Some of the press of the State* seems to have an idea, or rather they would male capital of Gov nor Blease not accelti'ng invita tions to have joint debates with Judge Jones: in his not accept ing, we think the governor Is eminently correct. The head of the Democratic party--the ex ecutive committee-will in due time fix the schedule of meetings whereat all candidates for State offices from governor down will be expected to attend, ald atll these meetings the candidates will be expected to make known t!-e reasons for which they come before the voters to ask for elec tion. The governor being a can didate for re election wi!l be ex pected to give an account of his I stewardship, those who will op pose him, Judge Jones and oth ers, should there be such, will bL expected to show'wherein th?ey are better qualified for the posi- I tion. To have joint debates at this time would be, in our opin ion, altogether unbecoming on the part of the governor of the State, and we go farther, wve do not believe Judge Jones is build ing up sentiment in his ov-n be half in his tour of denunciation it is common report that Jones! and Blease have not liied each other for many years, their anti pathy dates back ~farther' than Blease's election as governor-it is a personal broil betweea them; if this is true, and it has the ear marks of truth, the people will not be influenced much by a man going about the State venting his1 spleen. Suppose Jones and Blease did spftk from the same platform bebre the regular meetings, does anybody think this would not, have to be gone all over again at the campaign meetings? Those who know Cole L. Blease, and; have seen him when he had to go up against bigger proposit'ons than we believe he will have to contend with in a campaign chis! year, believe he will i ot only be fully able to take ca. - of him self, but that he will i;' able tof show his opponents cards and spades in the political game. The voters regard all of this stuff some of the anti-Blease editors are insinuating, the cheap:est kind of rot. At some place~ Jones said, Hampton we think, he "has no feathers on hi is feet," by which we suppose he meant to boast that he was no dung-hill chicken; none o Blease's friends ever charged him with being lacking of nerve; therefore, his boast of bravery was entirely unsolicited: -if his campaign is pitched upon a plane of bull-doeing Blease, the distin guished gentleman will need sonie other kind of dope to keep him going. We do not think there is ee for joint debates at this time 'i--r do we think the friends of th Judge will gain anything by their silly efforts to show that Blease is afraid to meet nim. The people know Blease, they know very little about Jones except what certain newspapers are1 saying about him, some of these same newspapers have not al ways had the exalted opinion of him they profess to have now, but there is this much certain, no man posing as a bully is ever taken into the confidence of the masses, and, when Jones or his. friends intimate that he hi a s frightened Blease so that Blease will not meet him on the hust ings, these people will hav-e some more thinking to do when Blease goes out under the auspices of the great Democratic party of South Carolina, and not as the twitted tool, of a bunch of ene mies, who will not listen to rea son, nor will they permit the use of their newspaper columns to do the man justice. The daily newspapers of this State misrepresented the man two years ago, before he did a single act as governor, yea, from the time he took the oath of of-k . fice they endeavored to lead thek people on a false trail, but for- V tinately the people of this State i, have had their eyes openedt to1 the methods of a certain clic,, and they pay very little atten-j, tion to them. The enemies ofa Blease may twit and slur as much as they like, Judge Jones may run about the State as muuch as; he likes, but it is our opinion that to make the people repudi ate Blease he will have to prove0 corruption on thego'ernor's pan. He will not be able to defea t. him by showing that Ble.se 's enemies are asking for his defeat. but they must charge the gover nor with corruption, and then. prove it. If every voter in the State was given an opportuulty to read the governor's repor t to the legislature giving hin ra sons for exercising his clemency- 1 power,1it would knock into sith- I ereens Judge JIones' cimrge that I the governor abused this now-er.

Both the opposition to the go- C arnor and the guvernor himself I ire rather careiess in their ex- i pressions, neither side exercise I .he discretion which ought to be expected by the public; this con- s lition is brought on by the in- t uarmoniousness between the exe ;utive and certain members of t Lhe general assenibl y who, from :he very beginning manifested a' lecided ill-will; one side would not accept anything from~ the ',ther, with the result, there has' been a constant war between :hemn. A condition like this t should not exist, it is alto::etheri wrong and not calculate~d to be beneticial to the State. There ' fore, it behooves the voters in' seecting representatives to find C nen who are broad enough to ict independent of their personal preferences, and not accordinv :o whether or- not they are sup oorters of the chief executive.1 In the revolution of 189U the >pposition could not see anytWa og good in Tillman. but fortunatel [or Tillman he had elected wjth him a legislature that was not so biased as to fight everything he lavorcd, in fact that body went :o the other extreme, andc sneez ad whenever Tiifimaii took snuff, " aut the next wgt iatur-e was :nade up of stronger material and averything wvent on -smooth. re ;uiting in good legi.slation, and.

Rhame from the office of C ank iE xaminor, and he has also N istitu ted in the same court pro- 1 eedings in the matter of the overnor's appointments of Mag- I .rates and township commis- C ;oners. His action in the Rhamne aso does not seem to be appre- C iated by the governor, who does t ot credit the attorney general :th sincerity. and when thbe case I ready to be heard by the court, i al governor says he will have hie matter presented bv otherk utornea . 1t I oes look a iittle r uar in the attLorney geeral to in- on the Rhame case: it is i ur understandmng that he was t 1'. Rhaimes advisor when the our called upon him to ex t 1n or resign: if he did ad- C ise lhame to the course he has i Akeu, then, we do not see how I e can consistently assume to I epresent the contention of the I uvernor. With regard to Mr. I hame's pay for the month of I larch the governor says Treas i re-r .nnings should have paid t i.s Mr. Rhame is entitled to the I alary and expenses for March. " Just why the attorney general t topped the Mlarch payment by he Tr-easurer we cannot see, but hen, when matters get in a mix o with the lawyers tbere is no I celing the complications which iresult. From the standpoint < > layman the question of hether or not thle governor had I to remove a state officer ould be considered and decided I ithout throwing about it all 1 oanner of legal mysteries, and i oIplications. We havelno hesi- ( eucy in saying that we do not be- ( ieve Mr. Rhame was consciously teglectful in the discharge of his i Luties; somebody was to blame for he Lexington bank doing busi- J iess and receiving deposits from i nocent people, but who is to I ,ame it seems to us should have iln dedinatelv settled before here was any action taken to re ,ove an officer.

There was a >ank wrecked, people lost money it, and so did the State, there i :ere ofticers charged with the 4 upervision of banks, the ques ion then. is why did they not et and thus warn the people of he danger? A FAINT BLOW HIT.

Las the vices The I ltate is expcsing, and that Co-I Umbi is no better than si milr v situatedi cities. So far as the Hieit sale of liquor is concerned he State has only seen fit to xuose the small fry, but it does cot say a word about the big lubs whe~re we have no doubt he law is violated as much orj aore so than? in the little resorts. I f there is no gambling in that ~ ity then it has been misrepre ented, and if none of the resorts ave "'charts" where gambling is one on the races then it seems to s The State has given the wrong aformnation, because if our mem rv serves us correctly that news aper published not so long ago n account of a joint being raid i by the police, and a number ! men arrested for gambling on he races. The State is an enter. rising newspaper and if it can et up a sensation, it is a p~rofit ble venture, it makes the paper e read more eagerly, but, as we ef're said, if Th~le State is in arniest for the mor-al unlift then s good influence would be the ore effective did it do its work ith consistency.

Senator E. D. Smith has scored another victory for the farmers of the South by getting through the Senate his bili re fquiring the director of the cen sus to issue monthly, in connec tion with the ginners report, a statement of the number of bales of cotton used by the manufac turers, the number of bales in stock and the number of bales exported, and to require these statistics to be furnished also tc the department oL* agriculture for publication in connection with the regular cotton condition re ports. The Senator belie.e his bill will become law at this session. Senator Smith has doe voted much study to the cotton prublem anel if .hre is any way by law that thte armers of the2 South can get relief from the discrimination herctofore made against them he is going to find it. There is no doub that con gress has been made to realize the force of Sa:ith's -nowledg of this problem, and t; recognize him as an autiorit y. LOOKS BLUE FOR TAFT. It now begins to look as iH Roosevelt will succeed in thwart ing the renomination of Presi dent Taft, his recent victory ir !several States, notably the Stat of Peunsylvania has had a chill ing effect upon the friends ol Taft and it has given an impetu 1to the Roosevelt boomers. whilE it is contended that Taft was nominated four years ago with out the support of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Indiana, New York and Wisconsin, yet withoul these States this year his pros spect for success is not encour aging to his supporters. ThOSE who study political condition, figure that it is almost impossi ble for Taft or Roosevelt to wir the nomination, however, should either one win it will be impossi ble for the two factions to ge1 together for the campaign o: '1912. If Taft wins the nomina tion the followers of Roosevel1 will not give him the enthusiasti( support that will be necessary to win, and if Roosevelt gets thE nomnination the Taftites canno1 c usistently vote for him, there fore, the ougook for a democratic victory was never better.

The Rock Hill :erald whose cditor says "we iave no use tor Gov. Blease" :barges the committee in charge >f the monument for the women > the confederacy with, "bad aste" in not inviting the gover ior to the ceremonies. The State n reply explains that a general nyitation was extended, a n d 'neither United States Sena.tors ior Governors nor ex.Governors, icither State officials. neither iupreme Coart Justices nor Leg slators received invitations from he commission." The State also :ays the occasion was intended o be "without oflicial or politi :al note." The work of the com nission was well and properly lone, we cannot see any good -eason for thinking the commis :ion guilty of "bad taste" in the east. While Governor Blease vas not sent a special invitation ior was such an invitation sent o the other functionaries of the state, there was as The State says a general invitation given ,o the entire people of the State, vhich in our opinion, was the >roper course. But while on this ;ubject we might mention the act there has been an impres ;ion created to the effect that the omission or some part of it ,Vas opposed to the governor be ng invited to a seat on the stage.

We believe when this ninister learns the truth he will >orrect the erroneous impression ie made by the expressions he ised from the sacred desk about .he governor.

Evolution has played a great part in the history of the golf ball. The first balls mentioned in the chronilcos of the game were made from leather and feathers. A double handful of feath ers was steamed and packed into a small case of leather. The case was then sewed up and painted white, and the feathers in drying expanded and gave the ball resiliency. The next ball was composed of solid gutta percha. but it was heavy, unreliable and was for a time abandoned. One day, however, a player noticed a cad die putting up a creditable game with one of these balls and on closer in spection found that it was very much cut about. Realizing that these cuts and gashes probably accounted for the fine flight of the ball, he commenced hammering gutta percha, and this was the origin of the hand hammered ball. After a time molds were constructed, and balls were produced with the squnare marking. Then came the ball with the rubber core, which gives elasticity, and this type still remains. -Pearson's. Down the Scale. A Knoxville bride is very much in love with her husband and very willing to admit it. She likes to sound his praises to her mother and to her girl friends, which is quite as it should be. She has a number of original expres sions. Whed her husband is good she says he is "chocolate cake three layers deep." When he is very good he is "chocolate cake four layers deep," and so on up the scale. Occasionally, however, things take a turn. The bride's mother dropped in the other day. The bride was a trifle peevish, but her mother pretended not to notice this. "And how is George today?" was her inquiry. "Chocolate cake four layers deep?" "No." "Three layers deep?" "No." "'Two layers deep?'' "No." This with a pout. "Then what is he?" "Dog biscuit!"-Pittsburgh Post. Heard the Same Sound Twice. In the New York Telephone Review is a striking illustration of the speed with which sound travels over tele phone wires as compared with the speed with which it travels through the atmosphere. The manager of a large manufacturing plant in Paterson, N. J.. was standing at the telephone in his residence, which is about two miles from his factory, speaking with the superintendent of the works when the whistle of the factory blew for 1 o'clock. The sound came to him very distinctly over the wire, lasting about five seconds, then ceased, and a few seconds later the same sound of the whistle blowing came to him through an open window near which he was standing, this time -coming via the slower route-the sound waves of the atmosphere.
