WHAT GOVERNORBLEASt HAS DONE FOR NEWBERRY AM) WHAT HE (MX DO AS A SENATOR. Wfc* the People of Newberry County Should Support Their Own Sob* Ediior The Heraid and News: Hope you are not getting tired of my pieces. If so, say so, and I shall stop. But I want to write one ni(/;e before Die election of the 25ti, :aad this is my last chance. i \ 1 have seen what you halve been saying about sticking to home peop!e. I endorse every word of it, esI pacially when our home men have sense and ability. I always vote for my ftome men, even waen I have dif| fered with them in county matters. We ougint to want to help our home people. They help pay our taxes, help B $ keep up our schools and churches, give to the poor of the community, trade with our nterchants, buy chic| kens and eggs from our farmers, and I some day our home people will help P to bury us. The man from over yonder in another county w"ho doesn't i triATTi no on/l tiovor fnmpc ritwnt H-R except when he wants our votes, will k laugh at us ifor voting against our home man, for.ha expects us to vote for him, and won't be mad if we do. Cole. L. Blease is a home man. He I was born in this county, and has always lived in Newberry till toe people j of the State told, him to go live in the mansion in Columbia. Of course, some people don't want him to live in Newberry I guess it is because he [ can't be bossed by them. Some day they will see their mistake, and will wish they had not fought Colie so hard. Some of them didn't even want him to vote in his old club in Newberry. Now, that won't do. Let us 'ayaside our prejudices and work for Newberry. It won't be long before some otber men in Newberry county will be running for big offices, and then tf:ey will cry out, "Newberry people must help me." They had. better mind what they are doing pow, for ^some Newberry people may re member their acts. But I will vote for tLem, and I "hope to have another Xe^'berry man to vote for for governor soon. We have some who may ran, and they may have a good chance. I could name several. But what about Col. W. H. Hunt, Dr. Geo. B Cromer, Mr. John M. Kinard, Prof. S. J. Derrick? TK:ese are strong men, and t.e peopl-e may call them some day. Newberry has onjy had one governor. "We must have another befnrp Triflnv vears. And I like a Newberry governor and a Newberry United; Stales senator. But I am told that Newberry has never had a man in the United States senata. And t':is has been a county for a Ions:, long time. Ii we miss this good chance we may not have one in many years. But I am glad I beiieve we will not miss it. If Governor Blease gets to the senate he can help Newberry county and many of her people. He has helped ~ 1 < ? >10 Vl CJ C VlAPTI 0"AV <X iUli U? Oiuvv **v WW? 0? . ernor. Just look .vhat lie has done for Xewberry people. He has given more appointments to them than to any ot:ier county. About seven men liave been appointed to places on his military staff. / Scleral Newberry men have been appointed as delegates to big meetings, both in the State ano to other States. There are so many of these I can't remember item all, and wont't try to name any, for fear of leaving out some. All this advertises our county though, ana let people know Newberry, S. C., is on tue map. Two men from Newberry have been appointed regents of the State Asylum, one on the State hospital commission, one on the State Penitentiary board, a Newberry lawyer appointed as a pecial judge, another Newberry lawyer appointed to sit as a judge of the supreme court. A Newberry physician has been appointed by the governor on the hoard of the State Medical College. .About ten men from this county have been appointed as State const bles. One man has been made an asV sistant bank examiner. One young man of tTnis county is State electrician, appointed by Gov. Blease, and he offered the position to another Newberry man firs*. ^i:o declined it. Through Governor Blease three young ladies, all daughters of widows, have been given employment in the engrossing department. The fireman at the State house is a Newberry boy, and another Newberry boy had a job there till he gave it up for a better one. He took a little Newberry boy to Columbia as his private secretary. And I am glad that all tJhese Newberry men and hm*c hmvp ma rip srood. for they have helped to advertise Newberry, and I am glad Governor Blease gave them . tne chance to show what Newberry has. Taen see flow a} ways advertises Xewberry. He ! " ay? tell people what ;i good town and what a good county it is. And when the fire boys go off to their ' tournaments, there our governor is to lelp and encourage th^ Xewberry boys. And although he has been living in Columbia for nearly four years, Governor Blease still stands by his people here, and stays in touch with tbem. 'He hasn't moved his c'nurch mpmhprshin he hasn't moved his : membership in a single secret der ne belongs to, although the Columbia ! people would have been glad to get him into theirs. And Cole L. Blease will always stick to old Newberry, where the people har.e "honored him and showed their love for him. When he gets to Washington, he will get more jobs .for Newberry people. Of course, they will be his frrends. You don't expect him to 1 * 1X * ? J/N/xiiV. 4/\ rr/~vf nlopDc ! worry nimsen 10 ucaiu uu for people who run around cursing him and fighting him, do you? Oh. but some one will say, "Well, 'he ; hasn't given me a job." Perhaps that j is true. Friend, the reason he didn't is because there were more people \ than f'.iere were jobs. Ete hasn't gven ' 0"* T om nnt Ttlitfi T am j lilt? <211 > . UUl L Ci U. uvv . . j glad that he did give them to Newberj ry people though, to people who need| ed the jobs worse than I did, I expect, | although 1 am pretty poor. I am glad ! that "ne let all these Newberry men | and boys have these jobs, for they bring much of their money back to Newberry to spend. And I want to see * ^ pvprv dollar 1 can spent in Newberry. "Some of it may reach me. It won't ! reach me if spent in a county way off j from Newfrerry. Some day Col*. Blease may get to | be president of the United States. ! Now, some of you are laughing. I ! see you. Yes, and you laughed when he started to running for governor, j didn't you"? And many a man Oias be! come president the United States who was laug'. ed at long before he got there. I expect they laughed at Wood row - Wilson when he was a young man. I have read how they laughed at Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. And>ff Oolie gets to be president; as I believe he will, then just watch out for the Newberry people wuo will say, "I helped him. He is | from Newberry, my home county, my home town." When 'he is president he will sure have good jobs to give o-a-av t i>m oroine to wait for one of them, and I beleve I will get t. Yes and every Blease man in Newberry ; county who wants one. Has Senator Smith helpe# Newberry men? Has any one else helped them like Cole. Blease? Shouldn't Newberry people help our home man | ?our Colie. Now. another thing. Lf Cole. Blease goes to Washington as senator, he 1 wil. -e'p Newberry with its mail ser1 vice and things like that. He will I know the county and know what the ! ->eople need and want. Before his js?a Drncnoritv and Whit Iirsi ItTI ill 13 UUl, x luuyvi.v,, ; mire will have government postoflices, nice buildings, I am willing to bet, for Colie can get whatever he goes after.' If Colie goes to Washington, you | i won't mind writing him what you ! want to say to him, it will be like | ! writing to a friend, to some one you ! know, to a home boy. You can say, i 1 "Dear Colie," and he will like it. And j 'e will go rigut around and attend ! a- ?nront ,>i i m trs H A fnr vnn I iO V\ licit JUU ^ aui Uiui \.\J uv ?. And see how many government books I and public documents he will get placed in the pubMc schools of this county. Has Senator Smith put any in your school in the past six years? I haven't heard of any. There are some things T want Xewberrv voters to thir.k about before j they vote againsi Colie next Tuesday. Think aK>ut it Sunday, talk about it to your wife and children. I am not a smart man. I am only j plain cotton mill man, Who has been ! a farmer, but I am writing how things I look to me. L. A. Tew. i ^ BALK JENNINGS IN GEORGETOWN [ (COOTIN'UED FROM PAGE 1) The governor warned that the little town of Andrews was likely to be ini corporated into Berkeley county. Today the governor received a lovj ing cup from friends in Georgetown ] county, which cup was delivered by I the mayor. He also received a goldi headed cane and two b mches of flow- j 1 ers. Want >'o Criticism. The crowd promised the mayor that I Senator Smith would be allowed to ! speak if he did not attack the govj ernor. "But ihe'll get his too if he attacks him." Senator Smith made no reference whatever to the governor as usual. He was listened to attenI v and mflrfp rvrip of his most pffect- I ; ive speeches of the campaign.
