==========
| Thursday, August 11,1904
A late dispatch from the seat of war in
|p y . the Far East is headed, "Port Arthur
Must Fall." This is about as near the
truth as any news that has come from the
scene of hostilities, and if the falling of
Port Arthur will stop that little scramble
between Japan and Russia, we say "let
|;-V 'er fall."
B' Mayfield should not dignify the foolish
IBefo and malicious criticisms of L J Williams
by a reply. These charges are absolutely
worthless, and Mr Williams is only making
a sorry spectacle of himself. He is
beaten and he knows it and is striking
blindly at the man whom he is sure is going
to win. Mayfield should go ahead
and make his speech and pay .no attention
to Williams and his utterances.
Leon J. Williams,* candidate for congress
from the second district, has demonstrated
his utter unfitness for the exalted
position to which he aspires in his
puny efforts to besmirch the record of
Senator Mayfield. Senator Mayfield is
able to meet any of the old statesmen in
debate, and if he should be elected to con1
gress he will never be found napping,
Leon J. Williams to the contrary notwithstanding.
Mr. Mobley, the book-keeper in the
"State dispensary who sent out letters to
dispensers generally asking them to turn
; out at the polls on election day and work
for his cousin for railroad commissioner,
(( has not yet lost his position. If he has
ever been reprimanded it was not done in
a public manner. Is it to come to pass in
South Carolina when the whiskey inter
ests shall control political affairs abso\
/ lutely? When every dispenser must be a
"heeler" at the polls for a certain candidate
in order to hold his job? Let us hope
that this will not be so, and that the voters
will rebuke such attempts.
"THE MOBLEY AFFAIR."
"We have unfortunately misplaced the
copy of the Bamberg Herald containing
an editorial comment on The State's attitude
concerning a certain phase in the
campaign for railroad commissioner. We
intended to reproduce the comment, but
the substance of it will answer the purpose
Our contemporary paid tribute to The
State's constant fight for good government
and good morals in public office and
then expressed deep regret at our silence
on what it termed the Mobley affair. It
apprehended grave danger and had hoped
The State would have thrown itself in the
breach and attacked the enemy. Instead
it has marked with astonishment our sife'.
lence.
"The State does not feel consciencestricken.
No duty has been neglected.
j? " As we remember, one of the candidates
for railroad commissioner intimated that
- Mr. Mobley, another candidate for that
r office, was receiving the support of the
dispensary. This Mr. Mobley denied and (
- demanded the proof. A letter written to j
? omnlnro in ^Irppnvillp hr a
5TF> Ck uio^uoai v vui|.'ivjv ?m vj
iv ' relative of Candidate Moblev who is an
|f|- ^employe in the dispensary at Columbia
jft?' was submitted. The latter was non-official
0" " and. had the appearance of being sent by
sfc one friend to another. Candidate Mobley
^ stated publicly that the writer was a relative
and was legitimately interesting himself
in behalf of his kinsman.
"That is all The State has heard of the
:'v;. matter. There was nothing there to indicate
the interference of the dispensary in
politics. If The Herald has further inforjp*
mation on this subject it should furnish it
IT , t0 the public; if any candidate for railroad
commissioner can show that the dispensary
is being used in behalf of Mr. Mobley
||;4 auy one else, we will be found assist|p
* ing the exposure and using what influence
Ki: - we have against such species of corrup|T
* tion. Neither personal preference nor
|rj friendship would have influence with The
State under such conditions."?Columbia
Hp State.
Our contemporary is rather obtuse.
, Many persons who had no interest in the
t. '' matter, other than that of good government,
have, we think, rightly inferred
y- from a reading of the Mobley circular
letter that xit was an attempt to use the
influence of dispensary officials in politics,
for the reason that it was written by
the head book-keeper in the State dispensary
to a beer dispenser and asked him to
take care of a candidate at the polls on
jv . election day. This was certainly asking
that a dispenser get out and be a political
"heeler" at the polls, something which is
forbidden by the State Commissioner and
the law, too, we believe. However, this
letter was not only sent to "one friend by
another" but we know that these circulars
have been sent to dispensers in other
counties who are not personal friends of
-keener Moblev. Possiblv thev have
been sent to dispensary officials all over
the State, and our information leads us to
believe that such is the case. Certainly
many dispensers in this section have received
them, and if this is not using the
dispensary influence in politics, then we
confess we don't know what it is. Will
The State still contend, in the face of
these facts, that there "was nothing to in,
- dicate the interference of the dispensary
it'.* in politics?" We commend to its careful
reading the last paragraph of the letter.

TO AVOID LYNCHING.
Negro Charged with Murder is Arrested at Branchville
and Sent to Charleston by the Governor's
Order.
Braxchville, August 3.?Pierce Middletou,
a negro, who, it is claimed, shot
at a white man at Cordova, S. C., a few
days ago, and who escaped the officers
there, was arrested here yesterday /by
Constable Byrd after a very exciting
^4 "" 4- /I n r? K o f o
caase. ll IS luuiuicu IV-ua^y mat cinuvuing
party is being made up near the scene
of the shooting and that it is said intended
to lynch the negro to-night. Constable
Byrd, acting under instructions from the
Governor, through Magistrate Brunson,
of Orangeburg, slipped the negro off this
afternoon, and it is thought will take him
to Charleston, as he could hardly be properly
protected here.
Santos-l)nmont's Lnnatic.
Santos-Dumont was discussing with a
reporter the charge that he had mutilated I
his own airship at St Louis.
"Why should I have done that!1' he
said. "Either I was crazy to have done it,
or they were crazv who charged me with
doing it. The whole thing reminds me of j
an episode that happened before a lunatic
asylum.
"A lunatic," continued the aeronaut,
"leaned over the fence of the asylum
grounds, watching a repair job that was
going on Finally he took the pipe from
his mouth, blew a fragrant cloud of smoke
into the air, and said with languid interest
to the middle-aged man who was diging
a hole with a spade in the hard, stony
soil:
" 'What wages do you get, friend ?'
"'Six dollars a week," said the laborer, i
and he unknotted the red hankerchief
J that encircled his neck, and wiped the |
sweat trorn nis race.
" 'Are you married ?" continued the lunatic.
" 'I am,' said the laborer, 'and I am the
father of 11 young children besides.'
"The lunatic, puffing his pipe, mused a j
little while. Then he said :
"Tm thinking, friend, you're on the'
wrong side of the fence."'
Theodore.
(With apologies to Edgar Allen Poe)
It was in the Windy City, I was musing
full of pity, on the party that witty,
Wise and manly Abraham Lincoln led to
victory of yore,
When a journalistic Raven, in my chamber
sought a haven,
And I cried with spirit craven, "Tell the
worst and get it o'er!"
Quoth the Raven, "Theodore."
"Prophet," cried I, thing of evil!
Prophet still, if bird or devil!
"By this roof that bends above us,
by the chief we both adore!
"Tell this soul with grief dejected, if he's
going to be elected,
"Will this country be projected to the
dogs while we deplore?
j "He has had three years already, will he
have another lour?'
Quoth the Raven, "Never-more!"
"Be that word a happy token," I exclaimed
in accents broken,
"'Tis the kindest ever spoken to a fellow
feeling sore;
"To our ranks good men we'll muster,
and we'll route this bronco-buster
"And that cushioned chair whose lustre
he is fondly gloating o'er,
"Chair of Washington and Cleveland he
is fondly gloating o'er,
"He shall sit in nevermore."
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting,
still is sitting,
I On a placid bust of Cleveland just above
my chamber door;
[ And his eyes hare all the seeming of a
politician's dreaming,
And the sunset, o'er him streaming,
casts a shade from shore to shore;
And Teddy's soul from out the shadow
that extends from shore to shore,
Shall be lifted nevermore.

An Unexpected Retort.
A country newspaper man, who is very
fond of honey, visited a neighboring city
recently, and at one of the hotels he was
served with some delicious honey. He
enjoyed it so much that he told his wife
all about it when he returned home. On
his next trip to the city she accompanied
him. They visited the same hotel, and
when the noon meal was being served he
said to his wife that he hoped they had
some more of that honey. It did not ap?

therefore, beckoned to a waiter and said,
"Say, Sambo, where is my honey ?" He
was almost paralyzed when that worthy
grinned and replied: "She doan work
here no more, boss. She done got a job
at the silk mill." The wife received a
handsome new dress before they returned
home, after making a solemn promise notto
tell the story.
SICK HEADACHE.
"For years my wife was troubled with
what physicians called sick headache of
a severe character. She doctored with
several eminent physicians and at a great
expense, only to grow worse until she
was unable to do any kind of work. About
! a year ago she began taking Chamber1

PLEASED WITH MR. LAWSON.
New Baptist Minister Gives Great Satisfaction
in Beaufort,
Beaufokt, Aug 8.?All the pews were;
filled yesterday morning at the Baptist
church, the congregation being composed
of members of various other churches.
It was the second Sunday service held by
Rev M L Lawson, the new pastor from
Rnmhprcr "Rev W S Stokes of theiletho
dist church (whose church is closed this
month on account of his vacation) was
present with his family, and, in response
to an invitation from Mr Lawson, delivered
an impressive prayer for Divine
guidance and welfare of the members of
the Baptist church and members of other
denominations. Rev Mr Lawson then
selected his test from the 11th chapter of
St Matthew and 28th verse: "Come unto
me all ye that labor and are heavy laden
and I will give you rest." These proudly
effective words of the Savior were impressively
illustrated by the pastor. His
deep earnestness, stirring words and delivery
appeared to greatly please his
hearers. His future church work is likely
to result in the conversion of many souls
He urged all to accept the invitation of
Christ and seek rest and peace in his
merciful love.

Some Blunders of Type.
Illegible copy has caused innumerable
amusing and not a few serious blunders
in print. A speaker quoted these lines:
0 come, thou goddess fair and free,
In heaven yclept Euphrosyne.
They were printed as written:
O come, thou goddess fair and free,
i In heaven she crept and froze her knee.
The reporter was following sound.
Here is another illustration :
Those lovely eyes bedimmed.
Those lovely eyes be damned.
A congressman advocated grants of
public lands to "actual settlers." It g;ot
into the paper as "cattle stealers." A reporter
tried to write "the jury disagreed
and were discharged," but the compositor
set it up "the jury disappeared and was
disgraced." The last words in a poorly
written sentence, "Alone and isolated,
man would become impotent and perish,"
were set up as "impatient and peevish."?
