E. H. ACLL. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1905. "When Ellerbe died and McSwceny became governor there was a reign of blind tigers and wholesale of violations of the dispensary law." said Mr. A. C. Jones, in his speech at Young's Grove, as reported by the Observer. "He believed there was an understanding between the dispensary aut'horities and the blind tigers that the latter would not be disturbed so long as they got their liquor from the dispensary. This state of affairs continued through Mc Sweeney's second term, and ':hen then the people elected Heyward on the understanding that 'he would enforce the law: and he believes he is trying to do his duty; but has been told that blind tigers are almost as open in Charleston and Columbia as they were in McSweeny's time." The man who told Mr. Jones this wonderful thing was evidently well informed. Possibly it may be that he should have told Mr. Jones, however, that there. are no blind tigers in Charles ton; that there is notching blind about the illegal sale of liquor there; that it is sold openly now, as it has been since the dispensary law was enacted, and as it will be so long as the public sentiment of Charleston upholds it. We believe 'chat Governor McSweeney tried to do his duty. and we believe that Governor Heyward is trying to do his duty. Why this effort at this time, three years after Governor Mc Sweeney has voluntarily retired from the hig'hes'c office within the gift of the people of South Caorlina, to cast refleotion upon his administration. And where is the proof? Let's be specific, rather than general, in our charges. The members of the State Press association, who have been on a tour of the continent, including a trip to the Oregon exposition, are expected to reach Columbia on Wednesday night. They have had a fine trip, and it is needless to say that they have thoroughly enjoyed it. "He that is slow to anger is better hthan the mighty: and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city." but any man among you seem to be btdeceveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain." "Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles." "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be ." "No-r that which goet'h into the mouth de61leth a man: ~but that which cometh out of the mouth. that denleth a man." From the holy scriptures these quo tations are taken, without comment of any kind. The statement has been made to The Herald and News that it is being urged in some sections of the county 'that special registration certificates will be requnired in order to vote in the election on the dispensary qjues tion on August 29. It is hardly worth while to correct such a statement, but it can do no harm to say chat all -those wvho have registration certifi cates may vote in this election, as in - other general elections. Mrs. Virginia D. Young, in the News and Courier, takes occasion to give her "testimony as 'to t'he up rightness of my bretheren of the State Press association at WVhite Stone Springs in July, 1905. I make my statement." she says. "in answer to the charge of :nightly sprees' of drunkenness, said to have been brought by the Rev. W:~ L. Tate." M1rs. Young is loyal to the State Press association, as she has always been. but on this occasion, we want .,suggest to her that Mr. Tate's charge is no t wo rthy the notice ,he has giv'en it. Don't view it seriously; take it as did your friend. Col. Bacon, who. wvhen asked by te Edgefield correspondent of the News and Courier Tbout the matter. said: Well, I x-as abou a drunk as any one there, and you know, my dear ha my record for sobriety." There art people and people: among them ther< ! are .oe deserve nOtice. an< others who do not. Don't wo-ry about those w,o do not, Mrs. Young Treat them as did C,dl. Bacon. REUNION AT DELMAR. Enthusiastic Alumni and Thei! Friends Hold a Rousing Meeting. Many years ago Newberry colleg began to !hold reunions at Littl< Mountain annually. These were sc popular, so much was accomplishec that it soon became necessary to organize in several sections. Th< Saluda reunion was the first of these and now it has grown until it is sec ond in importance only to the Littl< Mountain reunion. Ic is no empti boast to say that these are the great est educaticnal rallies held in Soutl Carolina, and the good accomplish ed can-t be calculated. Others ar< and should follow the example. The Saluda reunion was held Fri day at Delmar, wh.ich is in Salud: county. This date and place are fixed The clouds were threatening, still th< crowd was the largest yet to gathe: here. Every horse, mule and ox ii Leesville was pressed into service. a party of forty young people rigget up -gon forty feet long. witl seats, secured two yoke of magnifi cent oxen, left town at 6 o'clock an< drove oue. They were on the roac four hours. The party wore the col lege colors, had them streaming fron the oxen's horns and from every par of the wagon. A large banner, wit the kEgend, "Leesville" on one sid and "Newberry College" on the other floated high above the wagin. Th, party presented a jolly and gala ap pearance. They returned last nigh about 9 o'clock with songs and yells The meeting was greeted by a larg, part of Newberry students, member! of the Glee club, w'ho lustily sang sev eral of their most popula r songs which were greatly enjoyed.
