No matter what may the opinion of
some as to the dictagraph testimony, cJ
all will agree that $15,000 is a mighty T
big price to pay for a pardon. * m

Felder says he is not through with P
Blease by any mannervof means, and ^
that he is going to have him indicted la

by the governor in Atlanta. 0

The news comes from other coun- t\
ties that a Blease State ticket has k,
been sent out. We would like to ai
know the names on it, and we will tl
publish them if we can get hold of tl
them. v;

Several gentlemen have mentioned
to us the matter of organizing a Jones '
tl
Good Government Club in Bamberg,
and many of our best citizens who .
believe the State is disgraced by the | ]
\ present chief executive are heartily ^
in favor of such an organization. Let
vf"*. ? IX]
u? organize therefore to work for
good government as we see it and
with bitterness toward no man. The
man who wins is the man who works, '
so don't sit quietly down and then
get sore if the election don't go to '
suit you.

At the campaign meeting at St. k;
George last week a man shouted: tl
"Hurrah for Jones!" and Blease said: p<
j ''That's right, holler for Jones and as w
soon as it gets dark go around and se
see your nigger sweetheart." Aren't u]
we getting in an awful condition in A
N? South Carolina when' a man' can't tl
cheer for a candidate without being hi
insulted by Blease? It is time for h<
those good people who are thinking m
of voting for Blease to seriously con- er
sider the future of the State if he is tl
re-elected. ti
tl
There has been issued a book of
156 pages giving a record of the par- e>
dons and paroles by the governor, a*
and it is being used as a campaign ^
document. The book was printed by tj.
- the State printers, presumably at the
expense of the State. In 319 cases n.
j v unfortunates nave oeen savea irom g]
bondage inflicted by the courts and g]
jurors sworn to do their duty. We
ask any fair-minded man if it pos- r(
sible that our courts have become
"JbK- VV
such instruments of oppression and j
jurors so false to their sense of right
and justice that they have convicted
innocent men in so many cases that p]
they must be released by executive J(
action? Who is more liable to error,
the many judges and jurors who
tried these cases or one man who nullifies
the action of the courts?

The governor has certainly had e]
more trouble with his official family
than any chief executive in our rec- ^
ollection. One member of his staff, t<
Col. Jno. P. Grace, has testified that
he has traced liquor graft practically c<
up to the governor's office, and the
friendship existing between himself t]
and the governor has been broken. c<
Col. W. G. Stubbs, of Sumter, an- ^
other member of the staff and a I
friend of the governor, admits receiv- h
ing $100 for procuring a pardon. Col.
V. B. Cheshire, of Anderson, has re- h
signed from the staff because the v
governor wouldn't dismiss a magis- h
m trate whom Cheshire wanted turned d
out of office; and now Col. S. J. Nich- "1
oils, a close friend of the governor, t'
is reported by the dictagraph as stat- a
ing that the governor was to receive r
a part of the money paid for a par- o
don, and that he always divided with
the governor. Truly the governor's ?
a. . * . - Ct
"friends" are giving him lots of g
trouble. . " ]\

Wonder if Nichols has returned

Remember that people do not criti- *
ise Blease the man but Blease the '
;overnor. If he was a private citizen 1
is acts would not be discussed. *
We notice that the governor says ]
e is being supported by ministers (
n the State. We would like to know (
he names of any minsters who are '
upporting him, just for the sake of 1
mowing how many there are who 1
fill vote for him. 1
If there are any blind tigers in 1
Ihrhardt, there was certainly no evi- 1
ence of it at the campaign meeting 1
here Wednesday of last week. If
very town in the county was as well ^
ehaved as Ehrhardt, we could con- (
ratulate the county on freedom from c
iwlessness. *

x An Immigrant Tragedy.
Like a poor dumb brute?silently
ppreciative?the Russian Pollock
ame and went with his faded wife
nd his little curly-haired girl, and in
tie eyes of all of them was a hungry
earning for the homeland, bad as it s
ad been. America had not proven c
he Paradise pictured to them by s
ae immigration agents and the t
teamship officials; they had not, as
aey had expected, been endowed i
ith the Midas touch when they t
cached the western shores of this v
:range, new land. *
Here is his story: v
Persecuted, harassed, driven al- ^
lost to death, he left his Russia ^
bout four months ago and land- a
I in the mystic whirl of New York a
tv, from whence the immigration E
_ . . . . .. . v
?ents shipped him, his wire ana *
lild, south on a free labor ticket. s
hey arrived in Augusta, worked two *
lonths and then informed their em- 11
loyer?heaven knows who he was?
lat they desired payment for their *
ibor of two months that they might P
rnrney on to Atlanta and join those f
f their own tongue and race. They t
ere given fifty cents?fifty cents for c
vo months' labor!?and sent to Ai- v
en?toward Atlanta! The husband 0
ad father gave his wife and child Q
le fifty cent piece, placed them on c
le trolley and sent them to Aiken, s
hile he walked?walked all the *
ay!?and reached Aiken late Fri- b
ay afternoon. And for three days *
ley .had gone without food! * *
Stranded in Aiken without a pen- *
y, without a bite to eat, unable, any .
f them, to speak, read, write, or un- *
arstand one single word of English! e
lumbling incessantly "Atalanty." e
And in Aiken there were two Jews f'
ho understood the Polish language, *
r. Rudnick, at the Famous Bar- h
ain Store, and Mr. Solomon Suras- v
y, of Surasky Bros. The poor d
ollock was taken in Friday night, t.
id .and given lodging by Mr. Suras- c
y, who, Saturday morning, reported Q
le whole pitiable affair to a certain ii
jrson in Aiken. This latter person v
ent to the city officials, and was d
>n1^away with the advice: "Go take o
p a collection for him." Well, that
iken person wasn't very elated over d
lis prospect, nevertheless he went, t:
is Pollock with him, and everywhere J
2 told the story of "The Dumb Im- ^
igrants," purse-strings were loos- u
led, until $16.35 had been collected; t
iree hungry mouths fed, and two t.
ckets to Atlanta purchased, and as ?
le big, brawtiy man accepted the P
lunties the tears gathered in his G
res; he said nothing, but stooped s
id kissed the hands of his bene- b
ictors. And that expression of pain f
lat one sees in the face of a dog suf- a
sring pain passed from his counte- P
ance. The tired, little woman P
niled and the child chuckled in 8
lee. I
They are in Atlanta now, but they
imember Aiken and the persons
ho contributed to their welfare,

The other day a dairy company'9 a
implaint clerk was called to the tel- d
phone. A woman's voice was heard. \
This is Mrs. Mixin," she said. 'T
ant to know if your cows are con- li
mted?" t
"Wh-a-at?" asked the amazed
pmplaint clerk. v
She repeated her question. "I see t
hat your rivals advertise that their t
dws are all contented," said she. "1
ill begin to take their milk unless l
am assured that your cows are all s
appy."

Why He Fights Jones.
Mr. \V. H. Andrews, of Georgeown,
is fighting Judge Jones about
is hard if not harder than any man
n the State. Mr. Andrews is from
;he North or West and is the resiient
manager of the Atlantic Coast
number Company, the largest concern
of the kind in the South. This
jompany is owned principally by J.
Pierpont Morgan, of New York, and
s a trust concern of the worst kind.
:t has in its employ/ a great many
nen, who are said to be against
rudge Jones to a man. At the cam>aign
meeting in Georgetown these
nen an wore Daages wnn governor
31ease's name on them.
The reason of Mr. Andrews's oplosition
to Judge Jones is based on a
iecision made by the State Supreme
:ourt while Judge Jones was a mem>er
of that body that made the Atantic
Coast Lumber Company deal
ustly with the farmers and others
rom whom it bought standing trees
>n their lands. In other words, the
iecision prevented Mr. Andrews's
:ompany from virtually confiscating
he land on which the trees that it
lought^ from farmers and others
itood. It was a most righteous de ision
and was farreaching in its reults
and gave great satisfaction to
he land owners.
So as our readers can understand
he great benefit the decision was to
he farmers and other land owners
t-hose trees had been bought by the
Ltlantic Coast Lumber Company we
nil give a brief recital of the facts.
Vhen the big lumber company began
>usiness at Georgetown it bought up
11 i-i. - a xi. ^ J ^~
,11 me trees on me ictuu iui -umes
round from farmers and others. In
tiany instances these trees were
tought very low, with the undertanding
on the part of the sellers
hat they were to be cut off the land
n a reasonable time by the buyers.
After waiting a reasonable time
or the Atlantic Coast Lumber Com any
to cut off the trees, some of the
armers and others on whose land
he trees stood asked the lumber
ompany to cut the trees as they
ranted to utilize their land. Instead
f complying with this reasonable reuest,
the lumber company put up the
laim that they could let the trees
tand on the land until they needed
hem. In other words, if the lumer
company did not need the trees
or a hundred years, it had a right to
he use of the land for that length of
ime or longer.
This really amounted to a confiscaion
of the land, on which the ownr
had to pay the taxes. The farmrs
and other owners of the land reused
to submit to having their lands
hus confiscated and took the matter
a the courts, and after a long fight
rith the lumber company got a verict
from the supreme court settling
he matter for all time. By that deision
the lumber company was reuired
to cut the trees from the land
a a reasonable time so as the land
ould be utilized by its owner. The
ecision restored the land to its
wners.
This is the reason why Mr. Anrews
is fighting- Judge Jones and
rying to re-elect Governor Blease.
udge Jones does not claim any credL
for this decision, as he was only
pholding the right as he construed
he law bearing on the subject. But
his decision shows that he was not
avoring the corporations against the 1
eople, and makes him very solid in
reorgetown, which he will carry in
pite of what Mr. Andrews and his
ig lumber corporation does to deeat
him. It proves to the farmers i
nd other lond owners that their
roperty and other rights would be
erfectly safe with Judge Jones as
overnor.?Orangeburg Times and

His Reason.
*
A banker in central Kentucky was
q the habit of wearing his hat a
;ood deal during business hours, as
n summer the flies used his bald
iate for a parade ground, and in winer
the cold breezes swept over its
iolished surface. A negro workman
n the railroad each week presented
, check and drew his wages, and one
lay*, as he put his money in a greasy
pallet, the banker said: .
"Look here, Mose, why don't you
et some of that money stay in the
tank and keep an occount with us?"
The darky leaned toward him and,
nth a quizzical look at the Derby
he banker wore, answered confidenially:
"Boss, I'se jes' afeared. You look
ike you was always ready to start
omewheres."?Harper's.
Still Safer.
In his first curacy, a clergyman
ound the women of the parish enirely
too helpful. Such a storm of
lpttv smmhhles arose from their over
iagerness to help that in despair he
jave up the place. Not long aftervard
he met his successor.
"How are you getting on with the
vomen?' asked the escaped curate.
"Oh, very well," was the answer.
'There's safety in numbers."
"I found it in Exodus," was the
luick reply.?Youth's Companion.
