It is a good plan to disbelieve all new reports you hear about candidates from now until the primary. There would be no time now to run down the meanest kind of a report about a candidate, and therefore they should not be believed.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. There is good advice contained in thig paragraph. We believe, however, XI. the time has passed in ssoum Carolina when eleventh-hour reports agaitfst candidates hurt those against whom they are circulated. Let's watch and see against whom the "new reports'' from now on are directed. Two years agao they were directed. Two years ago they were direct?f the people who have been bitterly j fighting him fever siiice. ' j We are publishing today by request o 11 nidation from a i)l tIIC clUUiv/J. a veteran commenting upon matters at the Soldiers' Home in Columbia. The Herald and News has published none of these reports because we have taken no stock in the charges that there has been any effort to coerce the old soldiers, or that the old soldiers could foe coerced. This communication appeared in the last issue of the Observer and the author requests The Her24 ?J aid and .News to puunsu it auu ocuu bill to him. Were ft a matter which had had any publicty in The Herald and News it would be a communication, to be published without charge. But inasmuch as it deals with charges none of which have been published in The Herald and News, for the reason stated, it is legitimately an advertisement, and is published and marked as euch. KISD WORDS. We have received from a "gentleman | in another county a letter which is deeply appreciated, not only because of the kindly sentiments it expresses, ;but because they come from the heart of a gentleman whose integrity of character and whose upright and I sympathetic life among his fellows j (have won for him the confidence and the highest esteem of all those who know him. He says, in part in his letter: "The manly way in which you gentlemen have stood up.in your paper for Gov. Blease against such heavy newspaper odds commands my most profound re spect and admiration; and also the Tv-ant of such bitterness in your articles as has done the other side harm." In the kind of campaign which has been forced upon us this year, such expressions as these, coming from the % gentleman who gives utterance to them, bring a great deal of cheer, and The Herald and News shall continue to strive to be worthy of them. THE STATE CAMPAIGN. * ' * At The regular itinerary 01 uie ouue campaign party was concluded yesterday in Greenville, and the campaign is row near to its close. We trust that in this campaign we will be free from j the eleventh-hour reports which have characterized some South Carolina campaigns in the past. We do not believe the people of South Caroling can be influenced by such campaign meth1 cds, knowing the history of past campaigns a"s they do; but it is well to caution against them. We believe Newberry county is going to give a big majority for Governor Blease, whose home is in Newberry, and we believe that he is going to be re-elected by a big majority. No matter who is elected in any race, we trust that the primary of next Tuesday \Vill end the bitterness which the cam pa 10'n nas engendered; max the' people who have drawn apart during the campaign \\Iil get together i again, each giving the other credit for purity of motive, and that political peace may once again abide with the State. ISSli: \0 MOKE "BLEVSEISM" ' THAN JO\ESIS.II." i < I The Yorkville Enquirer, which has been taking a middle-of-the-road course during this campaign, but which has exhibited an admirable fairness, which, by the way, has never been foreign to the Enquirer, has an editorial in its last issue on "The Issue," in the course of which it says: "As to what the real issue is, most people understand better than we can tell them, and we do not care to try because it will give too much ground for profitless dispute. But we do not agree that the issue is any more Bleaseism than it is Jonesism, and we do not believe that the personal char^ | acters of the two men figure in the j slightest. We believe that if something should happen right now to make Blease the leader of the Jones following and Jones the leader of the Blease following, the strength of Jones would become the strength of Blease and the strength of Blease would become the strength of Jones Of course such a happening is impossible; but the illustration is apt enough. "We have said before and we do not hesitate tn snv it asrain that on the BJease side are men who are as ?bod and true as any on the Jones side, and there 'are men on the Jones side who are as good and true as any on the Blease side. And all the wealth and intelligence or righteousness is not on one side. The principal difference between the two sides is political rather than moral and the great issue at stake is power and authority?the control of the government." The course of the Yorkville Enquirer has called forth broadsides from the Columbia State and some of the coun ty papers, which seem to think that a man or a newspaper has gone absolutely and irrevocably to the bad if he or it does not line up against Governor Blease and what they are pleased to term "Bleaseism." The Enquirer, however, has been taking care of itself, and in the editorial we have referred to and quoted from it states forcibly some truths which some of the opponents of Governor Blease, in arrogating to themselves all morality and all righeousftess, have completely overlooked, but which will count heavily when the ballots fall on next Tues1 day. Who is responsible for the bitterness of this campaign? It is those who have directed and sanctioned all kinds of vile attacks upon Governor Blease, without a scintilla of proof, and have j called his supporters all kinds of, i names, or is it those who have sought j to defend the man of their choice, at the same time admitting that those who do not agree with them on politics are entitled to their opinions and to the freedom of ballot guaranteed by the fundamental law of the land? ? There are many good men supporting Judge Jones, and there are many good men supporting Governor Blease, and the sooner all the people realize that all virtue and all principle is noti 011 one side, the better for South Carolina. We believe Governor Blease is going to be re-elected next Tuesday by a big! majority, and we believe the size of the I majority will . be a sufficient rebuke to some of the attacks which have been made upon Governor Blease and those who are supporting him, as they have a right to do. f We do not want to be understood as charging that aH the supporters of and done in this campaign, and we are donp in thic oamnaien. and \vp are making no charges against Judge' Jones. We are simply pleading for fairness and justice and for that political tolerance which must prevail beI fore South Carolina aagin becomes; normal.

I VERY QUIET MEETING AT PICKENS WEDNESDAY ALL CANDIDATES MAKE 3I1LD SPEECHES. Blease Reads Portion of Letter From Tillman to Show Latter is Hands-Off. Pickens, Aug. 21.?"Governor Blease knows himself that he is beaten; he sees the hand writing on the wall and knows he is gone," was one of the declarations made by Judge Ira B. Jones in the course of a clear-cut and vigorous presentation of his candidacy at the State campaign meeting here today. Judge Jones declared that Governor Blease is "scared and I can prove it." He then cited the governor's talk about assassination at Gaffney, where, said Judge Jones, "I had to pull out and show him a little cork- j i sr>rp\v I had in my pocket just to keep j j him from trembling to death." In contrast to most of his speeches (during the campaign Governor Blease. ; made no special attack on Judge .Jones ' [today. Very seldom did he mention j Judge Jones's na*me, and onili.Kd en-J itirelv the "social equality" and some' I . I of the other charges that have hereto-j j fore consumed much of the governor's j ! rimo in nrpsentilie. The governor today read a portion j of a letter from Senator Tillman bear- j ing on the gubernatorial race, defend- i ed his pardon record, and outlined oth- j er planks of his platform. With a view to showing that Sena- j tor Tillman is "hands off" in the gub- j ernatorial fight, Governor Blease read i from an article recently sent out from j Washington by Mr. P. H. McGowan, i which, said the governor, stated that j i he had promised his influence to Co-. | | W. Jasper Talbert in the senatorial; race. Gov. Blease declared he nad nev- i j er mentioned the senatorial or guber- ! natorial race to Col. Talbert. Thp gov-' I ! ernor said Mr. McGowan ought to bo named -4P. H. Liar." In reference to his charge that the | Jones people intend to count him out,! if possible, Governor Blease said he j had received a letter from ? Manly Smith, ex-sheriff of Lee county, saying that State Chairman John Gary Evans had sent the.Lee county chairman two I thousand tickets for use in the primj ary, whereas there are three thousand j names on the club rolls of Lee county. The governor said also that the Pickens county chairman had ' been furnished two thousand tickets less! than asked for. Lee and Pickens are | both Blease counties, said the gover- j nor, who declared the State chairman a I alleged action in regard to the ticket's j showed "they are trying to count me i out." The governor received as presents today an Elk's ring and a silver scarf' m'n vniin? ladks came udoii i the stand and presented the governor some beautiful flowers. i 1 NEWS OF PROSPERITY.

On August 6, 1912, the death angel came to the home of Mrs. Dora Thrift, in West End, and carried away the spirit of their mother, Mrs. Mary A. Force. Mrs. Force was born in Newberry county February 16, 1S41, and was married to Mr. G. W. Rankin in her young days. He was killed in the War Between the States, and was buried a: Point Look Out. Two children survives this union, Mr. T. B. Rankin, of Saluda, and Mrs. Dora Thrift, of West End. In later years she married Mr. Charley Force, who died in 1901, and one child survives this union, Mr. J. A. Force, of Saluda. Mrs. Force was 71 years old at her death, but notwithstanding her advanced age, she was very active up until a few months before her death. Her sight failed her some time ago, but she made it her duty to look for the < bright side of everything.-"Every dark cloud has a silver lining" was her motto. Mrs. Force is survived by three children, twenty-four grandchildren and seventeen great grandchildren. Her body was laid to rest in Bethany burying ground in Saluda, there to wait for the sound of the trumpet when "The dead in Christ shall rise."
