B!ease and the Militia.
^B The reason pivon by Governor
V Blease for refusing to allow the
W State militia to take part in the
manouvres t<> be held in Augusta
I a few days hence doubtless is j

fore they agree that he is acting:
wisely or in their interest. It
will he recalled that it was the
purpose of the War Department
to hold the manouvres at the
Die of Palms, but the order for
the encampment at that place
was cancelled owing- to the
differences which arose between
the Governor and the Secretary
of War. On the heels of that!
incident comes the refusal of the 1
Governor to consent to the i
militia going to Augusta for the !
encampment. If the Governor <
feels that he is embarrassing the '
War Department in this matter,
he is mistaken. He is injuring
himself politically with the
militiamen and many of their
i nenns arm we suspecr tnar1
when the votes are counted in
the race which he is making for
the United States Senate, if
there were any way to identify
the ballots of the militiamen!
most of them would bear uneraced
the name of E. IX Smith. 1
About the only compensation the !
militiamen get for their services
as such is the annual outing pro- j
vided by the national govern-;
ment at the manouvre camp. To j
be deprived of the outing for no :
better reason than that oifered
by the (lovernor is enough to put
t he militiamen in a bad humor;
with him.
Why Sulzer Lost His Office.
The last issue of The Protest-i
ant Magazine, published in
Washington. 1). C., contains aj
news-editorial article relative to1
the impeachment, last year, of
(lovernor Sulzer, of New York,
which places the matter in a
different light to that which is
generally accepted as the reason
tor depriving the Empire State
executive of his ottice. The
Protestant flatly charges the
Roman Catholic hierarchy with
the impeachment of Governor
Sulzer and gives as the reason,
for this organization's attitude
toward Governor Sulzer his refusal
to sign a certain bill passed
by the General Assembly placing
the entire control and direction!
of the public school system of,
Hew York City in the hands of i
the Romanists, to disrupt or conduct
in the interest of the
undeniable effort they are prose-1
outing to* "make America Catholic/'
Governor Sulzer would not
sign the bill; instead, he vetoed
it?in the lace of the hierarchy's j
threat that if he did so he would
sign his own indilual ucath warrant.
With a Catholic General
Assembly behind it. the hierarchy
knew what it was at>oiit when it
made the threat: Governor Sulzer
lost his otlice. and was
succeeded in the Governor's
chair by a Romanist. But the
school hill which cost Slllzer his
oftice is not yet on the statute
hooks of New York. Since the
papist deprived Sulzer of his
office a new General Assembly
has been elected which does not
receive its politico-religious inspiration
from the Italian on the
Tiber. If the General Assembly
of New York which stole the
Governorship from William Sulzer
is representative of New
York Democracy, we trust that
State will never again go Demor?
t-i! * j- i-J
ctawc. uepuuucanism is oaa
enough, but Romanism is ten
time3 worse. Meanwhile, every
true American who can afford to
do so should send a dollar to
The Protestant Magazine for a
year's subscription. It is worth
the money and will open the
eyes of those who think our free
institutions are not menaced.
The North and South Road.
There is a law on the statute
books that applies to York
County, which provides that the
chaingang shall be used in constructing
two roads across the
county from north to south ami
another from east to west, both
passing through Yorkville, that
has been effective during the
past five years. The one from

about five years ago and

that just as soon as it
is completed the "gang:" will

Must Die in the Chair.
In the circuit court at Greenville
a few days ago. Judge
Mauldin sentenced H. T. Thompson,
a white farmer of the lower
section of Greenville county, to
death in the electric chair on
Friday, jlllv SI. Thnmnsnn woo
accused and convicted of criminally
assaulting his 17-vear-old
daughter. This girl, a son of
the condemned man and a
brother were the chief witnesses
for the State. The defense had
little to base its plea upon except
the denials made by the
accused.
Wh^n sentence was passed the
girl victim threw her armsabout
her father's neck and wept
bitterly. It was her testimony
which had gone far toward convicting
him.
Until recent years Thompson
was a man of good standing in
his community.

DOUGH TWO YEARS OLD
Yields to Vinol. Read Why.
Strong vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; It's only when
the system Is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get a foothold.
Now Isn't it reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough 1b to build
up your rup down condition again?
Mrs. D. A. McGee of Waycrons, Ga.,
ays: "I had a chronic cold and cough
which kept me awake nights for two
yoars and I felt tired all the time.
Vinol cured my cough and I feel
stronger in every way."
The reason Vinol la so efficacious
In such cases is because it contains
in a delicious concentrated form all
the medicinal curative elements of
cod liver oil, with tonic, blood building
iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because it builds up the weakened,
run-down system.
You can get your money back any
time if Vinol does not do all we say.
