I lb ?5mi4 mi peutf Entered at the Postoffice i* v?\vterry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. J E. H. AULL, EDITOR, jh Friday, September 13, 1912. After the rains which we have recently had, we should not forget to use the split-log drag. It is one of the ! cheapest and best devices for road "working that was ever invented and if properly used after the rains wouia do a great deal to put the roads in good condition. The people of Little Mountain, New- j berry county, "heard a great meteor burst" Saturday night. How did that! town vote in the first primary??i Greenwood Journal. That town voted the Democratic oimnst solidly, and will be UVUCl VW w V ? ? / found doing so the next time you hear from it. r ; -r We understand that some of ^ the Jones men, who have put up consid-, erable sums on the election are now * employing lawyers in order to re strain the payment of the wager. We / woncter if this has any influence in , I withholding the declaring the result j of the election. We hope, not, because we have always believed that a man ; V should stick to his bargain. j The returns from Tuesday's elections in the various counties show tbat the Blease sentiment stiii preTails, and many of the candidates who received majorities on Tuesday in the i various counties were supporters of \3 1 Got. Bleas\ In the eighth circuit, j Solicitor J. C. Otts has been defeated Mr. E. A. Hill, Mr. Hill having se? cured a majority vote in each county of tie- circuit Mr. Hill was a pro nounced Blease man wnne Mr. utts was a pronounced Jones man. u' The Newbefry Herald and News is one o? the few newspapers in South Carolina that claims to believe that the late primary election was fairly conducted and that the great increase in the vot of the State was all right and proper. There is no telling what some folks can believe when they make up their minds to believe it.? Orangeburg Times and Democrat. If you know that the election was unfairly conducted why not produce the evidence and give the specifications? The vote in Newberry county was about 500 more than two years \ ago or an increase of about 20 per I cent., and we have not found any one yet who is willing to produce any evidence that there was illegal voting in this county. The special committee appointed to probe the recent primary election did not meet on Wednesday, as at first advertised. If the plan outlined by Mr. Stevenson is carried out, and copies of all poll lists and club rolls are made and printed in the new papers, before the committee begins the real investigation of the primary, nothing will be done until after the general election, because it will take a good deal of time to secure accurate copies of all the poll lists and club rolls, and, in fact, we doubt if the thing is possible any way. We confess that we do not understand the purpose of the committee, even if there should be found irregularities, as no doubt there will be, it will be difficult, to determine whether those irregularities affected the vote for Blease or Jones. If they shou.'d be found sufficiently serious to affect eifhor one of these! races, why should they not also affect the races for other State officers, and all of the county officers, because it is true that nearly every man who voted in the governor's race voted also in all of the races in each of the counties. RASH TALK IX CAROLINA. The trouble with some people is they never know when they are whipped. Better talre the medicine aracefu"?y and with a smile. The people ol South Carolina will not stand for an independent ticket, and many of the ^k?!lowg as well as the bovs arr* j^insheath their swords and ?tlieir old muskets.?The Newberry Herald and News. Really? Or is it a joke? The Newberry Herald and News supported Governor Blease in the primary, and supported him with most marked ability. Nor is the paper "crowing" over the result or trying to "rub it in" on the men who stood by Judge Jones. It has gone no further than to advise the losers to "know when they are whipped" and to stop "a-holler?? o* " Surely The Herald and News is not in earnest about the swords and muskets. Reckless talk, that The Herald and News might retract its language with great credit to itself and in great justice to "old fellows" of South Caro-! lina.?Augusta unromcie. We never crow over victories. We are satisfied to have done our duty. We might say in regard to swords and muskets that of course we were satisfied that the good, sober, commonsense and judgment of the people of | South Carolina would prevail, and we feel sure that when the committee meets asain it will declare Governor I Blease the nominee of the party and j all good Democrats will join in his 4 election in November. THE SILYERSTREET SCHOOL. The trustees of the Silverstreet * 1 L-i-A o Inf fnr SCnOOi district uavc octuicu & iui, ivi i the building of the new school house, and will let the contract in a few days, and it is hoped to have the building completed by the first of January. The location selected is one of the * "* " * 1 ' - * ? A fll A J lHOSt 'GGSlTclDIG 1X1 liie luwu auu trustees have gone at the matter in a business-like way and secured sufficient land to furnish the children j ample play-ground, and as :the town I grows, and the school increases, if ! there should be demand for a building I for the superintendent, there is ample ground for this purpose, also. In \ fact, they have sufficient land so that if it is desired a small experimental farm could be operated in connection with the school. There is no doubt that the building of this school will advance the commercial growth of the community more than anything else that could possibly have been done. \ ppnnle whn are desiring homes ? will be looking in the direction of Silverstreet as soon 'as the school building is completed and the school is thoroughly organized, and in a few years there is no doubt that the taxable property in this district will increase very' materially. This has been the history of other communities whAtP priori schools were provided. People as a rule have come to realize 'that they must educate their children and when any one is looking for a jhome the first question he asks himself is, is there a school in the community. Silverstreet is a good trade centre already and when, this school I is in operation, it will be found that I business of all kinds will materially I increase and the community will develop much more rapidly than it has in the past. The Southern P iilway slould look mto affairs r.t Silverstreet and provide better depot facilities at that point. It is stated by some of thos$ who- are in position to know that there are possibly as many solid cars shipped from Silverstreet as there are from Newberry. The town is located j in 0116 Ol me most leruic sctLiunjs ; th^county and the people are alive to the development of the community, "and the depot facilities, both freight and passenger, are entirely inadequate | to the business that is done at tlv point. This issue of the paper goes to . ^1 press a tew nours earner uiair usuai, inasmuch as the editor had business out of town and had to leave early Thursday afternoon and other members of the force also were out of i town. j On His "Doubtful" List. j Tom McXeal tells of a candidate ' ^ ? ~ ^ ** < * r? nr/"\iTiar o r*Anyi ^ jiur Slienil \\ I1U W UO cnuuuu I among the voters soliciting their | j votes. He had a little bo6k with him iu which he entered the pames of the voters he interviewed afod their , politics. He came to one <Jihint, heavy jawed and big-firsted man who evidently did not like him. "Well, Mr. Jones," said the candidate, "I suppose that I can count on your support at the election?" "Xaw, you can't count on my supTr.noc "T'ri rather take yui L) oaiu uuuvu. - _ poison than vote for a son-of-a-gun like you." "From the way you talk," said the candidate, as he pulled out his book, "I reckon mebby I had better put you down as somewhat doubtful."?Kansas City Star. Sambo's Ambition. "Well, Sambo," said the colonel as * he greeted one of his old-time retainers. "I hope the world is treating you well." "Yessuh, tollable well, suh," said ; Sambo. I "I suppose, like all the rest of us, you are trying hard to get rich," said the colonel. "Wa-al, boss," said Sambo, "Ah cyarn't say Ah care much fo' riches mahseff, suh. De height o' my arnbi tion am to become whad vo' might call a watahmillionaire, suh." "Whereupon the colonel sent him home with the foundation for such a fortune in the shape of a watermelon -that was just "a-oozin"' with the desired riches.?Judge's Library. Mixing.Them Up. A story about Sign or Marconi has been floating about in stock exchange un uieo. Mr. Marconi, at a dinner in Newport, was once seated beside a lady who, mixing him with his compatriot, Mascagni, said: v "Oh, I'd so love to hear you playyour beautiful 'Intermezzo.'" "I'll do it," the inventor answered promptly, "if you've got a wireless piano."?Washington Star. * ^ ? - J? ml t a ijueer case 01 num. The native thrift of the Vermonters was under discussion and a story was told that was held to illustrate it perfectly. There was a man in one of the in? terior Vermont towns who had an old horse ringboned, spavined, with the heaves and every other horse ailment ?a mere shadow of a horse. He used to riri\-e thp horse to town everv dav and was jeered by his neighbors for using such a miserable beast. One day he walked into the store at the corners. "Where's your horse, Jas?" a friend asked. "Sold him." "Sold him! How much did you get?" "Got a hundred dollars.' ""Who in thunder did you sell that horse to for a hundred dollars?" "Why',' replied the Vermonter, as he exhibited a roll of bills, "I sold him to mother."?Saturday Evening Post.. Those >'ew Verbal Wrinkles.
