If the editor called you a theif in a two line item and stuck it away in the most obscure corner of the paper, ■would you pass it by in the belief that it "would never be noticed?” Never! You would consider your- defamed before the entire com munity, and would paw up the earth in your bellowings. You would be on ly to quick to concede that every line in the paper is read. Yea, advertising certainly pays. There is no ad so small, or insignifi cant, but what some one is waiting for There are plenty of people who want what you have to sell, but they are weary of looking through a haystack for • needle. They prefer to find it in an advertisement. And they will look in the local paper piheadi' They find someone’s—but will it be yours? Keep Cool. "God of our fathers hear us, In this the hour of dread, Behold us now before Thee. Hush’d hearts and low-bowed head. date* maybecome s mak' Ions on the fitness of and not on appeals to at blind them t6 file issues Emerson was convicted in 1907 in Anderson county for killing one Thaftias Drake, a respected farmer, in Drake’s own home, after he had ruined the latteria daughter. This man was paroled last year. Another man was convicted in Char leston of forgery. Soon after he was paroled, according to Candidate Jen nings, he committed an assault upon' a little girl in Charleston, was convicted and sentenced to 30 years imprison ment. One R. A. Richey, of Abbeville coun ty, was convicted of an assault upon his 13-year old adopted daughter. He has been given a parole. And the man who granted this executive clemency is the same man who has repeatedly declar ed tht heawould lead a mob to lynch such a brute! C%n there be any defense of such a record? Will the voters of South Carolina elect such a man to the United States Senate? At Anderson last week Governor Blease is reported as saying that he will pay no attention to the attacks being made on his record by Messrs. Jennings and Pollock, but would ig nore anyone “who put himself on the same plane as JohnT. Duncan and Bar ney Evans.” Two years ago the gov ernor was re-elected because his op ponent could not or would not explain certain acts'of his past record which were brought out by Blease himself. Dosen’t the governor consider himself “on the same plane with John T. Dun can and Barney Evans” for having at tacked Judge Jones’ record? A whole lot depends upon whose ox is being gored, doesu’t it? For the past two or three weeks Thj People has been publishing articles pre pared by Clemson College dairymen about “The Cow and Her Product. This branch of husbandry is one that has been too much neglected by the farmers of this section and we hope, by the publication of these notes, to in duce the more progressive ones to pay more attention to this valuable animal. By the way, a good dairy situated conveniently to Barnwell would prove a paying investment. m - 4;- "And where our need is sorest, And hearts so deeply stirred, Grant peace, Lord, to our people, And freedpm to Thy word.” These two stanzas of a poem that ap peared |n the Belfast Witness are ap plicable to existing conditions in South Carolina. The State is in the thick of a political campaign, into which certain candidates are endeavoring to inject factionalism, bitterness and class-ha- . tred in spite of the best endeavors of level-headed men who want to see po- ,ce restored. With the exception of two or three candidates the meeting at Barnwell Thur|£ay was marked by a clear-head ed, sane discussion of the issues of the day. The audience paid marked atten tion to the speakers and it was very evi dent that the voters were trying to de cide on the best men. But this is not the at,all meetings. There are a certain element of our voters who have been trained in the belief that unless they are treated to an exhibition of demagogy the meeting is decidedly tame and nothing has been accomplish ed. It la a thet that cannot be gainsaid that South Carolina has suffered too Many of the supporters of the pres ent governor pretend that they do not believe anything that appears in the newspapers, which they claim are so prejudiced that they are unable to give impartial reports of the campaign meet- .» ings. Why, then, should they believe t ie report of a meeting that says “a majority was in favor of the governor?" We ask to know. Why should a man who asks a candi- t date on the stump a perfectly legitimate question be branded a “coward?” With the advantage entirely with the speaker it would seem that it requires some “nerve" on the part of the ques tioner to propound his query. We admire President Wilson’s course in conferring with the leading business men of the country, but feel slightly peeved because we were not included in the invitation. However, we have hopes that some good piay result from the conferences after all.. How different from two years ago are the reports being sent out from the Piedmont section, Bfease’s alleged stronghold. long from the domination of petty poll- Udine who seek the prostitution of the motlfer State for the advancement of ' political ambiflqns^But after [ to the really masterful discus- flfjpjwll nf tilt day by Cooper^ Man- General Prosperity is on the move and we may soon look for the complete rout of old General Depression.
