A', ' I - I Quick Thinking A student who could not sound the ,1 letter "R" was given the following ' sentence to read: "Robert gave Richard a rap in the rJbB for roasting the ratibit so rare." He studied it in silence a minute, then glibly rendered it as fallows: "Boby gave Dickey a thump in the side for cooking the bunny so little." Hlease Pleads Unity A mono Democrats (Florence News-Keview, August 8) In an address delivered from a decorated stand on the steps of ('antral Graded school building yeslerday afternoon before several thousand men und women of Florence county, many of whom were farmers who had sold their tobacco on the local market, Senator Cole L. Mease made an impassioned plea for a united Democratic party, and declared unequivocally that according to his construction of Rule 82 which he himself introduced and had adopted in 1902, no man or woman in South ( arolina would be liable to the charge of perjury if he or she voted in the Democratic primary and failed to vote in the general election. "If that were true," the Senator declared, "the state of South Carolina would be full of liars, because the records show that while thousands and thousands have voted in the primaries in the years gone by, only hundreds, comparatively speaking, have voted in the general election." Senator Blease contended that the rule was not passed to make anybody vote in the general election. "This argument albout perjury you hear so much albout is only to fool you and keep you and your friends out of the primary and out of office. Rule 32 never meant that you must vote in the general election but it does mean that you must not vote in the primary and then turn around and vote against the presidential nominee of the Democratic party. If the rule meant that a man would perjure himself voting in the primary and not voting in the general election, the races in which I myself have taken part would show that there are several hundred thousand perjurers in this state," he said. After tracing the bravery of the m^n of the American revolution, the Confederate war, and the Red Shirts of the days of Reconstruction, and citing especially the fact that the men of the sixties fought not for slavery but for the principle of States Rights, and that the men of 1876 shed their blood to make South | Carolina a state for white men, governed by white men, Senator Blease exclaimed with dramatic effect upon his large audience, "you men and women, and boys and girls, can't afford to turn your backs on the brave men who made South Carolina a white man's country. You were baptized in their blood and just can't vote a negro ticket in South Carolina." "You could never explain to your grand-daddy when you meet him in heaven, as I hope you will, that there was ever any condition" possible that would warrant your voting for a Republican for President of the United States." | . Senator Blease referred to the I wonderful work of the Red Shirts ^ who hi 1876 saved the state from I negro domination, and lauded the spirit and the deeds of the old Ku Klux Klnn. He went on to describe the deeds of the organization which sprang up soon after the Ku Klux had triumphed and continued under its guise to commit depredations of ? lawless charcater, and then declared .eloquently and vigorously. "There has grown up -today an organization patterned in form after the Klan of 1976, an organization of which I am not a momlber, and I want to say to you men of the .Klaii of the present day that you can't afford to turn your backs on the Democratic party and vote for a Republican." "I don't like A1 Smith," said the Senatbr, "and I don't expect to vote for A1 Smith but I do expect to vote for the 9 electors on the Democratic tick*** ' i . "If a man's a Democrat he ought to vote the Democratic ticket,1' declared the Senator, amid prolonged applause. . r faing biffkio the Rule 82 Senator Blease asserted that the rule did not say "you shall vote in the general election.?In this state we consider I ' the primary the election and after it is over we go on about our business. V, "Has it ever before been considered a crime to vote iiv the primary and not in the general elction ? What about the times ,1 have received big votes, and Senator Smith has received big votes, in the primary, and then in the general election get only about 10 or 15,000? Where and who are the criminals. Are there any criminals among the good people in my audience, many of whom possibly have never thought about voting in a general election? "I have nothing to do with A1 Smith's religion," said the Senator, and he declared thai if the New York Governor believed in the doctrine and the divinity of Jesus Christ, he had as much chance of going to heaven* as" ' any other man of like belief whether I in or out of the church. ~ Cromer Pleads For Hegularitu i Mr State a few days ago published tin- t'dlowmg communication from Dr. (it ii^v |{, Cjoinri t?f Newberry: I hose Democrats that are dallying with the Republican party and put t.ng tneniselves uiuici liuhgntiva to it by asking it to flam e a bolt from the! Democratic party in ? Southern state may yet fori the sting <if the ancient repioaeh: "You eat my meat, And drink my teu, Then go down town And talk about me." I understand the feelings of those who are asking the state committee t' cull a meeting of the stute conventJ,,n. Many a time I have chufed tinder party restrictions'; but 1 believe ii party regularity, not as an end, but as a means to the maintenance pf the principles on which the party stands. There is no prohibition party iii this state. There are two parties, tlie Democratic and the Republican; and the principles that distinguish them strike their roots into the very foundation of the government. There are decent Republicans, but no decent Republican party, in South Carolina. I wish that conditions were such that we might have a decent Republican party; but that time is not yet. At the primary election and in convention I vote for my man. At the general election I vote for my party. Wp were duly represented at the national Democratic convention, ^nd Smith is the nominee of the Dctiocrutic party in South Carolina. If democracy means anything, it means the rule of the< majority. But it is now proposed that the rules be so changed as to promote the rule of a disgruntled minority. Think of it! The state committee is asked to call n meeting of the state convention for the sole and express purpose of enabling Democrats to fly the track and refuse to support the nominee of the party. Why should the state committee ask the state convention to make a fool of itselrf ? Rule 32 was retained by a decisive majority at the May convention, when it was probable that Smith would be nominated; now that he is the nominee of the party, it' would be preposterous for the party organization to lend its aid to those who hope for his defeat. Doubtless those who are willing to give the Republican party an entering wedge in this state are too young to have had a taste of Reconstruction. I suggest that they might profit by reading Reynolds on Reconstruction in South Carolina. They can then appreciate the saying of Justice L. Q. C. Lamar, when, speaking of Reconstruction in the South, he said; "The South trod... with un&andaled feet the burning marl of a political hell without parallel in history." The Republican party, led by Demagogs, paved that hell for us. GEORGE B. CROMER. Newberry. Indications are that Code M.

Find Fossil Remains Orangeburg, Aug. 11.?A highly interesting discovery of a number of marine, animal and reptile fossils was unearthed a few days ago by county j highway builders excavating with the drag; line excavator on the old Columbia road several miles north of the city. L. C. Boone, county highway engineer, procured an interesting exhibit of these bones, which he said belonged probably to the caihoniferous age. The bones, which were imbedded in sea shells and other marine formq were scarcely distinguishable until they were cleansed of the deposits they were imbedded in. 1 he bones, he said, were clearly preserved in outline reseniblihg thut of the giant dinosaur one reads about in studying the prehistoric animals of this country. He said that the deposit was unearthed in a spot about 12 feet deep. Mr. Boone stated that he had found many interesting relics of by-gone days in excavation work over the country, but this find was the most interesting, from a geological standpoint of any he had found.
