Gratuitous Criticism.
However unwelcome the news ,
may be to his many friends.
Governor Blease will have to
walk the plank to private life at
the expiration of his present
term. A number of North Caro- !
lina papers have said so, and that |
settles it. There is no second-!
term or senatorial hope for the
governor; he is serving his first
and only term as chief executive,
and if lie ever thought that the
fates might award ,him a seat in
the United States senate the Tarheel
papers which have been
pouring editorial hot-shot into
him have convinced the fates that
such a procedure would be unwise
and indecorous. More's the
pity, since there undoubtedly is
some very important at-home
business to which the North Carolina
papers might turn their attention.
There was. for instance.
an alleged trial held at Whiteville,
N. C., last week in which
the defendants, husband and
wife, were accused of murdering
a young medical student. The
jury said the accused did not
murder the dead man. The
woman in the ease admitted that
she shot the student a dozen
times, more or less, and it seems
that he died from the effects of
the wounds. FJut she wasn't
guilty, because she shot to protect
her honor! the honor of a
woman who tried to persuade
her victim to floe the country
with her after she was lawfully
married to another man. It
might be well in passing to suggest
that the North Carolina
papers which have been so profuse
in their criticism of Governor
Blease could render the
country service of greater importance
by trying to create
respect for human life in the 01(1
iiuiui ouuf niveau 01 oiiering
the people of a sister Commonwealth
a lot of gratuitous advice
about what they should do in a
political way to their governor.
Bailey Won't Do.
It is somewhat singular that a
man of the rugged honesty usually
attributed to Senator Tillman
should fall so completely under
the hypnotic influence of Senator
Bailey. No later than Saturday
the senior South Carolina senator
found occasion to reiterate
his warm admiration for the
Texan as one of the ablest men
in public life, observing the while
that to Senator Bailey should be
entrusted the Democratic leadership
in the senate. There are
perhaps few who will take issue
with Senator Tillman's statement
that Senator Bailey is an
able man. In truth, he is an
intellectual giant; but intellect is
not the only prerequisite to leadership
such as Senator Tillman
would entrust to him. The interests
of the Democratic party
in the senate should not he
placed in the keeping of a man
whose honesty of purpose would
be questioned and whose choleric
tenrperament is unpardonable, albeit
he may be as able as Calhoun
or Webster. Senator Bailey
has been tried in the national
house of representatives as the
Democracy's leader, and he led
to disaster. The same thing
would happen to the party in the
senate should its interests be
placed in his hands. Furthermore,
the country remembers
very distinctly indeed the unsavory
Waters-Pierce oil scandal
in which Senator Bailey figured
a few years ago. By allowing
himself to become the attorney
of the oil trust while pretending
to give his best service to the
country, he lost the confidence
of the American people. No
greater mistake could be made
than to select him as the party
leader in the senate, for the people
would view his every act with
suspicion and distrust. Not only
should Senator Bailey not be put
forward by his colleagues in such
an important capacity, but for
the good of the party and the
welfare of the country he should
be kept in the background as
much as possible. It will be a
happy day when Texas refuses
to return Bailey to the senate.
Some School Board Advice.
Within the last week there has
been received by The Times from
the corresponding secretary of
the State Teachers' association a
copy of a resolution which he
says was passed by the State
board of education advising the
trustees of the public schools to
grant to teachers two days' vacation.
with pay. so that the teachers
may attend the spring meeting
of the State Teachers' association.
With equal propriety
the State board might have extended
its excursion into the Held
of advice by suggesting that the
trustees furnish pocket change
for the teachers and pay their
railroad fare and hotel bills. Taking
the cue from the State board,
we shall proceed to do some advising
on our own account: A
mistake would be made to close
the schools for the teachers'
meeting: the game isn't worth
the candle. But there is something
more to be said of the
"advice" of the State board. It
occurs to this paper that the niom !..%

tor employment advising anions
themselves about the burdensome
conditions they allow to continue
by the frequent chanpes of textbooks
in the public schools. The
Times does not father the statement.
but it does not hesitate to
publish it that the belief is general
throughout this section that
somebody is acting dishonestly
with the patrons of the public
schools in this matter.
A? To Campaign Linrs.
It is an easy matter for the
editor of a newspaper to print
the statement that the campaign
liar is abroad in his county, but
if the same editor were called
upon to name one man whom he
considered such a character he
would not dare do it. York
county is perhaps as free of campaign
lyini>- and dishonest elections
as any county in the State
and it is nothing short of willful
misrepresentation of the facts to
state that there is in our midst a
latere class of people who deal in
such rotten poods. The Fort Mill
community is no bettor and no
worse than the other communities
of the county and we have
not heard of any campaign liars
setting up for business here.
When you hear of a York county
man being lynehed for lying or
hustled to hades for hypocrisy,
investigation of the circumstances
probably will disclose the
fact that his offense did not grow
out of a political campaign.
Would Save Republican Bacon.
To get to the meat of the matter
without wasting words, the
rushing of American troops to
the Mexican border is a desperate
effort of the national administration
to save the bacon of the
Republican party in the presidential
election next year. Evidently
President Taft sees the
handwriting on the wall and
hopes to avert the impending disaster
by working up a little war
with Mexico to divert the mind
of the people from the broken
promises and general inefficiency
of his party. The trick planned
out for the McKinley administration
in PHM) as a result of the
war with Snain. hut it i* hont.t t'nl
whether the people can be led
into the same trap again.
Two Political Predictions.
Senator B. K. Tillman will not
enter the Democratic primary in
11)12 as a candidate for reelection.
In the race which he says he
will make for Congress against
Mr. Finlcy next year. Both Butler
will get less votes than he
got last year.
There are too many special
courts in South Carolina and when
the matter comes to a show-down
at the ballot box the governor's
position will he upheld.

Hork Hill Buggy Co., Roek Hill, S. ('.
Gentlemen: Knowing that you an- int?-? -stI in hearing praisi s *ung regarding
your buggies, I doom it my duty to writ. you relative t? a Hoc-k Hill
buggy I ant now running.
This buggy was bought in Hawkinsville, (la., 1*? years ago, and it has
been in constant use since. During this time it has been run to Hawkinsville
live or six times a distance of 2'MJ miles each trip. I never had any repairs on
this job until last year.
Your "Long Distance" axle lasted through th?- whole service of the buggy,
and the springs did likew ise.
It has always been the lightest running and sisiest ruling buggy I have
ever ridden in, and the wheels you use can't be beat.
1 gladly volunteer this testimonial as 1 am confident you merit it by
making what 1 honestly believe to ne the best boggy made.
Your buggies are "A I.ittle Higher In l'riee But " far sufx-fior to any
I have ever used.
Wishing you continued success, and assuring you I am a "Rock Hill"
booster from conviction, 1 am. Very truly yours,
