Friday, June 21, 1912# County Chairman Dominick calls a meeting of the executive committee for July 6. It is important that all of the members be present at this meeting, and they are requested also to come prepared to name the managers, and no doubt the campaign for the county will be mapped out at this meeting so as to avoid another meet ing. The Herald and News prints today the opening speech of Governor Blease at Sumter, setting forth his platform, and in the same connection the platform of Judge Ira B. Jones, also a candidate for governor. It is the purpose of The Herald and News to give in its news columns both sides in this gubernatorial fight, and to deal absolutely fair with all candidates. \ i As the Daily Mail predicted, John P. Grace's charges of graft against Blease were largely suspicions which should never have been noticed.?Anderson Mail. It would seem that some of the "black-type editorial writers on this subject are getting a little weary of their job. \ They are much more mild, and apologetic just a little. Read editorial in State of Thursday. It is reported that Col. V. B. Ches- j hire, editor of the Anderson Intelligencer, has resigned from Gov. Blease's staff. If the editor of the Newberry Herald and News should resign Aull would be gone.?Easley Progress. Puns on words is not a high order of humor, but in this case you have your facts a little mixed. The editor of The Herald and News is not on Gov. Blease's staff. We are sorry Editor Aull of the Newberry Herald and News didn't, attend the press meeting. It might have helped him.?Greenville Piedmont. We are sorry also that we were not at the press meeting, but we could not be at two places at the same time. We feel the need of friendly, sympathetic help at all times and always gladly receive it. Then we might havp hppn some helD to the brethren. We always prefer to give, for in the giving we are also made better. Prof. W. K. Tate is to lecture at Chappells school house on Saturday, June 29. We have heard Prof. Tate lecture and we know of his enthusiasn and interest for the betterment of the rural schools, and we desire to urge every citizen of that community to be present. We can assure you that there is a treat in store for you and we are satisfied that it will do the entire community good to have Prof. Tate speak, and we are urging everybody to attend because we know something of Prof. Tate as a talker on the school citnatinn in Smith Pflrnliri? rVr' " 1^1 : ENTIRELY PERTINENT, This most truthful observation is taken from the editorial columns of Anr /i/Mitomnnra rv at VdU'hprrv Tho I Herald and News: * "There are too many charges in South Carolina without any proof. There ought to be some way to put a stop to them unless the proof is given along with them." One would almost be led to believe that The Herald and News had been reading an advance copy of the speech which Governor Blease delivered in Sumter yesterday and which we publicVi in full plice-whorf* trulav Vowe and Courier. We do not exactly see what "this most truthful observation" has to do with reading an advance copy of Gov. Blease s Sumter speech. As a matter of fact the editor of The Herald and News never read Gov. Blease's speech until yesterday, and we suppose the editor of the News and Courier read it 4.U ^4 VJCIUI C lUdt. Wonder if the Bamberg Herald had also been ' reading an advance copy of the speech." Listen: "We have had entirely too much of unfounded ru mors and wild insinuations in connection with this dispensary business." CHARLESTON AND THE BLIND TIGERS. Mayor Grace's testimony given before the investigating committee of the legislature seems to be directed against the constables in Charleston. We would judge from the testimony ~ i-- ;- o I given by Mayor lirace mai ut: juot <? little bit sore because he was not consulted about the appointments of the constables. We hope, however, that iti- tn with his willine liliS JLICW3 llVlUiiig lv uv ?w ness to testify before the committee in regard to graft, which he claims has been forced from liquor dealers. Another phase of this question, it seems to us. is that as mayor of Charleston, it would be proper for Mr. Grace to state what efforts are being made by the local authority to subdue blind tigers, and whether they still re quire each blind tiger to pay a regular monthly stipend into the city treasury to secure immunity, which it was claimed was observed a few years ago. One of the witnesses in this investigation testified something like this: "That somebody told him that some body else told him that he had heard somebody say something." That is very competent testimony. Any one who has been to Charleston does not need to be told that whist key is illegally sold there, and this state of aifairs has existed with uninterrupted continuity from the very be) * ' ^ *-1 InTTT in Smith ( ginning Ul tut: uiaymioai v jan m Carolina. It has also been the impression on the minds of many people that , constables under all of the governors, i in more or less degree, have received graft. Whether it is true or not, of course, we do not know. The main effort in this investigation would ap- > pear to be to connect in some wayGovernor Blease with the receipt of this graft. So far no testimony has been produced showing that he is connpot.ed with it. You have the testimony from many pf the blind tigers themselves that they^re engaged in the illegal sale of whiskey. Why not close them up on their own testimony? >~ews of Bachman Chapel. Slighs, June 19.?In answer to a request made by several of the ladies of the Missionary society of Colony Evangelical Lutheran church, Mr. Editor, please allow me the privilege of expressing some parting words of remembrance in behalf of the love and respect which we hold in our memories. The dear sister in mention was faithful 5nd devoted not only to mis , sionary work, but to tne entire worK of the church. On the 13th of last January God saw fit in his wise providence to remove from earth the soul of Mrs. Mary Griffin and unite it with that upper and better world where I therp are no sorrows and afflictions. She was in the 76th year of her age. i Sixty years of her life was spent as a | faithful member to Colony church. In _ regard to her church lite, it can De truthfully said that only providential hinderances caused her seat to be vacant during service. She always showed a disposition of kindness, love, patience, cheerfulness and benevolence. To the husband and daughter: To know that she is free from worldly cares and disappointments and is now enjoying that eternal sweet rest should comfort you. Hr A T Rowprs rvf Npwhcrrv will preach at Colony next Sunday morning in absence of the pastor. You can depend on hearing a good sermon when Dr. Bowers .delivers it. Rev. Shealy will begin as pastor for the Beth Eden pastorate now shortly. He is expected to preach at Colony on the second Sunday in next month. He doesn't come to Colony a stranger, having preached as a supply a time or so. We welcome him in our midst. This begins to seem like real summer time weather, and the crops are brightening up from its effect. The cold spell a few weeks ago injured the cotton considerably. Mr. and Mrs. Crenshaw Halfacre, of near uoiony, spent last sunuay at me home of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. Levi Gruber, of the St. Paul's section, visited Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Long and family a portion of last wppk This is a "sure enough" busy time with the farmer. With harvest week and also several wet days has thrown heaps of work on us at once. Though with good ?* I health and favorable weather we hope to pull through 0. K. NOTICE MEETING COUNTY DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COM MITTEE.
