Won A Great Victory. It will have to he admitted tin it. the j Mtanntngltes have won a great victory, j Although The Knquircr never makes j predictions as to Vim t Is goinjr to hap ] pen In politics, we do not mind saying that in view of all tl^e circumstances the outcome of Tuesday's second pri mary was a surprise. There was no good reason to believe that all of the Cooper vote would go to Blease, but there did apj>oar to l>e good reason to believe that enough of it would g<> to him to give (him at least a small ma jority. However It has not turned out that way, and the proltable secret is tlmt the Mannlngltes were the hardest workers. We are not disposed to charge or even intimate fraud, for we heve no evidence of anything of the kind, And It Is to 1h? hoped tliat both sides will accept the result In good faith. ?

Your) also called Yom Hazlk.Ktin < "Day of Memorial," fulls this yearj on Thursduy?vScpt<?iuhcr 2Kth. It com mences however, the evening previous,) since In a Hiblo usage lb*' days are couuted from sun down t?> suu down. Tin* more orthodox will observe not only Thursday but Friday as well, It being their custom to keep a second day in connection with pra<tlcall.v nil the more lni|KHtaiit Jewish holiday^ and festivals. This custom on their i pari grew out of certain complex t ?n J I dltlonn In tin' iAlondation of. early rub i luteal times and tbo practl<? once os j tubltshcd, has been kopt ;?p by thorn, ' oven through tbo original reason no ! | longer obtains. The Reform Jews ob serve only tbo day script ually pie j sertbod. The date of Bo$h llashi'nah Is the tlivt day of tbo month of Tlsbri and the New Year now to he ushered In, Is, u> cording to tbo tradlt> ?nal .Jew ish Calender the year M177. Vnlike January 1st, Rosh Uashan i ah has l>een fully able to resist secular ization. It Is In florin and spirit a holy day distinctively ? n<?t a holiday. Solemn services character'/.c Its obser vance lw)tb evening an I morning. It Is a time dedicated ti> retrospection, in trospection ami resolutions tor tlu i'u turo; The day bears the special dcslg nation of Yom ha-IHn or a day of Judgement, with quaint mvsficisni tbo I old tradition represent* tiit-'souts or luen as being on this day before toe divine tribunal at. the annual assizes on high. The groat Recording f-ookw lie open and the individual destin ies are set (lown, but, uul this Is the significant element in the conception the award In each give i case must no sealed by the person himself meaning thereby that, though the varying issues of tbo New Year proceed from God's providence no one's future Is determln ed apart from what he himself Is and does, (hit of the above conception has grown up the familiar greeting Inter changed by Jews 011 Rosh flashanali namely, "leshomth torn tlkaaevu." mean ing "May you be lnscrtt?ed for a good ! yea r !" An imiH>rtant feature of therlUial of Rosh llasbanab is the blowing of the Shofar or Rani's born. In ancient days the sound lug of tills instrument was as sociated with times nf national crisl.a and <?ther solemn occasions. Tncre are various fanciful explanations :vf tiu> Shofar with the celebration of Ro<?li llasbanab. Each of Its dominant ii.Jos likewise has been given ? symbolic si^ nlllcancc. As the tones of the Shofar are of a peculiarly piercing piality the sounding of, the Shofar may b? regard ed as a clarion-call to the conscience to strive after the higher llf? In the New "Year. The prominence according to the ceremony <>f the soun.lluu of the Shofar during the services lias made Rosh llasbanab known as the Yom ha Teruali. "the day of the sounding of the Shofa r." DYNAMITED OLD PIER? i t I Mysterious Affair Occurred at River . Ferry Wednesday Night. The attempted blowing up of the old pier on the West side of the Wa teree river gave the keepers of the ferry boat a great scare Wednesday night about li' o'clock. No one knows who did the work, but it supposed to have l>een a stranger who had been seen loafing around the ferry all day previous. Nor is there any reason for wanting the old pier out of the way. It will be rememl>ered that several weeks ago County Attorney Thos. J. Kirkland anade a trip to Pittsburgh, Pa., where he tiled suit in the Federal court of tlitat state for $40,000 against the Peiin Bridge Go., alleging fanlty construction, which caused the concrete pier to give way and precipitate J;he steel bridge into the river, causing a total loss. No analysis had ever been made' of the material used in construct ing this pier and it is the general sup position that some one wanted to get it out of the way in order to prevent this analysis. Mr, Twltty and a negro helper, who has charge of the ferry, says that fcliey were asleep in a small house construct ed on t lie ferry, and that they had anchored the fiat nearly In midstream for the night when the blast came near turning the flat over and caused water to rush over it As soon as he realized what ihiad happened Mr. Twlt ty came Immediately to Camden and rported the matter to officers. An in sj>ectlon of the river bank showed where a man had stood In order to throw the charge, but other than this no trace of him could be* found. A large portion of tl?e pier was blown away but no other damage Whs done. Preparing for Tourists. Many of the cottages in Klrkwood owned by winter residents of Camden are undergoing repairs and cleaning preparatory to being occupied for the winter. . Reports from northern cities state -that -Ctakmteu wit fi&??~an unus nally heavy tourist business this year, and that Ji wlil bo earlier than usual. It is stated that two of the large hotels will have additions made to them in order to accomodate the large number of guests, expected. , .. "Worked Faithfully. It would require plages to describe the tight made by the Mianning forces in the week just prior to the election. Many men did their duty and worked untiringly for South Carolina. It would be impossible to say to whom the most of the credit is due, hut the office management In Qplumbia, under former L4eut Gov. Thos. <3. McLeod, of I>ec county, was handled in a su perb manner. ? Columbia Record. ' MISS SIMI'SON ffkStHNH: Kurul Supervisor tiives ( |> \\\?rk line and list's (o Lexington. . . .

They twttoved It was a "ground swell" like, that of 1800, and wanted to get on the "band wagon," as so many men did | then ? "driftwood," I called them, you remeniDer.

What have you in common with tliese men, these vicious imrasttcs on tlie body |K>litic. Nothing: for you are good men and they are bad. There nro those who have said that tho Reform movement was responsible for ItleaseiKm. I, as the leader and or ganizer of that revolution, deny the charge. The Reform movement had certain definite, constructive aims in vie^ : 1. To teach the i>eople the IK?wer of the ballot and thus free the. Htatn ~froT!r aTi oligarchy which had ruled it for a liuadre<l yearn. 2. To provide means for educating tile en larged elect orate. To safeguard the State, as far as i>ossible, from negro participation In politics. "By their fruits ye shall know them." I point to the primary system of elections, to Olemson and Winthrop colleges, and to the <Vmstitutlon of 1805 as the. ful fillment of the purjxates of the Reform movement. The inwdtlveness of 1890 never could have produced ' the nega tion of 1010 and 1012. lie who charges that Tillman Ism gave legitimate birth to Bleasisra ex presses his own dlsl>erief In democra , The Uc form" made the i mOtSL^o jH fet? f re# ftaflftloai agents. ffl!yi)ody dare deny that that was n good thing? "Government derives Its Just powers from tlie <-on*ent of the governed." Tillmnnlsm gave the bal Fot to the people and taught them its potency ? which all Democrats must ad mit was right and proper; it Is not res]*>nSible for the mistaken use of a rightful power. I am a Doino^rat, and the defeat of B lease In 1914 and 1010 renews my faith in the people. If the Reform movement elected Blouse, wfrat defeated him? I am growing old, and before I die I would like to see the people of South Carolina forget their differences and bury factionalism. Factions are the result of misunderstandings and social injustice. ' Let sll the people ? Bliease ites and nnti-BleasUes ? come together in a spirit of mutual helpfulness, clear ing up the misunderstandings and working together to remedy the injus tices that are trot too many. The vast raajoflty of both factions ? thank Go<?* ? ate honest men, and surely honest men can find common ground to stand ?o?. > B. R. Tillman. ?" Trenton, S. O.. Sept 14, 1910. Never Had i{ Filled.
