We have not seen mucn aaout uie senatorial race since Congressman Lever came down to South Carolina and gave out the statement that hc? had flung his hat in the ring. He has gone back to Washington, but the Washington dispatches state that he has nothing to say now. We have been looking for a statement from Senator Tillman, but he too seems to be quiet. It appears to us that there must be an underVintnToa Vfr T over ami "Mr Mauuiug ucnitty .ui. uv. v? Tillman that Mr. Tillman will withdraw before the primary, but will remain in long enough to keep any one else from entering so that there may be a clear field between Mr. Please and Mr. Lever. This, wit!r due apology to Mr. Dial and Rev. Mr. Mahaffey, because under existing circumstances and conditions tney are not likely to cut any big figure in the race, though sometimes great changes take place very rapidly and you can never tell what will happen. The Herald and News expects to treat all the candidates fair, and does not intend to play any big part, or even try, in the race. As it ap pears to us, however, those who oppose Mr. Blease antf would go almost any length to encompass his defeat were getting very uneasy about the situation, and were afraid that Mr. Tillman could not defeat him, and in looking around they concluded that if he could be defeated that Lever was the man to do it, and therefore he was urged to make the race. It was not a question of where Mr. -- "Lever could be of the greatest service * ~ * ~ AAimfw of T.O nis OliAlt; anu (.uunu.i uv time, but the uppermost question was the defeat of Blease. Somehow we have an, idea that If Mr. Tillman remains in the race he will poll more votes than Lever. Every one wants in this time to get rid of factional politics and not havt? so much excitement during these trying times, but he always thinks it is the other fellow who is stirring up the strife and should keep out. As we have said, if Mr. Lever was con- j sidering the question of where he could be of the greater service t) his country and State, that he should have remained where he is, because he evidently is a much bigger iacior in the government in congress today than he can possibly hope to be in the senate for years to come, even if he should be elected, which is not at all certain. The fact is we hats to see Mr. Lever permit himself to "be used as he is by those who have never been his political friends or supporters. Mr. Tillman did that very thing some six years ago and now they are paying him back in the same coin, and that is true even if they have made him aaree to get out ~ tj. of the way tor L.ever. n uui Lever they want half so much as they want the defeat of Bleise. But we reckon that is politics and as we do not know much about the game the best thing possibly is to have nothing to say. Somehow we have an idea that the elections this year are going to be surprises to many people. Unless we have not felt the pulse properly the people are not saying much and are not going to- talk much but they ' arf> going to vote as they think. And they are thinking some now. All this talk of having some- one to ^o on the stump this year to defend the administration, and to let know the facts is political vil^ ~ .. and is done for effect. The people of this State are behind the administration and are supporting the government loyally, and will continue to do so, and all the oratory and stump speaking will have but little effect. The samt blood which helped to establish this government and set up this democracy in this western hemisphere courses through the veins of the peoDle of this State today, and will fight for the crovernment just tVusjr- forhparc at Bunker Hill ao uiu giJLVAft vv ?. ^ and the other battles? of the Revolution. And you will find the people pretty well informed as well. Until we are convinced to the contrary we will believe that the Lever announcement was a frame-up in Washington between Mr. Tillman and Mr. Lever, and Mr. Tillman should * remember how some twenty five yeaiv ago he taught the people to smash slates and frame-ups made in Washington, and he may nntf trial they learned the lesson well and sent it on down to their offspring. Since writing the above a gentleman told us that he had information \ from a man very close to Senator Tillman that the senator was in the race to the finish, and that he had no intention of getting out of the way j for any one. If that be true then ! we are in error in our surmises. Anil j it may be true because we admit that ; we know nothing definite about th.? situation, but we thought there could j be no harm in making some guesses j and surmises. Personally we have always been I very fond of Lever and have taken ; a great interest and pride in his sucI cesses, and we just feel that>at thi? time above ail others he should not have been called upon to jeopardize | i * his position of service in the congress ; where he has taken a high stand i among his colleagues. j THE HOG ORDINANCE. - We have not said anything about Hi C IlUg Ui UlliailVt UO |/iauvvu | paper because when we foun?* fhat it j j was incorectly printed we supposed j that the proper authorities would J make the correction. We had writ- l ' ten a statement but before it was .printed the city clerk called us and | said that it should have read a j quarter acre and not a half acre. W-2 were in blissful ignorance of the fact that the . ordinance was incorrectly printed in The Herald and News unt;i told by the health officer. We immediately examined the copy furnish-1 ed us and found that it read a half acre just as we printed it. We told . the clerk that our copy read half | acre. He said he intended to make the correction in the copy but had , overlooked it, and that some weeks, after the publication and after we (had commented on the ordinance. . And after the city had paid for the Dublication. It is not fair to us to have us print an official document , over the signatures of the mayor ami \ clerk incorrectly even if the town does > pay for it. i ! We suppose that the clerk does not, s on/i Vows and in ad reau ine .nciaiu uuu dition to making the statement th&t according to a phone message from the clerk that the ordinance should read a quarter acre as the minimum for a hog in town, we want to ex- j press our regret that the clerk does read The Herald and News, and to say that surely he does not realizo that he is missing a whole lot of mighty good stuff that would be helpful to him in these days of strlss and . trial and be consoling and comforting as well. In fact we do not see how he can live in this good town without reading it. ? AN ERROR. *| I ! In justice to Mr. E. E. Child and ourselves we desire to sav that Mr. Child's name should not have been signed to that letter or article about , Whitmire and the Boy Scouts in regard to what that town had done in , the Liberty Loan drive. Mr. Child wrote us and furnished the data and to keep from copying the names anl the amounts we used his letter and failed to mark out his signature. The balance of the article was written by the editor. And we take pleas r fnr* thn lire in assuming re?punmun.v complimentary remark about Mr. Child in the article. He is a whole team when he puts his shoulder to the wheel in any <rood cause. And we said it and mean it. j 1 The Sumter Watchman and Southion in speaking of a visit to that city of Col. X. B. Dial candidate for the T'nited States senate says that Mr. D''a) will liven up the State campaign tht cominsr summer. That 4,he will go after Tillman with gloves off, and : will use a meataxe on Blease?ana now that Lever is in the running he will di? up an appropriate weapon i for him." Well, while Mr. Dial has ; never been a candidate for State or national office or an office seeker h? is a good campaigner and will no doubt give some zest to the canvas. But you didn't say what he would do r for the Rev. Mr. Mahaffey, who is also in the running. ' Peanuts should bo considered | among the seeds to be planted at i this time. They are scarce and you do not get as many in the bag as you : did ten years ago for a nickle. ,! So delivers Farmer Gossett of ths Tugaloo Tribune.
