Orangeburg county has 104 can didates for office and it will mean some real work to scratch a majori ty of them on election day. * * * * The Newberry Observer said much in these few words: "If men thought less of their rights and more of their duties, everybody would be happier and the world better." ? * ** The Bonus is one of the "burning issues" in some of the congressional campaigns.

If Greenville has the money and the nerve to erect two new hotels, and it appears that she has both, normalcy has been reached earlier in the Mountain City than in some other sections of the state. * . . .

They will both make good lawmakers as they begin anew to climb the political ladder. * * * . "With Appeals Pending." This morning's paper makes the announcement that there are in the death cell of the penitentiary six men, three white and three colored, under sentence of death, with ap peals pending. Not many years ago there was a clamor, and not without good cause, for speedy trials. As a result of this urging, trials in the main are more speedy, but the trouble now is with the numerous appeals that are possible under the existing practice and rules of our courts. One of the men under sentence of death slew several members of his family in cold blood nearly two years ago, yet the sentence of the court has not been executed because of ap peal after appeal. Between the gen eral assembly and the supreme court itself, this continuous appealing of cases should stop. If there is not suf ficient law on the statute books now to stop this trifling with justice through appeals on trivial or purely technical grounds, it should be en acted. A Mighty Good Governor. The Advertiser is simply stating' a plain truth when it says that Govern or Harvey is making the old Palmet :o state a mighty good governor. The fact is we would like to see him succeed himself by at least two years, and if it were not "onconsti tutional," we would move that his :ei*ra be extended, without further ceremony, through 1924. One thing, among many others, that v>'3 especially like about the Governor is that his "jaw-bone" is aot out of proportion to his "back bone." Without undue prating and parading, he acts when a matter is presented to him for .consideration, and not only acts with firmness but leaves off the "blow and bluster" which is sometimes heard from one vested for a season with authority. Being a mild-mannered man, just such a gentleman as one would ex pect Charleston's atmosphere of cul ture to produce, people looked on with bated breath when he first took his seat in the executive chair to see if he would REALLY BE GOVERN OR, and they have found him GOV ERNOR. So, as he is "fighting a good fight" and is "keeping the faith," we are not going to wait until he has "finished his course" to say "Well done.'" We are going to say "WELL DONE," to you, Governor Harvey, right now. Executive Needed With "Teeth." Not infrequently one hears this or that law referred to as having no "teeth," meaning that no provision has been made for its enforcement or that adequate punishment has not been provided, causing the law to have no terror for violators. In this day when crimes innumer able and of the most revolting kind are being committed and when great er respect for law should be engen dered, do we not also need executive officers with "teeth," men who are known to be unyielding and show violators of the law no quarter? Why provide laws with "teeth" and under these laws apprehend and convict the guilty only to have them set free to resume their career of crime? Of the men who are candidates for governor is not there one outstanding personality whose election would most please distillers, blind tigers and violators of the law of that type? If we are to judge the future by the past, would not the election of Mr. Blease mean that pardons in great numbers would be indiscriminately granted, causing distillers, blind ti gers and other criminals to grow bold er and bolder under the belief that if apprehended and convicted, a pardon could be secured through some "pardon attorneys," as many lawyers over the state who were in strumental in securing pardons were called. Would not a return of such a condition at this time, when crime, following in wake of the war, is al ready rampant, be extremelv unfor tunate? It is not an easy riratter to secure evidence sufficient to convict distillers and whiskey sellers, there fore it is all the more necessary when once they are caught in the meshes of the law that the sentences of the courts be not interfered with. Some good citizens will vote for Mr. Blease and in addition prac tically 100 per cent of the law break ing class will support him, because in the past he has proven himself to be the friend of the man behind the pris on bars. In this connection we would warn our men and women wrho stand for the suppression of crime and the proper punishment of criminals to "stop, look and listen," before cast ing their ballots for a candidate for governor. Mr. Blease has loudly de clared in the past that he would stand by his friends and .that his political enemies would sweat blood. As shown by his defeat, his friends have so dwindled in South Carolina that they are in the minority. Therefore, he has seen that, if elected, he must change his policy, outwardly, at least. So now he announces in a most lamb like manner that he will be governor of all the people. Let this not catch the unwary. As a matter of fact will not Mr. Blease's governmental policies be the same as they were eight or ten years ago? He is quoted as refusing to say upon the stump whether or riot he will grant pardons as he formerly did. If he says he will grant them as in discriminately, he will incur the dis pleasure of the good government ele ment of our citizenship, and if he says he will not, he then slaps the law breakers in the face. So that is the predicament in which Mr. Blease finds himself in this race. But after all is he not the same Mr. Blease? Ponder well before you cast your ballot.

Washington-Charges that fed eral offices in South Carolina have been "sold" for sums ranging from $800 to $2,000, by Joseph W. Toi-, bert, Republican national committee man, Republican state chairman and United States marshal for the west ern district of that state, 'were made by Senator Dial, Democrat, of South Carolina, in a statement Monday. Senator Dial said he had learned on unquestioned and absolutely con vincing proof that Tolbert had di vided the state into districts, in each of which he had stationed a hench man, who sold the federal plums for one-half the first year's salary, in sums ranging from $600 to $2,000. Tolbert expected to realize $100,000 out of the system, Senator Dial said, an affadavit declared. A senatorial subcommittee is now examining into his fitness for ap pointment. It is said that such se rious allegations, including the Dial charges, have been made against bim, that he will not be confirmed by the senate.

The slogan, "Five good cows, 100 laying hens annd three brood sows on every farm," is all right as far as it goes, but here in the Southwest where peaches, pecans, plums, grapes, pears, ar.d in some sections, apples, can be grown almost to perfection under proper cultivation and care, the slogan should be amended and the word "orchard" added. The small home orchard, berry patch and vineyard makes a valuable addition to every farm. Not only is the orchard a factor in the reduction of the cost of living, but often it is a source of profit. s It does not take an excessive a mount of labor to keep a small or chard well cultivated and sprayed. Much of the work can be done in seasons of the year when other crops are laid by, but even though the or chard needs some attention during the busy season, it is profitable work. Every land owner, whether he op erates his own farm or rents it should begin preparation to plant an or chard, a berry patch and a few grape vines, if he has not already done so. If a tenant will not give the orchard proper attention, he is not the kind of man you want on your farm.If you do your own farming, you will be more than repaid for the little trouble and investment involved. Your farm* becomes more attractive. Its selling value is increased, also its rent value. A good renter will be more easily secured if the farm home has its small orchard. Why should farmers in the Southwest depend upon the thrift of a neighbor for his supply of fruit?-Farm and Ranch. Sailor Cured By Wireless. Paris-The record for a long dis tance cure is probably held by a sail or who was taken violently ill on a British vessel in the Mediterranean. The captain examined him and sent out a wireless report of the sailor's condition. It was picked up by a French ship, but no one aboard could read Eng lish and the message was relayed to a second ship, whose doctor under stood English, but could'nt write it. He wrote a prescription in French, sent it to another French steamer, where the directions were translated into English and forwarded to the ?original vessel. The captain followed orders and the sailor recovered. Citation. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF EDGEFI?LD By W. T. Kinnaird, Esquire, Probate Judge.
