He writes a lono- letter j ^ to the people of South Carolina and i l n sttaeks R. A. Cooper and Cole L.: lease and tries to make it appear i that John K. Aul'I gave out. informa-; . tion from his office while secretary i t V?

We did not vote for Cooperj j two years ago. but we have known i him very intimately for several years ^ and we do not*believe that he is any j ^ "c? the things that Mr. McLaurin | charges. We have always found him j . a high toned honorable man. If he j fcad been given an honest deal and ; f, a fair count we believe he would have j ., declared the governor four ! years a2:0. We have felt that the Manning crowd used him two years ^ ago to defeat Blease, hut whet'Vfc? or x rot it was with lis consent we d> _ ; P not know and do not say. ; ^ As to the charge that Mr. Blease ! ,, I 1 made a proposition to him to sell out j the Democratic party and run as an j independent wa do net know anything j farther than what M". McLaurin says ' but we would want further evidence | before taking his statement, because j "v to be frank, we do not believe it. t; From M- own statement ;t annear^ ; " that be did everything that he could, i ~ fa?r and unfair, and to the^ extent of 1 feigning' friendship to catch Bleas? ? in a trap and that he failed. * ! n Av fr> his statement that John An 11 : fc vioMed anv trust or betrayed any confidence or used his position as vr Vs confidential clerk to carry news I cr tn Co-oner or to Blease we know that 7 f f ,j5 "pot .T^T-w-I A:i]l ~ ' n?*t raised that way. and we know tMt ^e wo'ild not violate ?nv confj-' dene* that was entrusted to him while thQ po'1 ^den*^ ^'erk o^ \Tr 1 ) >?rLanrin or ar.v on? else. and as to Vs ro^Ter?at-on with Caners which ir McLanrin intini^tes was ?i effort to r* ironev to r^n ^n independent " we (in not. believe that.

Would an honorable srentle-i s< yuan do a th'*Tt?r lilve that? If so it j ?< H not the school of honor in which j K wa were trained nor in which John s Aull was raised. "Rut the tri>k didn't! a ^ork. aor-or^insr to his own statement. j e He says the conies were carefully j 11 filed hv Anil and that the o-!ariral> 0 were torn no. If anything could be j ? smaller or low^r or dirtier or more j ? contemnti.hle than what YeLaurin j -1 here rebates that he tried toN lay a.r fr^n for tbp man lybo was his con- j ? olPT-k. and who sunoosed i 0 McLaurin was h*s friend, we ran not i jms.ein0 5t unless it be the statement | ^ that.

Nor did he betray any con- ^ fidence. But what do honorable gentlemen think of the man who would r rse it in this connection? ? WcLaurin s own statements s::ouid condemn him before an inteH's-ent reoDle. He says he sold out to Please to get the wareb-vise bil' N through and then he sold Blease out when be tho-isht he did not need liim ^ any ledger. He -^as in Blease's of- T f5^e consented to his name being ^ placed on the Republican ticket and . tvar, /Tif.hdr-ew ft jp order to catch s Blease. and then he sold out. anc* he (behaved the confidence of his con- , n fldentia! secretarv. What else lov~ ' a could he do. Who withdrew the name i s of Blease from iaat ticket? It did not appear .as we recall. Yet Mc- t Laurin says from the housetop that II be believes in a fight in the open ^ Wh-t so"t of fight do*s he call this ^ he says he was waging? He made T"? heliev? Mors: shout, that time that he was John Anil's friend, and we wonld have trusted hiiTn t"> sny lensrth. I r. And "we admit the revelations in this , e i stter to the people come to us in the hr.pe of a shock. If the statements a his letter do not reveal the basest ind of a simulating friendship then re do not know how to interpret the English language. As to the political aspect of the etter we happen to know that some ime Dacx in lyi-i AicL.aurm auenaea , Blease conference and made a peech praising what he called the fccform party, and then when he w$s lot chosen as their candidate for;overnor he went over to some other ide, and now he is playing to catch he vote of the anti-Blease folk ana rying to destroy Cooper. Why he imself admits that he first supportd Blease when he thought he needd him and then when he did not and brought he could use Manning ft?, rpported him. The fact is he never tays hitched anywhere, or stands D7ig hv any one. however mu-ch he lay feign friendship. The upshot of whole matte? will be whsrt h? nds that his dodging around will mn on serve his purpose he will withraw from the present race fo? govrnor. and we predict that he will u > iat v?ry thins before the campaign ; ended. The above was written before w-~ aw the replies cf Coorer, >BIeasend Anil nrinted in the Monday na. ers. They are too Ions for us to andle today but will he printed in tie Friday paper.

Mr. Lever has protested to Mr. Foover that the regulations with refrence to the grinding of wheat, re cent-y promulgated ".:>y the food administration ought not to apply to thy so :th. rT55 reasons are that the south, especially states like South Carolna. have no elevators or other arrangements for making a commer*' cia! commodity of wheat on a large scale, and conditions in this section are so different from those in the regular wheat growing sections, that rules that are perfectly proper in one case are totslly inadequate in the other case.?Yorkville Enquirer. In this position Mr. Lever is absr>' lutely correct. The farmers down in this state do not raise enough wheat ' for t-T'r 0^7"; rse. And some of them live a long way from a wheat mill an l 'it would be bad business to force them to grind what little wheat they have in dribbles, and then they have no way of saving the wheat like they ha"e in wheat growing sections. Yv'e may have five or six bushels of wheat and at the present rate of eating wheat bread that will make flour enough to last us for a whole year, and why require us to have two or rip f T* V) C | o r\r Vqt +y\ 11 7i p \'f* this little grinding done, and when re as re r.o way of taking care of and sav'ni the wheat as we could the ground four..

Clark, of Er.oree, formerly of >ibin*rdon, Va.. who is a former Confederate soldier, and is now 73 years of age. has bought and paid for $200.00 worth of War Savings Stamps. And he has done this our cf wages amounting to SI.50 per day. Mr. Clark's example is one that is pointed to with pardonale pride by the War Savines Club of that town, for *'t show* th?t nre and small earning caparity do not interfere in the least witli a man's patriotism. Many others at "FTnoree w;!* do well to follow the fine example set by this old gei?tlemaa, who is doing his part to win tho war that find? him too old to a-gain shoulder his musket. It is not surprising to know that ) : the employees of Enoree are buying liberty War Savings Stamps.?Spartanburg Herald. ; That is fire and it only d^mon strates what onn do if we make nr. t our minds to do it. At the meeting at Chappells on ; Friday afternoon we had a similar ! case which is worthy of special menj tion, and it was not done for the puri pose of having the mention made, j because ,the gentleman is not that ; kind, but is at all times humble and ! honest and sincere in what he does, j and he did not know there was a ! newspaner man anywhere near the j place. But we stopned there on our j return trom name jusi as in? meetj ing was near its close and did not go i in, hut could hear very well what | was going on. We sunoose he hafl already bought some saving stamps, but the township was within $1400 of its allotment, and an effort was being made to raise that amount, and j it was soon raised. Mr. J. R. Trvin i said he would take $100 of the amount J and stated tnax ne naa given an ins j property away and did not pay any j tax and had cnly his daily earnings, j hut that he would pay the amount ; from them, and he is a Confederate vrt iivTi an<i mO'-c than 7." y.-:ars old.
