After tomorrow the name of the grand old State of South Carolina will no longer be a by-word and a hissing. ?Greenwood Journal, 26th. Well( stick to-that. With all the interest and with all the excitement, the election brought about no disorder in Newberry counv ty. On election day Newberry was unusually quiet, and during the night, though large crowds gathered in front of the bulletin boards and cheered the returns, the crowd was in fine humor. It is always thus with a Newberry crowd. Let s try to forget the bitterness engendered by the campaign. Somebody liad to be defeated. The candidates who have been elected are, of course, rejoicing. To those who have been defeated, or have as yet failed of election, we commend this little verse: / '"It is easy enough to be pleasant When life goes by with a song, But the man worth while, Is the man who can smile When everything goes dead wrong." We are told that the vote cast on Tuesday was a good many thousand larger than any vot^ in any previous primary in South Carolina, and the size of the vote in the governor's race is being compared with the population in South Carolina, the increase in census returns, and all such matters. Well, didn't the newspapers urge them all to come home from the mountains, and didn't they tell us they were coming home by trainloads? And didn't they tell us that they were all against Blease, and cite ae an instance that on one train of about 150 a doII" was taken and that only six were for Blease? THE VICTORY, AND A WORD TO THE GOVERNOR. Gov. Cole.. L. Blease has been nominated for a second term, after one of the bitterest and one of the hardestfought campaigns in the history of the Democratic party in South Carolina. me fieraic ana .News nas espoused the cause of Gov. Blease and is, of course, gratified in the vindication which he has received at the hands of the people of the proudest Commonwealth in the American Union. Some bitter flings have been taken at The Herald and News during this campaign by other newspapers in South Carolina. These we shall for get. The Herald and News has put up the best fight it knew how to put up. but it h>as sought to make a clean and open fight, and it comes out of the campaign, as it went into it, with malice towards none. To Governor please, as. a newspaper which has fought harder for him and longer than any other newspaper among the few newspapers in South Carolina who have ever supported him, The Herald and News wants to say: Gov. Blease, you have won a splendid victory against overwhelming cdds. You have been fought more bit terJy, perhaps, than any other man has ever been fought in South Caro\ lina politics. You have, perhaps, been more abused than any other man has ever been abused in South Carolina polities. In the face of all that has 'been said and done against you, you have kept your head as perhaps few men could have done. In the heat of the campaign you have said things that you ought not to have said, it is true, but human endurance has a limit, and surely yours has been over taxed. As Dr. Sligh said at Pomaria, TTiost men could not have stood what you have stood. But the victory is now yours. You have won, and your vindication at the hands of your fellow-countrymen is complete. In victory, you can well afford to try to forget the tight that has been made :i gainst you, and the character 'of it. There are things, it is true, which, in the frailty of human nature, can not but rankle in your heart for a time. But these things we beseech you to try to tear away from yourself. ?' ? C noHrtn 01*0 liriAn vn n ine eyes ui wc no.?.*v/u fixed in wonder at the victory you have achieved against the odds that you had to fight. The trust again reposed in you is as high and sacred as any trust which can be reposed in mortal man. You are again chosen to be governor of a people whose past is as rich as their future is glorious, j J The Herald ana rsews Deiieves as firmly in your uprightness, in your honesty and in your integrity as it did in the days of your younger manhood, when you lived among us and daily touched elbows with us. Had The Herald and News not so believed, j it would not have espoused your! cause. This newspaper, in supporting j you, cast its lot with you in the face of a bitter opposition, and has fought with you to the victory, and if the ballots had gone the other way would cheerfully have gone down with you into the defeat. Your ability is unquestioned even j j by your opponents. j South Carolina has now again, by that free and untrammelled ballot which our fathers were willing to give up their lives for, placed you in leadership. The Herald and News believes that j I you will wear the great honor worthi- j ly and that you will see only your | vindication at the hands of your fel- | low-Carolinians and that you will i seek not to remember the fight of those who fought you. In victory, bitterness has no place. You are victorious. In great places i there must not be enmity. oYu occupy a great place. You are the governor of South Carolina for another term, and we believe viior"h tmef ha? nnt been misnlaced. lU'C V* uw?* "UU ?" ? ? + So may it be. During the next two years of your administration, we hope that political peace may abide in South Carolina, and that material prosperity may increase and the educational advancement and the moral uplift of our people go forward steadily. To you, Gov. Blease, we desire to I extend our congratulations, and to j wish for you that your pathway may i lie througn pleasant piaces. OUR SOLICITOR For the thrid time Robert A. Cooper j has been elected to the office of soli- j citor for the Eighth judicial circuit, j He was unopposed for the position, j Four years ago he was elected without! opposition. In March, i905, he was j ?ac thp first solicitor of this, I the new circuit, receiving the nomi-! nation over an able lawyer and for- j . mer State's prosecuting attorney. I Four years prior to his election to j the "responsible position of circuit so- \ licitor, Mr., Cooper was elected a j nf tVio le?{ridntnTP frnm T.fllir- I JLlJL^lllU^X vi ^ ? - . ens county, and two years later he j I was re-elected. For some time before going to the legislature, Mr. Cooper held the office of magistrate in this city. This, in brief, is the public and political career of "Bob" Cooper. The repeated and practically unanimous indorsement of his administration of the office of circuit solicitor by the voters of four counties?Laurens, Newberry, Greenwood and Abbeville?proclaims the honorable man and public servant who for more than a decade has discharged the duties of office with signal abilitv. always with an even hand for justice and the constitutional rights of all.?Laurensville Herald. The Herald and News takes a great deal of pleasure in endosing these words spoken of Solicitor Cooper. Sew Chapel Meeting. This is to notify the church and all concerned that I will hold special ser- j vices at New Chapel Thursday, Friday, j Saturday and Sunday, and longer it i advisable, beginning Thursday, Sep- j tember ij. j There will be two services each j day.

I I Mr. Keitt Makt As To The i SAYS SOME WARD 5 ifATCC NAT DDADCD TU1L0 m/t ltlVILU MR. HARDEMAN, OF WARD | MAKES STATEMENT. Interesting Happenings in Meeting I Comity Executive Comn;iue?: on ! Thnrsdav. Just before the sub-committee to tabulate the vote made its report to the Newberry Democratic executive; committee on Thursday afternoon, Chairman Dominick stated that he would call the list of clubs and would ask if any objections or charges of fraud were to be made at any of the precincts that these charges be made as the roll was called. | When ward five was reached, Mr. J Jos. L. Keitt arose and stated that he had information of a number of irregularities. he would not call them by a harsher name, but lie would call only a few. "I call the name of J. H. Hendricks," said Mr. Keitt, "whom I am informed, will be nineteen years old next September, and who was per3 *~ T "P Thnmnc^in a miuea lu vuic. o. a., j.? resident of North Carolina, who has been in the State less than thirty days, W. F. Ingalls, who came into the county less than sixty days. Two sons of B. Thomasson, under age, and allowed to vote. Chairman Dominick asked if it was 1 v the purpose or Mr. Keitt to make any charges against these parties. Mr. Keitt said he was making no ^hnrarps. but he suDDOsed that the committee would like to see the rolls purged, and only those entitled to vote, allowed to vote. He said, at the present he had brought no charges in the courts. He did hot know what would be done about that. His only purpose was to give this information and help secure a pure ballot. He said that he had no purpose in making the statements of throwing ward five box out. Chairman Dominick said since these ~-????? TTtAxa moda Vl O wrtlllH atafp UliillgCt) HC1C IliauV) uv n vv?u that he was reliably informed that a resident of Augusta, Ga., whose name was not on the club roll, had applied to vote. After the completion of the call of the clubs, Mr. E. S. Blease stated that each executive committeeman was responsible for the appointment of tbe managers at his club, and that he had full confidence in the managers and the secretary of ward 2 club. Yet in ward 2, a young man whose name is D. W. Ringer, had directed that his name be Dut on the club roll, and it appeared there as W. J. Ringer, and he was allowed to vote. Mr. Blease stated, that as long as men who lived in Newberry went nine and ten miles to vote, they ought not to talk about irregularities. Mr. Keitt evidently thought this referred to him, and stated that he was a member of Mulberry club, and had always been a member of that club, and that his property was in that community. Mr. Blease replied by saying tjiat Mr. I Keitt also lived in Newberry and that his name was on Ward 3 club roll. Mr. Hardeman was asked to explain some of the irregularities charged in Ward 5.' He said that W. J. Ingalls referred to had come here from Union several days before the time for enrolling on the club had expired and that he had had his name enrolled, and that while he had gone back to Union to make arrangements to move, he was now working for him in the Newberry Cotton mills. As to Mr. ?1 TT J J Tfiomason, :vir. no.ru eiiio.ii oaiu uiai Mr. Thomason would tell you his sons are of age. The man from Augusta, E. C. McCullon, had been in the conn ty and in the State only a short time and his name was not enrolled, but on Saturday night before the election he made application to have his name enrolled, and it was refused. The petitions and resolutions published elsewhere were then presented bv Mr. Keitt. and received as infor mation. Mr. Kitt stated, in presenting them, that he supposed that the chairman would either rule them out of order, or they would not be adopted i*' by the committee. The report of the committee to tabulate the returns was then submitted and the result declared. Mr. Keitt made request that the petiiions presented be forwarded to the State executive committee. ? ? ? .; ? ... < > <?> <?> <9 <S> 3> OFFICIAL RESULTS. <S> ?> ' - <$> ? ... <??. <?>< > . ? .

WILSON WELCOMES VERY THOROUGH PROBE Has No Contributions to Conceal?The , Primary Campaign. Sea Girt, X. J., Aug. 27.?"I am absolutely in favor of publicity and welcome a thorough investigation o 1 my campaign expenses. I have always held that position. I have al* ways approved of it and will welcome it pc q -nattAr of nnnrse." In this way Gov. Woodrow Wilson to::ight, outlined his attitude toward the resolution introduced in the senate by Senator Penrose, calling, among other things, for an inquiry into the pre-conventicn campaigns of the various presidential candidates. The Democratic presidental nom;:iess was asked who his principal acker? were in the primary cam1-ign. "To tell the truth, I don't know my: elf except in a general way who had r :iar2p r.f -in* ^amnaign.in the various States," replied the governor. "I merely kept a general oversight over my campaign fund. Three times we had no fund at all." The governor said he could not even estimate his pre-convention expenses. He said most of the money, however, was raised from Princeton graduates. llir oil tllP "TlOriPV I lav/Hvuiij u** v?w ? ?.. spent for publicity," he said, "for distributing news through the press. We did not ask papers to use it. We did not volunteer it., We sent it out wherever it was asked for." The governor said that so far as he knew, 410 campaign contributions were declined. With reference to the Thomas F. Ryan incident, which developed in connection with the Watterson-Harvey-Wilson episode, the governor was asked if he had not declined a contribution from Mr. Ryan. "T ?-??rt1lTT r?nf ** n-ncnrnra/1 +Vla 1 pcrsuiiaiij vuu iiui, tuicn^ibu wv governor, "bilt Mr. McCombs did. But I ought not to say that because it leaves a false impression for Mr. McCombs declined to let anybody ask Mr. Ryan for a contribution.

The following is convincing proof. Mrs. J. 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 scarcely get about. The kidney secretions 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-inlaw procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills for me at W. 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 boxes my backache had disappeared and my kidneys had been restored to their normal condition. j nave l CliU ULlmended Doan's Kidney Pills to many of my friends and shall continue to do so."
