THURSDAY, AUGUST 8RD, 1916. The Bleasitee Started It. At the campaign meeting in Or angeburg Friday, Mr. C. L. Blease was “heckled" by the crowd and af ter attempting to speak for only six minutes refused to continue, prefer ring, it seems, to make whatever po litical capital he can out of an effort on the part of the Manning Men to “howl him down.” But— The friends of Governor Manning WERE NOT THE FIRST TO IN DULGE IN THE DISGRACEFUL PRACTICE OF “HECKLING.” The in Saturday's issue of Ihe and Democrat, of Orangeburg, stained the following sentence: “A minority of about 2M were sad whoa Manning THEY RECK LED HIM CON8ID1 ABLY AT FIRST, hot the gores sad the tatermptioae Yea, Coleetine, there folks in this vale of tours who would IwS-GooesmamJlu personal emissary of\the Sultan of Bulu jf a certain demagogic politician told them such is the case. An attempt was made at Orange burg to “heckle" Governor Manning, who, unlike onrnof his opponents, is not “feather-legged” and persisted until the interruptions ceased. Our idea of the height of imagina tion is for a little negro boy to push a soap box on wheels around town and imagine he’s driving a Super- Six. As a political factor in the present gubernatorial race, Candidate C. L, BleaSe has gone “where the wood bine twineth.” Why? Why havg two primaries when an s candidate for a second tend? / MUNICIPAL PRIMARY ELECTION For Mayor. I hereby announce myself a candi date for re-election to the office of Mayor of Barnwell, subject to the rules of the ^.municipal Democratic primary election. J. Emile Harley. For Alderman. I hereby announce myself a candi date for the office of Alderman of Barnwell, subject to the rules of the municipal Democratic primary elec tion. P. M. Buckingham. Continuing, the report says “Chairman Moss made several efforts to interrupt Blease and straighten the crowd out, but the ex-Governor willjng to take what political he could get out of not tad ceased his efforts after only six minutes speaking. He waa as he was leering the !h all probability an attempt will be amde by the supporters of Mr. Blease to make political capital out ef the Orangeburg ms sting, and this artioie is written merely to keep the record straight The People does not nphold the men who were guilty of so discourteous an act as “heckling" a candidate, but it must be admitted that they were merely paying the Bleaaeitcs with their own coin. One of the weakest charges against Governor Manning, aside from charg ing the present administration with “lawisssnsis," is that the Governor “raised” the salary of the superin tendent at the State hospital for the insane. Governor Manning did NOT raise the superintendent's salary. He didn’t have that power. The first year he paid the deficit out of HIS OWN POCKET, and the legislature, seeing the excellent results, volun tarily increased the salary to $6,000. But even if the Governor had in creased the salary of Dr. Williams, who saved the State of South Caro lina $34,000 in the first year, would not that have been good business ? These so-called “charges” would be laughable if it were not true that a crtain class of people believe—or pre tend to believe—them. One of the candidates for Governor professes to be a “nigger-hater,” But— That same candidate, when he was Governor, persistently pardoned his negro chauffer for speeding through the streets of Columbia and THREAT ENED to “put on” another rural po liceman in Richland County every* * time said negro was arrested. For the sake of argument, let’s ad mit that the Manning administration is “lawless.” Now then— Will the supporters of Candidate C. L. Blease explain why Governor Man ning wns HISSED by the lawless ele ment at the Charleston meeting? If one of the candidates for Gov ernor is the profound “nigger-hater’ that he professes to be, let him ex plain (if be can) why he pardoned and paroled MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND NEGRO CONVICTS during his incumbency in office. - la it out of order to recall the fact that Judge Ira B. Jones was down” at nearly all of the » the campaign of Uli ?
