Hf- Jtali pnrs Entered at the Postoffice lerry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, September 6, i912. Gov. Bleaee says the South Carolina editors are the greatest liars on earth. Of course the governor doesn't mean Messrs. Aull et al.?Greenwood Journal. Miiwjo nnt_ Whv should he? The trouble with some people is they never know when they are whipped. Better take the medicine-gracefully and with a smile. The people of South Carolina will not stand for an independent ticket, and many of the old fellows as well as the boys are ready to unsheath their swords and take down their old muskets. In reading the newspapers, and the charge that the large vote in South Carolina, in the recent primary, is an evidence of fraud, we were just wonderfr?"-, if Judge Jones had received a majority cf even one thousand, with .1-- '"-"a "nta if these same me CrUiJiC lew Tl/VV) ^ newspapers would have raised the samf* cry of fraud, on account of the increase in the vote in the primary. We notice that Senator Tillman says some very hard things 'about Mr. N. B. Dial, of Laurens, and states that he would not have said the mif Mr. Dial ( had not joined in the contest of Tillman's election. Mr. Tillman claims to have appointed Mr. Dial's son to Annapolis, but at the same time says that in a competitive examination, Mr. Dial's son won the appointment. If the appointment was to be decided on a competitive examination, and young Dial StOOd t.D0 D6SL CAamiiianuu, nuu won the appointment, we do not see where Mr. Tillman showed Mr. Dial any special favor in appointing his son or where * Mr. Dial is \ under any special obligations to Mr. \ Tillman for such appointment. There should have been no need of a competitive. examination if the you:-g man who won in such examination was to get the appointment by special favor of Senator Tillman. As to the other matters contained in Mr. Tillman's statement, to the effect that he protected the young man, it rTnno in the setJiuo cu us A<- ? proper spirit by Mr. Tillman, it should have been a matter which he would have refrained, even under the present circumstances, from giving to the pub; lie. * , The Anderson Daily Mail makes the following very sensible comment: "Let's forget as soon as we can the ?~ ~ ? ,4. ^ or>/^ TL-rk-rlr tncrpfh pr 1 ccctiI, taiijjjaijii U."VI .. ? ? | for the upbuilding of South Carolina. I We 'need no longer have lines of cleavage, we can now come back, all Carolinians, into the great brotherhood of a common cause. There is much to ! do. The great need of our commonf wealth, as it is of the entire South, is , * > to give a mt>re hearty, and less vocal, * support to our schools, and other up| lifting agencies." ie -iiio* what -all vc\r\(\ and true >r JL Uai IO J UO l, " v v*** ? ? v. South Carolinians should do. We . should forget all the bitterness engendered by the recent campaign, and v accept the result in good faith and go to work as true men and true Carov linians, for the upbuilding of our I State. The primary was inaugurated in Efc I this State for the purpose of securing M the voice of a majority of the white f men of South Carolina, and everyone ;; who enters the white primary pledges himself to abide the result. If the peo: t pie do not vote as any one individual . thinks they should vote, that indivi' dual, if he participates in the primary, ^ pledges himself to abide the result. I Some half dozen citizens of Mt. Carmel have addressed a letter to the : State executive committee, in which it j is stated that the ballot boxes were styffed to the extent of fifteen thousand i votes, at the lowest estimate, and [* that all of them were stuffed in behalf It of Mr. Blease. As evidence, they cite a number of counties in which the vote is larger this year than it was in ^ x f 1910, and in which Blease's vote was j increased. They conclude, from this that there is only one remedy, and that is to take the matter into the general I election and elect a "decent man" for governor. They claim that they have on their side a majority of the quali fied voters of the State, and that if Judge Jones can not run, they desire some other good man to enter the race. We are of the opinion that they will find very little encouragement in such a movement. We would like to know what they think of the vote in Charj leston county. As we recall the figures, there were at least one thousand more votes cast in Charleston in 1912 than in i910, and if we are not mistaken Mr. Jones carried Charleston by about one thousand votes. We are also of opinion that two years ago, when Blease carried Charleston, by about two thousand, over Mr. Featherstone, a good deal was said about cor ruption in Charleston, and the excessive vote there at that time. We have not observed that any of the papers have had anything to say about the excessive vote in Charleston, or about any fraud there in 1912, and yet the vote in Charleston is at least one thousand more than it was two years ago. To paraphrase a sentence from the Mt. Carmel petition, "would Blease men stuff ballot boxes with Jones votes?" We can not understand why it should be charged that there was fraud, or 110 honest nomination for governor, because one of the candidates received a majority of votes in a number of counties where the vote was larger it was two vears aso. The proper thing for all true Democrats and Carolinians to do is to accept the result of the m'ajority in good faith, and as we all pledged to do when we voted in the primary.' , - I >0 USE TO KICK. The State executive committee/ at *-' ? TiTVw/Jnocriijv aHnntp/1 a its meeting uu hcuuwjuu.,, ? resolution appointing a committee of seven to probe the alleged irregulari| ties in the Democratic primary held on [ August 27, and to report to an adjourned meeting of the committee to be called by the chairman. It will be very difficult for this committee to find out much about frauds, if there were any, in an election held in forty-four counties in # South Carolina. There were, no doubt, * ?1 ? ? *% ?-? o? nr/% many irreguia.ntit;s, uut su iai as v?c have observed, no specific charges of fraud have been made. There is no doubt that in many counties the managers have not adhered strictly to a technical observance of the rules and constitution of the party, feeling that everybody would be satisfied if there were an honest expression of the voters at the polls. In Newberry county, for instance, two of the polling precincts failed, or neglected, to send in the poll lists with their returns. This, as we understand it, is a technical violation of + ""lAf. nrmraT-niniT tVlQ nrimorv IllC i Uica 5U?CiUiU5 lilt p iiiiui;, though there was no suspicion of fraud at either one of these precincts. However, if the county executive committee had adhered strictly to a technical observance of the rules, and had * refused to count the votes of these two precincts, it would have'changed The result in one of the most imDOrt ant of the county offices, and elected a man who is defeated We never have believed that it was the intention of the primary system to adhere absolutely to all.of the technical requirements of the rules, or of the constitution, the purpose being to get an honest expression of the white Democrats I in South Carolina, as to tneir cnoice of the men who aspired to the different positions. The best thing for the good name and peace of South Carolina would have been for those who were defeated to accept their defeat with as good grace as possible. The committee states that there will be no election held next Tuesday for attorney general, though so far as we have observed there has been no contest or protest or charge or" Insinuation of fraud in this contest, and if the county primaries are to proceed, there I can be no good reaeon for postponing , > A the election for attorney general. The only protest.and notice of contest that we have observed, is as to the governor's race, and yet if the county boxes are to be thrown out on account of fraud, it seems to us that this fraud would affect other contests as well as +V>ot fr\r- fVio ar/wornr?rieViir? mac J.ui tuc THE COUNTY SCHOOL. . The school house should be the centre of population. Around it the young and the old should allow their interests to centre and their affections to "cling. Is the school house of to day, in all its neatness ana Deauiy, as close to the hearts of the people as was the "old field school" where many of our best men of today got their start in letters through the in- i tensive system, including the hickory withe? The school house should never be closed. It should always be the place for neighborhood gatherings. Along this line Gov. Wqodrow Wilson j says: "There is one thing in which I have ] hpen verv much interested in recent; years. oYu know I used to be a' schoolmaster and the interesting: thing about the schools of the United | States is that the United States makes j so limited use of them. "For example you take our school j houses all through the country side,; standing here, there and everywhere, in the cities, and they are closed for the most nart between the school session of one day and the school ses-! sion of the next day. They are public buildings. They belong to the communities. They furnish ideal places in which to assemble and discuss pub-; lie affairs. They are just what we need for neighborhood conferences of every kind. And yet it was reserved j for a recent date for somebody to sug- j gest that the school houses be made j social centres; that tftey be used tor: every kind of legitimate conference."! "The back to the farm" movement will never be a reality until the school house becomes the centre of interest j Singing schools, debating societies, j i i j musical concerts, phonograph readings ! bring neighbors together and to ideas musical programs?these all tend to broaden their minds and make their ' more liberal.?Anderson Mail. It is very gratifying to have so j high authority as Governor Wilson ! endorse the position one takes. Fori i +Vi/-v ariitnr of The. Wpralri and VUA CV4 VI JL , News has been trying to impress upon j the people of Newberry county that; I the one most important thing needed J in the county is to discover the school house, and when it is discovered, to j make it the centre of the community, j and that is just what Governor Wilson says in the above quotation. We have j tried to impress the importance of this ( idea, in our visits to schools and in our campaign in the county during the past two months. The school house should be open the year round, and should furnish a place : in which the people of the community j 1 J VU .1 r\ii Vili of. ! cuiuu asseuiuie auu uis^usa puwut ai- | fairs, as Mr. Wilson says, and not only so, but it should be used by the wo-j men of the community for tneir social gatherings, so that the school house would be ever in the mind of the people of the community. As it is now. in many of the country places, the; I school house, during the greater part j of the year, is closed, so far as the j public is concerned, or if not closed, is not open in the proper and helpful sense. "The back to the farm" movement will never become a reality until the people in the rural districts discover the school hous% and the country-siae win never oe wnat 11: ought to be until there are better I I schools and better school houses :n j the country. ! "GO SLOW," TILL MAX'S ADVICE. I . Senator Points Danger of Independent State Ticket. Columbia, Sept. 3? Senator Tillman today addressed the following letter to State Chairman John Gary Evans: "I enclose you a letter which came in today's mail from a man whom I do not know, but whom you may know. I do not understand what he means by the facts concerning our State primary two years ago between Featherstone and Blease, but I do understand what he says of the contest against Bl?ase's denomination. You already know what ? ? ? i rf!y ideas are on tne suojecr. ir rraua has been practiced anywhere it ought to be ferreted out relentlessly and the guilty parties punished in the courts. "My.advice to the State executive committee is to go slow and be sure that they can prove that Blease's J l^Tl i friends stuffed the ballot boxes before [ they declare him not the nominee of; the party. If there is any suspicion I that there is an effort to rob him of the governor's office because of partisanship, then he will run as an independent in November and we would have two white factions contesting for the negro vote, with the corporations all lined up and an amount of money for him to control as many uegiuca ?> necessary. But he would not need money, for the people would put him in office if there is even a suspicion of unfairness. So, I beg you to go very slow and be sure of your ground before you take any such steps as that. "After the battle has cleared away j and we know wnere we are, we must: take counsel together to prevent a; repetition of this trouble and save the primary. The primary is our ark of safety against negro domination. The object now should be to make the primary command the confidence and support of all the white people. If Roosevelt could get his paw in South ^ 1 ~? ~ J TT'Vj 7 /">h ^aroniia, unuer uie tuuumyus nmvu seem to threaten us, he has millions of dollars at his command and Blease would not lack money if he did get it from other sources." Hamriek-Stuck. On Thursday evening at 9.30 o'clock, at the residence of Rev. J. H. M nh ;r, Atlanta, Ga., the marriage ci' .Miss Ella Kate Hamrick, of Starke, Fla., and Mr. Olin L. Stuck, of Peak, S.
