The Wateree Mcs?9 u c rjbHabnd iTary Tuesday by Chas. W. Birch^nore, Proprietor. |M< I ? tpUm 1 1 .SO m r**' ? dwmm ?*. CAMDE r S. C., Dec io, 1912. Gov Blease, at the conference ] of Govern <rs, held in the city of I Richmond I -st week, ?eemcd to have r?i Ned q lite a storm. Thtre wis no occ tsion f >r this, unit ss the otner governors were not custom ed to neanng sta'rments .straight f'om th?? shoulder I ke our gover nor p?ike^ W ly th y ? ven pas^ e 1 a re o ut.on a- ap r v ii g of w hat G verncr Bl? a?e said, ai d th? y were t(?<d t at It made nod ffert-nce t>him (B'.-a^*) if they passed the re*out'on. Gov. Blease was dis cussing the marriage <f Jack John son, the negro, to a wlie wirl, wh ch caus d G v C irey, of W> ominj, 'oak hiin ?? he had not ta ki-n aj oath to uphold t^e constitu tion of hi* state. G v. Blea e re-, plied that tie had, tvjt went on to J express the real se timent of a la<ge majority of the people of this State w hen he said: "We i I said 1 never woulJ or der out he militia to protect the black brute who laid hi* dtsecrating hand upon a white woman, I sp? ke the truth, I say i< novv a^ain. That is my position, gentlemen, and if you don't aMree with mr, -n the words of the great Virginian, 'Go to it ' " Gov. Blease had said if the con stitution ptevented him from pro tecting the wh.te women of his state he would teat it into threads, and he mad? bold to repeat the same statement. Of cou> >e those who would prefer to stand ny the con stitution to protecting the white women will not agree with tne gov ernor. We have not noticed any criti cism of the N >rthern xovernora who hissed Gov. Blease for some of his utter inces, as undignified as it was to hiss. But Gov. Blease was equ ? I to the occasion, and said to thein: "What care I for your hisses. Hiss if you must. Only snake* and geese his* " We do not see any reason for raising such a howl about what Gov. Blease said, ai d distorting it to make it opptar that he is goin^ ab>gt ever ti.e coui try advoCiUn_ ly;ich law, hut there are some pa pers as well as some people who art Willi jg to put the worst cons ruction possible upon anything that Gov Blease says ot) accou-it of their op position to him. W'io is 'hi re thai wi I say hat he was hot ri^t t whei hv con Jem ieJ the inirriige of th? negro. Jack Johnson, to a wiiin girl? I hi> is what brought on the '?constitutional" utte anee i . replv to a repuoijut governor, Alio may or may not have ajpioved ot bLck men mar>iug white women. While we think it nnfoituna e that tliere should oe occasion foi the disiu^son ot such matters, still let U: be ju t in oui ci i.icisiiis. The Messenger has sought at all timta to b. o sei\ice to the people of this town and county. We havt never taken any su-ck in "trim naers" *ho set their sails to catch Iht popular br tz , nor do we be liev* in "fraint -ups' for the beli ef}' of favoritts, but rather a broad and libetal pol cy, whether it refers to municipal, c? unty or state nut ters. We sh.tll not be d<ttrr*d from tMs course in the future. We J ave no grud^?? fo uraiify. Our whole a m is to be of real service to our town, county ai>d state. Wt believe in a constructive policy and not a destructive one, and when laws ure made that are detrimental to th? interests of^he public, as we see it, we shall condemn them re gardless of tie cons quences. For this reason and this reason alone, we have opposed the butcher ordi nance passed by the city council of Camd' n, and we shall continue to o| pose it until relief is given. It is sulrtfal t? the commercial interests of the town, and to place the figures conservatively, at least seventy five per cent, of the people of the town and county oppose it. Per ? haps it would be nearer the correct figures to say that ninety-nine per cent. disapprove It. Wonder how much longer before Oimden will have electric lights? We ?e?n lights for the afreet*. We have them In our home* now, but a town at old an Camden, and with aa mt'ch money as Cimden baa for Inspector* , *ho?ild have elec tric Hj<hta.

Woman Finally Recovers From Nervous Breakdown Impoverished nerves destroy many f>eopIe before their time. Often be ore a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good con dition. an the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mra. Anna Kounz, an Mechanic St^ Pueblo, Colo., says: "For many years i suffered from nervous prostration; I was unable to do any house work and doctors failed to help me. Remedies I tried from druggists did not do me a particle of good. A neighbor told my husband about Dr. Miles' Nervine and he procured a bottle. After the first few doses I showed a marked improvement and after taking two bottles I was entirely cured. I have been perfectly well for years and cannot praise Dr. Miles Nervine too highly." If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are tr. a general run down condition and unable to bear your part of the daily grind of life, you need some thing to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the mat ter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment * Dr. Miles' Nervine hns proven its value m ?ervous dis orders for thirty years, and merits a trial, no matter how many other remedies have failed to help you.
