THURSDAY JUNE 25,1914.
The Senatorial candidates will ad-
dres» the voters of this county at Barn
well tomorrow (Friday.) Two years
ago a most disgraceful exhibition oc
curred here, when some of the suppor
ters of Governor Blease “howled down”
his chief opponent, refusing to give him
a hearing.
The People desires to make an ap
peal to the men of Barnwell County
not to allow a repetition of that oc
currence tomorrow. Every candidate
in the race has filed his pledge and
paid his assessment and for that rea
son, if not in the name of common
decency, he should be allowed to pre
sent his claims to the voters. It has
been said that many of the “howlers”
of two years ago were not natives of
this county, but came here from other
parts of the State, but be that as it may,
if there is the slightest likelihood that
an attempt will be made by either fac
tion to prevent any of the candidates
from seeking, the authorities should
haye a sufficient number of officers
present to compel the audience to pre
serve good order. We sincerely hope
that force will not benecessary.
|
If Governor Blease has been correctly
quoted by the daily newspapers in his
speech at St. George Friday, he has
abandoned his old tactics and will wage
his campaign on a higher plane. He
will not attempt to “decoy the friends
of the other candidates” but will seek
only “to hold the majority which I
already have,” he is said to have stated.
Furthermore, newspaper reporters are
not to be villified from platforms,
should they misquote him, “but are to
be reminded in private, and asked to
correct the statements in the next dis
patches.”
The People hopes that the governor
has not been misquoted in this in
stance. The majority of the voters of the
State are fast growing weary of mud-
slinging and billingsgate and abuse,
and this and future campaigns will be
campaigns of principles and not of men.
Let the voters make their selection of
officers upon the issues involved and
not be blinded by appeals to their
baser passions.
Perhaps the reason why John G.
Richards has not resigned his job as
railroad commissioner to run for gov
ernor is because he fears that after the
primary he will be in the same boat
with Ira B. Jones—a statesman without
a job. ,
i »
It the total vote polled in the ap
preaching primary election is from 15,-
000 to 20,000 less than in 1912 it will
not be on account of the fact that that
many voters neglected to enrdll “be
cause they did not know they had to
do so,” as one gubernatorial candidate
expresses it, but because it least
that many were not entitled to vote
in the Democratic primary election.
Candidate Richards, who is said to
be strenuously opposed to compul
sory education, is not in favor of spend
ing another cent for negro education
Until every white child has been pro
vided for. What better^way is tffera
do provide for the education at EVERY
For fear he might get lost in the shuf
fie, we are going ask to right now,
“What has become of the old-fashioned
farmer who was wont to being the
editor the best and largest melon in his
‘patch’?”
As one of our exchanges points out,
if the new primary rules will disqualify
such a large number of voters, why
are the candidates making such a
strenuous campaign to get these same
votes?
Wouldn’t some of those dear delin
quent subscribers howl we quit speak
ing in flattering terms about them and
began to “sqeak right out in meeting?”
Although politics may be in the
same category with Sherman’s defini
tion of war, present indications are that
it won’t be near as hot.^
As a square meal town Orangeburg
is strictly nil, but when it comes to the
“movies” she puts it all over Colum
bia.
“To be or not to be” (elected, of
course) is the burning question with
the candidates this summer.
Monday mornings’ papers are fear
fully dull. No baseball games or poli
tical speeches on Sunday. -
“PROOF OF THE PUDDIN’
IS CHAWING THE BAG”
(Continued from first page.)
an efficient model and his re-election
is urged becauss of his su perior ability.
I am speaking mainly of Bull Pond
for I presume that such is not the case
ovCr in Mr. Johns’ or Dr. Hoover’s
section; they write differently.
Remember the word—DISCRIMINA
TION. From the foregoing it might
appear to those who do not know me
that I am working in the interest of
some one else against Mr. Diamond.
Let me state that Mr. Box expressed
my sentiment when he says that he
would not do Mr. Diamond an injustice
knowingly, but facts are facts and Bull
Pond ought to be shown up in its true
light.
Somebody is mistaken. I do not be
lieve for a single moment that either
Dr. Hoover or Mr. Johns would make
such flaring statements in the face of
such undisputed facts, knowingly. I
think it is commendable in any maq. to
give praise and honor to whom honor
is due, if it is based upon facts and not
upon imagination and hear-say at the
expense of some competitor.
I believe also in giving an “anti”
vote to an aspirant who is incompetent.
As to the economy that was mentioned,
there is much that can be said, but I’ll
pass on to the old adage which says,
“The proof of the puddin* is chawing
the bag.”
I have made some strong assertions
which conflict with some others, there
fore, somebody must be mistaken. In
view of this fact, if the grand jury will
investigate the matter I will gladly pay
all their expenses down here and give
them a barbecue dinner if they
find that I have made a single
misstatement or exaggerated the mat
ter in one iota,and if after investigation
they find one will say that the stretch
of road from Bryan’s corner to Mr.
Spigeirer’s is in the least degree credi
table to the most incompetent road
overseer or that King Solomon’s chariot,
if history is correct, could even get
through Lover’s Lane in safety, I’ll
gracefully take off my hat and apolo
gize to the gentlemen who desire the
re-election of a certain candidate upon
the merits of his road record and I’ll
see to it that every voter in Barnwell
County be apprised of the fact.
Provided, however,
If they find that the roads are just as
I have stated, in a deplorable condition,
and that the work done by the .chain
gang on the roads mentioned are too
abomnable to evejF be considered as
having been worked at all, that they
see to it that the chain gang be put un
der the supervision of Mr. Bill Bryan
to work the roads in Bull Pond town
ship for a period of time to the value
of road taxes collected from Bull Pond
since the enactment of the road tax law.
I am not after Mr. Diamond, but I do
want Bull Pond to have what she pays
for and I believe that Mr. Bryan will
give it to us it he can get control of the
chain gang.
Come and see, gentlemen. “The
proof of the puddin’ is chawing the
bag.”
Thee. R. Erwin.
