L. Blease was selected by the peopl-e to be their governor, this newspaper has askd everybody to put aside political prejudices and get down to business. We thought the matter ended and believed, as we do now, that Blease was justly, and is justly, entitled to the office he has won a majority of the votes of the State. But it now appears that those opposed to Governor Blease wish to get him out of the way at any cost For years the fight was waged before the State convention to require registration certificates as a prerequisite to vote in the Democratic primaries, j Each time men like Cole. Blease, the j late Col. Thos. Crews, of Laurens, and +Viq of+omnt' "VriTT tho UCildS UClCaiCU Ll-H-/ iivn V"^. 6ame tiling is sought to be required | by a different method, namely, by placl ing two Democrats in the general election. _ ~. Has the State executive committee the legal right to do this? The press agents from Columbia say so, hut (lo the people of South Carolina say so? We do not believe that the honorable voters of South Carolina are going back on their oaths to support the nominee of the Democratic party. Of course, should the matter go into the olw>tirm it will ho said that U1 VAVVVAWMJ ' ? ~ there was no nominee of the Democratic party declared. On this technicality many may strain their consciences to the extent of voting for the man put up against Cole. Blease. We say here, in passing, that we don't know what Blease would do in! such a contingency. He may or may hot enter such a contest. But if he does, even those who voted for Jones in the primary 6hould now vote for j Blease. It is a well known fact that thousands of legal South Carolina voters have no registration certificates and therefore can not vote in the general ?- VI election. Many people are uiiauie IV j get the certificats for various reasons. Hundreds of certificates are lost each year, even when carefully laid away. The average farmer or worker for a livelihood has no regular place for his papers and the resul; is that such documents as registration c?r.ificates and the like are oitentr.nes lost. Of course, the city merchant i and the banker and the lawyer have J their certificates careful1? pUced | away and can lay their hands on j them at a moment's notice. By the losing of certificates thousands of voters are cut out from easti.ig their foai- j lots in the general election. We do not know what the executive i committee in Columbia will do. But | we are certain the members, for the most part, will go to any extreme to defeat Cole. Blease or to rule him oi:t if they can do so. W. F. Stevenson, Governor Blease's bitterest political opponent in the State, is chairman of! the sub-committee to begin the probe i of the primary tomorrow. How can! ji: Cole. Blease get justice? As we stated above we are for j peace. But we have no idea that the j people of Anderson county and the j nf tho fftfltp At lare-e are p-o- I ^U?"V ? O- ! ing to stand for any such business I as is now cropping out in this election. They are going to seat Cole. Blease or there is ?oing to be a civil war in South Carolina. AND IF A WAR IS NECESSARY THE INTELLIGENCER IS IN FAVOR OF IT RATHER THAN SEE THE TUTT T. ATT TWT7! PTT-nPT/TC DRTTF! ATPH BY A FEW SORE-HEADED POLITI- | CIANS. ]?ay Strengthen Blease. Anderson Mail, 6th. The friends of Gov. Blease on the; State executive committee opposed | delaying making an official announcement of the result of the first*primary ?and we do not blame them. They feel that the majority of the Democratic voters of the State have expressed their choice, and to have any delays or suspense is merely a wearines to the flesh. However, we can see where no harm to Gov. Blease can result. In fact, there has been so much stirring up of bad odors that it may be better to have the atmosphere clarified. He has nrvm A Aiif Or+lmn Qrl AfV?Q*? ir>VAf VUI11C UUl oil HI UU1C1 IllYW" i ligations, as he may in this. V There has been no charge of a comV mon purpose in these irregularities, W so-called "frauds." It has not been w charged that any central agency is responsible for any irregularities.! / ! These may be but sporadic cases. Ifj | such be proved, then Gov. Blease will be strengthened, politically and in every other way. For there are men who K voted against him who would wish to eee him receive the nomination after the majority had declared him its choice. We wish to see the investigation, thorough, now that it has started, and we wish to see it impartial. If it is not, it will be more disgraceful than the alleged frauds. For while irregularities might have occurred through ignorance or carelessness, uie members of this committee are intelligent men. We believe at present that there can be but one outcome?the committee must declare Blease the nominee, and if this is done, it will prove the State executive committee to be + TY1 art "EV\y> it VAC! 111 rPo OrTPa t pau iuuv; uitu? i vi vu.v moral courage for them to take such steps as they have to purge the reputation of the primary from suspicion and from slander, and then to hand the nomination to one whom the majority of them have opposed. r Spend Your 3Ioney at Home. Boot and Shoe Recorder. Every purchase from the local store j helps the merchants to reinvest their 1 profits largely in better, stocks, better stores and better facilities. They pay their share of the cost of paving the (street and laying the sidewalk, in doing many things. So it is plain to be seen that the busy street that people enjoy is paid for by themselves, is their money returned to them in the shape of a better town. When you go into a local store and buy goods from a local merchant, you j do not get only the goods. You get j the thrifty town, the paved streets, the | school which your children attend, the churches which preserve the moral atmosphere of the community, the things you enjoy and use, which you and the merchant and the manufacturer Day for in common. You can send the money to some other town and get the goods; but you can not get these other things.. It is plainly evident, then, that the more of your money you spend at home ,the more you will get for your money, the quicker will the crossroads become a village and the community a town with all of the conveniences and none of the inconveniences of the metroDolis. The more money you spend at home in patronizing local merchants, in building a house for yourself, in investing in real estate, in dressing better and feeling better, the more you will be able to have and enjoy these things. Why make the fatal error of hurtine vonr town instead of helnine it. of diminishing your town instead of enlarging it, of damaging your town instead of improving it, since you cannot hurt or hinder your town without hurting and hindering yourself. Why teach your children that the city is the place to trade and expect to teach them that it is not the place to go? Why constantly encourage them to leave the home town and set ,tle in some larger place? Why be. the hand to break home ties, to separate your self from your children? The more you spend at home the more attractive will your town be to the coming generation and the more pleasant to yourself in your old age. If you have friends, here is where they are. wnen you maKe a rover or your < money you make rovers of your children and of yourself. You make your town a poorer place in which to live instead of a better one. The money we earn let us spend in securing the largest return for it. If you send your children away they may never return. If you send your money away it may never come back. Your prosperity, your happiness, your children, are likely to follow your money where ever it goes. "Why not I spend it where your children wil)! grow up with it, where it will do you the most good now and give you the most comfort in the future. ROMANCE OF WHEAT. The March of Bread Has >~ow Circled the Globe. Man doesn't know where he came from, and he doesn't know where the bread he lives on came from. But, says a writer in the Kansas City Star, somewhere in the early days, before any story was ever written, Mr. Man and Mr. Wheat got together. And nobody has since been able to pry them apart. These two old cronies are closer chums than Damon and Pythias. Yes, they are more like the Siamese twins; cut them apart and they'd die. You remember Damon was willing to J be executed that Pythias might live. But these old friends, man and wheat, j couldn't serve each other that way. If one died the other could not live. Let j the world's wheat crop fail for a single year, and famine would depopulate the globe. On the other hand, if man disappeared from the earth the wheat would die out, too, and be seen no more. A pretty little story, isn't it; and so sentimental. But really there is no I sentiment about it at all. Man makes his bread of wheat because wheat contains all the elements of food. It grows in all countries. Its berry shells easily out of its husks; which can't be said of oats or rice. For that reason the cave men used to go out where the wild wheat was growing and shell the seed out by hand and eat it. These grains of wild wheat were very small; not much larger than mustard seed. But they tasted good. As the ages went by, men learned to plant the wild wheat seeds in ground they had cultivated with sharp sticks. In this ground the wheat berries grew much larger than in the wild state. There was more starch in them. And as staVch is the food that gives man energy, the more wheat he ate the more strength he had to raise more wheat. Fine. So man increased m numbers until at last he was more numerous than any other sort of animal. Wheat was the cause of it all. Wheat made man king of the lands, and in honor of this victc-^ even to this day men crown themselves in 'Summer with a bat made of wheat straw. This increase of men and wheat has been going on side by side since the time when it was morning in far-off Asia land. It has been thousands of I years; perhaps millions of years. No one saw the beginning, but we now on earth have seen the end. Within our own lifetime we have seen the world's wheat field spread till it could SDread no farther. The last raw field I has been invaded by the plow. There | are no new continuents to be discovi ed, no trackless prairies waiting in I their virginity unkissed of the wooing barley. The march of bread, which started in Asia in the dim dawn, has circled the globe following the westward sun across the continents, until today the wheat fields of Oregon and British Columbia wave their yellow banners toward the shores of Asia.! tViq -irmrnpv around the world is done. I Under man's tillage wheat has become a rich, luxuriant plant?much bigger and less hardy than its ancestor, the wild wheat. Yet its ancestor has perished from the earth. Nowhere on all the globe does a spear of wild wheat blossom today. A"nd if the tame wheat were turned out to fight for itself among wild weeds and grasses, experiments have shown that in three years the wheat dies out entirely in the unequal struggle. But wheat no longer has to fight for its life. Man has laid out the whole earth into fields. He has fenced the wheat with barbed wire. All the animais must keep off the grass. { SHOES FOK THE 0>E LEGGED. Single Shoes Sold, and Two Pairs Bro- j ken ior Some Customers.

Few people have feet exactly alike Commonly the left foot is larger than the right, so that one shoe may fit a little more snugly than the other.Ordinarilv. however, people bay shoes in regularly matched pairs, the difference in their feet, if it is noticeable to ! them at all, not being enough to make any other course desirable.
