LET MERIT COUNT.
The candidates for State offi
ces are making their daily
grinds. It is a sort of a monot
onous hum-drum affair with the
probable exception of the con
test for Governor. Candidate
Blease has had the thing pretty
much to himself. The Gover
nor, after the first meeting, went
back to the work in his office
and did not go out again until
the campaigners reached Barn
well. A great many ot Gover
nor Ansel's friends are doubting
the wisdom of his not attending
all of the meetings. It has been
the custom to attend them and
his not doing so gives the oppo
sition a popular club to wield:
then, there are many others who
contend there is no necessity for
a governor to quit the duty he
has sworn to perform to go run
ning about the State seeking
totes for re-election. If his rec
ord is not good enough to rely
upon, then he should lose, and if
it is, he has nothing to fear, as
the people will stand by a true
and faithful servant.
Candidate Blease is a good
stump speaker, a fine politician.
He knows exactly how to please
an audience, and from' the mea
gre reports of the meetings he
has evidently pleased the few at
tending the meetings. They ap
plaud his thrusts at Governor
Ansel's administration and in
Charleston, Blease was the pop
ular idol.
Senator Blease lays much
stress on an editorial from The
News and Courier which showed
it was not the custom to give a
governor a second term, but not
withstanding this high author
ity, we beg to differ and claim
that since 1876 no elected gov
ernor was defeated for re-elec
tion, every man elected by the
people to that high office was re
elected for a second term, if he
was a candidate.
Blease intimates that Ansel
did not vote to give Evans a
.second term: of course he did
not. Evans was elected gover
nor to succeed Tillman and then
when his term as governor was
about to expire he became a can
didate for United Senator, but
was prevented from committing
this crime against the country
by the late Joseph H. Earle and
he has been trying to break into
the Senate ever since, but every
time he has been sat down upon:
defeated by McLaurin and by
Latimer, and we believe he will
be defeated again. The people
recognize there are others in this
State besides the Garys.
The question for the voters tc
consider, has Governor Anse]
done his duty, and does duty
faithfully performed entitle a
man to the people's endorse
ment? It must be remembered
the governor does not make the
laws, he executes them: neither
does the governor make appro
priations or levy taxes-that is
the function of the legislature.
The governor is under oath tc
enforce the laws that are upon
the statute books. Has Gover
nor Ansel endeavored to faith
fully enforce the law? What has
made him so unpopular with the
blind tiger element in Charles
ton and Columbia? Was it be
cause be granted immunity .tc
those engaged in the illicit liqunor
traffic?
THE TIMES did not nor does it
now -approve of the drastic in
junction procedure, we cannot
endorse any proposition which
in its effect deprives citizens of
the right of trial by jury, but
conditions alter things very
much, and if the conditions of
lawlessness are such that the o
dinary machinery of the law is
ineffective, the question arises,
what is to be done, let lawless
ness go unchecked or resort to
extraordinary measures to ac
complish the enforcement of law?
Governor Till man has fre
quently boasted of "making
Charleston dry as a powder
horn." but he was sadly mistak
en, the lawless element laughed
at his armed constabulary and
boasted themselves of buying
them up as fast as they reached
the city. Governor Evans did
the extraordinary by taking
away the right of local govern
ment and forcing a metropolitan
police system, which was as
farcical as the Winchester-rifie
armed constables; theFlilliet sale
went on. The succeeding gover
nors endeavored to put a stop
to the liquor traffic, and none
succeeded then,and will not even
under the injunction system.
There is absolutely no enforce
ment of a law which is obnoxious
to the people of the community.
whether it be Charleston or
Greenville. Governor Ansel has
done his best, and has accomn
plished more in this direction
than any of his predecessors.
Our personal r-elations with
the Senator from Newberry have
always been pleasant, and to his
credit we will say he is trune to
hi frinds We hare not alwas
igree 1 with hii. either in the
Senate and elsewhere, but at the
sametime we regard him a man
Df splendid ability, one of the
best parlimentarians in the State
and a man who has the courage
o) his convictions, and he will
poll a large vote in the coming
primary.

When public endorsement is made

headache sufferer, every man, woman
or child with any kidney trouble will
find profit in the reading.
C. L. McElveen, living on S. Church
St., Manning, S. C., says: "Doan's Kid
ney pills in my case proved to be the
best kidney remedy I ever used. I had
trouble with my kidneys for sometime.
The secretions were too frequent in
action, and caused me to arise many
times during the night. They also con
tained a brick dust sedimont when al
lowed to stand. At times my back would
get very lame and it hurt me severely
to stoop or lift anything. I did not rest
well at night, owing to the aches and
pains and the frequent action of the
kidneys also disturbed me. I finally
read about Doan's Kidney Pills, pro
cured them and they acted just as rep
resented. Since I used them the back
aches have not troubled me, the lame
ness has vanished and I do not have to
arise during the night. I can highly
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills and
acknowledge the benefits derived fro'n
their use at every opportunity."

ESTABLISHED
Twenty-Five Years Ago
Clifferd Seminaro, locaited at Union,
S. C., was established twenty-five years
ago. The institution has, through all
these years, continued without intcr
-uption, and contributed its share to
th' education of the young ladies of
South Carolina.
The number of pupils is limited for
it, is the aim of the management that
each student have the individual atten
tion and personal oversight so assential
to the best training.
Thoroughness in training and the
building of character are aimed at and
not so much the mere showiness of
superficial polish. The school is thor
oughly Christian and the atmosphere
of the home prevails. If you are seek
ig the best training for your daughter
you cannot do better than to send to
Clifford Seminary.
Among other very rttractive features
is the fact that this school is located
in the Piedmont region of South Caro
lina and the climate is as good as can
be found anywhere. Write for cata-f
