CANSLER OF TURZAH.
The columns of The Herald and
News are always open to those who
desire to make legitimate reply to
editorial or other matter appearing
in this newspaper. In the Observer
of Friday there is an unsigned article
in reply to an editorial in The Herald
and News on the railroad commis
sioner's race, in which, in the inter
ests of South Carolina, we urged the
people to vote for McDuffie Hampton
as against Cansler of Tirzah. The Ob
ser'ver, in carrying the unsigned arti
cle, says that it is written by one of
the best women of Newberry county,
who does not care to have her name
appear in connection with a political
contest, and yet wishes to do justice
to one who, she thinks, has not been!
treated fairly. The Observer goes on
to say that it "vouches for the genu
ineness and good faith of the letter,
and departs, in this case, because the
writer is a woman, from its rule of
requiring articles in behalf of candi
dates to be signed."
For the same reason we depart from
our rule against answering anony
mous communications, and desire to
submit the following from the Fort
Mill Times, publi4hed in Catnsler's
home county, for the benefit of Mr.
Cansler's defender:
"In the primary election last Tues
day James Cansler received 40-odd
thousand votes and will therefore go
in the second primary with McDuffie
Hampton. Hampton should be elect
ed. Not one in fifty of the men who
vted for Cansler will seriously con
t'end that he possesses the qualifica
tions necessary to discharge, the du
ties of the office. Here in York coun
ty where we know Cansler and have
known him as a chronic office-seeker
for the last quarter of a century and
are able to appraise him at his true
worth, it is little short of astounding
that he should receive 2,143 votes out
of a total of 3,500. There is not an
office in York county for which the
people have so little respect that they!
would elect Cansler to it. For one
term, 20-odd years ago, he was elect
ed county superintendent of educa
tion. More than once- he was a cetn
didate for re-election, but never got
the office a second time. Why? Be
cause it took the people of th0 county
just two years to learn that he was!
neither temperamentally nor intellec
tually qualified for the position. Then,
why try to saddle upon the State, in
a more important office, one we have
tried locally and found wanting?
There is no argument to justify the
election of Cansler. He should be de
feated by such a decisive vote that
even he will know, once and for all
time, that the people have no confi
dence in him and are heartily sick of
his vulgarity and buffoonery. The idea
that Cansler could do anything for
the people of South Carolina in the
office of railroad commissioner is so
utterly absurd that it is worse than
silly."
JAMES T. BACON(.
Today, September 8, is the first an
niversary of the death of Col. James
T. Bacon. Time is a great healer, and
often masters grief, but there has nev
er been a moment since he left us
that we have not mourned his depar
ture, and missed his genial presence
and helpful hand. True, his white'
soul has taken its flight beyond the
stars, and now dwells in the heavenly
country, yet even with that, the mem
ory of him remains, never to be ef
faced. He was too near to the hearts
of his people ever to be forgotten. The
influence of his life work here, so full
of gentieness, charity, sweetness and
greatness, will ever remain with us.
It calls us to higher deeds and pur
poses.-Edgefield Chronicle.
Col. Bacon has not only been miss
11 by his family circle and by the
sewspaper which he edited so ably,
but his absence is felt throughout
South Carolina and in distant parts
in fact, wherever his wide circle of
acquaintance and friendship and fame
as a wri:er and as a courteous, gentle
gentleman of the old Southern school
extended.
He held an unique place in the
ne*wspaper profession. He was past
master in a school of journalism which
has wel-nigh vanished. His person

New Idea Woman's Mfagazine for Oc
tober.
One of the best of the fall magazines
is the New Idea Woman's Magazine
for October. Of especial interest to
women are the four leading articles.
"The Fashionable Tomboy" Is an In
teresting and vivacio'us study of
Eleanora Sears of Boston. "The Queen
of England" is a delightful article
about Queen Mary, taking her up In
her many varied sides. "The House
Without a Chimney" tells of the won-.
ders that have been worked in the
kitchen, with a prophecy of how
housekeeping will be conducted In the
future. "How the Municipality Helps
the Housewife" Is a study of the ways
the city can assist the wife. No one
should miss it.
Three stories make it a lively num
ber. The serial, "The Carved Door,"
grows more breathless with r;is issue
than ever.
There are Hallowe'en articles and
materials for young and old. The
fashions are carefully done with a
tone of authority that is good to read.
The whole number is an exceptionally
good one-both entertaining and sat
