South Carolina during the next term o$ j

fcnore it will have been argued in all i
the forty and four counties of the I
^State and on the 27th inst. a verdict j
Kill be reached. During the weeks j
|^ha.t the trial has been in progress the j
i
newspapers have used barrels of ink !
j
and the scribes have worn out cords!

of pencils. Tne arguments ot me tuu- I
testants so far have related almost ex- J
clusively to their past records and but
little prominence given to policies,}
principles and plans for the future betterment
of the commonwealth and the ;
weal of its people.
As one of the jurors to pass upon the i
fcmtention of the rival candidates we j
^cesire to suggest to the thousands of!
South Carolina Democrats a thoi-gh: i
that may assist them in keeping cool j
and help them individually and collec-!
tiveiv to arrive at a fair and just ver-?
diet. The bitterness of the campaign;
between Messrs. Blease and Jones has
k been increased and emphasized by the
Atact that they were once and for years
j^riends, political co-partners, so to!
speak, but no longer dors the Damon
and Pythias relatipn obtain and con-!
Unue between them. . A brief review!
of their careers will make plain the j
peculiarities and resemblances of their 1
I
characters and reveal the cause of
11: onr] 9nart
Lucir iamiig uui auu ^
Commencing his life labors as a
helper in his father's livery stable
young Blease probably received in
those initial years of toil the bent of
mind and disposition that has made it
sefond nature in him to stick to his
friends and to swat his enemies.!
Probably the "little lord Fauntleroys"I
of Xewberry did not become chummy j
with the youthful worker and many a j
physical encounter may have hardened
his heart and fists and given him con...
fidence in the strength ot nis arms ana
the accuracy of his eye in aiming i
blows of offence and defence. His life
from those days has been one of con- ;
*et^>t and continuing contests, in the
" courts and in the political arena.
He steadily advanced toward the !
goal that his dving father had often |
i
pelted out to his young ambition?'
the governorship of South Carolina? ,
gaining self confidence with every vie- i
tory won and with every backset re- |
newing his resolution.
In their freshman years of the poli- j
tic-al course Mr. Blease was the friend j
J - J -v? Vf*. T ^
ana am waie ui ivn. ouuco, uug
him first for associate and afterward
for chief justice.
Ira B. Jones has had since he laid
aside the rod of the schoolmaster, a
palace car ride through life. Defeat
has never delayed his upward rise or
brought a care to his brain or heart.
As speaker of the house of represen- j
tatives, as a power in the constitu+''*"'>1
nnnxmnfinn Oc on fin thp I
uuuai v/uiit^uuuiij ao an viuviv uu - I
supreme court bench, where he was
so long and bo respectfully addressed
as his honor and his decisions were
accepted as completely final, he, as
was natural, accumulated a wealth of
self appreciation beyond all ordinary
human contemplation. When his ambition
and sense of duty as he saw it
came in conflict with those of the
present governor the friendship that
had pxisted peased and a chasm creat
ed that oniy long time can bridge.
That Governor Blease has as supreme
confidence in his wisdom as j
Judge Jones holds in his has been evi- j
denced through his administration by !
his differences with other State officials,
by the vetoes with which he has
opposed legislative action and by the
reversals of the findings of the circuit
courts in the hundreds of cases in
which convicts have been pardoned or |
paroled and the faith he reposes in the |
excellence of his supporters.
While Governor Blease was fighting,
his way to the front and up the scaling
ladder against old traditions, neither
asking nor giving quarter, Judge Jones
was a student, an expounder, an apostle
of the law, a disciple of precedent,
a prophet of the coming of anarchy
as the ultimatum of .the course and
convictions cf Governor Please if unchecked.
So the scholar felt called to
lav nff tha ?r>wr? nf .Tndep and enter I
the political ring for a fight to the fin- j
i6h with his former friend.
The conflict to date has had no pa-1
rallel in American political warfare,
so far as our reading and remembrance
recall. Governor Blease has demonstrated
himself to be a politician of
transcendent ability as an organizing
strategist, an antagonist as adroit in
making ieints as skiiiiui m presenting
facts. He sees men with X-ray eyes j
and is as quick as lightning to detect a
weak or missing or unguarded link in
the armor of an adversary's argument
and as merciless as the irate Jove of
the ancients in hurling a hot thunderbolt
of words in defiance of assertion,
or unfriendly suggestion He is an
artist in the magnifying of little things
and a master in the avoidance of per
plexities. Few, if any, such figures
have trod the American stage. What
a resourceful partisan leader he would
have made in colonial wars! He
fights in sympathy with the world
standard that all is fair in love and
war and politics, that nothing succeeds
like success and that the end justifies
the mean6.
There have been changes in cam
paign methods and morals since Judge
Jones was a candidate for the house
of representatives. Whether this educative
progress has been for the betterment
of the party and the 'people is !
i
a question on-which opinions will differ.
We express none, but it Is an existing
fact that has been to the disadvantage
of Judge Jones. Knowing
the tactics and twining of a score of
years. ago he has entered the ring to
combat with one who has been in constant
training. The poise of the court
room has not appealed to the spirit of
the younger times. Like a pugilist
long retired he has returned and that
he has maintained himself as well as
he has done is creditable to his courage.
Like a commander in a new and
unmapped region he has advanced ms
attacks and made his defences on fields
of his antagonist's choosing. His
scouts have not always brought him
the best information and his aides
have sometimes lost their ways and
have been hindrances instead of helps.
It may be that he has reserved his j
greatest strength for the last days of
the campaign in the Piedmont counties
which are the citadels where the ma
joritv of the Democrats of the State
hold the fort. The same purpose and
plan may be in the quiver of Governor
Blease, but until the final meeting is
adjourned fair judgment of the powers
of the rivals can not be entered.
NO REASON FOR IT.
Ton Are Shown a Way Out.
There can be no reason why anyj
reader of this who suffers the tortures j
of an aching back, ihn annoyance of!
urinary disorders, the pains and dan- j
?ers of kidney ills will fail to heed the
word of a residerit 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 j

scarcely get about. The kidney secre- j
tions were unnatural and annoyed ine
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 J
of ever being cured when my son-inlaw
procured a supply of Doan's Kidney
Pills for me at W. E. Pelham &
Son's drug store. He had read that j
they were good for kidney trouble and |
? - ? 5!. J I
induced me to try tnem. i aia so aim \
after I had taken the contents of two i
boxes my backache had disappeared
and my kidneys had been restored to
their normal condition. T have recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills to many
of my friends and shall continue to
do so."
