Ju»t Like a Member of the Family" ■J VOLUME XL. BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1»1«. NUMBS S. I HELD GREAT MEETING. District Convention, K. of P., at Black* rifle, Much Enjoyed. Special to The People. Blackville, September 2.—The Dis trict Convention, K. of P.; was held here August 30th, at 11 a. m., an ex cellent program being carried out. The address by the Hon. Charles Car- roll Simms was one of the best ever heard in Barnwell County, his audi ence being held spellbound by his elo quence. t ' At 2 p. m. a dinner was served to the delegates at the Rush House. Mr. A. H. Ninestein, of Blackville, was toast-master. The following toasts were given: “Pythianism,” Grand Chancellor Al va Lumpkin. . — “What night should a Knight go out?” Col. H»rry D. Calhoun. “Our Guest.” Hon. Charles Carroll Simms. “A mule makes no progress while he is kicking, neither does a Knight.” W. El Derrick. Special music was arranged for the occasion and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Grand Chancellor Alva Lumpkin was to make a public address at 8:30 o’clock in the evening, but was called home on account of the illness of his brother. Mr. W. E. Derrick, of Or angeburg, spoke in his stead and made a splendid address. Mr. Ninestein presided at the morning exercises. The program in full was as fol lows: Hymn, “Stand up, Stand up for Jesus.” Invocation, Rev. Barclay. Address of.Welcome in Behalf of the Blackville K. of P. Lodge, by Rev. George W. Hopkins. Address of Welcome “In behalf of Blackville,” by Dr. Ryan A. Gyles. Response, “In behalf of visiting lodges,” by Dr. R. Mead Hammond. Anthem, By the Choir, “Awaken ing Chorus.” Address, by Hon. Charles Carroll Simms. Quartef, “A Perfect Day.” Hymn, “Onward Christian Soldiers.” CONFESS THAT BLEASEITES CANNOT ELECT GOVERNOR They say they are confident but.to WHOM is the despairing “Bleaseite” cry addressed? If they BELIEVED that the Bleasites were a majority they would expect the BLEASITES to elect their man in the second primary ? Wouldn’t they ? , • But they cry aloud to the supporters of Mr. Cooper. Don’t they ? Robert A. Cooper is not and never has been a Bleasite. Did not Mr. Blease attack him on the stump in Laurens as early as 1912—lon& before he was a candidate for Governor? , , Nor are the Cooper men Bleasites. Nor have they ever been. If they had been THEY COULD NOT HAVE SUPPORTED BOB COOPER. -A The Manning-Cooper MAJORITY dgainst Blease is MORE THAN 8,000. That is why the .beseeching wail goes up to the Cooper men—Save us or we perish! If they THOUGHT that the Bleasites were a majority of the people wouldn’t they call on the BLEASEITES to elect Blease ? *• ■ '' , * Observe the changed tone. Do you hear the old, wild ring of defiance, “I’ll stand by my friends" and “make my enemies sweat blood?" No. The voice is as soft as the coo of a sucklind dove. The tune now is, “Let the past be the past,” and let “by gones be bygones." — . Does that sound like expectation of overcoming a majority of H,w()7 “ '* Tr ‘“ : ——^ Hear the Charleston American, the daily newspaper supporting Blease, promising that the racing business is “gone and gone forever.” Isn’t that a new tune ? ” Again hear it: “He (Blease) will use his new lease of power with great moderation." What the Charleston American, the principal Blease newspaper, is running now for Governor, is a reformed, a converted, a brand new kind of Blease made to order to catch anti-Blease votes. The cry is that the new Blease would be “governor of all the people.” Where would "my friends” come in ?.. If what the Charleston American says is to be taken as true, if what the statements on which the Cooper vote is solicited almost with tears in the printed lines is true,then the BLEASEITES are asked to step up to the polls and vote for a man wholly different from the man they have -heretofore supported—for a man that is pledged to be as good and quiet as any family nag might be in harness. They are pleading for the Cooper vote on the ground that M/. Blease has been politically converted, that he has become a MORERATE, that he has turned over a new leaf! The old fashioned Blease is not The American’s candidate—is not running for a THIRD TERM. It is a candidacy of repentance, of I-promise-never-to-be-naughty-again, that is put forward in the entreaties for a part of the anti-Blease vote. If that be not CONFESSION that the majority is against Blease, WHAT WOULD BE? fPolitical Advertisement.') Democratic Voters, Attention! (Political Advertisement.) Cari of Thanks. Edl^>r Barnwell People: Please allow me space in your col umns to extend iqy thanks to those who voted for me in the recent pri mary. I feel very grateful to them all. Many voted for me that never saw me and such proves to the caspal mind that a reputation is better than a face. I especially feel highly honored by the large vote I received in my own townships—Bull Pond,- Allendale, Fairfax and Baldock—and 1 guess it is well that the good people of other sections of the county did not know 'me as well as my home people, for if they had I would have been elected and some other good man would have gotten left. I knotv all along that a great many .people would fight me for certain cf^tands I have taken, but I can say ivith a clear conscience to one and all that I made no promise and did not deny to anyone that I was opposed to Bleaseism, for I could not do such. In closing, I again wish to thank one and all for what they did for me and would like t<f ask all to go to the • polls next Tuesday determined to put the bes£ men in office. J. LAWTON BOX.
