On August 26 w are going to bury your kind fac downward so that when you scratc out it will be in hell." No, that is not Governor Bleas speaking. It is what Pollock sai at Lexingtcn. /rhe Record says the heckling re cei.e by Governor Blease at the Cc lumbia meeting was only a sampl to show what could be done if the followed the example of the othe crowd. The Record's crowd woul howl the governor down every day i they had the majority to give ther the power. That's all they lack. If you will take the time to rea over the report of the trustees of th graded schools printed in this issu you will see that the average attend ante of the white children in the cit i.cho Is was 85.6 pev cent, while th nveraee attendance of the negro child i en was SH.3 per cent. It needs n comment. Those who oppose compuj sory education on the specious argu nient that tiie negro will be forced t seno 1 will please make a note of thi statement and these figures. -Mr We learned on Monday that the ed itor ol' the Press and Banner, and Mi Aiken's private secrefary cr clerk o South Carolina iielp, or whatever po of inn he holds, was in town. W looked lor -im but never could locat him. After our most cordial an< courteous and sincere invitation t< visit us and we would take pleasurin extending to fcim the best hospi tality we knew, we are very rauci hurt and disappointed that he did no do us the honor to call. We reall; don't see how we can excuse or for give. So as to prevent the possibility o tl.e election o. a Blease man for gov irnor. The above from the Greenwooi Journal shows the unreasonabl* hatred of the opposition. The Jpurna bia conference to induce several can was writing of the proposed Colum didates for governor to withdraw. No that a good man shall be elected 'bu the one and only aim is to see that n Blease candidate shall be electec Could malignant hatred be deepei Such as that only makes bleas stronger. The Press and Banner and Th Newberry Herald and News are in scrap as to the probable outcome c the congressional race between Aike; and D;minick. The solution of th whole matter is vote for our gooi cousin, John A. Korton, of Belton..-.ibbeville Medium. You are entirely mistaken. Toer is no scrap. The Press and Banne tried to make one, but we decline Everything is too lovely. (The wate is fine and the prospect good. Wh should we scrap. We must say, however, that you "good -cousin" is a fine fellow, and n doubt makes a good banker. We me him !or the first time here on Mon day, and we like him, but this time w are going to elect Fred. Dominick. ~1 -: 1 on<r IiiiitiinPS sav cypeatiiug ui i^iug .??? The Newberry Herald and News: "W were not favorably impressed with th appearance of the man." We thin Mr. E. H. Aull, the editor of The Her aid and News claims to have taugl" To^e. Blease at school; therefore, h is in some measure responsible fo Bleaseism and Blease's record. I view of this we are not surprised ths Mr. Auil was not favorably impressei ? Sumter Heald. You are just a little late in brin? 'ng up this matter, but surely you \vi aec.rd us the right to our own opinio and the right to express it. Afte hearing Mr. Jennings four times mor our opinion is not changed. We ai sorry, but we can't help it. There : nothing personal in it. As to our r< sponsibility for "Blease'' and "Bleas< ism," whatever you may mean, we a: sum-e all that belongs to us. We di teach him and have known him well > since his boyhood and we claim to know something of human nature and " we assert that he is a much better man than many of hi smaligners and we do not like to make comparisons because some authority has said they are odious. L* Elsewhere in today's paper is an 0 - V T U??nl A " eauoriai ir in uie .\e?ucn) nciaiu 9 Ccnd News. Dr. Mcintosh was raised n in Newberry and his lather still lives there. The editor of T-iie Herald and e News, Elbert H. Aull, is the father d oi' the governor's private secretary and is one of Blease's staunchest supporters. No one could speak in higher terms of Dr. Mcintosh's- character than Editor Aull has d ne.? GreenK ville Piedmont, 29th. e! ... TV.at is true and what we said 01 y Dr. Mcintosh is true. We have known r Dr. James H. Mcintosh since he was a boy and we have always known i him to be an honorable and an upn right and truthful boy and man. We know of no reason why we should no: say so. Because we support Govd ernor Blease does not mean that we e should be blind to everything else. In e (hie hnwpver there is no issue jetween Gov. Blease and Dr. Mclny t sh. e If some ol* the editors ?vho oppose Jov. Biease were less blind to partisanship and could see both sides of the shield t:.ey would tne better 0 se rve their State and conditions would je better. The Herald and Xews always tries t; be fair and honest and aever has been the jlind follower of [. .my one. r Il will be noticed that Mr. Manning us thrown his line to windward in e the elimination pond-and says that it e .s necessary to eliminate to prevent i the election of one of the supporters 3 o?f Blease in the race for governor. e So far as we are c ncerned we do t*A o o'Knnf ir haOOllOa WD - ii u L lait CL rsiia ?J a. uuu t IL, UOC ?T ^ 2 are going to vore for one of the six I who are classed as anti-adminisyay tion, and we believe if a little caucus . gets together in Columbia and tries to rule him out that it will help him be.ore the people, who believe in fair j. play, it matters n-t much how they may be divided on :a<ctional lines. We noticed in t:.e State the other day ^ thai a "Voter," a "Patriot"' and Mr. W. X. Gray don all, in the same issue j came out with articles favoring elimi nation, whenever a few men assume to themselves all the patriotism and t all the knowledge of the State they t are very likely to get something 0 knocked into their craniums. /So far 1 as we are concerned -we did not favor . :he Tillman March convention nor the Colleton plan., The Blease convention or conferences held this year :a?ve not been in the interest of any e candidate for governor but to get the a forces together for tne election el" ?f Blease to the senate. The several genQ tlemen who have entred the race for e governor have done so in good faith d and have put up their money and made over half the canvas cf the State and e they are entitled to a fair showing r be.ore the people of the State. Let ; the people rule. That is what the r primary is tor. y This talk of eliminating candidates in the gubernational campaign recalls I* . v. xu _ - Liie siom m uie ncgiu wcwici iu a uw0 tel dining room, who, being told by :t d guest to "just .minate" the eggs, - returned in a few moments and ane nounced that he cook said the eliminator was broke. In South Carolina such an eliminator as it is proposed to use now was broken when the pris mary plan was adopted. The effect e of such a precedure would be to go, e into the primary with a convention. The whole thing is illogical and cannot be done. The primary is the only it 1 r-. P/arolinn enumiaivi nuimug in uuuiii e these days and the people do the 'r operating. Their decision is final and n the man they elect is to be the next Lt governor. There are those who contend that the primary plan is all wrong, with whom, we do not agree, >" but it is certainly )f(ere to stay.?Spar11 tanburg Herald. 1 11 We think you have sized up the >r situati' n exactly correct. This can e ens, or whatever it is, will find that e the "eliminator is -broke.'' If the peois pie of South Carolina have to he told by a few men what must be done and ?- who must be elected to office we just ?- as well do away with the primary right d row. The candidates -themselves a^e not going to submit to any such plai and the people would resent it. Le I the people rule has always been ou J moito. The revolution o:' 1S90 was th | res.ilt ol' a few men trying the run thi polities of the State. The State wil be sa:'e with Richards or Irby o Simms as governor. And any one o the six, four or five of \vhoin they ar ! irvin? ro pliminate would makp a zooi governor. Sit steady in the boat am the people rule, has always been ou in the country is' well posted am knows about as much about politics a seme of these fellows who are meet ing in little caucuses and crying elim ination and has just about as muci or a little more patriotism when th test comes. twrt 7 "> i \* ] /> wnen DanKer inoiwuuu, uieen ville, took it upon himseif to say tha any "educated" man who is supportin, Blease is a "liar and a skunk," h made a serious tactical blunder to sa the least of it. If the banker's pru dence and judgment were equal to th great material wealth that is imputei to him, he would not have made sue a blunder. In the first place the state ment is not true. In the. second placc most men of sufficient reflection an discernment to have made fair pro gress in moral philosophy, hav learned that the epithet is always dangerous weapon, for'its incariabl tendency is to inflict more harm on th nspr nrf it than on the individua against whom it is directed. The again, t'he epithet is not ar^umen and it does not. convince anybody. A to whether practically all of the 71, 000 people who supported Blease tw years ago are suppo-ting him now w dc not know; but if they are, w dare say many of tLem >are educate men of character and we do not fee that we would compliment them if w should say that most of them are abou as good men as is Mr. Norwood. W should certainly hate to feel that th maioritv of the people of South Car olina are liars and skunks, and w simply do not believe anything of th kind. It is quite possible that thi majority is wrong in supporting th present administration, as it may hav been supporting Tillman; but if it i wrong it will never be convinced o the fact by such "argument'' as Mi Norwood is using ?Yorkville >En quirer. That point is well taken. Abuse am ugly peithets never yet convinced an, one of his error, eiven if he had mad an error. The people who are.votini for Blease as a rule are just as tru and brave and patriotic as any citizen who clairft the name in South Carolina Some years ago when the call to pat riotic service was made, they are th people who stood behind the guns am laid down their lives on the altar o their country. Without this servic the captr;,is and the colonels and th generals could have accomplishe nothing. Their names may never b written high on the scroll of fame, bu the man behind the gun is really th patriot who made t\e history of thi country and will ever make it and i is a little unkind, to say the leas ;o have these men denounced a "skunks" and "liars." We are a] South -Carolinians and when the tim conies that tries men's souls, who i the first to meet the test. Look aroun and about you and answer the ques tion. Answer it honestly with youi > self and in the face of your make] Wealth does not make the man. "You dirty coward, you know yo lie." 'This is what Pollock threw t some one in the'audience who spok to him at the Lexington meeting Of course, coming from Pollock an not from Blease, the language is mil and chaste. MME.
