This is big head line in the Columbia Record. Too soon in the game lo cry for help. Pollack and .Jennings have been doing their best Ho det'at Blease and now when tney see how the tide is turning, or rather now \i Mas been running <n the time, they cry alound to Smith to come over and help us else we perish. Jennings and Pollock have been laboring hard at the job assigned them and we guess they have found the paddling difficult sometimes, but they don't know anything at <^1 yet. Ti e "water has been eddy and the sailing line to what the t rrents in the up country will be, and the cry to Smith tf! pnmc nvw -inr] V?pln us will hp pypii louder. t The Columbia Record devotes another two column broadside at the editor of The Herald and News and brings up all the testimony that it thinks might be detrimental to us in the asylum investigation last winter. Just what purp.se the Record is trying to serve we do not see. The editor of The Herald and News is not a candidate for anything and is not an issue in the senatorial campaign so far as we can see. It shows one thing, however, that the opposition to Gov. liiease is getting desperate early in the game and Uat it is willing to g? to any lengths. As we have before remarked we have absolutely nothirg to be ashamed of or to withhold in all of our connection with the asylum and its investigation. We went there frequently at the earnest request anu invitation of the then superintendent and thou ant we were in the 'house Oi our friend, and everything we did or said was in the interest of peace and the good of the institution, if the Record desires to discuss Gov. Blease or his record and what he has done or said it has a perfect right to do so, but it has n"> right to be bringing the editor o: T.:e Herald and News into thex discussion. You must be desperate indeed if you lay so much stress upon any opinion the editor of The Herald and News may have held six months ago. You will have to find something else to turn the tide o< the votes against Blease. He is moving right on to Washington. T.ie candidates for governor and the senate and the newspapers that are opposing Blease are certainly giv mg aoum Laroima a oua name as a lawbreaking State. To read these deli\erances one would think that South Carolina was in a state of anarchy and that the lawbreakers were certainly numerous in the State. Is it justified by the facts? Is there a reign of f f Vi r*a?i rrl"? .-\n t" O an f V? Pn y?a1 i n O O T C tci i ui uuuugiiuui ^aiuiiiia . xo ii not a fact t'nat in certain st ,tions / oi* South Carolina the dispensary law has been violated ever since was forced on the people? Is it really any worse new in those same places than it was years ago? in Newberry we know of a fact that it is not as bad as it was here some years ago. The liquor laws were violated during the administrations o: Anse! and Heyward just about as they are now and on through all the other administrations back to Gov. Tillman's day. We have been in Charleston and other towns in the State during the time that all of these governors were in office and thp conditions Avere about the same all the time, except worse, possibly, when the dispensary law was first hoisted upon the people. Tlie newspapers did not say much about it when Ansel and Hey ward were governors, but the violations went on just the same. Besides that, if our memory is not at fault the Carev-Cothran act makes --L- *~ A a c?V?nriffc? oivl r>TQ aic.

Chapman was ; t s.irouded with sorrow when the wife ' c and mother was called to the great. a beyond. She was confined to her bed ! i for only few days, so, therefore, we ; t see tyiat in the midst of life we are ' s in death. ; e Mrs. Chapman was 37 years o ^ months. 20 days old. She leaves a devot- l] ed husband, seven loving children a, de- * voted father two lovfng sisters and ~ three brothers and a host of other e i relatives and friends to mourn her i 1 departure.

Slavery has existed all through his- i ory, but its existence nowhere gave he world such qualms of conscience j is did Southern slavery. It was j jracticed throughout the Union at I )ne time, but climate and occupation nade it unprofitable at the North. It l barely possible that these circumstances hastened its aibolition in that >leak region. Tae institution was in- : lerited from our ancestors without hinking seriously of its evil features. ?':?i ilofi- unloo'iniv vrae rtr-n iirAr-tippr! jy Christians without conscientious >cruples. When the convention met at PliilaJelphia to frame the constitution of he United States, the delegates from Maryland and Virginia plead for the ibolition o: the slave trade, but every Cort'iern delegate, except one, voted -r its continuance. The South makes listory but Northern men write hisory. Small wonder it is, therefore, hat the world has scant respect for >ur section. It never l*new the South ind Southern slavery. More's the )ity.
