain his seat. * HAVE YOtJ tiKKQIXED ? If there is a man in Abbeville county wlio has not placed his name on the club rolls, he should do it at once. Whether he desires to vote of not, he should place himself id posi tion to exercise his right of storage unquestioned by any living man. The process is easy, differing from the old l>lan only in the feet that the voter writes his o^n name instead of having the enrolling ciert ao n as ui old. ' There is nothing in the present rules to interfere with the rights of any voter unless the voter is hunting obstacles. When the convention had eliminated one objectionable feature after another and had.acUourned, the Herald and News, a strong supporter of Governor Blease, remarked in sub stance : The rules are all ri^ht only they are long and cumbersome. And all the newspapers of the State spoke in chorus to the same effect. But suppose tliere aire harsh require ments in the rules, which there are not, they constitute the Democratic law in gouth Carolina for this year, and we have got to abide by them or bolt them. Whatever our feeling of resentment, if there is occasion, which we do not grant, if all the white people have complied, a ma jority working within the party can hereafter amend, alter or do' away with all: rules, but it will require a majority of enrolled votes to bring , about desired reforms. In 1892 Till man and Tom Watson were on the same platform, Tillman within the party aj)d Tom withopt. Tillman reformed Ms party and Watson equally as able, equally as honest,' has been a kind of political Ishmael ite. As long as we would maintain a white man's party, we had better comply with its rules. JOKING OK BOOSTING? Elsewhere in this paper will be found Editor Aull's reply to an edi torial in the Press and Banner anent his claim that Mr. i)ominick will carry every county in the Third Dis trict, except Abbeville. Not having had the training in journalism that the veteran editor of the Herald and News may justly claim, this editor may have un thoughtedfy verged on personality in reviewing Cbl. Aull's omnibus claim fbr Mr. Dominiek. In so far as we may have done this, we gladly withdraw anything that may have been considered personal; and return to the facts. It might be well in the beginning to enlighten Col. Aull as to the fic tion that l am Mr. Aiken's private secretary. There is no such position as private secretary to a Congress man. Senators have their private secretaries, who are regularly on the government pay roll, but the Con gressman pays for clerical help, pays to one or a dozen if he sees fit and pays it when or where he pleases. At one time Mr. Finley had two lady clerks, one at home and one in Wash ington dividing his clerical hire be tween them. The great bulk of the clerical work through the k jneots can be dope at home.] one essential thine: is that the Con gressman should not pocket any of the fund himself, and in this respect 'Mr. Aiken's record is absolutely : clean. Perhaps the position that Mr. |Dominick holds as clerk in the At torney-General's office is of more im j portanee and may have a name and I ? r?lat\tt An r\otr ??a1 1 Wa a vii tiiv jiciio a ycl-j tun* ?? t assume, however, that Editor Auli, who would take us to task, sees no objection to both the Attorney*Gen eral, Mr. Peebles, and his clerk, Mr. Dominick, taking a couple of months outing in the pleasant game of job hunting, while their salaries go se renely on. This is an insignificant matter, not worthy of notice, except to illustrate to Colonel Aull the smallness of his similar reference to ourselves. Col. Aull asks if Mr. Aiken owns the Third District. No, Mr. Aiken nor his private secretary does not own the Third District, but the Third District doe? own Mr. Aiken and it has had from him clean, prompt, faithiul service, receiving all of his time and the closest possible atten tion. Not a man in t,h? Third Dis trict, np matter what his station in life, who has had occasion to ask Mr. Aiken's aid will gainsay this state ment. It might be well enough in this connection to remind Editor Aull that he can not mortgage the Third District to Mr. Dominick, by staking it off in his "40 acre and a mule" style, in the colnmns of his paper. Political booms, like charity, should begin at home and we submit that there is nothing in the record for twelve years, and even up to the present, to indicate that Mr. Domi nick, aided all the while by the editor of the Herald and News, will carry Newberry county. In fact, reading the future by the past, there is every indication that he will not carry Newberry. As to the other counties of the Dis trict, Colonel Aull has one of two sources of informatipn: his favor ite's statements or his own car win dow canvass. Col. Aull has had too much nolitiral PYlVriPnr'A tft rolir nn either, of these, and hence we con elude that we have taken him too se riously. After all he was perhaps just boosting his candidate. ! Editor Aull doubtless believes that Mr. Domiuiek will be elected. He 'wants to believe that way, and faith usually follows pretty close in the ?rake of inclination or self-interest. The Good Book defines faith to be "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Then Colonel Aull must be a verita ble Abrahaip as concerns Mr. Domi* pick's chances, for he is evidently consumed with hope and we believe he has seen but little on which to i>ase it. ' We \yould not intimate that he is expecting any favors from Mr. Dom iiui-B. ju tr^iug mj ianu mm in uon gresa. We credit him with unselfish friendship, cemented by the ups and downs of fifteen years. OF course Col. Aull is not looking for any job /or himself or for any of his people in ease he can land Mr.. Dominick, but if he were, it would be very easy to see how his faith would ripen into hope and hope would ripen into eer tainty in-hls forecasts. Cpme to think of it, however, both l&Htor Aull and this editor are wast ing a lot of printer's ink carrying counties and districts for our respec tive favorites, in advance of the pri mary. We recall no\*s that claims very much like Editof Aull's modesl little omnibus claim for Mr. Bomi niflr hflvo nahoraH in noo?lw candidate who has opposed Mr. Aiken since the beginning of his ser vice. They c^o no particular harm, and it alwayB helps the candidate up. If 051. Aull will pardon a reference to two veteran politicians in Abbe ville county we will illustrate with a little story. There were two old Confederate vets in the county who were ooriamonly called by the Chris tian names of Pete and Bill. Like some of the rest of us. they were ear ly on the Tillman tide, and they landed together as two of the three county commissioners. After serv ing one term, they launched again for bigger things, Pete running for Sheriff and Bill lor Superintendent of Education. After a canvass of the county Bill became very much dis couraged and fold Pete he thought he would abandon the race. Pete re plied, "Why, Bill, you are going to carry Due West, Lowndesville, Mc Cormick, Abbeville,?every box, ex cept perhaps your opponent's home box." Bill broke into a smile and said, "Pete say that again; I know it's all a darned joke, but it does sound so good." The plain fa\:ts of history compel us to admit that as much as Bill appreciated the kindly intent of his friend, he knew better. And now, Editor Aull, taking the lesson to heart that you have so gracefully given us, for candidly we have great respect for your expe rience and your ability as an editor, we have sought to avoid even the semblance of personalities in this re ply. We appreciate your kindly of fer In the closing paragraph of your editorial and assure you that we Vill not be found to be less courteous, when similarly situated. Sermon to Bible Society. Rev. Jas. L. Martin, D. D., will preach the Annual Sermon before the Bible So ciety at Shiloh (Methodist) Church next {Thursday, July 23rd. *? i Cleat and Plain. ! The Newberry Herald and Nows. The editor of the Abbeville Press and Banner who is Mr. Wyntt Aiken's private secretary and who remains in the district all the time, publishes quite a diatribe j against the editor of The Herald and News in a recent issue taking as his test, which I he does not follow, a little paragraph we j had as to our opinion of Mr. Dominick's chances of election. The innocent little | paragraph must have touched a tender spot. The Press and Bannor^gets poetic and sarcastic and funny and personal all in the short space of a column. We were not personal or sarcastic or funny. We only expressed an opinion based on state ments we heard made by people who live in the third district. We may be mistak en but certainly we have a right to express an opinion in parliamentary language without being held up to ridicule by the secretary of Mr. Aiken. Editor Aull was defeated for election as county superintendent of education of Newberry county. A great many of those who did not support us have voluntarily come up and acknowledged the mistake they made and have admitted that the schools of the county have suffered more than we. have. "We have not whined or complained. If you *ant our record we were defeated once for the legislature and at the next election elected. We were"de feated f6r the senate. We fia've never complained. The offices do not belong to Editor Aull and we always bow gracefully to the will of the ri&ple. But what has all this got to do witftMr. Dominick's rac j for congress. Surely you will give us the right to'Our opinion and the righc to ex press it. We-do n<ft propose to be person al or to abuse Mr. Aiken but we do pro pose so far as our ability goes to show the people of this district that it is to.the in terest of the district to elect Mr. Domi nlck. Yes, we said we were going to take atrip over the district. We have had one and we are so much pleased with what we have oQon on/1 fr\anr\}a xxrpk ViO_ttA mAt. f.hftf". Wfi are going: to take'another. We beg that you will not interfere or prevent us this little pleasure. Does the'district belong to Mr. Aiken, and his secretary, the editor of the Press and Banner?. We did not know it. Is Editor Aull not to be allowed the pleasure and the privilege of riding through the district, in one section of which his parents reside ? Has Mr. Aiken and his secretary, the editor of the Tress and Banner,* any proprietary rights we would invade wrongfully by so doing ? Editor Aull is a private citizen who tries to be law abiding and is always willing 10 give every one the right to' express his opinion freely. Surely he should be igiven the same right. If Mr, Aiken and his pri vate secretary, the editor of the Press and Banner, knows of any good reason why he should not, please speak out. . * It is true that Mr. Dominick was.tle feated for the legislature,in athis* county some 12 years ago.vbut in the same race Editor Aull was olec.ted. As to betting on Newberry county Edi tor Aull is a church member, but not such a good one that he would hide behind a friend if he wanted to bet. So If you have anything to put up come along yourself and not behind some friend. Let's do it in the open like men. You may know more abbtlt Newberry county than we do. We do not claim to know much but we are going to say what we think if you will permit us. If you want to back your judgment with your money come out in * * ?J - ? -a /1a 44- Viiif rwif thrmicrfi I ,pne open uuu jot o uu in, ....vupi.. somebody else. Suppose we postpone the sinking of the swan song until after the 35th of August. We will know more about It then. 1 Take this from Editor Aull: He is going to do all-he can to bring about the electftn of Mr. Dominick. He is not going to be per sonal in any reference to Mr. Aiken or his secretary. He is not going to do anything behind closed doors. He is going to fight In the open and not strike below the belt. He holds no office and is not an applicant for any. He expects, if you do not object too strenuously r to spend some more time "through the district. If you will come * " Vfinrharrv wo will endeavor to make it as pleasant for you as we know how and will be glad to take you out in the country or to any other place you may de sire to go, but we are going to defeat Mr. Aiken if we can. We hope this is clear and plain. MEN CURED FOREVER Byatruespe cialist who* possesses the experience of years.
