About the Senetor.hip. Senator E. D. Smith, who is seeking re-election this year, has served near ly one term. In that short length of time, handicapped as he was by being a newcomer, he has accomplished wonders for the agricultural interests of this State and the South as a whole. He "knows the ropes,” and if returned Major and Mrs. P. J. Drew and daughter left Tuesday afternoon for Hot Springs, Ark., where they will to the Senate for another six years trir TpendrrtiOTittr. worth to the people of South Carolina will be several times as great as that of a new man, who must start at the bot tom and take whatever is given him until his length of service is such as to put him in a commanding position. This being the case, it would be a great calamity to remove one who has proven himself to be a friend of the people and elect another in his stead. This point is very aptly illustrated in an article in The Saturday Evening Poet, a part of which is reproduced below: "North Carolina is soon to bold a commanding posjtion. As it is now, in the Senate, Senator Simmons, from that State, is chairman of the Finance Committee, the committee of which Nelson W. Aldrich was chairman for so many years, and Senator Overman is ranking member and acting chairman of the Judiciary Committee. “Over in the House, when Oscar Underwood moves across to the Senate, as he will do next Spring, Claude Kitchin, of North Carolina, will become chairman of the Ways and Means Com mittee and leader of the Democrats— provided, of course the Democrats re tain the House. In any event, in case the Democrats lose the House, Kitchin will be leader of the minority and rank ing Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee. Also, owing to the ap pointment of Henry Clayton to the Federal bench in Alabama, Represen tative Webb, of North Carolina, be comes chairman of the big House Com mittee on Judiciary.’' “This proves two things: The first U that if ft slate continues her men in Obngress they will eventually get to the top, provided they are men of even average worth, and thus attain the power that will be of inestimable bene fit to the state. The second is that Congress offers a good field for serious and honest endeavor, provided the people giv$ the endeavorer a chance to try.” The following conversation probably explains why so few merchants in Barn well believe in advertising: "Why don’t you advertise?” asked the editor of the home paper. “Don’t you believe in advertising?” "I’m agin advertising.” replied the propriator of the Hayville Racket store. “But why are you against it?” asked the editor. “It keeps a feller too dura busy,” re plied the proprietor. “1 advertised in a newspaper one time about ten years ago and I never even got time to go fishing/V N . John L. McLaurih stated last week that Senator Tillman had "reached the conclusion that peace can come only through the election, not the defeat, of Governor Blease.” The following day the senior Senator made a flat-footed denial of the truth of the statement. John G. Richards is sure of his elec tion as governor, yet he holds on to his job as railroad commissioner. Gov ernor Blease is equally as sure that he is already making plans for two years hence in case he is not elected this summer: What’s the answer? Because a man is shrewd politician, it does not necessarily follow that he would make a good statesman. The days gain four shine this week.

C. , Cakes, Pies Why ehT pay more, The Newberry Herald and News is one of the few Blease papers in the State, and for that reason the following editorial comment on the Whitmire incident is all the more interesting: “We 'Were present at the Whitmire meeting on last Saturday when Gov. Blease spoke. We heard the tilt be- ' tween Mr. William Coleman and the governor. We regret that it took place. We are constrained to say that we do not think the governor was jus tified in his attack on Mr. Coleman. We have known Mr. Coleman for a good many years. We know some thing of the work he is doing at Whit mire. While not a political supporter of the governor, as a mark of respect to him, he came down to the meeting to hear hiip speak when he was a guest of the 1 town. We do not think that a candidate for office nor an of fice seeker has a right or is justified iamaking a personal, attack on pri vate citizens who happen not to be po- libcii supporters of ftTein.
