We are reproducing lit another place

upon tlit* acairs of the lute sheriff*

hM? to throw some light upon a sub
ject that 1* of ifwent to every tax
lia.ver. rnrter the heart of "Cash <*ol

says; "A# shown hy. statement* the

total of $10,018.48 for the two yearn

turned over to the Treasurer up to

he determined by these records." Are
we to presume from t\ils that, the late
sheriff tried to "hog" U allV It haiku,
to uk that the several grand Juries
of this county have been reereunt In
their duties to 1$?t things run in such
a lax manner for so long a time. The I
Chronicle ot every term of the o?urt i
publishes the presentment of the
grand Jury that It may enlighten the

It seems that It is 'Idgh time a full

so let us have it.

"One of the most satisfactory posi

The Aiken county patriotic league
held a meeting Tuesday night and
passed resolutions condemning apeeches
made hy (\ L. Hlcasc at I'onuirla and
at Filbert in opposition to the presi
dent. and also denouncing "at least
one newspaper in Charleston" for its
utterances. Copies of the resolutions
were ordered sent to the president,
the war department and to the United
States district attorney.
We know of tit least one staunch
supiMirter of former f?nv. Blease in
tliis county who has turned his hack
on "Colic" since his recent utterances
at l'omaria and Filbert. The ex-Gov
ernor's foWowenf Jiave lieen blindly
following him and believing anything
he said for several years, but when
it. comes t?? a test the majority of
them will prove rheniselves to be us
patriotic as any set i>f people in the
State. We have differed with them
in their |?olitical opinions, but we
have the utmost confidence in their
loyalty.
The following paragraph is taken
from "<>ur Dumb Animals", a humane
publication of Koston. Mass. Our
J)umh Animals has preached against
war since its foundation many years
fkgo. Any doubt as to the^vighteous
ness of this country entering the con
flict is exjadled to its many thousands
of readers by this intet-estlng little
publication: "Had the l'nifed States
gone into -tln< war to gain a single
foot of territory, or to add to it* glory
or Its power, this magazine, to be true
to Its record, could only have denounc
ed such a step. We cannot think of
this war. so far as we arc concern
ed. as other than one in self-defense
and on hohalf of human libertv."
We cannot understand the attitude
of some well-iueanin^r individuals and
newspaiiers who persistently and, it
seeius t<> us, viciously attack almost
every measure adopted by the Wash
ington administration. The claim he
in:; so often made in eertain quarters
I hat the American people do not wish
this, war is true in n sense, for no
sane man desires to have war. It is
a irruesoine business, lint those indi
viduals who are condemning our being
in this war are enemies to our conn
fry. if not actual traitors. We are
in because our self-respect, our moral
obligation and the stern demands of
duty ei>mj>clled 11s t?? go in. And the
heart of the American jieople is in
this struggle. if we mistake not. It
is well enough to look for the ear
marks (if the Ad verse criticisms we
read. "There is a reason."?T'nion

The Record believes that !>W jmt cent,
of the so-called "Pleaseites" are loyal
American citizens, not to be led astray
by the nioufliings of a disapi>ointed
politician. lilease's recent speeches
are nothing in the world but bids for
political favor. The Record hopes,
however, that the (loverninent of the
United States will find some way of
putting a stop to the dangerous talk
of this fanatic?for that is what lie
is?nothing less. lie is easily the
man to corrupt lb*' patriotism of other
wise perfectly good citizens. There can
be n?i doubt of the loyalty of South
Carolinians. And this man should he

South Carolina and her men in an
unfavorable ligiht to the outside world.
He has ahvays felt himself to be big

he should ever be again trusted with

The temiH?rament of the
picnic crowd was peculiar and quite
in contrast with the temperament exr
hlhlted at FtHwt?h^-the-past;
ureat majority of the 2.000 or more
people who heard the; speeches of Con
gressman Steveitfon and former Gov
ernor mease were staunch political
supporters of Mr. Please; but he
failed to arouse In thorn the old-time
tire and enthusiasm. The demeanor of
the vast throng was one rather ?r
thoughtful meditation and doubt and
uncertainty. It was plain to sec that
the martial conflict In Europe and this
country's entry therein was bearing
heavily in the minds of all.
When Mr. Bleaso took a hand pri
mary and asked all those who -would
have voted for war or peace had they
heen members of Congress at the time
war was declared, every hand was
raised in favor of peace:'but It was
done it) a mechanical sort of way.
There was no enthusiasm abopt It.
Nobody jeered and nobody cheered.
The attitude of the crowd seemed to
l?e one of "Of course I am in favor of
peace: but I can't see how we could
have kept out of It any longer with
honor land my rights."
Both the speeches of Mr. Please and
'Congressman Stevenson were devoted
almost exclusively to America's entry
into the world-war and circumstances
pertain In \r thereto. Referring to any
thing else i xeited no interest what
ever.
There was a little flrtsh of the ohl
tlme tire evident among the audience
when Mr. Please said: "If it Ivadn t
heen for money interest'-, in England
we wouldn't be in war. Today I am
still of the opinion that America
should have j?eace and not war. If they
want to tight Please on this issue let
Senators Tilinan and Smith resign
and let there he a primary in August
and a general election in Septeml>er.
Then let me have a running mate and
let Senators Tillman and Smith run
on a platform of advocacy of war and
my running mate and I against It. If
I am not elected I will never open my
mouth on a public platform again.
They say the people of South Caro
lina are clamoring for war. Let them
accept my proposition and see in a
primary election if they are." Follow
ing that declaration there were sev
eral cries of "You tell 'em. Colie,"
mighty shouts and shrieks that have
followed such reference to his going
to the Senate, etc., in days gone by,
were not to he heard, and the old
