Thursday, Sept. 6,1906 Well, Mr. Blease has had his "chance." # * * No protest of the recent election has yet been filed by the Hon. Coley L. Blease, of Newberry. Strange! * Some people in this county have said in the past that the implied support of this newspaper hurts a candidate for a county office. Wonder what they think about it now ? * * t * To take Mr. Wylie's statement, the last legislature didn't do much in the way of "purifying" the dispensary. Well, he's a member of the State board and ought to know how things are being run. . * * p. . * It is the duty of every citizen to vote, so be at the polls next Tuesday. Vote your convictions. Don't be led away by idle tales and campaign rumors. No doubt there will be plenty of these in circulation. * W"**' M. * A good friend of ours?we won't tell on him?a few days before the first primary strenuously asserted that Hub Evans, would ?ead the legislative ticket in Newberry county. A cog must have slipped somehow, for Hub was hopelessly defeated. \ fe *** The editor of The Herald voted for Joel E. Branson at the recent primary. Now we will vote for Ansel. It looks like all the people want him, and far be it from us to oppose the will of the "pee- . pul.:' We want to be on the winning side once in a while anyway. * * # If Mr. Manning has any friends they'd better advise him to get out of the second ^ race. He stands no show of winning, and a contest is worse than useless. Were ^m/\t*t Via nAiil/1 r\r\mn a nro 1 n lie VU Wllijgiuiaw uurr,^ wuiu Wiuv aguiu in four years with a new platform and stand some show of winning out. * ? > * * Cole Blease did not get a majority in his own county for governor, and Ansel N came very near beating him. The vote in Newberry for governor was: Ansel, 831;.Blease, 1,018; Branson, 124; Jones> 115; Manning, 131; McMahan, 135; Sloan, 117. Out of 2,471 votes Blease received V only 1,018. Evidently the people of that county know Blease. * * * Remember that a member of the pres^ ent board of State dispensary directors has said that the institution is still corrupt. He denies it?let us give him credit for that?but unfortunately he made the statement in the presence of three other gentlemen, and all agree that he did say it. So there you are. Guess we'll have to accept his first statement rather than * the last. * * Bamberg, scratched Senator Tillman pretty well for a dispensary county, and yet these scratches did not come from the towns only. In the town of Bamberg 255 votes were polled, and yet Tillman received 219, only getting 36 scratches. At Olar only 130 votes were polled, and Tillman received ill, tne r voters at that precinct giving him 19 scratches. A study of the election table will prove interesting. * * * This newspaper has taken very little interest in politics this year, not becoming a partisan for any man. However, the second primary is approaching, and there are issues to settle as well as candidates to be elected. We would appreciate it if Ansel would carry the county for governor and Lyon for attorney general. We know Mr. Manning personally and would like to support him, but we cannot abide his idea of forcing a dispensary on a county whether the people want it or not. Mr. Ansel's platform is to leave the settlement of this question to the voters of the various counties, and that is our position. No matter what our opinion is, we are willing to trust the masses, and when the voters of our county shall have expressed themselves, ? ?-5 ? 4A AsistArvt tLn i/>f Tf I W6 SirtJ rCSUJf IV fti/Vtpu vug T giuivt* xi we want the dispensary in Bamberg, why let ns have it. but do not force it on a county where the people do not want it. The personality of either man should not cut any figure. A principle is always greater than the man. For attorney general, Mr. Lyon represents a principle, and for that reason he should be elected. : We.have known of his opponent for a . number of years, and we must confess that we could not support him for anything, but that does not count in this case. Lyon's work as a member of the investigating committee stamps him as a man without prejudice and without fear. I He saved the State $65,000 on the glass ] " scandal alone, and our people should < place him in a position where he can < continue the good work. Let Bamberg county roll upa big majority for Ansel and Lyon. r -J. V ' . ? .. . >. Notice the fellows who say the support of this newspaper hurts a candidate, and you will find without exception that they are always in favor of "the other fellow." That's where the shoe pinches. As a rule, our men get elected all right. * * * Our sympathy goes out to Editor G. E. Moore, of the Honea Path Chronicle, who lost his newspaper outfit by fire last week. However, The Chronicle came out as usual, and will continue publication. The loss falls heavily on Brother Moore, as he had no insurance. TILLMAN?TRADITION SMASHER. "I am a Rude Man and Don't Care," is His Constant Boast. In the World's Work for October Zack McGhee writes a near-at-hand view of Senator Tillman, from which the following is quoted: Near the center of the Senate chamber, directly in front of the Vice President, sits a large, burly, surly-looking man, with a tremendous square head, set upon a pair of broad, square shoulders, the corners of his mouth drawn down nearly to the lower margin of his heavy, square jaws. He is clean shaven?that is, he is shaven; perhaps it was the day before yesterday that he shaved. His thick, slightly gray hair is dishevelled, and he wears just such clothes as you would expect to see on a man who says on the floor of the Senate: "I am a rude man and don't care." But when he rises from his seat and addresses the Chair in a high-pitched, almost whining voice, standing somewhat nervously, one shoulder slightly raised above the other, his one dark-brown, glistening eye flashing through the room like a searchlight, the other Senators put down the newspapers and slowly turn in their seats; those walking about instinctively tread more softly or stop in their tracks; and many necks in the visitor's galleries are craned to get a better view, and there is a movement in the press gallery to get a little nearer the front. "The only thing that ever happens in the Senate," wrote a correspondent one day, "is Senator Tillman." Beyond doubt he is the most interesting figure in that body of exceptionally interesting men. "I may not be able to shed much light in this body, Mr. President," he observed one day as he interrupted a debate between two great constitutional lawyers with a homely, direct question, which went straight to the point, "but I sometimes manage to break the glass." FOR HONEST WEIGHTS. At the coming session of the legislature an effort will be made to have a law passed regulating the sale and use of computing scales in this State, which ought to pass. There is a war on between two companies making these devices. It seems that one company has been putting on the market a scale which they claim protects the merchant, in that it gives to the seller the fraction on every transaction. In other words the scales compute so as tq make the buyer pay the fraction when there is any, and this works a great hardship on the small buyer? the poor man. Not only are these scales manufactured for this purpose but they are boldly advertised as a scale which takes care of the seller. The matter has gotten into the courts of other States, and while the story of the litigation is too long to tell this week, still it is sufficient to say that the company which is making the fight for honest weights won out. Now the matter is to be pushed before the law makers of every State, in order that the people may be pro tected against such practices. We trust that our legislature will enact a law cov* ? ? ? ? 1 t. am Anf htaS f O enng me case,ioruenami^ uuucst nciguto and measures mean much to the poor man, and legislation along this line will be in the right direction. Glorious Finish. A dear old New England spinster, the embodiment of the timid and shrinking, passed away at Carlsbad, where she had gone for her health, says Lippincott's Magazine. Her nearest kinsman, a nephew, ordered her body sent back to be buried?as was her last wish?in the quiet little country churchyard. His surprise can be imagined, when, on opening the casket, he beheld, instead of the placid features of his Aunt Mary, the ' majestic port of an English general in full regimentals, whom he remembered had chanced to die at the same time and place as his aunt. At once he cabled to the general's heirs explaining the situation and requesting instructions. They came back as follows: "Give the general quiet funeral. Aunt Mary in lerreu luuay wnu iuu uiimaijr uuuuio, six brass bands, saluting guns." Card from Mr. Ansel. To the Democratic voters of Bamberg County: I take this means of expressing my sincere thanks to the many voters of Bamberg county who cast their ballots for me as Governor of South Carolina on the 2Sth ult. I feel very grateful for this manifestation of their confidence in me, and am truly grateful to the people all over the State for the splendid vote given me in the first race. I now ask that all of my friends turn out on the 11th of September and let us roll up a large majority, and I respectfully solicit the solid vote of your county on that day, promising to give to the office my undivided time and best ability. Very respectfully, M. F. Ansel. Greenville, S. C., September 3rd, 1906. -. XVwj. , y , f. NURSE'S STRIKING OFFER. Ready to Care For Outcast Leper In West Virginia Mountains. Charles Ccsmau, a nurse at the Mcntefiore Home For Chronic Invalids, in New York, was interviewed by a New York Herald reporter recently in connection with the present isolation of George Rossett, the Syrian leper, in the mountains of West Virginia. Cosman has had a great deal of experience in nursing, and he spoke in bitter terms about what he called the inhumanity of American civilization. He Is a Hollander and speaks several languages with fluency. He said: "What Is this civilization that we speak of that allows a man to live like a snake in the brush? That allows him perhaps to die of madness from isolation? Has the government, having allowed this Syrian to enter the J ^ ? ? ? " ? ? ? f A country iour ywus ugu, ujc wSui iv permit this man to be segregated like a human viper because, through no fault of his own, he has contracted a contagious disease? Do you think it is Just? Is this what has been accomplished by civilization when a human being is goaded into the naked mountains to sleep in the grass like a toad? "There is another feature to the case also. What about the mountain streams at which-this man drinks a&d washes? Does not this same stream supply the, water for perhaps a settlement farther down the current? Maybe the man will take off a wornout shoe or a hat or any other garment and leave it by the roadside. Suppose, then, that some traveler in some manner comes in contact with this appareL Suppose that the traveler even lies down and touches the spot where the leper has been, will he not carry the disease Into the settlement? Do these civilized people think that by scourging the man Into the wilderness they have rid themselves of the possibilities of contagion? Hardly. T am now willing to do this If 1 can find some one to guarantee all my expenses. I am tired of the existence of everyday routine and stand ready to go at any moment and care for the unfortunate man until the end. In order to do this I will myself be segregated from all the world. My friends will receive no word from me. I will simply live In the forest with this leper, taking care or mm arter tne maimer of a professional nurse, wearing rubber gloves, devoting my life to him until his death occurs. Then I will return to what you call civilization. All I ask is that my expenses during the time be guaranteed." THEORY ON CANCER. Dr. Nicholas Senn Holds the Disease Dae to Civilisation. Dr. Nicholas Senn of Chicago has returned from an extended exploration In the heart of Africa and has brought back with him the results of discoveries which It Is expected will throw light on the treatment of cancer, says a Chicago dispatch. "After closely observing the condition of health In Africa and comparing the conditions found with those I had observed while on my polar expedition with Peary I am convinced that cancer is purely a disease of civilization," said Dr. Senn. There is absolutely no cancer among the natives, which are animals pure and simple. Prom that I am led to assume that If we in America had natural mothers and were allowed to be brought up simply and on the plainest food the spread of cancer among Americans would be quickly checked. My investigations showed me that cancer It not a parasitic disease, but is merely erratic tissue growth, and when we have found a method to ripen the unJamaIaiva^ ^IflnnA la a AO nAOf UOOU^) VTU1V44 **J U WM'WVAf the cure will be sure and absolute." Dr. Senn spent three months In .the heart of Africa. The conclusion of his travels and studies from an ethnological standpoint Is that the African Is nearly an unmixed hamltlc race. He Is purely animal and subject to none of the diseases of civilization except pneumonia. The pygmies, he believes, are genuine aborigines, who through centuries of oppression have lost their speaking tongue and express themselves In the "Click" language, which is understood by the monkeys among which they live. Loaklaa* Hunting Immigrant*. "Louisiana is the first state of the Union, so far as I know, that has ever appropriated money to send a commission to Europe for the purpose of encouraging Immigration to that state," saM Francis Dodge of Baton Rouge, La^ to a correspondent of the Milwaukee Sentinel This was done by the last state legislature, and much good Is expected of it Charles Schuier, commissioner of agriculture and immigration, will make a tour of Europe and will show the advantages that Louisiana offers to the foreigners who desire to make a home in the new worid. Hie will visit Ireland, Germany, Italy and Austria. Other south era ana western states are ^xpeciea w follow tn the lead of Louisiana, and in a short time perhaps states will be offering special prizes to the foreigners who settle within their boundaries." A Church For Children. The Rev. Harry A. King, pastor of the Oakley Methodist Episcopal church of Kansas City, Mo., Intends to start a church for children, with children on the official board, a child organist child officers, deacons, ushers and congregation, says a Kansas City dispatch. He intends to have the children^ church organized on the forms and discipline laid down by the general conference for the churches formed hy adults. He hopes to have the new church ready to be opened this fall. Services would.be held weekly. He believes the project will greatly attract the children of the neighborhood. _ ~ 1 * - AN OLD SOLDIERS TRIBUTE To J. H. Wharton, Candidate for Re-Election as Railroad Commissioner, To the Confederate soldiers, their sons and grandsons of South Carolina: There is a lot being said through the papers and circulars for and against candidates. Let me, an old old man, have just a word to say. I am an old Confederate soldier, a member of James' Battalion, Kershaw's old Brigade?God bless every one of them that are living. At Berryville on September 4th, 1864, as a strong young man, fighting for my country, a ball from a gun in the hands of a Yankee entered my left eye and ranged backward; it was ? - 1 W < - -i._ T 1 never located ana ior ioriy years i nave carried this ball with me, and, except while asleep, I have never been free from pain. For years I have been dying by inches until the end is most in sight. Col. J. H. Wnarton, also an old soldier, has always been my friend. Today he is furnishing me a house and garden, patches, pasture for my cow, all free of charge, and has been doing so for years. I have been unable to work and have nothing to live on except my pension of four dollars per month, and the county commissioners give me three dollars a month, making eighty-four dollars a year. Myself and wife are old, unable to work, and if we had house rent to pay we would often go hungry and cold; but a good man is watching our struggle for life. "We raise our voice and ask the people to support J. H. Wharton. This may be the last time that I will ever be able to vote in an election, but I will know that I cast my vote for a good, true, big hearted man. Yours, MACK ELMORE. Waterloo, August 6.
