AULL, EDITOR. t ; Friday, July 17. 1914. 1 , IFcr the benefit of the editor of the j Press and Banner we will say that j Col. Aull can neither siDg nor whistle, so don't worry. Don't forget to enroll. And do it now. There are only a few more days and i:' you fail to enroll you will not be permitted to vote and it will be your own fault. And be sure to your full name. j The University of Soutf.i Carolina i jias gone to Virginia for a president, j We had thought tuat Ac ting President ; ( Moore would have tilled the bill. The University has been doing mighty well j under -his management. ;i !, Quito a number of our citizens i vent down to the meeting at New- j * berry on Friday.

Anil wVin id n snnnnrrpr of i 'JUUi l/Ul ' ' iiV AlJ Mr V ? ? w* ? ? the administration, frankly admits that he was not impressed with ? "Lang" Jennings' looks. Rather for- ] midable, eh??Spartan'burg Herald. , Not that at all. Formidable, nay, ] nay. That is the pictur ewe .bad in our , mind of him from the newspaper re- | ports and our disappointment was that t he was not "formidable." ,t The editor of the Greenwood Index i thinks our estimate of the number c who left the meeting there on Satura day w'ben Gov. Blease left is too high. He s?.vs the counted onlv 60, certainly 1 not over 75. We are sure he did not ? c see them all. Our estimate mav have t been too high though we made it i much lower t'san s me others. That point, however, is not material any c n.-av As t> matter of fact we think i . II the number at all tne meetings is ov- j i 1 erestimated. Two thousand people, j for instance, is a pretty big crowd. is We notice that one o:' the candidates for governor in speaking against compulsory school attendance makfs the ] statement: "We are not prepared to j double our educational I'acijities." If |1 a compulsory school attendance law i' would reauire the doubling -cf educa- j ! i tional facilities then there can be no ; stronger argument made in favor of i such a law. If tinat large a per cent-| age of t:ie white children are outxofj school w':.o should be there then it behooves the people of S nth Carolina to wake up and be doing something for these unfortunate children. 1 ^ -r. a vnnf n r? >1 A n-norHionc T .

We were not personal or j I T sarcastic or funny. "\V e only expressed | an opinion based in statements we I m heard made bv people who live in the M third district.

We lave not whined or complained. ; [f you want our record we were de- _ a Seated once for the legislature and at ^ he next election elected. We were a>J defeated for the senate. We have., I lever complained. The fhces do not ^ oelong to Editor Aull and we always , ? Dow gracefully to the will of the peo- j pie. But what has all this got to do j ^ ft-itin Mr. Dominiok's race for con- j ?ress. Surely you will give us the ev right to our opinion and the right : -> express it. We do not propose to ho do personal or to abuse Mr. Aiken but s0 ,ve do propose so far as our aibility roes to show the people of this district cj, hat it is to the interest of the district ja, o elect M1*. Dominicfc. na Yts, we said we wers go- pe Lg to take a trip over the t?h< nstrict. we nave 'iictu uuc <anu j Lre so much pleased with what we co :ave seen and witih the people we \v; iave met that we are going to take ru mother. We beg that you will not in- ^ erfere or prevent us t-ii^ittle pleasire. Does the district belong to Mr. iiken and his secretary, the editor ^ )f the Press and Banner? We did noi | j mow it. Is Editor Aull n t to be al- ' . ( owed the pleasure and the privilege )t riding through the district, in one 4 section o: which ill is parents reside? j t Dtl rlas Mr. Aiken and his secretary, the ; Iin editor of the Press and Banner, any | proprietary rights we would invade ivrongi'.ully by so doing? Editor Aull is a private citizen who tries to be law abiding and is always willing to give se every .ne the right t!o express his ar opinion freely. Surely he should be ^ given flie same right. If Mr. Aiken ^ and his private secretary, the editor je of the f'ress andvPanner, know of any .. n j good reason winy ne snouiu urn, piease speak out. ar It is true that Mr. Dominic-k was a defeated for t.ie legislature in this j Sc county some VI years ago. but in that j" t same race Editor Aull was elected. ) so F As to betting on Xewberry county Edi- ! Jo tor Aull is a church member, but not nt uch a sood one that he would hide er In hind a friend if 'he wanted to "bee. | se So if you have anything to put up come J Pr along yourself and not behind some jit friend. I-et's do it in the open like | in men. Vou mav know m re about New- ! nc ! jv'i'y cou nt v than we do.

I Take this rom Kditor Aull: He is going to clo ail he can to bring about at tae election of Mr. Dominick. He is not a going to bo personal in any reference j r-' to Mr. Aiken or his secretary.

In eompa. with Mr. Fred. H. Dom- | ick in his automobile and Mr. J. W. j enderson we went to Abbeville Mon- ! :y lijght to attend the senatorial impaign meeting at that place on uesday. The roads from 'here t3 i-jV/st.ii 1 ^ in Voir* W7 a UUJCvmc ai rr in ic4.ii vviiuitivu. ?? v, j ade the trip via the Dominick place, j udlic, VaugOnville and crissed the j 1111 da at Island Ford, and on by .Nine- j Six to Greenwood. i\Ve "wanted | go to Abbeville any way. It. has j < n a good many years since we ."ed in the old town and there z.ave en many changes not only in the j ipearance of t;:e place but in the j ii;:enship. There are not many failiar aces among the people. We d the pleasure f meeting .Mr. Hug.i ; ' ilson who was at the time we li ed | ' ere editor o: the Press and Banner, i * i is one of ti :e few newspaper men j1 i. South Carolina w:.o accumulated , 1 sufficiency to be able to retire in ' \ I, 5 old age. He looks, however, just I . out like he did when we first met ! I : m any y? ars ag . Abbeville has Jj anged in many respects. There is j : new and handsome court house and j1 new opera house, possibly one of j( e best in the State. Then a cotton . 11 has been built and many other j idences of progress are to be seen, j1 id Uiere is a modern and up-to-date 2 tel and it is run by Mr. W. A. Jamie- ' n who at one time operated the ' swberry hotel. This hotel is first ' iss in every particular. Then on 1 w range in those days were the 1 mes of McGowan and Parker and :rrin and Cothran and Gary. Now ey are not there. Many of them ( >ved away. There is one familiar ^ rner?L. W. White & Co., but Mr. 1 hite is dead but the business is still j * n bv his sons. Time brings many iJ : anges. ] Te political meeting was 'beld in 3 beautiful grove in rear of the court j use. It was attended bv ab-ut j >00 to 1.200 persons many of whom 11 re ladies. All of the speaKers were j ven good attention. Gov. Blease j < ve his time to reading the record j the Richey pardon or parole case, i i < i said he went to Abbeville for thai ! i rpose as many things had been said | ^ut the case which were not true, j I 3 did not do it, he said, in any j nse as an apology or in answer to i ivthing teat may have been said on I e campaign. Senator Smith made 1 i s usual cotton speech. Messrs. | 'nnings and Pollock continued their | ;ra1 snpechps in attacking what thev I rm the records of Blease and Smith j id endeavoring to show t'nat neither le should be elected to the senate, j i ) far as we have heard and read j ey :ave not advanced a single rean why they should be elected. Tvlr. ; nnings took a whack at calling a j -wsuaper editor a liar and some othi ugly tilings. Mr. roiiocK as an on- : t to this paid a high tribute to tiiG c<s including editors and reporters.! seems to us that t.iis thing of sayg ugly things ab ut people ami , ?wspapers by our candidates has j >!io far enough and there should be i fad to it son);-a ;ere.* it seems to ; a.-hionable now if some huinole ter asks a candidate a question for , 0 candidate to hurl back at him:' \ me ugly epithet or to remind him " at .10 has no brains r he would not k a question. Well, we guess it is 1 right or it wouldn't be. * * * I The Abbeville audience gave good tent ion to all of the candidates and liberal share of applause to all of em. The majority we should say oi' j e audience present was against ! lease and for Smith, though those I; sition to know something of the itiment of ti:-- county were of tlie | ?:: 1 i-):? -;i< iv had b< <>n few anges and that the vote would be j .)" v i? ;i tv.'o yv.:g{) ' <>L;l: as and Jones. ^ :jc In the afternoon we drove over to a in Anderson county where a i pleasant afterno n was .spent. The t rops in Abbeville a I on,a ti.'.is road .tri* .;-ry fine and in good condi ion. And it is a i,eauti:u' country. In fact, t , A?1 t 'v IfM . ,Y\/' frnm I V'l I A I . t'UUiUi yjik i?/ i V(i (iiiu I Ml WW i Anderson is a fine section or' South , Carolina. Nice farms and fine country * ! homes. And eood wide roads. ... The governor and Mr. Dominiek ; had been invited .to come by there and ; make speeches in the evening to the mill operatives and the farmers o. that sction o:' Anderson county. The j meeting was held that evening in a | beautiful grove in rhe town and the j meeting was attended by ab lit 1,000 ; people including a number of ladies. ; The governor and Mr. Dominic-k were | both very warmly received and liberally applauded. T.:ere was 110 doubt ! about t/.is being a community strong- j j y supporting rsiease. * * * At Anderson on Wednesday the at:< ndance was not as large as was ex- J ected owing t. the fact that none of :he mills closed down and therefore ! here wore very few of the mil] peo- ; )ie at the meeting, and the seasons j .vcre good and not a great many farm- ! rs were in attendance. lAli the can- : lidates were given a respectful hear-1 ng and liberal applause.

A number of strong mti-Blease people^stimated that the I :rowd present at the meeting was ibout 40 to 45 per cent. Blease while he Blease people claimed the crowd ! ? i 3y about 60 to 65 per cent. Blease. riie mill vote o.' Anderson is about >.000 strong and is said to be 90 per :-ent. Blease and he has also 'had a J arge majority of the farmer vote and ) I nany of tlhese are still with him, though I six years ago they were Smith. People well informed of conditions say | hat there has b^en very little if any change from two years ago when Blease carried the county by about J,400 majority.

This inter-urban is doing much to develop not only the towns ~i this section but the rural districts in particular. We wistf there was some way to get the road extended to Xewberry.
