The Majority Should Rule.
During the past session of the Legis.
lature, there was a great deal said
about tightening up the prima ry sys
tem of South Carolina, and several
bills introduced for that purpose and it
my memory serves me correctly I think
in each of these bills It would ;be re
quired of the voter to have a tax re
ceipt, at that time I could not under
stand why a man should be required
to present a tax receipt to vote in a
primary election. Now 1 can see it in
a differentaway.
We have a candidate now for gover
nor, who says he is in favor of the poor
man being exempted from taxation,
now if you please put these two move
ments togetner, and what do we see,
we find one man in favor of exempting
the poor man from paying taxes, then
we jind others who want a tax receipt
exhibited before a man be allowed to
vote, therefore, if the poor are exempt
ed from taxes, they have no tax receipt;
can we vote?
I believe I would voice the sentiment
of the majority of the white people of
South Carolina, iflIwas to say we pre
fer to pay a few dollars taxes, and be
accorded the same privileges at the
ballot box, the then called rich would
While we have seen enough of this
litical world to know all our officers
onot see things alike, and favor the
same thing, for we have a governor
now who is in favor of a two cent flat
rate on all railroads, and in favor of
preventing white people teaching in
colored schools, etc., and we had law
makers In the legislature this year who
was not willing for these measures to
come to a vote, let alone to become
law.
With such divisions made as above
mentioned, we hope for peace and
harmony to prevail in this Christian
land of ours. No, I think laot, in my
humble judment there is only one way
for the people to get together. aind that
i this, while I know all cannot. or will
not vote for the same mau for any office,
but when the majority expresses their
will I think it is time then for the
minority to submzit. ir not I do no.
know wnat the word Democracy means.
To make my arigument plain, say I
will vote for John for governor and
another fellow votes for Jim, and John
is dfeated and I am disappointed, and
Jim is defeated, and the other fellow
successful in seeing his man victorious.
If I am a true Democratl will accept
Jim as my governor and hve the same
respect for him I would have had for
Jon. for I am no better to be disap
pointed than the other fellow.
For after all the shouting and hurrah
for this man and the other man is con
cerned, as to who is elected to any
ofice. so far as dollars and cents and
favo's is concerned, it is like the good
book says, there is no difference.

music of Schumachers band from Sum
ter added zest to the occasion. Froni
early morning to about the noon bour
all roads leading to town were throng

ment of $100 to the city, subject to th
proviso that he shall serve out hi
term, if be is ever again convicted c
selling or handling liquor in any fort
or is convicted in some other Stat
and brought back to this State.
It was known that efforts were be
ing made to secure Hogan's pardo
and the news that a parole had bee
granted came as something expected t
many of the people of Sumter. Th
opinion of those heard discu.sing th
matter seemed divided. Many seemei
to think that the sentence was too se
vere for the offense and that a paroll
should have been granted. Other
seemed to think that Hogan shoul
have served out his term, or at leas
served out more of it before a parol
was granted.
It is oot known whether steps will b
taken by the city to oppose the actio1
of the governor, as was recently th
case in Dillon. Mr. Clifton, the at

case was out of town, and Mayor Jen

Joe Hogan Paroled by Gov. Blease.
Joe Hogan, convicted in the Record
er's Court on one hundred counts of vi
olation of the dispensary law, was this
morning released from the county jail
by sheriff Bradford upon the receipt of
a parole from Governor Cole L. Blease,
who had been presented with a petition
from citizens of the county asking that
the parole be granted and upon the in
tercession of Mr. R. 0. Purdy.
This case is one of the most interest
ing liquor cases which nas ever come
up in this State and has created a
great deal of comment all over the
State because of the extremely large
fine -or sentence of imprisonment im
posed upon the convicted man. The
case came up before R. Dozier Lee,
Recorder, in Febrony 'v or March, 1913,
and Hogan was convicted on three cas
es of the thirty-three cases, and, upon
an understanding between the attor
neys in tho case, he was to plead guilty
to the rest of the cases, if found guilty
on the three cases which would be re
garded as test cases. The case was later
appealed from the Recorder's Court to
the Circuit Court because of the fail
ure of the Recorder to have witnesses
affix their signatures to their testi
mony at the time it was taken. The
case was remanded to trial in the cir
cuit court, but overruled in the Su
preme C"ourt and the Recorder sus
tained.
Upon the receipt of the decision of
the Supreme Court, Hogan was taken
to jail. This was on the 7th of Janiu
ary and he has been in jail until Friday
morning, just three months and ten
days. The parole was received last
night by Mr. Eugene Hogan. the fath
er of the convicted man, and he paid
the fine of $100 and Joe Hogan was re
leased on order of the sheriff.
The petition for Hogan's pardon
were circulated about the city and
county for several weeks and were re
cently sent to Governor Blease. They
contained about a thousand signatures,
some of the names affixed being of the
promisent men of the city.
Mr. R. 0. Purdy recently visited
Gov. Blease concerning the granting of
a pardon, acting as a private citizen.
At this time Gov. Blease asked what
recommendation be, Mr. Purdy, would
make. Mr. Purdy upon his return to
Sumter had a conference with the Re
corder concerning the matter of a par
don. A copy of the Recorder's letter
could oot be obtained, but in substance
it stated the facts in the case and that
the Recorder thought that the time
had not come to consider the granting
of a pardon. He did not consider that
Hogan nad yet served a sufficient part
of his sentence to take up the matter of
pardon, although steps might be taken
at some future time to secure the par
don. The letter was sent to Mr. Purdy
and was transmitted to Gov. Blease
with Mr. Purdy's letter of recommen
dation on the case. Mr. Purdy's letter
follows:
Hon. Cole L. Blease, Gov.
Columbia, S. C.
Dear Sir:
I hand you herein the h.me
petitions in the cases of the City of
Sumter against Joe Hogan. I enclose
you also the reply of R. Dozier Lee,
Esq., to my letter to him of the 11th
inst. a copy of which I requested sent
from the office to you at the time of
writting to Mr. Lee, and I have no
doubt that you have received such
copy in due course of mail. Mr. Lee's
letter speaks for itself.
It is difficult to make a suggestion
which will meet the requirements of
this case in all of its aspects. Having
undertaken, as a citizen, to suggest
that clemency in this case would be
proper on your part, and having been
asked by you to make some suggestion
as to the proper disposition of the case.
I suggest the following:
1 That you meake an order commut
ing the unexpired term of his sentence
to one year, and relieve the fine entire
ly, except as herein stated.
2 That you require the payment of
one hundred dollars to the City of
Sumter, and that upon such payment
the defendant be paroled during good
behavior, and if again convicted in
any court in this State for selling li
quor, that he be remanded to the coun
ty jail of Sumter County for the unex
pired term of one year.
Upon payment of $100, that he be re
leased on parole. Of course if he fails
to pay the $100 he will have to serve
out the one year, to be released within.
that time upon the payment of the $100.
You will be able to pus your views in
fewer words, if you adopt the sugges
tion here made. In any event, I ap
prehend that both you and I will not
feel free from criticism.
I do not think that a condition should
be that he would leave the State.
While I think that would be the bests
thing for him to do voluntarily, yet I
do not recommend this as being com
pulsory.
I saw the defendant on Saturday,I
but had then reached no conclusion aI
