1 .J. Entered at the Postoffice 4 v'--v berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H.. AULL, EDITOR. ?.... ? ' Tuesday, March 12, 1912. Our sympathy goes out to the Union I < Timps in the loss of its building and plant by fire. The paper comes right along. ?* Solicitor J. C. Otts is quoted as saving that the Jones people are laying low, sawing wood and saying nothing, j If that be true the papers are fear- | ^ fullv misrepresenting them and Judge Jones as well. ! i The legislative-dispensary-winding- ( up-investigating committee extends a 1 f general and cordial invitation to everybody to come forward and 'fess up. 1 It wil save time and expense. Col. i Felder lias been given a special invitation. Will he come? ^ c If Mr. Patton has evidence as to the 1 r authorship of the threatening letter postmarked at Newberry he should!* produce it. "It is said," he says that 1 Gov. Blease wrote it. "It is said" is i1 a vtery irresponsible person. It is akin to "they say." j( This talk about Blease not being fit < to "brush the shoes" of some people 1 is fine vote-making stuff?for Blease. ?Spartanburg Journal. There is a grain of truth in this, j This about expresses the estimate of the evidence gathered by the investigating committee up to the present j writing. I: " j: We do not recall it, but we are told, ( that it was stated in The Herald and News that Major L. W. C. Blalock, chairman of the "lilly white" republican party in this State, had made overtures to the Tolbert faction. If it was so stated it' was a mistake. On . the contrary the overtures came from the other side. iiMTIH" ! ; A fine time now to get in some good ; < and effective work with the split log drag. This simple and inexpensive device for road working was never more needed than at present. A cou* pie of days this week throughout the ? ? ^ ? /? T r\i- rv-P rt'AA/l 4- r\ A couiity win uu a |UL ui guuu LU roads, 'and they were never in worse condition and in more need of attention. I 1 I v " j < Avery Patten swore he received a threatening letter from Newberry. And a letter from Felder was alleged ^ to have been dug up in the same city. ?Anderson Mail. The Patton letter was postmarked at iWWUWi). iuu iviiu\>, a iui ui j^cu I pie come to Newberry, .and the fact ' < of being postmarked Newberry is not ' conclusive it was written by a New! , berry man. Mr. Patton says "it is said" it was written by Gov. Blease. ] If he has the evidence to substantiate { "it is said" he should produce it. 1 There were several Felder letters dug 4 up in Newberry. Not only "alleged" but actually produced. ; t , ji i The dispensary winding-up-investi- r gating-committee appointed by the legislature is meeting once a week to, s ; + -wind up the dispensary affairs. At the , !1 meeting last week the members of the t Ansel commission, as they term them- g selves, were sworn and examined, t They abused Gov. Blease and proved I by their own testimony that they had a r done nothing wrong but had given the . J I Srat-e faithful service, and we think c every one knew and believed that be- 1 fore they were investigated. Certainly the investigators could not have hoped | to prove anytnmg else Dy tnem. Gen. i Lyon and Mr. Stevenson also testified that they had only done their duty. s i i i Down at Hampton when somebody ? hollered "hurrah for Blease" Judge ? .Tones is quoted as replying: "Hurrah for civilization, hurrah for purity, hur- ' c rah for law and order. Down with ' t you anarchists." Surely he did not mean to say that every one who was j not for him was uncivilized, impure and lawless and an anarchist. It is \ already getting quite the thing now to refer to those who are not hurrahing for Judge Jones as the "lawless element," the "blind tiger element," "the cotton mill vote" and other things that are meant to be offensive. We have seen the time in this county when all the candidates about election season went a hunting for the cotton mill vote and were glad to get it. There may be a difference this fear. We do not know. We shall see. RURAL POLICEMEN. The two rural policemen, Messrs. T. x. Williams and 0. H. Peterson, who svere appointed by Sheriff Buford un ier a recent act of the legislature, filtheir bonds and began their duties Dn Monday. These young men will nake efficient officers, and will, as ar as it is possible, see that the law s enforced in the rural districts. The editor of The Herald and News ecalls with some gratification the act tiiat he proposed the first generil rural police bill that was introduced n the South Carolina legislature, rhat was some eight years ago. We lave always been of the opinion that hp ruwnlo w-hn livo in ThA rural dis *- v xict needed police protection, and, svhile two officers can not cover the :ounty as thoroughly as it should be covered, the very fact that they are on 3uty and no one knows just where they are will have a deterrent effect upon those inclined to commit crime. WHY NOT A SOUTHERN MAN? The fn'ends of Oscar W. Underwood, the Democratic leader in congress, are making 3, vigorous fight for his nomination for the presidency 011 the Democratic ticket. He is from Alaoama a,nd has been in congress about six teen years. He is recognized as one of the ablest members of congress in either branch and withal a very level headed man. In fact he is a constructive statesman. When you mention a Southern man * the answer is that the time has not yet come when a man from the South can be elected. Mr. H. B. Varner, editor of the Lexington (X. C.) Dispatch, who has just returned from a trip through the North and East, has the following to say on the subject of a Southern man and his chances for eiecuon: "New York is practically solid for Representative Underwood for the democratic nomination for the presidency, and if the South will show the Xorth that they really want a southern man nominated, there is little doubt in my mind that the Empire State will send an Underwood delegation to Baltimore/' It is certainly time for the South and the Xorth to be rid of sectionalism and for the country to look around tor the biggest man for the position, rhere is need for statesmanship and ' P +Vi/-> /I/-t-rv-iftnMfic> nor+TT Trill moof thp LI I. lie U^7iin_/V-1 U.

On this subject the Atlanta Constitu.ion has the following to say, and it s well said. If we want the North to 'ally to us we must not be afraid to ! ally to ourselves: "T>-UCmirti Aonnnr in common JL JJLK5 W-7WU.UXA V?uuvw) AU ;ense, expect the North to rally to; he condidacies of Southern men so ong as the South itself repudiates hem. The people of this section must! jive unequivocal evidence of their sen- j i iment. They must show beyond dis- j >ute, that they no longer buck and shy ! it the specter of sectionalism. They' nust show that having, for fifty years, urnished the life-blood for the demo:ratic party, they will no longer be :ept in the kitchen by the old, explodid civil war argument." The Constitution very truly remarks i hat if fifty years has not lifted the j imbargo fifty centuries will not be sufficient. A vigorous campaign is bjng waged in Georgia for Underwood, md there is considerable Underwood >entiment in South Carolina and there vould be more if the people would dis- : ibuse th-eir minds of the ghost that a southern man cannot be elected.

Aiken, March. 10.?Windsor, in this county, was the scene of a bloody battle last night, in which Hanford Cushnian was killed and three others were severely wounded by the town officers, and John Cleckley, chief 01 police, sustained more or less serious injuries. Cleckley adn his assistant, L. B. Johnson, aie in the Aiken county jail and John DuBose, Smiley Randall and Jet Atkinson are held in the Windsor lockup. Tlio fn in roil X Aiv AMJ UA V?# The injured are Aleck Xun, shot in the arm; George Weather ford, shot in the leg; Sweet Cushman, brother of the dead man, shot through the hand. The tight, which was general, seems to have grown out of an attempt to intimidate the officer, John Cleckley, who was formerly a member of the police force in Aiken, and for the past year, since Windsor was incorporated and a branch dispensary located there, has bean town marshal of Windsor. Threats have been made^ it is alleged, to drive him away from the town because of his activity in maintaining law and order, and last night the trouble began when, between 8 and 9 o'clock, the officer heard a shot fired in Jet Atkinson's butcher shop TOWN AND TOWNSHIP BOARDS OF; ASSESSORS FOR 1911 AND 1912. j 1 .
