Mr. Cole. 1 Blease, candidate for governor an State senator from t-his county, i his campaign speeches throughout tli State had placed his personal chai actor in issue and had challenged as sault upon it. He had referred tl people of South Carolina to Wk pa: tor, the J{ev. Dr. .T. W. Wolling, as t his personal character. On Wcdne: day morning the Columbia Stat published a card signed by six of t.li ministers of Newberry county, wh stated that they deemed it thei "duty to say" that they did "no directly nr indirectly, endorse hi candidacy." That card was not sign ed by Dr. Wolling. In the first place, Mr. Blease hai not called upon any one to endors his candidacy, and il is to he regret led that the ministers of Newberr should have taken part in ft politiea campaign by publishing a statement as ministers, that they did not en dorse his candidacy, however tunc' they may have been opposed to hi election. Even if Mr. Blease had rf ferred his character to the minister of Newberry, and not to Dr. \\ ol 1 inV specifically, the ministers, ii their published card, said nothin about his character. Boiled dowi their card amounted to their savin that thev did not support him an would not vote for him. There was no duty resting upon th ministers to make this statement. N one will (|iiestion their right. as fro American citizens, to make it. Bu in making >' they laid douw the ga for Mr. Blease to wade in, and. a we have said, we regret that the it eident occurred. If the ministers have any specifi charge to make against Mr. Blease character, while Mr. Blease in hi speeches has referred only to D Wollin1.:. we believe il would not 1; inappropriate for any minister i NeuheiTV |o bring that charge. M Blease has challenged it. and 1 staled in his address on Wednesda that he defied any one to make sue charge. In their card in the Stal the ministers urged nothing again! Mr. Blease's character, and. in fao made no reference to it. We regret that the card was pnl lished. without necessity, as we si it. and resulting, as it did, in tl scns;ii ional features of Wednesday mooting. From the tone of some of its r cent editorials, it might appear th; the Newberry Observer is again any candidate for reelection to tl general assembly, who has served that hodv, who advocates cconom eal appropriations in his campaii: for reelection. We desire to impii of the Observer if this is correct. The presidential campaign h paled into insignificance in Nowbr rv county during the past week. News From Excelsior, Kxcelsioi.

FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER. ' I beg to announce my candidacy ' for reelection to the ollice of railroad commissioner. I am making my campaign not on promises as to what I I will do, but on what I have done. Those who have had business with the railroad commission will testify that I have ever been ready to discharge the duties of my office fear- ' lessly, impartially, and to the best interests of the people of South Carolina, and that I have always been courteous to those desiring informaiton and relief. I am the only railroad commissioner who has moved to Columbia to be in daily touch with the work of the office. During my term of office I have inspected personally every line of railroad in the State, often walking cross-ties that T might be assured that the condition of the roadbeds and trestles was safe. I have been often in every county in South Carolina, looking into the conditions of the station, and improving the conveniences of the traveling public. I have stood for lower freight and. passenger rates, holler schedules, and safer modes of travel. The handsome majority you gave me formerly lias always been appreciated, and has been an incentive to a faithful performance of my duties. I hope lo have your support in the coming election, and shall shfive to ever render you faithful service. Respect fully, Banks L. Canghman. BARBECUE NOTICE.
