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

| 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."

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.' ,

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

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

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

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

"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."
