*** mi j&fts* ?<*r* cc * Entered at the Postoffice at V^wlerry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, ED1TUK. Tuesday, August 6, 1912. Only three more weeks and most of the political tale will have been told. One week from today the State campaign meeting will be held in the best county in- South Carolina. If this strenuous campaign keeps up much longer, we wouldn't be surprised to see Colonel Roosevelt come down and demand to enter. ? ^? The supervisor has given notice that the roads must 1 e put in shape by the time stated in the notice. Don't forget the splitlog drag. We can't see any objection in the State executive committee's furnishing anybody as many tickets as he wants, if he is welling to pay for them. Some of the Newberry streets afford some mighty good grazing for stock. .This would be a fine time to trot out tbrw great hnVaiie. What has become of The Idler, anyway? If the State candidates could get as fine barbecue dinners every campaign day as the Newberry cou.ity candidates get at every meeting, maybe they "VNOuld all be in better humor. { The State campaign opened up again at Camden yesterday, and there is a meeting scheduled for every day this week. Judge Jones' home will be visit ed by the candidates today. \ "It is pretty rotten," Eugene H. Grace is quoted as saying. If he refers to the entire Grace procedure, he has it down about right.?Augusta Chronicle. Both in Georgia and South Carolina. Those ancient eggs pitched at Grace in Spartanburg on Saturday night could not have been as nauseating as the filth which Grace, with the aid of the newspapers, turned loose upon the people of South C?rolina. We note that over in Gaffney they met John P. Grace with a brass band, j Probably had the band on hand to drown out portions of tlie Grace speech if it should become too nauseating? a sort of expurgator, as it were. The Florence Times seems to be 1? boring under its se?f-appointed task of saving the State and the nation. The trouble with t.ie T>mes ?? that it seems ' to be angry with everybody who does not agree with it. It is a pity everything doesn't go to suit the Times. Wouldn't it be most remarkable and wonderful if 95 per cent, of the newspapers should be wrong and one per cent, of them right??Newberry Observer. Is our cotemporary speaking of the matter of exchanging advertising for railroad transportation? Governor Woodrow Wilson has determined that he will not resign the office of governor of New Jersey on account of his nomination for the presi dencv. Xo good Democrat ever resigns anything. It is against the fundamental principles of the party. Still more politics. Col. Roosevelt's new party meets in Chicago this week to ratify the Colonel's nomination of himself for president, to choose a running mate for the Colonel, and to take euch other action as may seem wise and just and proper to the Colonel. It is reported that the dispensary committee may meet in Augusta or Charlotte this week. It strikes us it would suit Felders convenience better if the committee should go to Atlanta. Why cause Felder tli" inconvenience of a trip from Atlanta to Augusta or from Atlanta to Charlotte? The committee ought to have a more tender regard for Felder's feelings than it seems to b,v showing. r The Herald and News has been asked by a number of people how long one must have been a resident of the State and the county in order to vote nniwtow Tho rnloc nf thp nartv 1U Hie pi una.i J . x n\. ?

XEWSPAPEK PRAYEKS. Every now and then we see published in a newspaper a prayer, written for publication, dealing with political conditions in South Carolina. To these fellows who are doing so much praying in the newspapers, we earnestly commend the words of the Master: "And when thou prayest, thou shalt I not be as the hypocrites are: tor tney love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions; as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be ye not j therefore like unto them: for your ! Father knoweth what things ye have i need of, before ye ask him." SEEIXi "THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY." In a style characteristic of the opponents of the governor, the Greenville Xews takes to task the Rev. Dr. J. A. Sligh upon his remarks at Pomaria introducing Governor Blease. Says the Greenville News: "And again Rev. Mr. Sligh says, "If I were a candidate for the legislature and should be elected and find that I 'o;;ld not work with the governor on account of prejudice against him, or enmity to him, I would resign and come home and say to the people "elect somebody else." In other words he thinks the legislature should be a tool of the governor, that those "members who oppose the chief executive ^tep down and out and clear the way for the absolute rule of the chief executive. It strikes us that a legislature of this kind, without a mind of its own, would be little better than no legislature at all." By reading Dr. Sligh's remarks, quoted by the News in the above paragraph, it will be seen that Dr. Sligh said no such thine as the News mits into his mouth. What Dr. Sligh said, as quoted by the News, was that if he i could not work with the governor on account of prejudice against him, or enmity to him, he would resign and come home. By no process of legitimate construction or analysis could Dr. Sligh's remarks be twisted into the language which the Greenville News says "in other words he thinks." What Dr. Sligh said speaks for itself. What the News puts into his mouth was probably as far. from Dr. Sligh's thoughts as what he said was from the misconstruction which the News places upon it. The News concludes its belabored criticism of Dr. Sligh as follows: "The mission of a minister is tc teach, uplift and lead the people anc surely Mr. Sligh, who was for 47 years flip nastnr of the> St PauTc rhnrrth ! near Pomaria, has not thought ade! quately of the road upon which he is i endeavoring to lead others. Public opinion as expressed by the representative, professional, educated, business and journalistic world, not only of this State, but of the entire country, does not in concert condemn a man without cause." Dr. Sligh's life of service to his fel:1aw man no defence at our ! hands. The trouble with the News is j that in this paragraph it has followed the lead of others who are fighting Governor Blease, and has arrogated to itself and the other opponents of the ! governor all education, all purity of i - thought and word ana aeea, an uprightness of life, all morality, all righteousness and all truth. Based upon these premises, the News' conclusion falls because its premises are ! f erroneous. I)r. Sligh himself has some I of the qualities which the Xews seems | to think it and its friends in the fight have secured a monopoly of. We have no doubt that a great many others I could be found out of the majority of l I the voters of South Carolina who are 1 i supporting Governor Blease. Dr. Sligh's life, his character, his services, and the love and respect in which he is held by the many he has served, are a complete defence against any attacks which may be directed at him. If the mental vision or tne ;\ewe were as unclouded as is that of Dr. Sligh it could penetrate the cloak of self-righteousness which the opponents of Bl^ase have wrapped around them, and it would be in great deal better position to pass judgment upon the thoughts and motives of the people of South Carolina. The Herald and News also has some j campaign poetry, which it will spring ' i upon an unsuspecting publiq at the j i i phvchological moment. ! ? ! ? | THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER IN DEFENCE OF BLEASE I I 1 I Charlotte Observer. There is a political campaign go! ing on down in South Carolina which is more or less characteristic of that State. The candidates before the pri- ; mary for Governor are Hon. Ira B. I Jones and Hon. Cole L. Blease. Mr. j Jones represents the conservative ele- ; ment, while fMr. Blease is not only1 I j * i j u! .i* i ml. - i radical out seems uura-raaicai. ine campaign is being conducted upon a : plane of vituperation and recrimiua- | 'tion-. Fire is added to this guber! natorial contest by the winding up ; | of the dispensary and liquor business. . i One Tom B. Felder of Atlanta seems i jto have been in^the past an attorney; !and agent for the liquor interests, land, in retaliation for some things I that Blease has done, he seems determined to ruin Blease if possible. He j seems now to be himself at outs with the liquor men, as well as in a tangle with Governor Blease. Because of Governor Blease's claim that he will put him in jail if he comes into South Carolina, Felder does not or cannot | go into that State. The dispensary j winding-up board lately held a meet jing in Augusta, so that Felder could be present to give his testimony. He promised great exposures and had one or more detectives, but no important results ensued. His backing j is a mighty poor backing, being a ! V combination of the liquor interests | land professional detectives. I On the other hand, Mr. Blease is i I j charged with pardoning too many j ! criminals, and this seems to be true, j i From time to time whispers are heard ' | that Blease has or may have received j j money for some of his pardons. We have no idea that this latter is true, and whenever this subject is pushed to the wall there is no foundation found for it as yet. We have no doubt that lawyers have prepared papers in pardon cases and received fees for same, and perhaps in some 'cases claimed a connection with Blease, but this is a very different j thing from the Governor's taking a bribe. It is understood that Mr. B. L. Abney, who is a cousin of Mr. Blease, has been his private and legal adviser throughout his administration. Mr. Abney is knoyn as one of the best lawyers in the State and is a man of integrity. It was always charged that Tillman's majorities were largely due 1 to persistent prejudices expressed by the conservative element of the State. ; The same thing is said of the present campaign, and it may be true. Mr. Jones, who is Blease's opponent for Governor, seems to be a good conservative, but the abuse Blease is receiv1 i ing from the conservatives will pro^' bably drive many a vote to him on election day. >0 REASON FOR IT. Tou Are Shown a Way Out. There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tortures of an aching back, ihe annoyance of urinary disorders, the pains and dangers of kidney ills will fail to heed the word of a resident of this locality who has found relief. The following is convincing proof. ; Mrs. J. M. Wheeler, Prosperity, S. Car., says: "My kidneys were disordered for a long time, causing terrible pains through my loins and limbs. There was also a constant ache in my back and on some occasions I could j scarcely get about. The kidney secre- j tions were unnatural and annoyed me greatly. I consulted several physicians and tried a number of kidney remedies, but did not improve in the least. I had about given up the hope [of ever being cured when my son-in law procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills for me at \V. E. Pelham &. Son's drug store. He had read that they were good for kidney trouble and induced me to try them. I did so and after I had taken the contents of two hnye?? mv backache had disappeared and my kidneys had been restored to their normal condition. I have recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to many of my friends and shall continue to do so." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
