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.

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?

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.

"it is said" he should produce it. 1
There were several Felder letters dug 4

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

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. WJ i> iii iiiW!, 1-" ~
lemand and present the strongest man
:hen she may go "before the country
md ask his election.
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.

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
